The 411: 11/17/09

Before I even say anything, let me apologize! I’m so sorry about the lack of posts, its been almost 2 weeks if I remember correctly? Things have been so hectic, and it’s not that I haven’t been on the site, it’s that I just haven’t had the time, energy, or want to simply sit still and blog. And even as I sit here, I have a horrible headache, and don’t even feel like continuing this, but I will, because I have followers and I can’t let you guys down…But of course, my laptop decides it wants to be slow today, what in the world is going on?

Anywho, I’ve been good. Just busy with school and whatnot. I’ve been preparing for track and field which will take place in the Spring. I’m excited because we’ll be getting a new coach, and that’s always nice to get a new face, and see what different things they have to bring to the team; I’m excited for this new season, it's going to be a good one!

Ah, I never told you how my birthday weekend went, did I? My Bad, ha! But my birthday weekend was amazing, I have all the pictures, laughs, and memories; especially when the microwave caught on fire (long story)! If I could, I’d redo that weekend over and over and over…if only I had the chance! Those girls have my heart. I know we’re gonna be bestfriends forever. I mean, I know I’ve said that about a lot of people, but they defiantly will be in my life forever. However, I have been let down numerous times, but it’s all a learning process.

I’m learning to accept the fact that not everyone is meant to be in your life for long. That you need to be hurt, and abandoned so that you learn to stand firmly on your own two feet. Life is about learning. You needed to learn how to walk, learn how to talk, learn how to make friends, learn how to learn. Life is a process, a process we are forever perfecting, and critiquing.

Hm, I also heard some interesting news yesterday. I was actually shocked when I heard this, I didn’t see it coming you could say…because they seemed so happy to me; when I saw them in the halls, and at the pep rally. But I guess that wasn’t the case, Eric and Navea (I’m sure you remember from previous blog entries) broke up this past weekend at Navea’s sweet 16 party. My source said Eric broke up with her during her party, which I find COLD! But knowing him, it had to be for a GOOD reason. Because I know he can be mean at times (but we all can be), but I know for a fact he wouldn’t embarrass her like that purposely. Even though I personally don’t like Navea, I felt bad for her, it’s like a natural instinct for girls to feel bad for other girls went a guy breaks up with them…because we know how it feels. And no matter how tough the girl tries to act after the fact, it doesn’t soothe the sting any less. But hey, maybe that was her karma. Normally I don’t believe in karma, but I strongly feel like that’s what it was. What goes around, comes around honey. But, honestly I hope things between you two don’t go completely sour, you both aren’t bad people, so I hope things work out!

Moving on though, there’s this new kid in school! Named Dexter, but he goes by Orlando...Anyway, he’s been smiling at me all the time during choir, and we talk a lot between classes when we see each, like he’ll come to my locker and than walk me to lunch, and DOUBLE BACK to where his class is…so he’s going out of the way to walk me, which is SWEET. I’m still confused on whether or not he’s just being friendly or if he likes me. My friends are convinced he’s into me, but I’M not convinced yet. Simply because he’s really friendly with the other girls in our gym/choir period. So, we’ll see. Eli and I no longer “talk” (like in a way, that we would get together). He wasn’t looking for a girlfriend, just someone to mess around with, yet he would still treat me like his girl? (yeah, I’m confused too, isn’t that just like the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing?) Either way, I wasn’t trying to have that, so I had to let that go…

Other than ALL of that, nothing has really been going on. Just school, school, and more school. I hope things with all of you are going well, comment and keep me posted on your lives, and I promise to do better blogging!

Keep smiling,

Nik.

16th BIRTHDAY WEEKEND (PART 1) COUNTDOWN !

The middle lags a tad, but other than that, this is a good video...I lied, it lags the whole time now?

Yet, when I watch it (not on blogger) it only lags a tad in the middle, I don't know what's going on, sorrrry .

The 411: 11/04/09

I’m back! I’m so sorry everyone; it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged, I know this. I’ve just been really busy, with school & planning for my 16th birthday! Yes, I’m turning the big 1-6 Sunday! I’m doing it big, throwing a sleepover at a Marriott hotel with my bestfriends, and than kickin’ it with my other friends that Saturday night. Sunday I’m gonna spend with my family of course, but I’m super excited. We’ve been doing nothing but running around all week, getting things ready for Friday night and with school/homework and “Spirit Week” going on, for the big game against our rival school Saturday afternoon, I haven’t had time to just sit down and blog; it’s a mess I know.

Other than being super busy, not much else is going on. I’m thinking about writing a book. I truly want to, I just have to find the time to sit down and focus my thoughts. And honestly when I think about how much work it’ll be, it threatens to scares me out of even trying to write one, but it’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and I have the talent, I just need to figure out the plot, characters, and all that jazz. Maybe it’ll be a memoir? Or a mystery? But more than likely it’ll be something completely different, and all my own! I’ll keep you guys posted on my progress on that, lol. I’m actually feeling like I’m getting something…like the opening page or something! It’s like this funny feeling I get in my head, when a poem or something is about to fly out. It’s weird, but it’s a sign, that if I keep typing, something deep and inspiring is about to stream out!

I’m also trying to upload a video to see if it’ll work; we’ll see what happens; cross your fingers for me guys! And I’ll try my best to check in Friday afternoon, (before my party), if not, (which is highly unlikely), I’ll do my best to catch you all up on the events that transpire on my birthday weekend sometime that weekend/week!

Smile for me,

Nik.

1st BE Video!

IT WORKED, YAY!

I'll be doing this more often than, and in the upcoming ones, I'll do a better job with lighting and all that, haha.

I'm not sure why it's lagging a bit, but hopefully next time it won't do that, :)

QOTD ! (Quote of the Day)

“Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak; sometimes it means that you are strong enough to let go.”

I'll put my input on this on later, ha!

The 411: 10/26/09

Hola chicos y chicas. Sorry, I’ve been distant. Somethings have been going on, and for some reason, when things begin to overtake me I tend to avoid my blog? Which is weird, I used to run to my blog in my time of need, now I feel like it’s a burden to be carried. I’m not sure, it’s just very difficult to explain. However, I know one thing, I won’t be shutting my blog down, that’s a no-no, lol! I love it too much, to get rid of it, I just have to get over this dumb little thing I have, is all.

Anyways, I’ve been alright. Actually, I’ve been very overwhelmed, a lot has been going on. I can’t really explain, but people know how to work my nerves, and push my buttons…but hey, two can play that game. School is good, I’m making the grades like always, it just takes a lot out of me. I put so much pressure on myself, (more pressure than anyone does), and I end up overworking/stressing myself out; which almost always ends in not only disappointment but accomplishment; it’s a bittersweet; love/hate thing.

On a happier note however, my birthday is in a couple weeks! November 8th to be exact! Since it’s going to be my 16th birthday (and it falls on a Sunday), my parents are letting me celebrate that whole weekend! So that Friday I’m going to have my bestfriends sleepover at a hotel with me, than that Saturday is our big football against our rival school; after the game we’re going to the movies, and out to eat (my friends & I), than my actual birthday (Sunday), I’ll spend with my family. I’m really excited, it’s the one thing I’m actually looking forward to!

Oh, and boys…I love you and all, but is it possible you could stop playing us girls? I shouldn’t say all guys are like this, (because without you “good guys”, where would we be?!) However, do you think you “good guys” could take care of the “bad guys” for us girls? & “good guys” I just wanna give you a pat on the back, don’t think you’re goodness and kindness is going unnoticed! I know you’re out there, and I thank you for treating girls right! I know you guys don’t like being played either, so we’re all together on this one…be true, and DON’T PLAY ONE ANOTHER!

