And It All Falls Down

Mmmmmm ok, I think I'm ok now. You ever just feel like nothing fits? I'm trying to find a song to fit my mood to help cool down this mood, but all I got is "All Falls Down" - Kanye West, thanks for trying Kanye. But anyways this blog is going to be about everything that just seems to be bothering me
1. School
------------> So last semester I managed to be an active member in 3 organizations while balancing 7 classes and life. Surprisingly I pulled it all off! I had 3 A's, 3 B's and 1 C and raised up my GPA. I came into the fall semester thinking, I CAN DO THIS! I now have 6 classes and active in 1 org. This semester started off very promising and good. Now....it feels like everything is just falling apart. I find myself not wanting to go to certain classes, pushing some of those classes' homework til the last minute. Idk. I think I dedicate myself to my music classes more than anything just cause I'm right there ( being accepted into the Department of Music) and the rest of my classes are like neh whatever. But I am trying...trying to be on time to class, to pay attention, to study correctly according to me, pass tests and overall trying to learn something from these classes while enjoying them. It feels like a ridiculous balancing act and like the game sorry, like as soon as I move up 2 spaces, something bumps me back to start. Idk what's wrong with me. I spend more time in the Library studying and doing homework than anything. I was able to do all of this in high school and I've gotten better at doing all of this in college. However, I still find myself struggling to tread in the water of life.
2. Money
----------> Well I was suppose to go to Puerto Rico this winter for X-mas and New Years, but the money I got back from school (which is what I was going to use to pay for my ticket) was used for rent. Which at first kind of pissed me off cause I had no idea that the majority of that money was going to be used, but hey.....gotta have a roof over my head right? So I've let go of the idea of finally enjoying myself on a sandy beach on la isla del encanto while its a slushy,blistery, below 0 holiday season in Chicago. But now it just feels like I got every bill in the world to pay and there's just no enjoying or using a little bit of the money I make to enjoy myself. And it's like everyone close to me is hurting for money, my parents, my best friend. Ugh
I just feel like I need more than 24 hours in a day to do what ever I need to do AND get enough sleep.
BUT! I do thank God for everything in my life
A home with a roof and heat and running water
Food
The wellness of my family and friends
Good friends
Good memories
Good opportunities
Good and fun teachers who really care
Music
An awesome boyfriend who makes me laugh all the time and answers his phone even when he's sleeping
And the wellness of myself
Some how I just need to freeze time and figure out things and work around it. Please help me and wish me well....
Oh! I forgot to mention I woke up this morning and it was JUST CRAPPY OUT! Raining and windy and all that crap. I don't know about you but the weather affects me, like how I am when I wake up in the morning. So since today was just crappy, I woke up crappy, and had a crappy morning, BUT hopefully it won't be a crappy day.
Thanks for hearing me out

My Baby You: Lieben Kitty
As a parent, you have this child or infant who is new to everything. While they get use to this new world, they are learning 1 of the most important lessons of life and that is to trust. So here you have this baby who can't do anything for themselves so they have to trust that you will do everything for them to keep them healthy ( of course many would argue babies don't know that, but i believe deep down in their tiny hearts, they know). So because they are still babies, they can't really communicate with you...you have ideas on what they want and what you think they are saying to you...but you still don't know. The great thing about it all though, is day in and day out, they are there, waiting for you, there to see you every moment of the day...and regardless of how crappy your day went or even how crazy they make you....you can't help but smile when you see them. Then your baby gets older and here they are, making friends with mischief and getting into everything. As a loving parent the most common phrase they will hear you say ( outside of "I love you") is "NO!!!". At some point they understand no, but still do it anyway....just because. But what you don't realize until you feel it is YOU LOVE THEM! You love them soo much that when they are hurt or cry and they can't tell you why, you are amazingly miserable for the fact you can only do so much to help. You love them soo much that you would walk to the other side of the world on glass barefooted just to get them or help them. That they could both physically and emotionally hurt you, but you still cant stop loving them. Now I don't know if this is parental love, but IT IS TRUE LOVE.
This is dedicated to you my Lieben, because you make me laugh, because you look for me when I get home, because you wake me up just to feed you and because I know you love me and because I love you
This is also dedicated to my nephews ( Giovanni and Ivan) and my Aspira babies!

