Signing off...

One might think that the world is filled with bad people and people that are just meant to do bad things. While growing up i have witnessed alot of good and bad things in my life. Something kind of changed my mind over this past weekend, i felt as if there is alot of good people in this world. I was in the city of Riverside this weekend at Stater Bros. off of La Sierra and i happened to notice a poor man (Bum) walking on the side walk. It seemed as if he was just walking with no purpose in mind. And all of a sudden I see this man caring groceries and see an older lady by him. Now I do not now whether or not he was helping her for money or not but I assume that he was not. This struck me as odd to see a bum helping an older lady out. It made me wonder that in this world full of hate there are some people with good hearts and willing to help others. I feel that if you need help you most often will recieve it in some form, the tricky part is to help others while they are in need as well. I sign off by saying look out for yourself and help others for some day the people you may have helped will help you when in need.........

What else..

I met a guy this weekend at the mall and for some reason we started talking. His name is Matt he is pretty tall and a white guy. So we where talking and i kind of figured that he was rich because he was explaining all these things that rich people would have. He was saying that his range rover had a problem so he is only stuck to one car and that one car was a seven series BMW. He was also saying how his dad owned a business and all these other stuff. While he was talking for some odd reason I started thinking about this guys life and future. I asked myself do rich young people that get there money from parents have any goals in life or are they self reliant on there riches that they already hold? I did not want to ask him after all I had just met him but it just made me wonder are rich people that have everything handed to them expect for this to happen for the rest of their lives? I could not tell you because I am no where close to being rich and have never had nothing handed to me. Does this make me a better person or does this make me a slave to those that have everything they want? All these questions aroused from one simple statement, and yet even though I do not know how it feels to be rich I would love to be rich one day. I have goals and have dreams and those goals and dreams involve money yet if I do get money one day will this make me see eye to eye with Matt? I certainly will not because my lifes path has a whole other experience and perspective.

Wow what a crazy world...

I went to a place called the pantry this week, it is a small little diner in Downtown, LA the old mayor of LA owns it. It is famous it is opened 24 hours and has all the typical diner food that you could think of. This place is nice for being so old it has been open since 1924, when i saw that i was amazed. But that is not what surprised me what surprised was that this whole block (Figueroa Street) was very nice but just one block down it is all so ugly and old. On one hand you have the Pantry, the Staples Center, The Disney center among many other nice things on this street. And as soon as you walk down the street you have a pawn shop, a liquor store, a gun store among other things. What type of society are we living in? Is it so bad that instead of remodeling or taking care of our surroundings we trash it up and make it worse? Like Kunstler said if we do not care about our surroundings who will? And the answer my friends is no one. I am tired of seeing the streets full of trash and full of places that seem to have no impact on our lives. Maybe if one day enough people have the same thoughts and beliefs as i do we can mold and change this society into a better one.
