Yesterday I was out in St. Rose, La

We ended up at a real nice place that reminded me of the Back House on fresh Prince ..lol. But yeah. This was a gathering thrown by one of the bosses of my brother’s job. They were great people. The guy and his wife opened us up to everything. The place they lived in was nice, The Food was good. And Although I didn’t Swim , The Pool was nice.

His wife Laurie showed us Pics of her Daughter with her Adopted Son who plays for Texas A&M. That’s great stuff. I hope the guy makes it all the way to the big League.
I should have brought my Camera & my trunks.  Overall I had a good time. Grubbin’ It up, Yep!

St. Rose seems to be a happy go lucky place. I wouldn’t mind living out in that area.

On My Mind

When we become knowledgeable of New Information, Our environment changes. We eventually adapt to it mostly by force and not by choice. because sometimes when you choose to ignore the facts. You become blinded by your own state of mind.

In Light of the Number of Deaths Occurring of people I Knew. I just had to Go back and think about some things I've read regarding shifts in consciousness, which is why i thought of the above statement. That as well as situations regarding things which happen during tragic situations. 

I have a lot on my mind and happiness isn’t one of them right now. It’s more so about Accepting the Fact that These people who we once knew in life are no longer with us in physical form. 

To Those who have died that I’ve known. All I could say is Thanks for the Memories

I need to get some sleep in.

The Loss of a Good Friend

Today I found out that a good friend of mine and JFK Alumnus Reginald Koeller,of the Class of 80 has passed due to a Heart Attack.

I last talked to Reggie on the 22nd between 4:20pm and 5pm when he informed me that he was in the Hospital suffering with Blood clots in his lung. He found out because he had shortness of breath while sleeping.  Today I was informed via Facebook that He had passed away due to a heart attack. I Missed a call later that night from the Oshner  hospital but i missed it.  I Tried to call  the number  back just now  but of course it was an answering service.  ,,, Maybe it was Reggie calling. Or maybe it was Hospital staff  calling to inform me me of his passing. .I hate that i missed that call.

It’s crazy because when he called me, It was in a Playful manner.  He was like “Guess where I’ am”  so. i said ///I don’t know ..He said C’mon Josh I’m trying to make it fun .. I responded. In My Neighborhood?  .. Ne said No.. Then he explained to me what went on. 

Before getting off the phone I told him I was glad that he was taking care of the matter  and getting that done   He told me he’d get back with me so that I could check his inbox and possibly soon touch basis with him.

It’s shocking because I’ve talked to him once after a heart attack It saddens me and I have don’t really know what else to say other than I’ll miss talking to him. Great guy, I wish i would have been able to hang out with him though.

Unbelievable..  Reg, You’ll Be Missed!. 

A Few Things Before I head out

I’ll be attending a graduation today, 2 cousins are graduating. one of them I haven’t seen in years. Speaking of a graduation. I forgot to post a few pic’s in my blog of my brothers graduation.  I’ll post on after this entry (later on in the day)

I should be receiving the  XBox 360 Video Game to the Battleship Movie sometime today.

Another notable of the Disco Era Robin Gibb Died Sunday. only a few days after Donna Summer who also died due to complications of a cancer. There was also the death of Chuck Brown. It’s crazy how famous folks seem to die days apart. in 3’s nearly.

There was alot of Murders the last few weeks. One of those people was a Relative of Mine Technically, but not by direct lineage. I personally have only met the kid once. he was the older Kid of another cousin of mine.and with all the good things supposedly happening in their lives. His sister had a baby. his mom got married. and tragically he was killed.

I really hate to hear about murders of any kind no matter how I know or don't know the victims. it’s just terrible.  It makes me hate being here. I say that all the time but it’s true.

I’ll get back on after I return home. Later folks!..

Gotta Do It

Before i start this blog entry I must say Rest In Peace to both Chuck Brown The Godfather of Go-Go as well as Donna Summer, The Queen of Disco. I would have said that yesterday but i was doing alot of talking and thinking.

2 days ago my brother graduated high school. the day went by pretty okay despite minor aggravating disturbances via family. Otherwise i was glad to see My youngest Brother graduate High School. he and his friends who come here. one of my cousins also graduated from 35 this year too.. it was an okay event as well. Marc Morial spoke. Folks in the crowd were rude though. but other than that the ceremony was decent i was happy they made it through. What's crazy is that the valedictorian of the school is one of my brother's good friends. that's great man.

For the past day (since the graduation) we've been talking alot about being positively motivated. The Irony of that is. The very next morning (which was yesterday) I got a call from a a College information solicitor.  I didn't want to be rude and just hang up so i let this thing go though. .. Eventually i was peaking with a representative of a University in Georgia..

We talked about the basics of the school and Life situations, and he basically helped me realize that i'm the only one holding myself back and that the only way to make the moves are to make them NOW rather than holding off, which i knew already based off past experience. I even admited that it was a fear and comfort honestly. but at the same time I truthfully had no interest in the school due to the Actual campus being in Georgia. The guy explained to me that it didn't matter my issue was comfort.. 

The Advisory went on to gave few metaphoric issues which i clearly.understood.  At the end of the conversation it made me feel that I need to do this thing soon. no mater my current financial situation and everything. Just imagine I Recently upped my pay for the Money i owe to Texas Southern, So now i must make my moves quick to have recurring funds. I seriously need to DO SOMETHING NOW!!.

Some time later on yesterday I told josiah about how he as well as the few friends i keep in contact with on a normal basis are my motivators and i'm thankful  for them. because it without them I probably wouldn't have taken that step the First time.

Now With this graduation of my Youngest brother, I  Know I'm gonna be getting alot of backtalk from my oldest brother regarding what's going on. and why I should rush and do what HE wants me to do.  I know what i need to do i just haven't made the steps. and THEY don't  realize that when they're telling me what I should do, that It makes me Not want to do it... That's also how my youngest brother feels.

I'll get things straight for me in 2012 though WATCH ME SUCCEED!. 

I'll make a way.
