~ I'm Still ~


















So i was driving home the other day and i passed by Bramalea Road x The Gates of Bramalea and i hit a red light. I looked over to my left and saw a whole bunch of people that i used to kick it with in high school just walking to the mall i guess. They didn't see me but i saw them and i just had a moment for a second. I flash backed to when i was in highschool walking with that same group to go god know's where to do god knows what. I'm not knocking those guys in any way, i have mad love and respect for them, but i thought to myself why can't they get out the way i did? They all had such great potential to do whatever they really wanted in life but they stayed back to live The Other Life. Once again, i'm not knocking the way they live in any way, i just wish i saw my high school friends leave that scene and lifestyle and better themselves a little more. That's the problem with the area down here, there is this mindset that we come from somewhat of a bad area so we have to live that same way, i on the other hand left all that alone as soon as i graduated high school. For anyone that still thinks the people from Brampton and Brampton in general is soft, try coming down here on a weekend at night and see what's up. I'm really glad i grew out of that phase before it was too late; if i was to have the same mentality i had in grade 10 and apply that to how things are now around this area, i would've probably been in alot more trouble. I really don't know where this post is going, i had so many more idea's and thoughts that i wanted to initially add to this, but i'm literally falling asleep typing this.

I just thought I'd share what was on my mind that day. Oh and another thing just hit me, it's almost MAY! I swear 2009 just started a few days ago and now first quarter is already done and over with, i have to start my Christmas shopping soon! Alright I'm going to try and get some sleep, i hate waking up in the middle of the night, it causes me to jump and my computer and blog thus leading to me staying awake longer haha. Good Night.

  3. Oh man, i'm never going to live that fight down. You guys do know that we continued to fight right behind the pizza pizza plaza right? Bc as soon as the cops came everyone ran to one area and the cops didn't know who to chase, then we all met up and fought again. And it wasn't an 8 on 8, it was more like a 8 on 4 ! we were so outnumbered man.

    But hey if were going to talk highschool moments can we talk about more positive one's instead of the fighting? Like how i was the only guy to get a standing ovation ! hahaha or how i managed to have second, third, fourth and fifth spare in grade 12? LOL

    And i didnt use that girl, she was basically forcing me to hang out if she helped me with math, i was like wtf. Nothing happened with kristine? i have no idea who made that shit up, but i never even chilled with that girl.
