House of Gold

"She asked me, Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"

I write this to my mother in honor of Mother's Day. 

Dear Mom,

    Thank you. Thank you for all the butt whoopins as a child. You were the tiger mom we all needed (LOL). In all seriousness though, thank you for always being there for us... for sacrificing your education to make our childhood vast with experiences. The zoo, the hot hair balloon festivals, swim team practices, the backyard picnics, the free reading programs at the library, the free movies every Tuesday morning in the summer, basically anything free  - we remember it all. You taught us the mindset of hard work and determination; second place was never enough (neither were B's), no slacking or giving up EVER. I hope you know that you were never too hard on us (we needed it lol). We love your energy; you wear your heart on your sleeve. Always passionate whether it was sports you dont understand to dancing or karaoke! And oh yeah, nothing beats mom's cooking (even that one time you made orange juice stew LOL KEKW)

I know you will probably never read this (no one knows of this blog), but I want to make you promise (ok now this is more for me to remember). When I finish my education and spread of my wings, you will NEVER have to work a day in your life again. I know you love to travel and YOU WILL. Every damn country from the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli. Paris, Tokyo, Sydney? Just name it. You fed me so now the best chefs in the world will cook for you. Steaks, prime rib, & sushi everyday. Spas every afternoon and beaches every weekend. I promise you the world because your sons will never forsake you. I speak for all your sons (and maybe your daughter? jk of course haha).

That's happened to me

 I've never wanted something so bad in this life. It is almost as if I am manic. I've lost my mind... "I've lost my mind doing this doing this sht. Like Vincent van Gogh. He dedicated his life to his art and lost his mind in the process. That's happened to me. But f--k it."   -The Notorious      Every second of everyday is dedicated towards this one goal. I train and study every waking second until my mind is mush. Until every fiber in my being is screaming for me to stop. Until the people around me beg me to tone it back- then I keep going. We are more capable than we believe, and now, I finally get a glimpse of it. I've squandered many years with half-assed effort, but no more. The goal is all I think about now. It wakes me up every morning and keeps me up every night. Everything else in life on hold. Let's fucking get it.

Legends of the Fall

Greetings to the future, It has been a while old friend. My hiatus has finally come to an end, for I have found my way again. All is well in the world. I have found the path that must be walked. A reason for the struggle. An end to the road. A why. I have found it once more. I know what I want in this life. This dream now keeps me up at night and has me leaping out of bed before the sunrise. When we wander aimlessly, no amount of motivation can carry us through the storm. A ship with no direction will never reach the port.  I will do everything it takes to get what is mine. I will do great things. I promise you. Remember this day. 1 year to make it happen. WE RE BACK BABY! LETS GET IT "What we do in this life echoes in eternity." -Gladiator II
