Environment: At a party in a park.

1^st & 2^nd 8-count: So I’m talking to my friend and she’s dating this young guy that I see getting out of his car. He sees me talking to her and I give a bad look and make him look away because of how hard and cold I am.

3^rd & 4^th 8-count: I lift an imaginary screen and show her all the stuff I’ve done in my life and that I will give her motivation and happiness. It’s hard to compete with a man like me who has struggled and suffered and came out alive and became the man who I am now. I then do a spin and make her focus her.

5^th & 6^th 8-count: She is now paying close attention. On that electronic sound, I comb my hair, showing the maturity and give an example that I’ve experience different things like weed. I smoke the weed on the syllables of ‘experience’ and then throw it to the ground and burn it out with my foot on the ‘s’ sound of that word. I then show that I dress myself all the time no matter what people think.

7^th & 8^th 8-count: I bring her to a table and show her the corny ways I would show my love for her. I then let her know that I’ll will protect her in every way.

Chorus: This is where I would show her that I’m good in bed but also very rough and aggressive. Hopefully one day my visions will come alive.

Before moving to Las Vegas, I was an active individual and had many priorities that were sometimes over bearing but worth it. I would dance for hours with a group called the company, teach children for hours with a school called WSPA, and work full time graveyard shifts at Target. But also go to school.

Dancing with the company was an intense and life changing experience. Every single practice, I would always give more than a 100% because I love it and I know I am the few who are at this level that aren’t natural at dancing. The only thing that kept me in check were friends that would help me in the process and my will to be better than everyone else. But most importantly, I’m very analyzing and I put that into dance and I always ask questions no matter if it’s dumb or smart. From beginning to end, we would sweat hard and work hard to get what our director wants us to do and to make sure his visions come to life. Our practices are physically challenging but mainly mentally challenging. It challenges the way we hear music and how differently you can use the music and use our body as an instrument to show the art we have created in our minds. Even though Daly City was always around the fifties to the sixties in temperature, we would warm up the room to the eighties and when we stand outside, steam would rise from our bodies, showing us that this is hard work in progress. The experience I got from the company will always be in my soul and is a really big influence in my life. Thanks Pat for everything.

Teaching at the Westalke School for the Performing Arts was also life changing. They first started me after two years of attending the school but they decided that i was ready to teach because of all the classes I would aide for pat. When aiding for Pat, I would not just stand there a be an extra body, I would analyze how he teaches and see the students’ reactions and interest and soak it in for future knowledge. The first year of teaching was difficult of course but after realizing that these kids are either here to dance or are forced here by their parents, I start asking myself if i’m able to put the passion i have for dance into them while also putting the fun in it. In the process, I start building the passion to teach, causing students to also start looking up to me and respect me and gaining the love for dance. Seeing their eyes light up every time they learn choreography makes me love it even more. But then after teaching for a few years, i start thinking to myself that i want kids of my own. I asked the students who their heroes are and when they say their fathers, it would put tears to my eyes because that means the father’s love is in them and the children naturally have an answer saying that. Usually children at that age don’t know how to fake an emotion, so the first thing that comes out of their mouths are usually the truth. After hearing their answers, i can’t wait to have my first son and or daughter and find out that i’m their hero. Sorry to get out of subject but my point for putting teaching in this list, it takes a lot out of a person to work with kids, its mainly a mental challenge than a physical. But of course being the person I am, i always give more than 100% because thats who I am and these kids deserve it.

Working at Target showed me how hard I work. I would unload trucks for two straight hours without showing any fatigue. I would lift the boxes the correct way and treat each box as if they were fragile because I’m all about quality in my work. I would hustle all the way to the end and get that employee of the month. At the same time, the managers would gain a relationship with me and trust me to the fullest. They would make me do everything for them, but also they would help me with certain favors, for example, they would let me be off if theres a party i want to go to and they would give me a higher raise than anyone there working. This job showed me that I’m a very strong labor worker than hustles and has quality behind it.

These three activities happened all at the same time for a few years but also i had school in the process. I would sleep for only 2 to 3 hours a day to be able to complete all of these. I would also push myself to give every single priority a 100% because it ain’t impossible and I know I have the heart to make it possible. Physically, I was capable of doing everything but mentally it was very challenging.

The reason why I moved here, it was because my mom felt bad for me and told me to drop everything because it won’t get me anywhere for my future and I won’t be able to support my family if i get one. She wants me to complete school and have a career in whatever I do. For a year in vegas, I would only have studying as my priority but still get only average grades. But after this past semester, I ended up with amazing grades because I joined many activities. I joined Tae Kwon Do, Meccamee, Bowling Team, doing insanity, and lifting. I realized that i need to stay active to be successful and to feel younger because thats where success for me happens. I dont know why but it just does. So when I say workout, i dont mean just lift, i mean physically and mentally exercising everyday. So that’s why i work out.

During the 1989 earthquake in san francisco, my step dad was yelling “earthquake.” First thing that came to my head, because of watching too much wrestling, i thought the wrestler named “Earthquake” was outside the apartment building shaking it with his hands. Because of that day, i had a grudge on that wrestler for the longest time until i understood what an earthquake was. i was only four but i feel like i can see everything replaying in my head for like the five minutes of that time frame. So instead of being scared, i was more angry and confused of why he chose our building.. haha

Im gonna start blogging on what’s been on my mind because i have lots to share.