Let’s leave this on a high note; tomorrow is going to be a good day, regardless of what I get on my Chemistry test; I did my best, and that’s all that counts. Hopefully my grade doesn’t drop too low, NO C’s!

Goodnight,

Nik.

The 411: 10/15/09

Hey there! I’m blogging two days in a row, what up, lol! Anyway, it snowed today! Yes people, it snowed in October! Of course, I was sleeping during this portion of the day, since I had a half a day, and didn’t have to be awake throughout the whole day, lol. I always miss the exciting stuff though, which sucks.

 

Moving on though, I got a slap in the face today (not literally, mind you!) One of my friends decided to try and accuse me of treated her like shit crap. So, of course being me, I just apologized like she wanted me to and just did what was expected of me. Why, I always end up doing this, I’m not sure? My former friend was right when he said I was “too forgiving”. Because I defiantly do not treat her the way she made it seem. I feel like she was just getting a tad bit jealous, or it’s more likely that it’s because we’re together 24/7, it’s only normal that we would get on each other’s nerves, but come on now honey, you need to calm down. Everything is “fine” between us now…but I NEVER forget what goes down. I’ve squashed the drama, but the memory is forever etched into my noggin, so choose carefully what you want me to remember dears!

 

I’m leaving school early again tomorrow, since it’s my parent’s anniversary weekend we’re going to see a play a couple hours away; which means I get to leave school around 11:30! I’m super excited, this portion of my week could have been better, but I have a feeling this weekend will make up for that! PSATS early Saturday morning, than either Dorney (if the weather permits), or movies instead with my babes! However, I have to get some stuff ready for tomorrow, I bid you all farewell…for tonight anyways, lol.

Looking forward to tomorrow,

Nik.

The 411: 10/14/09

I stand here and I wonder why it’s so hard for me to conform to the crowd. Even though people always say we’re all different, it seems like their all so alike. Yet, here I am; standing outside, while I’m still inside the room. Why am I the only “different” one among them?

Not sure where I’m going with that one (^^), I was just sorta feeling out of place with this group of kids I was with after school. Not the normal crowd I’m usually with…however, I can blend in well within different crowds, which is why my group of friends is so diverse. I just couldn’t understand why I felt so out of place with this particular group of friends?

I don’t know, it seemed like I was having a good day until my Dad ruined things, and my sister didn’t make things any better either. It just blows my mind how people hold so much power. We possess the power to make or break some people, and we as a people need to understand and control this power; because I feel like we’re beinning to abuse this precious gift...or is it a curse?

 

On a happier note, lol…Eli! So, we talked for the longest time yesterday! I got to know him very well last night, plus I loved how forward and funny he was. It’s apparent that something’s there, so we’ll (My girls, his boys) be going to Dorney, Saturday night for the Haunt Night, which is going to be so much fun! Eli and I made this “deal” so I’m super excited to hold up my end of the bargin, plus when I go this time I’ll have someone to “protect me”. <3

 

I’m finished, ranting lol. I love you all, and hopefully your day has gone better than mine! Oh, I’m beinging to feel sick, and a ton of kids in my school/area are out with “flu like syptoms” it’s a mess! However, we have a half day tomorrow, and I’m leaving early Friday…so things can only get better from here, right?

Tomorrow can’t come fast enough,

Nik.

Shawtys like a melody…

Hey there! So, I’m currently sitting here listening to my favorite song (at the moment, lol): “Replay” by: Sean Kingston. I LOVE this song with my everything, it’s been “replaying” on my iPod since this morning, haha! It defiantly describes my current love life as well; ELI <3. I love you honey. You’re such a sweetheart! We’re not together yet, but we’re talking daily, which always keeps a smile on my face, and has me laughing non-stop. I enjoy being with him, so he’s defiantly “…like a melody in my head, that I can’t keep out!”

Other than that, not much is up. I’m spending the weekend with my father, ha! And so far it hasn’t been too bad, so no complains; (KNOCK ON WOOD; don’t wanna jinx anything!) I’m either going to the movies with ‘THE CREW’, or Halloweekends at Dorney with my cousins tonight; either one sounds good to me!

I’m off though, my dad is taking my sister and I out for the day, I’ll check in later! Enjoy your Saturday everyone!

Replaying, ‘Replay’,

Nik.

"…Houston, we have a problem!”

…So I’m experiencing some technical difficulties with my “Homecoming ‘09<3” post (posted below me). I’m trying to fix it, but at this moment I don’t have enough time to just sit here and play around with it. But I didn’t want to break my promise; even if it’s only half complete. I PROMISE to fix things, and upload the pictures that didn’t cooperate & fix the text that didn’t show up. Enjoy what I have for now, I’m super sorry.

Apologizing,

Nik.

Homecoming ‘09<3

  

Here are the pictures from Homecoming that I could retrieve. I know it’s a bit late, but a promise is a promise…Enjoy!

094 097098

 It’s possible you can’t tell from the pictures, but that was one of the best (most fun) nights, I’ve had in a long time. I couldn’t get any during Homecoming, simply because I was too busy getting my groove on! These pictures were taken right before we left for the dance, btw. The ladies featured in these pictures are some of my dearest, and closest best friends; (from left to right in the top picture on the right-hand side): Lusia, Valeria, (me), Tiffany.

Now that I know how to upload pictures to my laptop from my camera, I will be sure to upload more pictures documenting my life! Maybe it’ll add that extra “umf” to my blog, lol. I’ll have to catch you all later though, my stomach is alerting me that it’s time I go find something to eat!

Hungry,

Nik.

More To Come...!

I promise to write more later, because I keep getting distracted. However, I wanted to get a few things down right now while I’m thinking about them. Homecoming has finally come to an end, boo hoo. It was the most fun I’ve had in a long time! Friday when everything started; which included the pep rally, & the Homecoming game where we crushed the other team 34-14, and set a new record for the most rushing yards in a game! Than Saturday came with running around getting my nails done, and taking pictures with friends and family before the big night! It was so fun, dancing with the guys and my girls! I promise to upload some pictures later on, however as of right now, I don’t have my camera in my possession, lol! So, when I get it back, you will be the first to see all the good stuff. However, I’m off for right now, catch you on the flip side, lol!

Busy,

Nik.

ARGH.

Hey there, sorry I’ve been distant. Not really sure why I’ve been distant, actually. I haven’t been too busy now that I think about it. However, I have had homework and what not. I’m currently sitting here, frustrated beyond comprehension. I’m trying to try something new, and really this new thing is going to be very important in the upcoming years, I just can’t seem to get it to work. And this is the 5th or 6th time of me trying this, and I just can’t seem to get it! It’s quite annoying, let me tell you. Plus I’m sitting here waiting for my mom to braid my hair. I start swimming tomorrow and don’t feel like having to deal with doing my hair after it’s all wet, and all that. However, judging by the time (9:08pm) doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. I’m going to end up going to bed frustrated people, ha. Plus, it feels like I’m getting cramps…just great, could tonight get any worse? Nope…don’t think so.

ARGH,

Nik.

Last Night <3!

