PRIDEful.

As I stood on the side walk as the parade passed on. I took a moment to gaze upon each new face that surrounded me. Took each moment, breathtakingly. A smile on each face--drunk or what not. but still, a smile on each face. A warm feeling each presence gave as everyone came together for one occasion. A prideful event to share with each different individual. Happily standing there I saw two parents, from PFLAG. What an amazing parents. But the thing that really caught my eye was that they were two ASIAN parents. I mean, how rare do you see that, a stereotype of asians are that they are usually conservative and down to the nitty gritty with morals. They were proud parents of their child. A smile on their face showing everybody in the crowd that they were proud of their son or daughter even if they were gay or lesbian. 

As the parades went on Cornelius and I walked among crowds with a nod a cheerful smile. As the parade came to a conclusion we walked with everyone to one place. The gates to LB PRIDE `09. 

Music was flaring, shirts were off, alcohol was being drank. But still, an environment where everybody had a smile on their face. It was addiciting to catch each smile. Young, old, fat, skinny, muscular, black, white, asian, latino. Everyone was engaging in the act. Not a frown was seen. 

A few familiar faces were seen. A smile and hug was traded. But all in all. It was an amazing day. As the hours flew by, dancing took most of our time. The cutest part was when Cornelius and I went to the COUNTRY booth, were they were line dancing. It was so cute, almost like a choreography out of a movie. People weren't afraid to dance with strangers. 

It grew tiring as the time passed. Tired and worn out from all the dancing, walking, and might I say Drinking, we went to the House music once again. The rythm and the boom of the music just pumped every single body there with plethora of adrenaline. As my feet could not take any more we left. By the time we got home. I was DONE. a successful evening with my best friend and an amazing group of people. It's a shame to wait one more year for another event in LB. But hey, there's always LA and SD. :)

of course with smile. :)

SILENCE

Dealing with silence is quite a tough job. Can you just imagine where there is no noise. Imagine how long would it take to get an hour worth of silence in recording time. I just watched a Rob Bell video about noise. It goes to show you that silence is golden. For instance, he used the story of Elijah a man who's already beat down and tired, and God says to him, come to the mountains because, I will be there. So, Elijah goes up to the mountains and a huge gush of wind blows, and then earthquake happens, and then the mountain catches on fire. But, GOD isn't in those things. then lastly, a voice speaks to him and it was GOD.

 

We take for granted the littlest things imagine just silence in the world. No planes, honks, screaming people. Just peace and silence. and if GOD wasn't in the wind, the earthquake, and the fire. HE was just in the silence.

why is silence so hard to deal with?

BREAK THE SILENCE.

with a smile of course. :)

THE KEY

A wise man once said, 

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."

That's definitely true, as the nights pass on-- doing shows, dancing, working, and going to school (thank god I'm not putting maintaining a good relationship on that.) I look back and think, was this all just for me? Why did I decide to do these things? For my future, Nope. It's all for other people. Well, a huge percentage is.

Take doing shows, yes, dance captain is great, but who truly benefits from this? Not I. I go to rehearsals knowing the distance it takes to get to the studio, time it takes to teach a dance number and effort it takes to put things aside when shows come and go. I get nothing in return, a great big whoping "thanks, good job."

All these things are all mainly to please another person. School for my folks. I can't even choose my own major. Is my life truly carved for me to already walk? I'm just walking and following the maps my folks have drawn out for me. 

Take time to do this to please yourself. Love yourself. Think, is this making me happy or just other people. Yeah the limelight is great, but are you Happy? Think about it. A person can not possibly please every person in spite of their own happiness. People will take you for granted. Don't be afraid to say, "NO."

Make yourself Happy. Find self-satisfaction. Its easier to succeed in pleasing oneself, than an audience. Do your best, if it doesn't well? SCREW THE OTHER PERSON! At least you have your dignity. :)

Put a smile on. It'll be worth it . :)

I AM.

I AM JUST FED UP.....
