We Must Recognize

Junior year, Semester numero Uno i was on my wild crazy shit and going through some hard times. My roomate at the moment and good freind Daniel gave me a piece of advice and told me, " You should just try writing" so i did and it did help. So this is where this came from and i will warn everyone now that i am no writer and i dont write poetry so dont think its going to be a great piece. Its just something i wrote when i needed to just sit down and write. Well herre it goes,

Have you ever recognized your life from up above the sky, looking down on the blind, noticing that life is an up and down ride.
Realizing that we are molded from hard times and ignorant through good.
and to be the best we must understand when we are being misunderstood.
They may say we are fools but as we walk steady through the shaky road we will be rewarded by something greater then gold.
Maybe love, Sucseess, or a deeper happiness. watever it is, it will be to our satisfaction.

Cocky????Change?????

Chapter 1 ------- Cocky????? Change??????

It has been brought to my attention that I am cocky and to be honest I don’t know if she was right or wrong. Being Cocky is something I never wanted to be associated with but for some reason I think I have become just that, or maybe im just confident. I’ve been running this question through my head all night and morning. Which one is it? Cocky or confident and were is the line drawn and how would I know which one I am. Could it be that too much confidence is seen as cocky in people eyes, because I for one believe cockiness’ is associated with a mixture of arrogance and confidence and I know for one, that I am not arrogant. So why would I be considered cocky. Well I do talk a lot of shit on the courts but that’s just the way I play ball. I’ve always been an emotional player who plays with more heart then anyone on the court. I also understand that to keep myself in the game playing well I must have a high moral so I constantly compliment myself. For example, “ Damn, whos that Spanish nicca shooting the lights off this bitch” lol. That’s is deff. One of my lines. Well looking back at the way I play ball I can understand why a girl would think im cocky. Maybe I should play differently when girls are around. Matter of fact maybe not. I am deff not taking away from my fun, I luv my shit talking on court and its deff. Entertainment.

Maybe I should stop flexing, I know im always flexing and im constantly being told that but its hard for me not to appreciate the hard work ive put in the gym. The countless hours and numerous times I pushed myself off the bed and told myself its all up to you Gilbert. DAMN!!!!!!!!! While Writing this I have discovered something about me. I think im Cocky. Well Fuck it. I still feel that im a different type of cocky, Im one that has been proud of my achievements because I wasn’t given anything easy. Everything im good at wasn’t naturally given like most people. Its been my drive and determination that has allowed me to feel this happiness about myself and I deff rather be cocky then depressed. So this is Cocky Gil of 09…….Every semester I deff do transform into something better and more exciting and for those who feel that people never change, hey stupid, they do. They just need to want it for themselves and you cant force it on them. So I guess the Qoute of the day is………

Change cannot be force upon a person by another, they must first want it themselves and then they will change for the better or maybe the worse, we choose our own faith remember that.