Hey guys! *Just putting this out there, that this post maybe a quick/short one. Simply because I should be getting dressed, folding clothes, or vacuuming. I’m sure my mom will be reminding me of this sooner or later, ha! Anywho, for the time begin…I’m currently sniffing and sneezing, while sitting in my favorite spot in the house; the mini couch. This is where I frequently blog, fyi. So, last night was by far the highlight of my week! My bestfrand’s birthday was Wednesday, so a couple of my other friends and I took her out to eat at Red Robin’s! While we were eating, a lovely young man from our local performing arts school talked/sang to us, he also smelled like my favorite scent: Abercrombie & Fitch cologne; can’t get any better than that, lol! After dinner we than proceeded to see Fame, which was the BEST movie I’ve seen in awhile. I’m telling you guys, we wanted to break out and dance right there in the theater! Now that I think about it, I think some people actually did, lol! After the movie we went across the street to Maggie Moo’s, that sells the BEST darn ice cream. Their giving Cold Stone a run for their money, at least in my opinion. I got the Ice Cream Coffee Smoothie; AMAZING. However, it was FREEZING out; so cold ice cream + cold weather = sick Nicole, lol. So, Olivia, Sierra, and I decided that to keep warm we’d jerk. Lemme tell you, our jerking was on point (the dance, mind you!) Anyone else like the song “Your a Jerk” by: New Boyz? Anyways, I really enjoyed myself last night. Being around friends, and just having fun and laughing was great. It was a great way to end my long week of school. However, I’m afraid I have to go. My mom finally realized that I haven’t finished my chores…told you, haha!

Wishing you a happy Saturday,

Nik.

I’m Ready to Lose it.

I feel like I could just lose it right now. Not particularly breaking down, (however, that is included, lol). But just lose everything; my sanity, my morals, everything that means anything to everyone and their expectations on me. I just want to lose all of that. I want to become a different person. I’m not who they want me to be. I was actually thinking about this on the bus after school today. You know how you just sudden realize something? Well that’s basically what happened to me; I suddenly came to the realization that I’m never going to be able to live up the standards everyone has placed on me. Sorry, for the venting session, just had to get something's off my mind.

 

I’m challenging all of you to think about this; Are you living the life you want to live? Are you striving for your goals, or someone else’s? Fulfill what you want to do, don’t ever allow someone to steal your dreams. If you want something you have to go after it. And you can’t expect everyone to be on board with you, sometimes reaching your goal means leaving some people behind. So decide who you’re living for; yourself, or someone else.

Distracted,

Nik.

The 411: 9/24/09

So, I’m sitting here listening to my father talk, and maybe it’s just me but I feel belittled? I just feel like the way he talks to me is making me feel incompetent? Now, we’ve NEVER had a good relationship. I mean there are plenty of times where we get along, but those aren’t frequent. I just can’t connect with him like I can connect with the rest of my family. Probably because he isn’t the same with me when he’s around the rest of my family. Like he’ll hold a conversation with one of my cousins, but when I’m trying to talk to him, he has no interest. Which is probably why I don’t take what he says serious. All these promises and things he wants to do, I just let go in one ear and out the other. Doesn’t matter to me either way, because they’ll probably never come to the light. I’m just ready for college, I’m ready for a new outlook on life. I’m so desperately longing to live the life I’ve always wanted to. Where is the fast forward button on life when you need it?

It’s been a long week, thank the Lord tomorrow is Friday! I’ll be spending my Friday night with my girls. We’re taking Adrienne out for her birthday. Saturday is some concert their going to, but I won’t be attending that. Basically that’s it, I should be studying for my “Elements Quiz” tomorrow for Chemistry, don’t really feel like it though. (I mean who ever feels like studying?!) And wouldn’t you know it, my Chemistry teacher feels I should be placed back in Honors Chemistry! He says the way I’m working, and the grades I’m getting show I need to be “challenged”. Guess switching was a waste; either way he’s going to be “evaluating” me, and than he’ll make his decision later on. Oh, and I have an appointment with my neurologist Monday, hopefully everything goes well.

<---This picture made me smile! I was searching for a picture to add to my blog, and came across this one. I’m not sure why, but when I saw this I couldn’t help but smile. Hope it has the same effect on you!

However, I’ll have to catch you all on the flip side, lol! And remember to smile because things are never really as bad as they seem!

Optimistic,

Nik.

Why Do You Hate Me So?

So, I’m sitting here trying to figure out why the world is so cold. Why the world is so ruthless? Why the world can careless about your feelings, or what you’re going through; the world only cares about itself. As long as the world is fine, than nothing else matters. The world is one of the most selfish things I’ve ever known. However, I can’t say that the world and I never got along. The world and I were best buddies. I had his back, but it seems he wasn’t willing to return that favor. The world was my right-hand companion, we were like two peas in a pod. Now the world and I are like my pinky and thumb, like swimming in the winter. It just blows my mind, how the world will chew and spit you out. How, it’ll trip you up, and not even glance back to see how badly you’re bruised up. It’s funny because no one else is quite like the world! The world doesn’t need to say anything for you to realize that you’re not wanted. The world doesn’t need to stare you down, for you to realize that he hates you. The world doesn’t need to talk bad behind your back, for you to realize he could careless about what you hear him say. The world doesn’t need to do anything out of the ordinary to break you. And yet, we still find ourselves running back to it over, and over, and over again. The world is defiantly one of kind. 

*Below you’ll see a poem I wrote way back when. It’s funny, I took the world back, knowing how horrible he was, knowing how badly I would be hurt again from him, and what happened? Fell right back on my butt, where I should have stayed. Oh how quickly things can change! And before you realize it, you’re right back at square one; right where you started.

 

The world needed me, and I needed it.
Scratch that.
I needed it, but it didn't need me.
Ever hear the saying "The world stops for no one?"
I've learned that first hand, as I'm sure many of you will or have learned.
The world is a cold place.
Ready to hear all your secrets, than spill them for everyone to know.
Ready to praise you when you've done right, than turn it's back when you've screwed up.
But play your cards right, and you might make it out alive.
Always remember this:
The world doesn't need me.
And it doesn't need you.
But we need it.
Funny how life works out isn't it?
-NDM-

Waiting on the world to change,

Can I Grow Up…Please?

You know what I find funny? How much parents aren’t willing to allow us to grow up. I mean, I know they have our best interests in mind, and that they only want the best for us. But sometimes they smother us…at least mine do. I’m knocking on 16, and I’m still finding myself having to hide my relationships, and act like I’m this innocent little school girl who’s never had a boyfriend or a first kiss. Newsflash, I’m no longer 10. I know boys do not have cooties, and that kissing is not nasty. However, I find myself having to hide this. My parents find it hard to accept that I actually have guy friends. How do you think they’re going to accept me having a boyfriend? It just frustrated me a little. Seeing how my dad almost lost his temper when a boy came by to PICK UP A HOMEWORK ASSIGMENT from my younger sister, crazy right? What would happen if I brought home my boyfriend? He’d be dead, lol. So, mom and dad, CHILL OUT. We have to grow up sometime! I mean, when I have to sneak around, it doesn’t make me feel good; I know that I’m going behind their backs, but it’s the only thing I can do at this present time. It’s almost like they don’t trust me enough to make the right choices in a relationship. Little do they know, I’ve had a good share of relationships, and dealt with more than I’ve wanted. It’s a shame, I probably won’t be able to tell them that for awhile. My mom feels I shouldn’t date until I’m a junior, I don’t think I can wait that long…Come to think of it I haven’t waited that long. I had my first boyfriend in 4th grade, ha! I just wish I could introduce them to my future boyfriends, because I’m sick of sneaking around. It’s annoying and no fun. And they wonder why our communication is lacking? That’s why…because you guys aren’t open-minded! Open your eyes and realize, I’m not a little girl anymore. I don’t need your permission to grow up, and become who I’m longing to be. I’ll do this with or without you guys, but of course I want you on board with me! I love you both, but don’t smother me.

 

Anybody else’s parents smothering them? Or you guys just can’t seem to communicate well? Speak up, tell them about it, and then share your story with me. I’ll all ears!

Trying to spread my wings,

Nik.

BORING.

