Dear Friends,
Today's entry is about one thing: laziness. I am surrounded by people that are so fucking lazy. Let me begin with a story:
My mother is not a slob but she has her moments. She hates dishes in the sink after 11pm. She hates spider webs and lint on the walls. My mother is not a clean freak but she is not lazy. I have had my lazy moments but I love a clean home. Even my dorm room was clean. My first apartment was clean for the most part. I never had roaches but lived with people that did.
So you want to why I am ranting about being lazy? Well I know some people that are so lazy that their places are messed up. One person I know is so lazy that they cannot clean up shit from their dogs. The shit ended up on clothes and even in the washer machine. How lazy are you to not notice dog shit on clothes? Dog pee was also on the clothes and floors. I know a family that has a basement full of shit and piss. Not only is it from their pet dogs and cats but sewage back up.
There are shows that focus on messy people and also the effects of their lack of cleanliness. Shows like Clean House and Horders show how people get so lazy that they cannot clean their houses or gather too much shit and get sick from it. I see shows like that and wonder how lazy someone could be to not wash dishes or pick up dog shit. So my grip with this is that I don't know what makes a person take two seconds to wash a dish or clean some shit. I don't care about if someone calls me lazy but I know I am not. I don't bring roaches, rats, mice, or any vermin to my place of residence and will never let anyone bring them in my home.
All I can do is pray and clean my messes. I don't want to end up sick, or worse. I don't want to kill mice or any other rodents or insects. So for now, I just get through my days and hope that I never get like this. For now, I am going to be clean at all cost. I also hope that my next life is clean as well. More to come...

May Madness: Aftermath of Graduation
Dear Friends,
My lack of entries was due for three reasons: Finals, Graduation, and Work. I am going to try to blog more starting this week. I should have a lot of things to say and I do. My life should have changed because I finished college but it has not. I wonder why I still feel depressed and hopeless. Maybe it is because I have nothing to work to but that's not true because I am still in school for my bachelors degree and maybe more. I just don't have enough time to do what I want to do. Actually I have time but I am too busy trying to do other things. So where to begin in my epic tale? Let's start with finals then work to recent events.
Someone once told me that finishing something does not mean the end of something. So in my epic journey to get a college degree, I have been going through a range of emotions about completing this degree. My last week of finals were everything from stressful to crazy. I have studied so hard and worked my ass off to see graduation. I have done everything outside of selling my soul and cheating to graduate. So we fast foreward to graduation day, and the reality of graduation did not hit me until I was in my cap and gown. Seeing people I have been in class with for two years in their caps and gowns made me happy. Unfortunately my happiness was short lived after the ceremony. You would think that graduation is my day to shine but my reality slapped me in the face. So due to some impatient acts and people who could not wait for details, my evening was almost ruined. I ended up eating dinner with my friends but my family was somewhere else. I am still upset at that because I don't have pics of my mom or anyone else in my cap and gown.
After graduation, my hype and my drive paused. I am taking spring/summer classes to keep my mind active and I am also working. My mind needs to be active in order to keep my life active. So what now? Well for now, I am going to do what I need to do in order to live but my life is going to change once September come. People will not like this change but I need to do it or I will be miserable. More to come....