Our Song: A Poem by Me
Written by J.N.
In memory of El Mio
What was once our song, is now so long gone
Well not really, but the emotional pull is so strong, can you still feel me?
So now when I hear that B to A , that A to a G, that G to an Fb, that Fb to an E
I think this was me, this was you….this was us
Was it a gust of lust?
The domination of infatuation?
Or were we just so much into each other that we didn’t take the time to listen to what we should have heard?
Which was the sound in between our words
As I write, that solo plays in my mind’s ear
And how I wish to get it out of my head, its still there
BEEE, AY, GEE, F flat, AY E, EEE
And it keeps going…
It goes to the trills which give me electric chills
To imagine your fingers tips caressing me just as passionate as you touch you frets
I try to forget, and it’s hard because I can’t or maybe I just don’t want to
Fantasies and day dreams of us together seem to drift out of my reality as you rift into an inferno tonality
Slips right through the piano cracks and is erased off my manuscript
But I guess this is it,
This solo will always vamp your in key, which will always sound perfect to me
Because this was our song

Why Don't You Love Me?
So I've been thinking about it, and while I was happy past found me the other day...I've come to notice that past only wants me as much as past talks...which doesn't seem to be very much. So it leaves me to think...past do you really need me like you said you did and do? Do you really want me like you said you did and do? Do you really want a present and future with me like you say you do? I don't know about you past...Not to sound conceited or anything but if you really wanted me that much, why don't you fight for it? Why must I question it out of you? The only thing you have over present is a history with me...that's it.Ugh I told myself I wasn't going to be here again...again like this...wanting you, waiting for you, bending at your will, putting myself out there while you just sit there relaxing. Past you told me that you took me for granted and yet that's all you seem to be doing...all over again. You commit yourself to everything else but the thought of me. This song sums it up perfectly
Why Don't You Love Me - Beyonce
Now, now, now, honey
You better sit down and look around
Cause you must've bumped yo' head
And I love you enough to talk some sense back into you, baby
I'd hate to see you come home, me the kids
And the dog is gone
Check my credentials...
I give you everything you want everything you need
Even your friends say I'm a good woman
All I need to know is why?
Why don't you love me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you love me
When I make me so damn easy to love?
And why don't you need me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you need me
When I make me so damn easy to need?
I got beauty, I got class
I got style, and I got @ss
And you don't even care to care
Looka here
I even put money in the bank account
Don't have to ask no one to help me out
You don't even notice that
Why don't you love me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you love me
When I make me so damn easy to love?
Why don't you need me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you need me
When I make me so damn easy to need?
I got beauty, I got heart
Keep my head in them books, I'm sharp
But you don't care to know I'm smart
Now, now now now now now now
I got moves in your bedroom
Keep you happy with the nasty things I do
But you don't seem to be in tune
Ooh.....
Why don't you love me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you love me
When I make me so damn easy to love?
Why don't you need me?
Tell me, baby, why don't you need me
When I make me so damn easy to need?
There's nothing not to love about me
No, no, there's nothing not to love about me
I'm lovely
There's nothing not to need about me
No, no, there's nothing not to need about me
Maybe you're just not the one
Or maybe you're just plain....... DUMB

Cause I Want U ( Maybe)
1st Bridge (Little Italy Blvd) = Echoed back, building in other places...may not get rebuilt
2nd bridge (Green St) - Echoed back, building in other places, can possibly be rebuilt
3rd bridge (Memorial Drive)Hasn't echoed back...still waiting
4th bridge (Commons Parkway) Echoed back before I even realized it echoed back, is being rebuilt, still pending walk-ability
So now I guess my question is...can these bridges really be rebuilt from scratch, glued together with pieces left in the rubble or am I just trying to yell across to the other side?
Now to the initial reason for my blogging
So the past sometimes has its funny way of finding you later down the road and making itself into the present. Sometimes it even has the intention of becoming the future. And the funny thing about the past is, you never ever forget it...you carry it everywhere with you, even when you think you've left it somewhere. At least that's what I think.
So with that said, past has come back to me and our meeting was a bit of a shock/surprise to both of us, but I'm glad that it turned out to be good and happy one. While talking to past, I've come to learn that past isn't living in the past anymore, but living in a present that isn't too much different from the past. As past and I converse...questions are answered, explanations are told and become clear, memories are reminisced, smiles smile, and laughs laugh. As past and I continue conversating, I remember why past and I were so good together and why to this day, I still love it. But things have changed since past last saw me, I've grown up a little bit...I'm just a little different now...but somethings about me haven't and that's what pulls past and I back...at least that's what I think. I'm not sure if past, which is now present will turn into future...but I like where it's at now.
Here's to bridges and to past because you found me
but most importantly, to you past....cause I Want U

Why Do U Gotta B Like That?