“I’m a puzzle, yes indeed; and all the pieces aren’t even in the box…and yet, you see the picture clear as day.” Anyone want to take a wild guess as to who sings those lyrics? (Post in a comment if you know, NO CHEATING!) Anywho, hello all, lol! I thought I’d shake things up a little tonight, it’s around 11:08…hey that’s my birthday, ha! Not much to talk about. But than I say that and than end up blogging a million words, ha. This time though, I really don’t have much to say. I guess I can say that I’m currently wearing a brace on my right hand, which is making typing 10x harder. I have to wear this thing for a good while due to the carpal tunnel in my hand. Other than that, I really don’t know what else there is to say…Sorry to bore you guys, this post was basically useless? I’m lacking inspiration for this post, I sorta feel like I’m overwhelmed? However there really isn’t anything to be overwhelmed with? It’s just this weird pressing feeling I have…like I feel like I should be doing something, or like I’m anxious for something to happen. Yet again, sorry for the boring post, just thought I’d try and start typing and things would flow from there, but it didn’t work out that way this time. I’ll try again tomorrow…

Saying goodnight,

Nik.

Let’s be Study Buddies.

Hey there! So, quick question…everyone is back in school by now correct? Well is it just me or is school crazy! I have spent the last two nights (Tuesday and Wednesday) studying like nobody’s business. I literally cannot fit anything else into my brain, for fear of it exploding all the information I’ve stuffed into it. Tomorrow I have all of three tests, Spanish, Chemistry, and lastly Honors US History…In that order, lol! I should have taken my history test today, but my lovely ramble, scatter-brained teacher decided to push it to tomorrow for unknown reasons? So, that caused me to have to work reviewing into my already packed study schedule. However, I guess it was a blessing in disguise! I need strength for sure, and forgiveness. It blows my mind how forgiving GOD is! I mean, even I’m not that forgiving, and trust me, I’m pretty darn forgiving. (Or so I was told from a former friend of mine). I’m just glad he’s able to look past everything if we only ask! Moving along though, I have a new follower! That brings us to six followers, YAY! I’m getting there, my goal right now is to reach ten followers before Christmas! It’s funny though all the blogs I’ve read & (some) that I’m currently following seem to be about fashion, art, music, and things of that nature. I’m defiantly not knocking it, because I absolutely love reading about the latest fashions and music. It just seems like my blog is out of place? So it means a lot to me that people find my blog different and interesting! I appreciate everything guys, the comments, the encouragement, everything! I love you all. 

I’ll check in tomorrow, if time permits!

Exhausted,

Nik.

Gaze into the Future…

I’ve returned! Let me apologize now, for the post underneath this post I’m currently writing. I wrote that to, two boys, however, I didn’t mean to take up my blog space with that. I might delete it later, but knowing me…probably won’t. That night was a disgrace, I wish things hadn’t happened that way. I really do, and now that I look back at it, and have had time to reflect upon it…what was the point of all that? What is the point of all this fighting between the three of us? Yeah, she’s dating my ex-boyfriend, but so what, lol! That shouldn’t mean we can’t be friends! Maybe it’d be a little awkward, but it’s better than nothing. It’s probably WAY too late for us to become friends, but we should be able to stand being in the same school with one another. That conversation from Saturday got me thinking…It just sparked my interest about everything, is all. I’m really just completely finished with the whole situation, and it’s taken until now for me to really realize that I am at peace with all that happened, and what is still going to happen between us.

Moving on though…today has been a good day. Not much to really report. Ryan and I swapped numbers, YAY! I haven’t texted him yet, that’s in the making. Danta, and I broke up yesterday, it was a mutual thing. However, he doesn’t seem to understand that and seems to be trying to convince me to give him another chance. I’m pretty much finished with long distance relationships though. They never workout in my favor. I just don’t think I’ve been in a strong enough relationship that can withstand the strain of not seeing each other, or talking everyday. Other than all that, nothing else is up. I’m just relaxing, enjoying my homework(less) evening. But I wanted to let you know how things were going, and to apologize for the letter to the young men. I’m really enjoying this font btw, I’ve defiantly fallen in love with it, I think I’ve found the font for the rest of my blogs, YAY! Throw a smile on your face for me guys, cause I’m realizing that things aren’t always going to go the way you expect them to, or want them for that matter. You just have to take life as it comes, and enjoy what you can. Life is what you make it, if you don’t do anything with your life-if you don’t go out for that team, or sing in that play, or talk to that guy/girl-when are you planning to? Just live life to it’s fullest, not tomorrow, not next week, TODAY. I’ve also realized that I defiantly want to become a psychiatrist, a pediatric neuropsychiatric to be exact; which is someone who studies organic causes for mental symptomology and disorders in children. If that doesn’t work though, I’ll just be a plain ol’ child psychiatrist. Anyway…I feel like that’s my calling; to do unto others, that which wasn’t done for me. I want to save a little girl’s life, or place a little boy on the right path. I want to make a difference in someone’s life, even if that means devoting my life and time to do so. That’s my plan, just have to stay on the right path, to get my dreams! Boy, am I excited for what the future and GOD have in store for me!

Pondering the future,

Nik.

This One’s For You Sweetheart!

Hello boys and girls. Since I seem to have some readers who are young and immature, I’ll be addressing you all this way tonight. Oh and did I mention they were a bit arrogant? So, my previous entry talked about having a feeling tonight was going to be a good night...However, I was wrong, very, very wrong. I can’t say the whole night was a flop, because it surely wasn’t. The movie was very good, along with the company in which I saw it with. However, things went south when I got a certain phone call, from a certain person. I won’t say any names, since I know you both will probably read this once you leave the Hess gas station from which I received your lovely call. (That’s right, I happened to be riding past there, and saw your lovely faces!) Apparently, I’m accused of wanting to “break Navea`’s legs?” I really can’t believe what just happened. Really now boys, really? I mean, Eric your excuse was LAME. If you really didn’t want to start anything with me, you should of done more to stop your friend from calling. I know you didn’t really think I was just going to let you guys go off on me. I’ve been nothing but nice to you and Navea` during all this. Yeah, I talk about you on my blog, but it’s MY blog, this is where I come to vent and share what I’m feeling. IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT, THAN DON’T READ IT. Go ahead, no one is over there making you read anything. I’m not slandering you, or bashing you. I’m just saying what I feel. I guess you and your pal haven’t read any of my past entries uh? I don’t have to explain anything to either of you. Like I told you on the phone, I bare no ill will toward either of you, the day I wrote that I’d ROCK Navea` was the day I bumped into the both of you being all lovey dovey in the hallways. I was pissed off, so I blogged…SUE ME. Either way, if I was going to actually do something I would of done something a long time ago dear, believe that. At this point though, I’m just surprised from the phone call. I defiantly DO NOT need your friend calling me, so I’m asking in the nicest way possible: screw off leave me alone. And Eric, learn from this. Really I’m finished with you, I was finished with you the minute I heard you were going out with Navea`. It may not have seemed like it, but hey, I was hurt. And we both knew we weren’t going to come out from this relationship unscarred. Just drop it and move on, I’m over all this. You’ve got a girlfriend, focus on her. I’ve got a boyfriend, I’m focusing on him. And again, if you don’t like what I have to say in my blog, if you don’t want to hear about what I have to say…DO NOT READ MY BLOG…BECAUSE NEWSFLASH, THIS IS MY BLOG. I’LL WRITE WHAT THE HECK I WANT TO. SO TAKE YOUR “CUROSITY” SOMEWHERE ELSE, YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU NEED TO ASK, TOO BAD. This is going out to anyone that reads my blog, you don’t like something I write, or if I’m too “real” for you, let me apologize up front. Cause my blog is and always will be REAL and UNCUT. I’m going to say what I feel and if anyone doesn’t like that, you are more than welcome to click that X button at the top right hand corner of your screen, BE MY GUEST. I was actually thinking about changing my URL just to eliminate any way of you lovely boys reading it. But I’ve nothing to hide, which is why I set up this blog. So, either you read my blog and like it, or you STOP reading it. Cause me and my blog aren’t going anywhere. So stick that in your cup and SUCK ON IT.

