Blogging again?

So how about that ride in? I guess thats why they call it sin city...Ha-Haha. I've been watching The Hangover alot recently.

Again, just like my last blog, many months ago, I never thought I would blog again. I'm back for the time being. After reading Adam's Travels I have decided to get back into it to discuss how things have been since most of my friends went on their journey to Europe.

Quick update first: I'm back with Leah, again. The break-up sucked but I actually think I have become a little more mature of a person because of it. Rutgers Camden still is actually working out for me, I'm maintaining my grades and I've grown a little at my high class job with Applebee's. I've been working hard at a job that I actually really like and it has paid off. I've been to Disney World with my family and went on a cruise with my girlfriend, both very fun and I am going to see Drake in a week and I am very excited for that. I have rekindled my enthusiasm with the Flyers during their Stanley Cup run and hope they can pull it out in games 6 and 7 to win the cup with their backs against the wall, it will be tough but all you can do at this point is have faith.

Seven of my best friends have gone on a month long journey across the sea to Europe. I'll be honest, last week when they first left I was bitter because I just didn't want them to go because I wanted my friends around. I was having a tough time with it because part of me really wanted to go, of course I find out they turned it down from 18 to 8 cities and it makes more sense. But I did not want to be away from home for a month and I have not been secure with money and I just did not find it proper for me to go when I wasn't fully committed. So for the first couple of days I was just bummed cause I wanted them here to have fun and I did not think that I would be able to. Also I started get down on other things, for example the fact that I am the oldest of all my friends and that I have not graduated yet, its tough to deal with but its ok and I have another year to figure out my life. But for one thing I have my girlfriend which is always a plus, but yesterday I hung out with Tim and Dan and I had a good time. It gave me hope that we will be able to hang out more while they are gone and still be able to have fun. So I am going to take everything one day at a time and before I know it they will be back. So I say to my friends overseas, I hope you have fun and enjoy this once of a lifetime chance, for when you come back we will party it up and embrace the rest of the summer. I get its kind of corny but do you guys really expect anything less of me?

A whole new look on things...

Well Im back, and I never thought I would again, but things have changed much since I last bloggeg. Lets get into it.

First off, the last time i blogged, I discussed the coming of Mike Vick to Philadelphia. With him being one of my favorite players ever I was completely excited for his arrival, my expectations were more optimistic than realistic. Sadly Vick has not really contributed at all to the team. Its ok though because Im glad he got to wear Eagle green. Rumors are Vick will be seeing alot of the friendly confines of Buffalo, New York next year. One of the teams that was rumored to acquire him, but thats fine with me and there isnt much more that needs to be said about that.

Next, Im a Rutgers Camden student now, which is disappointing, but I am finally doing really well in all of my classes so maybe this will work out for the better. I hate being home and not having much to do but I have a job with people that I like and I am making my way on my own now.

On my own now? Well many months ago I blogged on a certain someone due to a breakup, mistake of a blog but since that blog my (now ex) and I had gotten back together and things were going really well. I appreciated her for everything she was, we went to concerts and we even went on a trip to Miami Florida, and it was a great trip, but as time passed I guess a rift grew and we eventually broke up. At first it was very hard for me to take and was not sure what was going to come out of it. But now I have reached some closure and Im happy for that. Im not really sure of where things are going to go in the future. Before I was stressing due to my future and how everything was going to work. But with the recent events things have gone out the window and I have realized it is time to just take everything day by day. Also I have visited my friends way more than I did last year and we are only at the halfway point of the first semester. There are so many great things that I have in my life and now I really need to appreciate them for what they are. Im healthy and good looking, Im a smart kid who just needs to focus more and I have some of the best friends a guy could ask for. I say I have 8 best friends that I can really count on and I am so lucky to be able to have them in my life. It may seem I take things for granted sometimes, but they are right there to remind me that I really do have it good. To those friends of mine, I really and am truly appreciate them and dont know what I would do without them. Thank you guys so much!

More of a sentimental ending to my blog but I am back and I will continue to bring along my thoughts with some of the available time that has opened up in my life.

Goodnight and Goodluck!

Michael Vick: Welcome to Philadelphia

Ok I know I was to blog about the Young Money America's Most Wanted Music festival that I attended two weeks, which was by far the best concert I have ever went to, but Drake retore is ACL as he was starting Best I Ever Had and it was disappointing but to sum it all up real quick, it was great and cant wait to see Lil Wayne/or Drake again.