I just don't fucking understand you and why you do the things you do.Seriously, do you really think I'm telling you things because I want to be a bitch and piss you off? Because I'm not happy until I know I'm being a pain in your ass? Because I have nothing better to do? Well if that's what you think, THEN YOUR SOOOOOO FUCKING WRONG!
I tell you these things to avoid problems
Avoid aggravation
&
Avoid being upset
I don't know what it is with you. You seem to do what you want to do and not think of anyone else but yourself
And the funny thing is you're sooo use to relying on the excuse that you don't know any better or that you're stupid, that now you don't even do the right thing....barely any way
I just wish you would grown up and stop acting like a little kid
When the fact is you know you're not a little kid
You can do so much on your own but you're too lazy to do it
so you try to take shortcuts for everything
UGHHHHHHHHHH!
I can't speak for anyone but myself on this one but YOU ARE NOT STUPID
YOU JUST DO STUPID THINGS ALL THE TIME
AND THAT MAKES YOU LOOK STUPID
When will you realize we won't always be here to help you and get you out of trouble???
When will you realize that???
Hopefully its not too late...

Hopefully there's a bridge that leads me back to you :)

I Just Don't Know About U Sumtimes
Confused Bellaco (Him): Didn't care too much for it [today]. Gettin a lil tired of my job. trying to find another one during the day. plus, im still sore...would like a massage
Me: I got u
Confused Bellaco: Will it be a Korean massage? lol
Me: Korean?
Confused Bellaco: Korean, Asian, oriental...massage with a happy ending. Get it? lol
Me: :/ oh that. No. it's funny you bring that up cuz after my undergrad I want to become a licensed massage therapist and then go get a degree in physical therapy or sports med to compliment my license. But ever since I told my mom I wanted to do that, she always told me that its not the massage they come in for, it's the happy ending they want. Quite frankly, if I wanted to be a hoe, I wouldn't have graduated high school and pursing a degree in high education. so yea no happy ending with me. Hate to burst your bubble
Confused Bellaco: Wow. I was kidding
Me: I guess we have different senses of humor
DO YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?!
IDK.....
this is the closest I can get to how I'm feeling...Why U Gotta B So Estupid?

We All Got a Hillbilly Bone
Oh man, you've gotta watch where you're stepping around here
Yeah I got a friend in New York City
He's never heard of Connway Twitty
Don't know nothing about grits and greens
Never been south of Queens
But he flew down here on a business trip
I took him honky tonkin' and that was it
He took to it like a pig to mud, like a cow to cud
We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
No matter where you from you just can't hide it
And when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws
You can't help but hollering, Yee Haw!
When you see them pretty little country queens
Man you gotta admit that's in them genes
Ain't nothing wrong, just getting on your
hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone
Nah, you ain't gotta be born out in the sticks
With an F-150 and a 30-06,
Or have a bubba in the family tree
To get on down with me
All you need is an open mind
If it fires you up you gotta let it shine
When it feels so right that it cant be wrong
Come on, come on, come on
We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
No matter where you from you just can't hide
And when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws
You can't help but hollering, Yee Haw!
When you see them pretty little country queens
Man you gotta admit that's in them genes
Ain't nothing wrong, just getting on your
hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone
Come on y'all
We all got a hillbilly bone down deep inside
No matter where you from you just can't hide
And when the band starts banging and the fiddle saws
You can't help but hollering, Yee Haw!
When you see them pretty little country queens
Man you gotta admit that's in them genes
Ain't nothing wrong, just getting on your
hillbilly bone-ba-bone-ba-bone-bone
Hillbilly done ba-bone ba-bone bone
Hillbilly done ba-bone ba-bone bone
:) Funny isn't it? Some country songs that I like
Alcohol - Brad Praisley
Cowboy Casanova & Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood
Anthing But Mine - Kenny Chesney