Tense,

Nik.

I Gotta Feeling…

…that tonight’s gonna be a good night, that tonight’s gonna be a good good night! Ha, hey everyone. Just like my title and the first sentence of my blog states I got a feeling tonight’s gonna be a kick butt night! Why do you say that Nicole? Well, for one me and a bunch of friends are going out to the movies to see the new Tyler Perry movie “I Can Do Bad All By Myself”. I’m super excited, it’s always fun going out with all my friends. Especially since we’ve all grown up together, we get along well and can relate to each other. Gotta love the best friends! Plus I’m beginning to feel better, my cold doesn’t seem too bad anymore…just congested and a nagging headache, other than that I’m good! Just wanted to check in though, there isn’t really anything to report. Oh, I have this program on my laptop where I can edit my blog posts without having to “make” the posts on blogger.com first. I can write and edit my posts from the program, and than publish them to my blog. That way I change the font, and add cool stuff. So be on the lookout for a new style for my blog which should be coming soon (it’s in the making, I just have to play around with it)! However, that’s it…if anything arises you know you guys will be the first to know! I have to go get ready for the movies.

Heading out,

Nik.

September 11, 2001 </3

       

On September 11, 2001 two planes crashed into the Twin Towers. Along with another plane crashing into the Pentagon, and lastly one in Pennsylvania. I remember it like it was yesterday, sitting in class during 2nd grade, I’ll never forget it. However, I’d like to honor all those men and women who volunteered their time and effort to help those from the tragic events of 9/11. I’d also like to send my prayers of comfort to all the families who lost innocent loved ones from this terrible act of violence. This is an event that will stick with all of us forever, it’s forever etched in our memories, and history. We miss and love you guys, you left too soon; you’re gone but not forgotten.

I wanna make love not war, what are we fighting for? What am I trying for? My heart is dying, I’m crying, cause I wanna make love, not war; where is the love?

My thoughts are all jumbled!

I find myself procrastinating. I'm not sure why, but I can't really bring myself to just focus on one thing. I'm realizing that I have a problem paying attention to anything that severally bores, me.

What I really should be doing at this point in time is my parody for Honors US History, but since I couldn't focus, I decided, what better way is there to get my thoughts and emotions together...but to BLOG! So, here I am...I think I'm just gonna list the things on my mind, than decide what I can deal with or change now, and the other things I can just leave for another time...here goes nothing.

*Navea & Eric; Better left unsaid (just kidding) I'll deal with it now...I sorta feel like you're reading this Eric? Don't think I've forgotten that I gave you my URL when we had that momentary lasp of friendship. Part of me wants to know for sure whether or not you read this. In a way, I'm sorta hoping you do, but than again I'm hoping you don't. Either way it doesn't really matter, cause you'll read it whether I want you to or not, just like you always used to, lol! I have so many questions I want to ask you, which surprises even me, ha. However, I'm never going to ask them, because I don't want to speak to you, ever. It's funny how we'd always say that, yet now it's become reality, crazy. I'm good though, I really am. Just keep your distance, Budd.
*One of my godfathers: Alex & his now dead mother; Alex, I'm so sorry, I know it was unexpected it shocked us all, but things are gonna be alright, we got you. However, I'm basically numb to death now, I have no more feelings toward it, this past year I've gone to more funerals than I ever want to again, I'm just so done with all of it. My grandparents have been gone for almost a year now and I still blame myself, can't seem to get over it, guess that brings me to my next point?
*My Grandparents; You both got sick so suddenly after I left you, I'll always question what would of happened if I'd come back like I had planned; whether it was my fault or not. Bottom line...I miss you guys, you left too soon.
*Danta; We just talked after not speaking to each other for a good week and a half? I understand now that you were on punishment and couldn't contact me, but this is exactly why I didn't want to be in a long distance relationship in the first place. Next time we talk, I'm breaking up with you. I tried to last time, but just didn't seem right, you really need to just let me go, cause I've already cut the rope; fall.
*Ryan; Ah, Ryan. Where have you been for the past 10 years of my life? Right freaking beside me! I've known you since Kindergarten buddy, and now we're in our sophomore year of high school, and I'm just coming to a realization as to how cute you are! I always thought you had a crush on me, and found it cute, but I never had a crush on you...that's all coming to an end. I'm still a little confused about how I feel, but I defiantly know you're a cutie, and have a very nice smile. I know your shy, and that's all good, I like guys that are shy like me, that way nothings forced. I'm gonna make the first move this time, and I'll let things go from there, ha.
*Student Youth Council; Okay, so at first I felt left out that I wasn't apart of the SYC, but now I'm thinking I'm in over my head? A Chaplain, really? I think I may need to reconsider all this, hopefully it's not too late!
*Parody; Alright, it's just you and me, mister parody. I should have been writing you, instead of sitting here blogging, I know. However, I'm gonna need you to cooperate and help me get you finished. Now that my thoughts aren't all jumbled up in my head, I should be able to focus, so after this, you will now have my undivided attention, lol.

Okay, sorry everyone for the extended ranting session, but I really had to get all my thoughts straight and in order. It defiantly worked, I don't feel like everything is overtaking me anymore, it was quick (well maybe not quick), but it helped! If you're ever feeling overwhelmed or just have a lot on your mind, jot somethings down that are irking you. It'll help you vent, and decide what you can fix and deal with now, or things you have to overcome or deal with at a later time.

Well I'm off to actually start my parody for Honors US History, my goal is to be done before 6:30, it's now 5:45...READY, SET, GO!

"Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring it's own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today."
-Matthew 6:34
(^^) <-- ain't that the truth?!

Un-jumbled,
Nik.

Watch yourself honey.

Hey there! Yet again, I have to apologize for my lack of posts. I've been pretty busy with school. Summer is defiantly over, school is in FULL SWING, lol! It's been going pretty well though, my classes are going very good, and my study habits have defiantly improved, which is a plus. To be honest, I've been having some serious writer's block. Which is what I'm putting the blame on for posts; or lack there of. Not quite sure why though, like even before I started this post, I had to force myself to even click the "New Post" link, crazy right?

Anywho, I'm heading to the neurologist at the end of the month, I'm so glad too, because the headaches have been more frequent, and haven't been slacking up; plus the meds aren't doing JACK...So off I go, to get tests done and all that jazz. I'm not all that nervous, though my Grandfather did have a cancerous tumor on his brain at one point, and has to take meds for that everyday, plus my dad was in the hospital for weeks after a blood vessel burst inside his head, when I was younger...so that makes me alittle nervous that I may have some genetic thing.

Yeah, that's basically it, I guess...not one of my more exciting posts, I know. Well I'm going to my high school's 1st football game of the season tonight, that should be exciting! I'm hoping our football team can go farther than it did last year, I'm STOKED for this up and coming football season! Oh, did I tell you I'm starting swim team this year? I'm alittle nervous, cause I've never actually swam competitively, but I swam when I was younger, and enjoy doing it, so I decided to do preseason. So starting September 8th, I'll officially be in swim mode. So that'll be something new, plus it'll help me stay in shape/get ready for track and field this summer.

Oh, and you know what's funny? I've started seeing them more than ever. I mean, I'm talking seeing them together EVERY FREAKING DAY. I just thought that was too funny, like really? EVERYDAY?! It's just this weird feeling I get when I see them together, its like a hate/pity/angry feeling. Part of me is hoping their happy with their relationship, yet the other part of me is hoping to see it fail, because it basically sucks the way things went down between us. I'm still trying to grasp the thought of losing my BESTFRIEND over a lousy boy? Really Navea`? I'd never expect that of you, never ever, I'm talking not in a million years. But I guess I should have seen the signs when you went out with Stephen. I didn't mind that cause he wasn't my 1st love, but still you never once talked to me about that, didn't even see how I felt that you were dating one of my ex's? I would of come to you if I liked one of your ex's. OH WAIT! I FORGOT...MY OPINION DOESN'T MATTER...WELL YOU KNOW WHAT TRICK? FREAKING KICK ROCKS W/MY SLOPPY SECONDS.

And if you're reading this honey, that (^^) is what I'd say to you if you tried to step to me. And please believe that if you step to me...you fittin' to get ROCKEd. So, keep running your mouth honey, keep swapping spit with Eric, and acting like you don't see me walking by you in the hallways, cause shady crappy things like what you guys did won't last long; "what's done in the dark, comes to the light..."


Ha, well that's what was on my mind, just had to get it all out, I feel much better now...I'm defiantly sick of not being able to speak my mind when I want to though. Like being afraid of what others may think of what I've got to say...that's gonna change, best believe that.

Feeling confident,
Nik.

The 411: 8/29/09

Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of posts over the course of a few days...I've actually been on the site, I just haven't had anything of interest to blog about. So I just figured I'd start typing, and hopefully my creative juices will being to flow...It seems like it's beginning to work. Well, I guess I'll give a run down of my week. It's been interesting, a bit overwhelming, and a tad unnerving. Basically school is school, and that's all there is to it. I dropped my Honors Chemistry class, because I didn't think I could handle the work, but part of me thinks I might have just been scared, or lazy. Either way, I'll be in regular ol' Chemistry, which will still be a challenge, but one I'll be able to handle and complete. I started choir, which is nice, I enjoy singing, regardless of what others may think, ha. Choir is actually a lot of fun, along with having it every other day, and having my friends in that class, it's great. I'm going to be doing a lot of new things this year, what with choir, swimming, and track. This year will be a good one, regardless of how things start out, things are gonna get better, I know that for sure.

I recently saw my ex, and my ex-bestfriend, his now girlfriend. It's funny, because I saw them both on the same day, which was weird, because normally I only run into his girlfriend. But I saw him in the hallways Friday, he looked the same. Same ol' tall self, haha. Our eyes met, and I'm not sure if he caught this, but I sorta laughed to myself...I tried not to laugh of course, but I couldn't really help it, but I had to just cheer myself up, keep myself collected and together. I mean really...I went out with him? Not saying there was anything wrong with him, I'm not saying that at all, because I know there's someone out there for him, that is gonna love him for him! However, I can't believe that I allowed myself to get so caught up in our relationship. I can't believe that I let that relationship rule my now love life. It's almost like from that one relationship, I'm so much more caution than need be. I can't really help it though, I'm just saving myself and my emotions for a guy that is worth my time, someone that is going to just as overly cautious as me, and looking for a girl that is worth his time. He's out there, I know it. He may not be the guy I'm with, but at least he's close to it. We're on the same page, and even though things have been slightly rocky, we're working on things. We're taking things slow, we're not so quick to break up, we're both slow to anger, and quick to listen to the other person's feelings. So he may not be there yet, but he's getting there; and the same goes for me. Actually, not that I'm...hm, never mind, I don't wanna jinx anything.

I'm gonna go, I'll try and check in again tomorrow.

Leaving,
Nik.

1st Day of School.

The first day of school wasn't too bad, I have a pretty bad headache at the moment, so I don't really feel up to blogging right now. Plus I have freaking Chemistry homework? That class is majorly hard, they gave me a college book to do work from, a COLLEGE book?! I'm in the 10th grade...like really? So, I've talked to my dad about it, and when my mom comes home we'll decide. Because I know honors classes look good on college apps. but I don't wanna take on a class and struggle causing my GPA to drop, you know? So, I'll probably just take normal Chemistry, which is completely fine with me.

Oh, the rude girl & her sidekick, are still together...or so I heard, lol! I didn't really care, but one of the rude girl's friends brought it up during a conversation, and I just basically stopped her mid-sentence, and was like "nahh, no need to finish." I'm not gossiping about those two, when I said I was finished with them, I meant it...and that meant talking rude about them and everything. I'm not happy their together, but I could careless. I mean if they were both the type of friends they claimed to be, neither of them would be together right now, out of respect for saving our friendships. Obviously, our friendships didn't mean enough to them, but hey...you get over things. Tomorrow should be an interesting day, I know for a fact, I'm gonna run into her during our class 1st block. Defiantly have to pray I stay saved, and don't beat her down, bahaha!

Yet again, I'm getting distracted...I have homework to do, & I have to rest up before bible study...pray I'll be picked for the Student Youth Council, I'll explain later, lol.

Busy,
Nik.

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

The 411: 8/25/09

I have returned. Well, really I haven't gone anywhere, I've just been alittle busy. Jumping right into what I want to say...TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! Not that I'm excited or anything, haha! I'm actually really anxious, like I always am, before a big event. I'm also excited though, because I'm in choir. I shall be singing my heart out everyday, not really...but you get the point. Plus I'm in all honors classes, except for math of course. I keep getting distracted...though you guys don't know this because you only see the finished product and don't know how long it takes me to type this, ha. Anyways, I'm ready for a new year, a new beginning. I'm surrounding myself with new people, and am believing that I will be involved with no drama, because people are going to know...I DON'T PLAY THAT. I'm ready though, I'm a completely different person than what I was last year, I'm excited for people to see that. With that, I'm gonna head to bed, surprisingly I didn't think I'd be tired yet...(9:29), when normally I don't fall asleep until 12, 1 o'clock, ha. But Summer's over, and school is here. I'm gonna shoot up a quick pray or "tap into the Kingdom" as Mrs. Tam likes to put it;

Dear Lord,
I thank you for bringing us through the Summer, I thank you Lord that you allowed us all to see another school year. I ask that you protect us Lord, that you cover us with your precious blood, and surround us with your angels. I ask you to help with our studies, that you would help us to focus when need be. I pray that our teachers are kind, and that our classmates listen and understand what we're being taught. Surround us with good people, people that are going somewhere and doing something good with their time. Continue to draw us closer to you Lord, build up our relationship, and help us to "tap into the kingdom" not only when we need something but just to check in; let others see your light in us, let them know there's something different about us! Help us, protect us, and keep us. I thank you for all your doing, and all your going to do, I thank you and praise you...Amen.

Ready for school,
Nik.

The 411: 8/16/09

I've never realized how truly rude some people can be. I mean, I know there are some rude people out there, but I never expected to run into someone that was so RUDE. No matter how much I tried to be nice, no matter how much I tried to lighten the mood, things just wouldn't get better. She just wouldn't lighten up. She really cut me deep, I mean I was truly hurt. Even though I've forgiven her, for what's been going on, I was still very hurt. I mean I know she doesn't care about what I have to say, I know my opinion never mattered to her in the first place. However, after I thought and thought about what she said to me, I couldn't find one instance that I did those things. If anything I pushed to much to make things work. Let myself be vunerable for too long, hoping -praying- that all this would just blow over like it always did, that wasn't what GOD had in store though. I know no one's perfect, and I know no one stays in your life forever, but no matter how much you hear that statement, it doesn't sting any less when it happens. Can't say I won't miss her, we did have our good times. But hey, I did what I had to do, I planted the seed, now it's up to her to water it and help it grow. So my dear, I wish you nothing but the best, follow your dreams, and be happy with your new friends!

