Young................Wild..........and........Free...........

"Gotta love it, It was the best of times, Young, wild, crazy, sometime stupid and free to be. Enjoy it because we don't stay young forever." Simple, All men are created equal.~real talk~

      I still remember it, like it was yesterday, young, wild and free. It wasn't that long a go for me but I know 32 is not young either. It is nice being young because you had no real responsibility at all and that was the nice thing about being young.
    Not young anymore but I still can get down with anybody. I mean when it comes to partying, trust me I can get down with the best of them. I've been partying ever since I was a teen and I can tell you that it was some crazy and good times. I was throwing a party's every chance I had and I'm not talking about small party either. I had my first big party when I was maybe 14 and I still remember it till now because the first party I had was five days long(1995 new year).
     So I do know something about being young, wild and free. Partying every weekend and I was even throwing party at the local Martin Luther King Center in Redding California, when I was fifteen years old. The only reason why I got to do that was because of my dancing crew. We practice there and the center had sponsor us to keep us out of trouble. They made us uniform and even put us in the Redding city parade. I will get that video someday when I get back to Redding. Thanks Eddie for everything. I had three big party there before they had told me to stop because every party I had, there was always a shooting between rival gangs but that didn't stop me from throwing party because I just moved the location to my neighborhood or better yet my block.
     Young, wild and free to be. Whenever my mom left out of town, I would never want to go with her because I knew I would have the place to myself, so most of the time I stayed home and party, every chance I got, I partied.
      I still party but I know now that things are not the same anymore, I'm not single. I am married and we have three kids together. So most of my party now are kids birthday party but I still enjoy throwing a party every now and then, when I do get a chance, I live it, I love it and I enjoy it. Like I said before I don't have time for drama or B.S. So I'm just trying to make the best out of everyday I got because we will never know, when it is going to be our time to go. So live it and have a party..real talk

Life...........Everybody Gots A Story 2 Tell..........

" We all got a story but the only story that is wroth reading is a story that you can learn from." Simple, All men are created equal.~real talk~

    

       I'm not going to say that my story is better then anyone else story but my story is still my story. If I am making the time to write about my life then to me my story is worth telling. I can honesty say that I have came along way to be who I am today and is very proud to have turn out this way. I would never thought that I would ever be like this meaning people from the street, would call me a "square" but I am so proud to be a square because I'll never have to look over my shoulder anymore. Square is a street term for being a goody good or sometime boring person but I am find with that because people that are from the street or ghetto that call me that, don't really bother me.
       I have turn my lifestyle upside down and have become a square that I am very proud off because if anybody that have seen all the thing I have been through would never think that off me. Ever since I have moved to Washington state my goal was to not let anyone know about my past or how I use to be. I came out here to start a new life and to make a new me.
       I will not go into to much detail about how I use to be but all I can say is that I am not the same person that I use to be as a teenager but I don't think anyone of us really want to stay the same way forever. I knew that my lifestyle back then was not getting me anywhere and it was all bad. The street life was not the life I wanted for myself and being ghetto was not what I want people to think of me.
       People from the street would probably call me white wash now but like I say I don't really care what they think because street credit, I've learned is not a credit you would want as an adult. Ghetto talk and ignorant point of view on life was how we see things from the ghetto point of view. Most of us can't control our emotion and will act out in violent because that is the only way we know. I know now that it is not the best way to solve anything.
      I am grown, married and we have three kids together. I am now trying to give my kids all the opportunity that is out there and to teach them that they can be anything they want to be. I can tell you that I would never think that this is possible for people like me but I know now that anything is possible because it is truly up to us and us alone to make it but you have to understand what it take to get there.
      I have learned in order to make it anywhere in life you have to first understand where you are living and know your environment. Just like Tarzan the boy that was raise in the jungle by animal and became king of the jungle. Learn the enviorment and then adapt to it. I am from Laos but now live in America and so to become successful in America then I have to be American.
     The best thing about being in America is that you really never have to give up anything from your past if you don't want too because here you have all the freedom you need and that is why so many come here for that American dream. Crazy that you have people from around the world that dream of moving to America and that is all they really want. I am grateful everyday that I am here. I didn't understand it at first but now I know everything I need to know to make it here. Be American and understand the American value then the American dream is out there for the taking and this is real talk....