Just Waiting
Thing # 1)
------> Music theory and my music theory teachers
lol haha just thinking about what I'm going to say makes me laugh. I don't know what it is about theory teachers (I've only had 3 so far), but they all have little stories to tell that some how relate to what the class is talking about....or not ( sometimes its a little joke). But idk theory must really make them happy because I've never seen any of my theory teachers in a bad mood.Yeah there's the occasional they get fustrated with the class because they(the class) didn't do their theory homework or in my case now lol didn't finish their analysis. But they are hardly...ALMOST NEVER in a bad mood...I guess that's why they are theory teachers huh? theory just puts them in a good mood. I must say though, I have fond memories of all 3 of them ( Castleberry or C bear, Sasha and Mandrell (whom I think has a very strong likeness to Jeff Foxworthy). At times I've gotten very fustrated with theory but they always seemed to know how to clear up that confusion. I hope when I get to their ages, I can have fun stories to tell too ( haha that includes Dr. Wilson Melton) hehe :D
Thing # 2
------> Summertime
Ahhh yes! the beautiful summertime...makes me think of a song I wrote. Once yoy read my lyrics, you'll understand why I want it soooo bad.
Summertime - J.N.
Nothin' like sittin on the porch
Summertime, temperatures start to scorch
Kids playing in the sprinkelers
Summertimes brings back memories that were
Relaxing in the shade
Sipping lemonade
Kids so lucky, no school today
So happy summer's here to stay
Nothin' like a needed vacation
Summertime, perfect for celebration
Ice cream melts down your hand
Summer time is for playing in the sand
Relaxing in the shade
Sipping Lemonade
Kids so lucky, no school today
So happy summer's here to stay
So what do you think? Almost makes u feel that sunburn don't it? lol
Thing # 3
------> Loud Ass Women
Hmmm...now if you're reading this, it's because you know me and if you know me then you know that I'm not one to really be quiet BUT! I DO KNOW WHEN IT'S OK TO BE LOUD AND WHEN I SHOULDN'T BE. With that said...I kinda wish these women in front of me would take it down a knotch or take their little "project tea party" elsewhere. While the computer lab doesn't say "shhhhh be quiet" you don't just walk in here on some "OH MY GOD! BLING BLING!" * who even says that anymore???????* (rolls my eyes) hmm oh well...what can you do?
Thing # 4
------> Writing
I don't get to write in my blog too much BUT if I have the time and I feel like writing...THEN I'M FREAKIN BLOGING! But why is it soooooo easy to blog, but when it comes to papers I'm like "ugh....really? why can't it be short response? I don't need to put this in a 5 page paper when I can easily say it in a paragraph...BADA BING-BADA BOOM! *As the Italians say :D*" If I ever became a teacher...blogging would be the new paper...what do you think? Sound easy enough?
Well that's pretty much it, its almost 6:40 and I should start gettin ready to go to the auditorium. Grass ( gracias) for reading!:)

Vampires and Such
So today in my English class, I spent idk a good hmm....10 mins talking to my friend about a book I’m currently reading ( Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter). I must say I’m very surprised with the book. I am really not into American history...its just not my thing, BUT this book ties the theme of vampires sooo well into American history that it makes you wonder....did this really happen ( it also makes me think that if American History was this interesting…I would have passed American History with Mr.Rasar with an A)? While I don't want to spoil the book or the movie for anyone, I DO SUGGEST U READ THE BOOK and SEE THE MOVIE! The book is freakin awesome!!!! But this isn’t the reason for my blog; the reason for my blog today is the realizations of similarities between cultures and to question are vampires really real? I thought about it…maybe vampires are real…or at least there is some truth to their existence. Think about it, in almost every culture there is this image of a human looking being that has fangs where the canine teeth would be in the human mouth. It is thought that this being feeds on animals and humans alike for blood, and it scares people. So my friend and I then started to talk about the inspiration for vampires. I brought up the chupacabra, which I think is an ugly looking dog-like creature that hunts animals as a means of food. I’ve never seen 1, but they say it hunts sheep and brutally kills the animal, with blood all over the place. So there’s one. My friend then brought up bats…I thought about it…that would have been a good inspiration for the idea of vampires and the comparison. Vampires are commonly associated with bats because due to
Fave Vampire Movies
