hey fellow dudes and dudettes!
life in lancaster, california has turned quite interesting since my last post which was whenever!!!

my parents are now here from africa and there is a ton of friction going down. okay it hasn`t been 48hours but i already detect some problemos brewing in the joint. and i don`t like it! arrrgghhh. it`s 1.12am in the morning and i don`t feel like sleeping.so i`ll just sit here and pour my heart out.

people can be fake sometimes. i don`t know why but they just can. if i ever start acting fake, slap me across the head will you?!?!?!? cause it annoys me right out of my skin. where is this going you ask? i dunno. i`m rambling. and it`s doing me good.

i think that i am surrounded by some superficial people. and i was once quite superficial. not to claim that i no longer am. lets just say i am more aware of it now and i tend to check myself when it comes on. (just like a light bulb!) i must have been an annoying person before i "evolved" cause i look at other people and i see my own bad traits reflected in them. oh freakin`aay. this just really sucks. big time.

my best friend is the a gift sent from heaven. like no other. she has stood by me even when i was a stupidass. i love her so much. Thank you God.

oh and thank you God, (since it is thanksgiving!) for

hey my peeps
today i went into a freshman high school class to introduce the interact club that i intend to launch before i leave for home. these little people were my experimental class.(what they said would give me a rough idea of how i should proceed with other classes)

so i went ahead and presented the whole show. my video, rotaty`s video, my story etc. then i opened it up for questions. the first thing i noticed it that during the whole presentation they would start to lose interest within 5 minutes and that was very depressing. i thought to myself,"man this is going to be hard..."

every single face was blank. like they couldn`t careless bout what i had to say. (which is the impression that i got but i may be making a stereotypical judgement...i am human) so what did i do? baited them with the chance of being an exchange student. then everyone wanted to know how they could become exchangees.would they live with rich families who would give them stuff all the time? do they get to do whatever they want? did they HAVE to DO community service? couldn`t they just skipp the whole process?

the thought that came to mind was, i came here to speak about a youth service organization and all these kids care about is benefiting for themselves. Selfish kids.

i was so annoyed but i can`t pass judgement like that. i have been self centred too. actually for most of my life i`ve been self centred. it was all about me. nobody else mattered. and this is how these kids were acting like towards me.what a slap in the face.

now that i look at it, my intial fears are coming true. right before MY FREAKIN` EYES!!! i genuinely thought that people would think another youth service organization on campus would be bullpoop and they just think it is wack. Well, i WILL NOT GIVE UP LIKE THAT. these people WILL HEAR FROM ME! they need to realise that they are so blessed and that there are people out there who need their help too. SHOO! these kids need a paradigm shift.OH MY FREAKN` GOSH. how am i going to change the way these kids think about themseleves within 10 weeks? i need something drastic . Got ideas? somethings are just so difficult but i refuse to give up. they need to know.
(am i sounding hysterical? well that`s cause i feel so fustrated by this all!)
i`ll figure out something, but for now, i`m gonna try and figure out how to sort out this problem of mine.
goodness knows it is something that needs to be addressed. like pronto.
much love

ps i hope i didn`t offend anyone! i apologize right now it if i did.

oh my gosh!!!!! hehehehehehehehehehe!!!! this is so funny! i din`t do anything great. total crack up! hey at least now i have one more thing to bribe my parents with when they get here. oh did i tell you? yeah my parents are going to visit me in about a week for my debutante ball. Yes, i am a debutante! do i act like one? only when the need calls for it!!!! ah man. this is turning into a pretty interesting day already!!! hey dudes! i`m starting a club on campus called Interact. it`s a branch off of rotary international. really a fantastic club. (once it gets going!!) does anyone out there have ideas on member retention and fundraising? i need some help like pronto!!!

thinking about what i just wrote i realised that every person on this earth suffers from what i just experienced. it will take me a while to figure out a way to change the way people think or even react. i will come up with something!!!!that`s what i`m here for!!!!