Now my real time to blog. Yes, Im inspired again and boy is it controversial. One of my favorite athletes is now in the midnight green. Philadelphia pulled a fast one over everyone in signing recently release from prison Michael Vick to a potential two year contract, depending on the club option on the second year. I never envisioned Vick in an Eagle uniform, even when he became available. Now its fair to still have questions and concerns but first reaction and still is a feeling of Oh my God! Michael Vick is an Eagle and I cant wait to get his jersey, even if everything doesn't go well, just to have him as a part of this team is absolutely insane. I honestly have liked Vick since his days at Virgina Tech. Quickly I will discuss how I got to this blog, but it may not be so quick. Most people know but to recap, Michael Vick was indicted of criminal charges dealing with a dog fighting scandal that was true and Vick was sentenced to 23 months in jail. Trust me, I do feel his actions were disgusting and inappropriate, but I never gave up on him. After being released in July NFL commish Roger Goddell granted Vick with conditional reinstatement in the league and by week six Vick will know if he is permenatly back in the NFL. But many teams would not come forward in showing interest in Vick. Up to a couple of days it seemed like Michael would not play a down in the NFL in 2009 and that would have really upset me because I feel he deserves a second chance, he is remorseful and I feel he really has changed for the better, he pretty much spent two years in jail. I fully support Michael Vick joining the Philadelphia Eagles. So as the excitement took place tonight I updated my facebook status saying " Favorite player is finally an Eagle, gonna acquire my third Vick jersey tonight!" Now I am very excited, I cant take my eyes off the TV when this guy plays, I love his ability, so I was hoping I could watch him in the NFL but even better I can watch him play for my absolute all time favorite team. So I didn't think what I am going to tell you next would happen. My Uncle uses facebook and him and his girlfriend absolutely hate Vick because of what he did and I believe they were never fans of him anyway. At this point this is totally fair. But when I arrived to my humble abode a little earlier this evening after the news I looked at my page and saw a comment about my status. My uncle said: "what the f**k is wrong with you! do you have any idea what that piece of shit did to animals? i thought you were a better person than that, guess i was wrong". Im fine with someone disagreeing with me and maybe have stated their opinion (even though I beleive if you dont have anything nice to say, then dont say it at all, not to be corny but its true.) To say I'm a bad person for liking someone that made some bad decisions and paid for it and being that this is about a football player it really disappoints me because I'm his nephew. This is only the beginning but this is what is going to continue to take place for only God knows how long with many people. I am sorry if I offended people with my opinion but I am not sorry for my opinion, maybe I shouldn't have advertised it, but sorry for being excited because one of my favorite athletes is on my favorite team. Many discussions have already been had and I always respect the opinions of others but it makes me angry when people cross the line and feel it is acceptable.

My final thoughts are that I am Ecstatic that Michael Vick will be playing football but I am disappointed with how some people are treating the situation.

To my followers, Have a Very Vicktastic Day!

Young Mula Baby!

Its July 30th, which means tomorrow is the best day of the year. That's right, America's Most Wanted Music Festival comes to Camden NJ and boy will it be one of the craziest things ever. Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy, Pleasure P, Jeremiah and the Young Money Crew will tear apart the state of New Jersey like no one has ever done before. The Best Rapper Alive will destroy the stage that if there are any other concerts this summer, which there are they may need to find a new venue, except for Blink at the end of august. Anyway, I wanted to go to the I Am Music tour so bad, I thought I was missing out, but boy was I wrong. Now the only unfortunate part of the night, and is kind of significant, Drizzy Drake Rogers will not be doing his own half an hour set, but he will make at least 4 song appearances and I will just have to see him the next time he comes to the Philly/Camden area. I will be, dont care when cause Drake is worth it. In the past three years, I dont think a day has gone by where I havnt listened to a Lil Wayne song, its impossible, there are so many, we can even say thousands which is insane and hes only 26. So this is gonna be the night of all nights for me. Right now at this point Kanye has been the best concert I have ever seen and it was amazing, but I just know Weezy will just kill it like OJ Simpson. Im so excited I dont even know what to say about it anymore that you will just have to wait until Saturday to find out how the concert actually went.

To my followers, stay rare like Mr. Clean with hair.
Um..........YOUNG MULA BABY!!!!!!!

Have I really lost it?

A couple months back I was inspired by Diego, to blog. And I took so much pride in my work and vowed to keep my thoughts coming. I got rave reviews for my blog, because they were better than I expected and the first month or so I kept the blogs coming as often as Lil Wayne puts out a new song. Then something happened.....I don’t even know what happened. But it happened, that’s all I can tell you for sure. I think Corporate America has taken full effect, ok, probably not, but it sounds cool to name drop corporate, but I guess PHH isn’t really Corporate America, its just dumb office work or lack there of. Anywho, like every year I get older I feel like ok, I still am a kid, where I can do whatever I want, the summer is mine, lets have fun everyday, but the past three years I’ve had “9 to 5” type internships, pretty much saying sayonara to the days of summer and I know we all have to grow up, but I’m not ready. I’m so tired of this mediocrity and monotone type of life, I want to do more, I want to go to the beach. The thing is most of my friends work the same way, its just unfortunate because I feel like we have lost the real feeling of summer and its just another season, its just being responsible while it is hot out. Grant it, we do have the weekends, but it is confined to two days, but what can we do about it. Anyway, my rant lead to the fact that I feel like I am trapped in a box and I’m disappointed with the way things are going and that I have lost the will to blog. I apologize to anyone that actually cares about the blog, I just feel so monotone. I want to blog more but there is not that much time and I just feel as though I have less to write about. But to end on a positive note, there are still events I have to look forward too, but I think I realized I’m not doing an internship next year because it takes my life away from me, just my opinion and I know I will be working like an internship again, once I get a real job but I want to embrace as much as I can.

Don’t worry, I will try to keep blogging, cant guarantee anything but I’ll do my best.
Tomo’s out.

America's Most Wanted

July 31st will be an epic night in the 22 year long life I have lived so far. Weezy F. Baby and Drizzy Drake Rogers will be drugging me up beyond belief. But not of crack, heroin, marijuana or any other recreational drugs, I will be both high and intoxicated with what I believe to be great music, I know everyone has their opinions and that’s fine. Its like Sean at a Keith Urban concert or Adam at a Taylor show or Money at the three ring circus or Steve at Coldplay or Brett at All-American Rejects or Dan and Ryan at whatever concert it may be cause Im not really sure what their like favorite band is. I’ve dreamed of the day I would be in the same vicinity as Dwayne Michael Carter as my obsession with his music grew some 3 years ago. What could be better than seeing Mr. Young Mula himself? O teacher call on me! I know! I know! I know! Yes Tomo… Having Mr. Degrassi on the same stage on the same night. Drake is new to the mainstream limelight but he’s been putting it down for some time now. Its unfortunate I didn’t find out about him soon, because he was just so underground that I was blind to it. Degrassi star (Great show, reason my Drake fix began) turned rapper/R&B already has one of the biggest buzz’s across the country with two songs in the top ten on the Billboard chart without actually being signed to a label yet, a very rare and incredible feat, this is just the beginning of his recognition. I have said and will continue to say he is the next Lil Wayne, where before you know it, you will not be able to turn the corner without hearing him. To my followers and friends I am just preparing you for the storm that is Drake. He is the second act at the show behind Jeremiah who sings “birthday sex” but seeing him will be just as rewarding to me as seeing Lil Wayne because he is that amazing. My girlfriend Leah made this dream possible as she bought tickets for our two year anniversary and we are so close to the stage that I don’t know how I am going to keep myself composed and I appreciate everything she has done for me. Sorry fellas, not trying to get sappy but I give credit where credit is due. Also Soulja Boy and Young Jeezy will be performing and Im excited for Jeezy and I guess seeing Soulja Boy will be interesting so it really should be a great night.

The Journal is back…..6/10/2009

For my followers, this is for you, being so faithful and wanting more, I am bringing back the journal, full on summer journal with lines such as I have my thoughts about that and best friend “….”, you guys know the rest. (Hey Money, Yeah you big guy) Anywho, just to inform I am writing at work due to the lack of work. Nothing too exciting yesterday, woke up went to work. Things got crazy cause they moved us to another part of the third floor and the desks aren’t even cubicles and its just absolutely erroneous that the move happened. First thing that happened when I got to my new desk there was the full-time woman who sits directly across from me and was like you cant be loud while I’m on the phone cause I’m partially deaf in one ear…….well, guess what, cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it. (Ok, that’s a little harsh, but she was very rude about it.) Also with this move, I’m still “technically” near the other interns but we are all spread out and like down a line and I like the group of interns and now I’m being restricted from being normal me….LOUD! But I will definitely find my way around it, because by taking away my voice they are transforming me into another faceless man in Corporate America and Tomo don’t like dat. Went to lunch and Sean and Eric from Building 4 came over and we ate with sean’s COUSINS, sorry, God forbid I made a mistake. (I have my thoughts on that. Count it!) After lunch we found that my phone doesn’t work at my new desk so I got to sit back at my old one, but by myself but I actually enjoyed it because I actually got a lot of work done, so as unfortch as yesterday was it was somewhat successful. Then I went to the gym with “Best Friend Eric” and his demon brother Steven Lorenzo (Don’t ever trust Steven if he says he is going to do something because he is all talk, again, have my thoughts about that) ;) Then had tacos at home, blogged, showered, picked up twilight and went over to Leah’s to watch Twilight and relax and get into a little disagreement, but its all good, I’m usually wrong so what else is new. Arrived home around 3:30 in the morning, too late to blog and rested my eyes so I could stare at the PHH computer screen for 8 hours.

Until next time fellers, I’m Still Fly….remember that.
