Betrayal

 
Not to long ago I had a friend, as a matter of fact a "best friend' nearly my brother  but after many years i finally realized that he was just a joke, a buster. For all you people out there who don't know what  a buster is, a buster is someone who says they are something they're not. Anyway back to the story, well i've known this kid ever since the 3rd grade and he was my friend all the way till 9th grade. We had our problems but the truth didn't start unfolding till we got to high school.

So many secrets, so many lies. The person who I thought was my ride or die was really my enemy. I figured out that he would talk crap behind my back and try to get with my girfriend or should I say girlfriends. Everytime I would achieve or accomplish something he would lie to my face and be happy for me but later on I would hear people say he was saying stuff to make me look bad. I guess he was jealous, but hey I would be jealous of me too. I would always want to beat his ass but because of the brotherly love I had for him I never laid a fist to his face. When I found out he would try to get with my girlfriends I really didnt care because girls were like candy, and flavor any type I could have them all. That was when I was little kid, but now I got some more sense in me.

Even when it came to graffiti he was always putting me down. Starting back in the 4th grade graffiti was pretty big, I hung around a lot of kids that did art and graffiti. I'm not going to lie but back then he was better than me but after many years of practicing and never giving up I final put his ass shame. Now people are like speechless on my stuff and people tell him, dam you need some serious help. Graffiti and art is and will always remain my one true love, and I hate when kids like him abuse her and waster her time.

I could tell you this persons name but then you wouldn't believe my story. Once my brother, my bestfriend, now my enemy. I guess my mom was always right " You came in this world alone, so you don't need nobody". Once friends, now foes.

New Episode

  Speedy debuted in 1953's Cat-Tails for Two, directed by Robert McKimson. This early Speedy was a meaner, skinnier, rattier-looking creation with a sizable gold front tooth. The cartoon featured him outwitting a smart-and-stupid pair of cats, George and Benny (parodies of George and Lenny), aboard a ship.It would be two years before Friz Freleng and animator Hawley Pratt redesigned the character into his modern incarnation for the 1955 Freleng short, Speedy Gonzales. The cartoon features Sylvester the Cat menacing a group of mice while guarding a cheese factory at the Mexican border. The mice call in the plucky, excessively energetic Speedy to save them, and amid cries of "¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!" (Spanish for "Go on! Go on! Up! Up!) courtesy of Mel Blanc, Sylvester soon gets his comeuppance. The cartoon won the 1955 Academy Award for Best Short Subject.

On a beautiful Sunday morning, right after Mass Speedy was on his way to the local market to get some cheese. When he sees Sylvester chasing Tweety Bird along the border. Speedy rushes over there to help him get away from the ferocious cat. Speedy and Tweety get chased into market, they hide in fruits and local junk. While Sylvester is roaming around looking for them. Speedy and Tweety come up with a greet plan to capture the cat. With Speedys great speed and Tweety great knowledge they make a trap. While Sylvester was turned around they were putting the plan into affect. While Twitty is finishing up the trap, Speedy gets Sylvesters attention. Sylvester then chases Speedy threw out the market and right into the trap. "WHAM" Sylvester runs into a fake wall while Speedy went right into the cut out mouse hole. Then Sylvester steps back and Twitty moves the prop. Sylvester still dazed see's what appears to be "Tweety" but does not see the cage around fake bird. He runs in there graps the fake bird and as he's doing that Speedy and Tweety shut the bird cage and lock it shut. Speedy and Tweety chuckle and walk away in the market. Later on that day Tweety had to go back home so Speedy walked him to the border and gives him a sombero and a pancho to remeber him by. They say their final good byes and Speedy dashes off into the sunset yelling "¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba!"

Courage & Bravery


Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. (Ambrose Redmoon)

To me courage and bravery can't work without one another. To many courage is an act of rising to the challenge when nobody is willing to and bravery is an act of rising to challenge even though you know you might not succeed, but to me they're the same crap. Being a boxer I have both of these traits  because it takes a lot of courage and bravery to step into that ring, knowing that you might get your ass kicked. Getting hit doesnt feel so good but I love the sport so much that it's fun. Sure I might become brain dead but just like any other athelete, if you love your sport your going give it your all. Just like the qoute says something else is more important than fear and that something else for me is my family. When ever I get into that ring I see many face but the only faces I focus on other than my oppents is my families, and to see them happy and smilling makes me happy and pushes me further. I might mess up every now and then but I will always rise to the challenge.

"Let me tell you how you measure a man, when his world start to fall, see how tall he stand. It matters not how many times you fall down, what matters most how many times you rise. Mistakes build character and character takes you places where money can't".-(Clifford"T.I."Joseph Harris Jr,2010)

Great Debaters


The Great Depaters follows the 1935 Wiley College debate team from its modest beginnings in Marshall, Texas, to national prominence. English professor/farmers' union organizer Melvin B. Tolson (Denzel Washington, who also directed) coaches the team, embodying worthy life lessons for both his students and his colleague, theology professor James Farmer Sr., the strict father of 15-year-old team member James Jr.. Among these lessons are his resistance to a brutally racist local sheriff  and his determination to overcome the pervasive racism of the time. The team overcomes a number of trials -- a brief and suitably tender affair between two members, their coach's incarceration and blacklisting, some rebellious drinking, and a harrowing scene in which they witness a lynchingn and their debate topics tend to underscore broader struggles. Ultimately, they make it to a final showdown with Harvard.
