Actions speak louder than words A simple phrase can live with someone for years with an action behind it. Promises to me are sacred. They’re something i won’t do to get myself out of a tight spot. I try my absolute hardest to make sure that when i do give a promise, i can actually fulfill it.   However, for there are many who do not have the same set of morals as i do, it doesn’t mean as much or hardly anything at all. Words are meaningless without action. With action, words come to life and imprint themselves in your very being. If you’re in a relationship that the word “love” is constantly flung around, what does it mean anymore? Saying it so often takes away the meaning, strips it of it’s important ties to our emotions, so why do it?

We think that it assures the other person or perhaps yourself that you believe in what you say, but who knows unless we see action? They say they love you, but do they remind you without words? They say they’ll meet up with you someday, but do you actually meet up with them? What’s the point? Or maybe you say things because they sound pretty, will make them happy. Here’s the blunt truth made specially from uniquely me: I don’t love you,  i don’t hate you, and i’ll never meet up with you.  So the truth hurts, how about the embarrassment and hurt from finding out you’ve been lied to all along? Fast and quick like a band aid makes the pain less, makes it over quicker. Get something off your chest, go at it. If you know you don’t love someone, please don’t hurt them more and lie to them. “Talk the talk, walk the walk.” It’s all too irritating to hear someone talk about punching someone else in the face 24/7 when you know they won’t. If you’re not going to do it, please just shut your mouth.  I hope that people will actually make their promises come true, keep people from disappointment, follow their words with action. If you’re not brave enough to do the action, then you’re not worth the words.

Don’t try on words and see how they fit in the long run. If they’re too big, work out and fit into them. Work hard to make promises come true. How can you judge a man entirely? If you’re thinking of appearance, of their look on the outside…  Consider the following: Beauty fades, truth is forever. You judge a man by how well he holds his words, how well he holds you with sincerity.
If you throw around words like: love and hate, what does that say about you? Don’t trash the language that makes beautiful literature, don’t trash trust for the future generation. Words are meant for communication, why would you waste time, words, on someone you don’t even love or hate?  I hope to help bring back the meaning of words. Instead of separating them from actions, they’d coincide in perfect harmony. Both working to change the world together. In this time however, it seems impossible to even conceive the idea of a world leader that’s sincere in his words.

Words isn’t what changed the world… actions changed the world. Actions change every single one of us everyday.

Embrace your words. Make your dreams come true. Tell yourself you’ll make your future bright and then do it. Try your hardest, don’t run away from your problems, you promised.

REST IN PEACE

Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

Michael Jackson had a huge impact on our lives here, and we’ve played his music in good times and bad. We’ve been in awe of him doing the Moonwalk; if your old enough you watched him grow up before your eyes. Though his career faltered in his later years, his contributions will not be forgotten and are appreciated. And I don’t care if you do or you don’t appreciate him, this next couple of days and weeks he’s going to sent off to the next plane with lots of media coverage, and shown much respect because he is the King of Pop Music.

When I found out I was in a Faith bookstore with my girl Shelli. And she received a phone call from her Dad telling her what had happened. She told me and I couldn’t believe it. Thinking it was a joke. He called back and confirmed it. I then had multiple people telling me as well. I needed to be in front of a TV or GOOGLE. This was around 7ish and when I got home….I was so sadden.

This month has been hard. The passing of my Grandma (RIP NANA) -

along with RIP Ed McMahon, David Carradine, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays.

Thank you, now beat it if you disagree, I couldn’t careless.

One thing that has been invading my mind lately is why people write for other people on their blogs. It’s no longer an online journal for you. It’s a journal for a million other people that you write specifically to. No longer is it your release, your entity on a page, but a message for a million other people you’ve never met. Hopefully they’ll like this incessant garbage about “What a real blogger does” or “What does a guy really like in a girl” and maybe you’ll get a couple eprops and “like OMG get featured”. Firstly, eprops are absolutely abused and secondly, WTF ARE EPROPS, I mean really. They’re worthless. Why do people crave this sort of recognition? I think I can safely assume almost every single person that joined this site did it for themselves, not for other people.

So, I guess what I’m asking is, do we gradually live our lives, partake in our actions, and guide our souls, for other people? Because, it’s not just on blogs we do this with, it’s our entire lives… To what extent do we finally reclaim our lives?

And of course there are always those who disagree.

“Behold, children are a gift of the Lord”, is taken from PSALM 127:3.

Today… was a great day. I work with students right now who have symptoms and are diagnosed with Autism, and different PDDs. Normally while students wait for their school bus. They have time to play on the play scape/jungle gym.  SO this one student who is not in my classroom shows me a little gift that another teacher gave him since she’ll be leaving. He continues to jump and slide down the slide and pole and I asked him “sweetie why don’t you let me hold it so you can play” he hands it to me and smiles, i reply back with, “Thanks sweetie – this way you wont lose it”. He stops and smiles and says “thanks for calling me sweetie”. I asked him, ” is that okay- that i call you that?” he replied “oh yes- it makes me very happy” and gives me the BIGGGGGEST SMILE ever.

As teachers we have a role to be on going learners and teachers that care for all children. Our job isn’t just from 8-3. Our Job continuously on going- just by simply talking to a child can brighten their day – when you have good intentions. I care about all children and after working with students with special needs i can see how smart, and driven they are to learn and explore things (but i’ve always known this). Especially after a long day of routine and lessons- sometimes a student just needs you to talk with them so they can see that you love and care about their well being.

Hearing those words of appreciation from him today makes what i do priceless. these are memories i will never ever forget for the rest of my life.