Don't Talk About It................Be About It...............

" Dreams is about seeing what others don't see. Making dreams real is what's life is about. So if you can't make it real then quit day dreaming because life is real.Dreams doesn't come easy for anybody, Dreams is about hard work and wanting it more then the next person.. Don't talk about it, Be about it." Simple, All men are created equal.~real talk~

         I'm don't like to just talk about it. I'm the type that like to be about it because I don't like wasting my time talking. Life' I get it, if I want something done then I have to do it. I live by this everyday from my home life to my work life. Do it, get it done and move on to the next thing.
         I don't understand people that complain about things not getting done. The way I look at it is that if you got time to complain about it, you got time to get it done. I never expect anyone to do anything for me because if anybody wants to do something for you then you don't have to ask them.
         I know my life is real and my dreams are real. Everyday I work harder to get closer to my dream. I never expect anyone to help or understand my dream because this is my dream and I get it, this is life. We all gotta live first and to make dreams happen then, you gotta make sacrifice. Dreams are not free or easy. Just take a look around and see how many people around you have dreams of their own but never take the action needed to make it real.
       We all have dreams but not everybody can make that dream real because dreams are not easy and life is harder when chasing that dream at the same time. We all just want to live comfortably to be happy but as for me. I have always told my wife, never get comfortable because when you get comfortable then you forget where you are going. Getting comfortable is easy and anybody can do that but chasing a dream while raising three kids with everyday bills is not.
       I know if I want my dream to happen it is going take a lot of hard work. Hard work for me is easy because giving up on my dream is even harder. If I can't give up on my dream then I know what I have to do. Hard work is not hard work when you enjoy doing it because when you love doing something it is a passion and passion is love. Doing something you love people around you will see it and know it. Don't talk about, just be about it....Simple.

90's..............Music... (Crazy Times, My Generation)

" It was good, sad, bad, happy and crazy times. M t.v, B.E.T, V.h.1, Rock & Roll, Grung, Gangster Rap, Pop, R & B, Country and can't forget the beeper that was before the cell phone.. Remember that. Crazy how time flies." Simple, All men are created equal.~real talk~

    Man, the 90's was some crazy times but I guess that every generation has it's times. I am glad that I am grown now but siting here  and  thinking back kinda makes me laugh about it sometime. Their was a lot of mix lifestyle back then and you can tell by all the different kinds of music that was out there. Most of us were just coming out of the 80's that was the Rock & Roll years.
    I was only 11 years old back in 1990 and it's funny sometime, when I look back. It doesn't feel likes it was that long ago but I know it was. Crazy how fast we grow and don't even know it. I was in the fourth grade and hair spray was still in style.
    Me and my family move to the United State in 1986. 1992 my mom left my dad and moved us children to Redding California. I never knew that their were so many Asian in America til I moved to California.
     This is my teenage years,Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre just made it big with their rap song" Nothing but a G thing" and that was it. California and West coast gangster rap made it to the big time. Gang lifestyle was a normal thing back then but I know now that it was the right thing but hey we live and we learn that's what life is about.
     Their were a lot of  good times and bad times. Gang lifestyle was everywhere but it's over now but the thing I miss most was the music. All the  music was very different back then.  I think today music all sound the same. You got rapper singing, Rocker rapping and all the music is now mix into one. Country/ Rap, R&B/ Rap, Pop/Rap, Rock/Rap, I mean don't get me wrong but it was a lot nicer when you can till the different about the music and the lifestyle but now everything sound the same.
    All music is good music that why there are so many kinds of music. Music is a personal choice, music doesn't not define who we are. Everybody got there own taste in music. I like to listen to just about everything. I like the 90's music because that was my generation and I like the fact that they were so many different kinds of music. Now almost everything sound the same but it's all good because we got YouTube, so we can always listen to what we want.
    This is a new generation now and every generation has its own style of music because I understand every generation will do their own thing but as for me I'm a 90's generation better yet Generation X or the M t.v generation. Whatever you might think about the 90's that is up to you but as for me it was about living life. We live, we learn and we grow up that's real talk....
