Got it all on Tape

Yesterday we watched my little sister's wedding video with all our close friends and cousins at my place. It was nice to have everybody out and even nicer was being able to re-live that amazing time we all had during the wedding, moments that will truly last forever. Looking at the videos makes you appreciate all the people around you so much, they really make everything worth it. We laughed so much last night, mostly at each other pointing out awkward moments in the video, especially Numair's dancing (like mine is any better..). It ended up being a really good night (Btw the 'Got it all on Tape' Title is so not accurate since video is filmed on digital media now...but...nevermind dork mode: OFF).

My basketball team is 4-2 and in 2nd place and I'm finally starting to play pretty good. I'm glad because I used the excuse of saying I was out of shape for the first 5 games and told my captain it would take me until then to get back to form (it was totally just an excuse for my poor play) but I actually lived up to it and showed up game 5 (And 6) and hope to continue the upward trajectory.

Someone recently said to me, that a car is just a means of transportation. Disrespect. So wrong. A car is not just a means of transportation! A car to me is a personality trait, an extension of the person driving it. And this doesn't mean you need to drive a Porsche to be cool, but the condition you keep your car in says something as well. To me a car has a personality, it's almost living in the way it looks, the way it moves, the way it fires up to life, with the engine being the heart of the beast. Each time I step on the throttle I feel the engine rumble the car, with the sensation crawling up my spine. Driving is an enjoyable experience if you let it be. I love to just hop into the car and drive to nowhere, sometimes with music sometimes without. I use those moments as time to reflect on things, on life, it's my escape from the world. This is also why I hate winter, because my Baby gets put away for the winter. You're probably thinking relax on your car, your girlfriend/wife (whenever that happens) is probably going to be jealous, maybe even intimidated. And to that I say, she should be :)

Later!

I just hope that you miss me a little when I'm gone.

Why does it seem to matter to us that the people that used to be in our lives should miss us even a little? Old friends, ex girlfriends/boyfriends, why does it matter to us? It seems to matter to me. Maybe it's a pride thing? I'm not sure but I do wonder sometimes if those past people miss me, even a bit. I guess the feeling is that when you meant so much to somebody at some point that you would still have some meaning to them in some way today, even if you don't speak anymore.

I'm becoming a very aggressive person. I seem to be waiting for someone to say the wrong thing so I can start throwing elbows. Don't worry I wont do it (I don't think) its just how I feel. And its not that I'm in a bad/sad state of mind, I just feel like I'm done being the nice guy. Maybe its some kind of transition for me and I'll become a douchebag, let's wait and see. I'm just tired of being Mr. Nice Guy and getting nothing in return. You know certain people are still in my prayers despite them scarring me emotionally beyond measure, lying to me, abandoning me, and I still pray that they're happy. My friend said that just shows I'm a good guy. I said it shows I'm a punk and can be played. I'm not sure which one is right, but I keep praying for that person's happiness. Does anybody pray for mine?

I'm sounding a lot more negative that I am. Aside from the above mindset, I'm doing great. I'm still at the gym and seeing great results, work is alright these days, my family is beyond amazing and the biggest blessing I have (this includes my cousins and close friends, you know who you are). I'm also back into the photography thing. Got a bunch of new equipment and am really excited to keep it going:
