Another Hero Watching Over Us

Today the world lost another inspiration. Nelson Mandela passed away. I have many favorite quotes from him. Here are just a few...



"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

"Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will." 

"In my country we go to prison first and then become president."

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." -Nelson Mandela. I will have this quote posted in my classroom one day.”

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.”

“If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”

“There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children.”

“We must use time wisely and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right.”

“I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man.”

“A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger. You don't have that idea when you are arrogant, superficial, and uninformed.”

“To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.”

“No country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.”


“Our single most important challenge is therefore to help establish a social order in which the freedom of the individual will truly mean the freedom of the individual.”

Rest in Peace Paul Walker!

Our world was forever changed again on November 30, 2013. Paul Walker was taken from us, along with his good friend and business partner Roger Rodas, in a single car accident in which the car they were traveling in crashes into a light pole, then into a tree and the the car burst into flames. We lost a son, a father, a brother, an uncle, a friend, a companion, a hero, a role model. 

It's another one of those moments where our generation will be asked, "do you remember where you were when you heard the news about Paul Walker?"

Holidays Are Here

It never seems to fail that as soon as the holidays come about my mood changes to a stuck up bitch. I become depressed and want nothing to do with anyone. I really hate the holidays now that I don't have a job and I cannot go and buy all the gifts like I used to do when I worked for the school district. Money was never an issue back then. Sometimes I wish I never left the school district. I know it was the best thing for my considering who my boss was and the fact that she was screwing me over because I broke up with her son. I wish I had a job period then it wouldn't be this bad. I wouldn't have all these bills that need to get paid. Granted I am making progress on them and one is almost paid off which will leave me with one at $1200 to pay off and then I will have no bills to pay except for Car Insurance, and Gym Fees, which I haven't used in a while. Maybe I should. I seem to have lost some weight with all the walking I did at Pomona and the City, also I haven't been drinking soda. I slipped up once in Pomona because there was nothing else to drink and I was dying and also once when I got home. So I have had 2 sodas in almost 40 days. That's really good for me. I need to go back to drinking more and more water.

Well spring semester is just around the corner and my crazy ass is taking 16 units. Well right now 11, but if I get the class I am wait-listed for I will have 16 units. I am taking Biology, History, English, Yoga, and I am wait-listed for Math. After that semester, if I do get the Math class and keep them all and pass them, I will have 6 classes left to take and then I can transfer. I guess I should start looking into getting all my information to transfer. Maybe I should meet with my friend at UC Merced to see when I need to get the process started.

I Swear

Some people are just put on this earth to piss me off. I'm sorry, but I do not respect anyone who raises their hand and hits a female or calls them a Fucking Bitch. But when my name starts to come out of your mouth and everyone knows that it's lies pisses me off even more. You only paid for my dinner for 3 nights. Everything else came out of my pocket. I bought all my own shirts, sweatshirts, etc. I bought all my own food and drinks, plus or minus a bottle of water or two that your daughter bought me. My pomona tickets themselves never came out of your pocket. That's an insult to my grandmother who paid for every single cent of it.

Ugh people piss me the fuck off!

Vacation Time

I know I haven't posted all that much lately but just a heads up, I am going on vacation for a week and really won't be posting. Maybe on Facebook and Instagram and twitter, but that's it.