I honestly feel that GOD is working on me. However, I wonder why I can't stop doing the things I know are wrong; the things that I know GOD hates. I just can't bring myself to show self-control. That is what I lack; I lack the very meaning of having self-control. I need to work on that. And I need to work on trusting others. That's going to be the hardest thing though, because (as I was telling one of my best friends) I'm sick of being hurt by people I know and love. I'm tired of it. Again, I know no one is perfect, I know that I'm not the best person in the world, but I truly try to keep people in my life. I mean seriously.

*SIGH*

Oh well, things can only get better from here. I'm tired, today has been a long day; with church, and Imani's party w/ my girls, I'm beat. I'm going to finish updating my ipod, and I'm gonna call it a night.

Multi-tasking,
Nik.

Can you feel the PRESSURE ?

Look out for a new book; PRESSURE. Hopefully, we'll go through with this idea. A childhood friend of mine, Bria, and I are planning to write a collaboration of stories about growing up, and going through & dealing with the trials & temptations of high school. We've started sharing some stories with each other, and surprising their striking similar. We're thinking about writing about the same things, but in each one's point of view, and in different chapters, but back to back. Sound good? However, that won't be happening tonight, I'm beat...It's currently 12:15 am, and I still have yet to get anything ready for the beach, ha. Tomorrow should be interesting. But look out for PRESSURE in the upcoming years!

Sleepy,

Nik.

The 411: 8/11/09

Hola chicos e chicas! I think that's correct Spanish? I hope so, because I'm starting Spanish 1 this semester, and I need to know the basics! This is going to be a quick post, not as deep as the others, lol! Ah, I just realized I never informed you guys about me having to see a neurologist, guess now would be a good time to do that. Basically, I've been suffering from really bad headaches, so I went to the doctor not long ago, and they couldn't determine what the cause was. They ruled out tension headaches, which are headaches that are caused by stress. But really I'm not stressed out, I mean it's SUMMER...though there was that one thing thing that could have scarred me...hmm, eh. So, being that it wasn't tension headaches, they went straight to migraines. Being that my migraines are accompanied with nausea it was apparent that I had to see a specialist, i.e. a neurologist. It's crazy though, because the list of good neurologists in my area were all booked up until late September, which is when I will be going. Better pray it's nothing serious, cause that's a long time to wait! Switching off that quick, my mom said something interesting today when we were talking, I was talking about having a party when I turn 16, and I was remembering my 13th birthday party, and my mom was talking about having it at the same place, but I was saying I couldn't because they're be too many people to fit there. Which brought her to ask how many friends I'd lost over the course of three years. And when I thought about who I'd invited to my party, and who I still talked to I realized I hadn't lost many people. I mean some of the girls I've lost contact with, but their the girls I never considered to be my "bestfriends" just some really close friends. But the "bestfriends" I had at the time I no longer speak to. Well one of them I do, but we're no longer what I'd consider to be bestfriends, and the other girl, well you guys no the story with Ms. "I'm gonna date your ex-boyfriend" lol! Anyway, getting to the point, thinking about it, I've lost maybe three CLOSE friends over the course of three years. That's funny three friends in three years! However, in the course of losing those friends, I've gained so many more. So many, I'm not going to even sit here and try and count them. I'm not just talking about really close friends, I'm talking about gaining some bestfriends. So, really dropping those three people helped me to gain so many more to help replace the empty holes they left. I forgive those people though, for hurting me, for causing me to lose sight of my destiny, I needed them though, and I'm realizing that now. So Eric, Navea, Shannon, you guys are forgiven. Eric, I know you blame me for us not being together, and you know what? Yeah, it was my fault, it's my fault we're not together right now, but it had to be this way. We weren't meant to be my dear, and I'm sorry that I had to drag you through our relationship that way. But I honestly was in with love, I truly and honestly was. You were my first love, and you know what they say about your first love, you never forget them! You'll always be in my heart, ALWAYS. So, if you ever, EVER need anything, doesn't matter what, I've got you, arms outstretched, no questions asked, promise. Navea, and Shannon same goes for you, dears. Navea, I'm moving on. Yeah you got a little big headed about your part in the play, but it was well deserved because you did an amazing job in it. Yeah, you made a lot of new friends, and forgot about the amazing ones you already had, but alls forgiven.

However, I'm gonna cut this short. Have to start packing for tomorrow's trip to the beach, yay!

Forgiving,
Nik.

ponder somethings for me.

sometimes i wonder why i bother.
sometimes i wonder why i put myself through this.
sometimes i wonder when i'll be able to break this evil hold over me.
sometimes i wonder when i'll be able to fight this temptation.
sometimes i wonder when i'll move on past this hurt.
sometimes i wonder what the world would be like without me.
sometimes i wonder what people truly think about me.
sometimes i wonder what really goes on in my head.
sometimes i wonder when i'll take responsibility for my actions.
sometimes i wonder when i'll stop wondering and take action.
sometimes i wonder when the world will become a better place.
sometimes i wonder why people hurt people.
sometimes i wonder why i can't stop.
sometimes i wonder why i can't be who i want to be.
sometimes i wonder why i can't listen to my heart.
sometimes i wonder why i can't listen to what GOD has in store for me.
sometimes i wonder why i can't do the things i say i'm going to do.
sometimes i wonder why i let them hurt me.
sometimes i wonder when i'll become the person i wanna be.

...sometimes, sometimes i wonder, when things are all going to come together.

*take this time now, to write down somethings you wonder about, anything and everything; but don't be too specific, just put it in a general sense. it'll help you get your thoughts in order, and help you determine the things you want to change, or figure out. just try it out, you never know when you can be liberated from some things.*

wondering,
nik.

I'm Center Stage.

I'm not the same person, people came to know the year before. No longer will I let others rule my life, or take advantage of me. No longer will I live in the shadow of others, and be pushed back into the background, as though I'm the stage crew behind a production. No, not this year. This year, this year I'm gonna be the main character, I'm gonna be the director, the producer; I'm gonna be center stage. And whether I like it or not, people are gonna watch me, judge me, make assumptions...but let them talk, let them watch me. They may see me struggle and stumble through the rehearsals, they may see me during my weak points, during my times of doubt, but what they must see, what they dare not miss, is when everything comes together. For you see, everything comes together in the end, that line that I may have missed in rehearsal, won't be missed during the show. I will succeed; I will make it. Don't you worry about that. So, in conclusion, you need to choose now, whether or not you're going to be seated in my audience; apart of my life. I need all kinds of people: Haters, people hoping I fail. You, you'll make me stronger and less depending on what others think about me. Doubters, you, you'll help me to rely on my own will power, and drive. Two-faced/Backstabbers, you, you'll help me know to trust no one but GOD, in essence you'll cause me to turn to GOD for my strength and peace. And of course, I need my supporters, the people on my side, the ones rooting for me, hoping...knowing that no matter what comes my way, that nothing shall befault me. So you see, I need you all, you all play a special part in my becoming of age. So I invite you now...come in, take a seat, and enjoy the show.

In the spotlight,
Nik.

The 411: 8/4/09

I have returned! Well, I never actually went anywhere, well I did but...ah, never mind, I'm here now, lol! A lot has been going on, and I couldn't quite find the time to check in, but I'm making time now, so be grateful...just kidding. Let's just dive right in, shall we?
Things with my bf, have been going well. He isn't really my boyfriend, but we sure act like it enough. I guess you could just say we're "boo lovin'", which in a sense means, we're talking and acting like a real couple, but aren't officially a couple. I don't mind that we're not officially a couple, only because he lives a thousands miles away from me, and neither of us want to mess up what we have (being close friends), trying to make a boyfriend, girlfriend relationship work long distance. So, I'm content where I am with him for the moment, just him being there for me, is more than enough.
Recently, (yesterday, lol), an old friend contacted me and we caught up, we'll call him Jon. Jon is a very nice guy, who I've known since kindergarden. We were in 1st, 2nd, 4rd, & 5th grade together, and this year he happened to be in my gym and health class. Jon and I of course grew apart over the last couple years, made very different friends, and honestly I didn't think he gave a rat's bum about me, or our friendship anymore. He obviously did, and contacted me via Facebook, and we caught up. We talked until almost 2 in the morning last night/this morning, and it was nice...catching up. Though through out the conversation it was apparent he was talking to me to get a quick hook up. Now since you guys don't know me personally, this maybe giving you the impression that I'm not in upstanding young woman. However, I am, and there's no way that I would just hook up without first being in a serious relationship with someone, and knowing without a doubt he & I were ready. Jon is a nice guy, he really is. He's no perv, but I'm defiantly not that easy, lol. So, being the straight up person I am, I told him, I wasn't like other girls he'd been with, that he wasn't getting anything from me unless I was in a serious relationship with him, now that's not me forcing him to date me, it's just laying all the cards out on the table, and telling him what's, what; setting the boundaries if you will.
Other than just enjoying my summer, everything else seems to be in order, I'll keep you guys posted.


Love,
Nik.

BOOO..

Haha, guess what guys...I got a call from Eric. Wow, I need to get his number outta my phone, ASAP. Wonder how he's doing? Wonder how she's doing? Hmm...all I have to say to them is..."KICK ROCKS LOVES<3"

I wanted to go to my church's dodgeball tournament tonight, but sadly I haven't a ride there, my parents are outta town, and of course no one can swing by and pick me up...BOO. So I'll just spend my Friday night relaxing, I have had a bad migrane on and off today, so I guess staying in where it's quiet is best, still wanted to go though...*pout*

Catch you later,
Nik.

Decisions, decisions...

I was doing some thinking, (for once in my life...). But, in all seriousness, I've come to the conclusion that I have a very very difficult time making decisions. I'm sure some do and some don't, but I have a very hard time choosing things that I want to do, people I want to see, things I want to eat, the type of music I want to listen to, the type of people I want to surround myself with...wait no, scratch that, I have no problem choosing who I want to surround myself with, that's an easy choice to make. Though it seems like everything else, even little things seem to leave me flustered. However, the decision I'm currently pondering...this decision that I may or may not make...has the ability to change my life...forever. And no, I'm not making it more dramatic than need be, it really will change my life, if I pick a certain option. Part of me wants it, but part of me doesn't, part of me doesn't want to grow up so fast, but another part is yearning to become more mature, and step it up, part of me is ready to deal with the repercussions (if I take a certain option), while the other part knows I'm nowhere near ready to deal with them; part of me wants to make my dreams come true, right here, right now, but the other part knows good and well, that if things go wrong, all my dreams and aspirations will come to a skirting halt. Decisions, decisions, what to do, what to do. Luckily for me, I have time to come to a decision, however, I myself, would like to come to a decision before I'm presented with that pressing question again; before I have to either take action, or sit back and just let things happen...

Wondering what to do,
Nik.

The 411: 7/24/09

Hey there! Sorry I haven't been blogging as much, I've been on the move! Not long ago, I hung out with the best mentor in the world *insert drum roll*...ALANA! I stayed on campus with her for a few days, climbed trees, and FLEW; well not really it was more of zip lining, but you get the picture.

After that, I spent the weekend with my grandparents, and than directly from leaving there rode 2 hours to New Jersey to stay a week with my aunt. It was nice, hung with my cousin a lot while we were there, experienced mini golfing for the first time, and got a well needed tennis lesson, and AB workout, ha!

After leaving there Wednesday, I woke up early Thursday morning to head down to Atlantic City with my best friends! Though it rained all day, we did some major shopping, and made a ton of memories I won't soon forget (i.e. "We need to find a 'STARBUCKS', RIGHT NOW!", 'Nicole, I think you should jump over that, and try and catch on to one of those chains!"...)

Which brings me to today...where I'm leaving for VA Beach in a matter of...3 hours?! Well if you want to get technical about it, my mom and I are leaving for Jersey first, than riding down to Virginia with my aunt and uncle either late tonight, or early tomorrow morning. Either way I have yet to pack on thing, and my padre is bringing me to my madre's job in T minus 3 hours?!

But, I just wanted to update you all on my lovely life! I'm defiantly enjoying myself, things couldn't be any better. I mean, really, being surrounded by good friends, loving family, and my bf who wouldn't be happy?

I fear I must be going, have to actually pack now, lol. I'll check in again soon, promise!

Livin' it up,
Nik.

FREE HUGS.

You're not too huggy. You're just right.
Your hugs are warm, encouraging, reassuring, and just right.They're always a comfortable length, because you know when it's time to embrace, and when it's time to let go. Hugs are about bonding and friendliness, but they're also about empathy and connection. You have good hug instincts, so you can usually sense if a hug will lift someone's mood or if they're shying away.You probably seize every hug-portunity when you're hanging out with your huggiest friends, but you'll never force a hug on someone who's not feeling it. No matter where you go, or who you're with, your hugs adapt to the situation. You're so good at hugging, you deserve a prize...or a HUG!

If you're in need of a hug, than I'm your girl!

Arms outstretched,

Nik.

I'm Anxious.

Have you ever felt anxious? But I'm talking about being anxious, but not knowing why in the world you're anxious? That's how I feel right now, even typing this, I'm just feel so jumpy and anxious. Like I'm waiting for something to happen, but have no idea what in the world I'm waiting for. You know what, I think I'm gonna change my URL, I've said this before, I know but I forgot, but now, now I'm going to. Ahh, no I'm not, I don't know what I want. This isn't good, I need to just calm down, and relax. Nothing is wrong, everything is going to be fine. I can't finish this...

Out of it,
Nik.

The 411: 7/08/09

Have you ever done a video chat? And not just any ol' video chat, but one with a huge group of people? It is by far one of the funniest things alive, especially if you're apart of it, or when people forget their being filmed and do crazy stuff, it's hilarious I tell you. It was down to Zamar, Anaziaha and I, but I was getting sleepy so I said my goodbyes and hit the X button. I've been doing well though, defiantly enjoying Summer. I've been hanging with friends A LOT. And it's funny because at the start of the Summer I had no plans, and it seems now, I ALWAYS have something to do. Take tomorrow for instance, tomorrow I will be accompanying friends to see a movie and than after Red Robin. And than take Friday, Friday I will be going swimming with the same group of friends (with others meeting us there) and than after going to a party with a completely new group of people! I'm really excited though, I'm never ever bored, lol. My secret lover and I have been talking nonstop, and haha! You guys want all the juicy details don't you? Well ya not gonna get 'em...at least not tonight, way to tired to blog about everything. He's a nice guy though he lives in ATL. We're just good friends, and he and I are okay with that. He listens and understands me, and knows what he's going to do with his life. I'm also glad he's willing to wait, and respect my decisions, he's one of a kind.

I'm beat though, and according to my laptop with only 17% of it's battery remaining...so is it! I'm surprised I'm even able to keep my eyes open right now, lol! I'll catch up with you guys later, promise.

Yawning,
Nik.
