" I have a dream"



Such like when Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “I have a dream…” Well I have a dream to own my own small company every since my uncle, Greg started owning many small companies that failed but succeeded in the beginning. However, he is now owner of Darvi, soccer apparel, which has sky rocketed. It is already a done deal that later it will be in all Macys, but already is selling all over the US in many small stores. He has inspired me to be more, think crazy, don’t care if people or family thinks you’re crazy. If you think it is a good idea, go ahead then if money comes in they will all want some piece in it. He knows this himself because it happened to him more than once. Mr. Sutherland himself has told me to start my own business in my shoe art since he saw what I did to Juhi’s shoes. He said he sees me as a millionaire but hey if I get money its good I don’t have to be a millionaire.
I love drawing. I think it’s a genetic thing. My dad is a very good artist and I didn’t grow up with him, for him to teach me. My mom can’t draw to save her life, neither does my brother. When I was a kid not even 3 the only think you would see me do was watching Barney and drawing. The one thing that I always did which was funny was when I started to fall in love with my porter-potty and thought that I can use it anywhere. You would always see me using my porter-potty in front of the TV while Barney was on and I was doodling. Drawing is the one ways I relief my o f stress and express ,my feelings.
I think I can start an online shoes art thingy. It could be in any sort of canvas shoes. That either one can send me their shoes or I can buy them but at a higher price. I can take orders of what one wants on their shoes, I can give you a bunch of pics to choose from, or I can give you a survey to know what not to put and what to put on your shoes. .
I will like to pass out flyers with pics of the recent shoes I have done around school. I want people to know my shoe art around school. Juhi is my secretary she comes in handy when it comes to some stuff. She was my first customer. I really like her shoes, she does too, her sister does too and many other people that saw me painting them in Reno. Sutherland will have to take a afternoon to teach me how to make a cool website for my shoe art. For a name I have marx, j-project, pickme’s. I want a nice simple catchy name. So be in the look for my project.

Many poeple have been thinking on what will happen...

Many poeple have been thinking on what will happen in the year of 2012. I have been wondering very much about this topic. I have talked to my mom and my very religious christian aunt, that thinks that we will all dye. My aunt and her church is very scared and has been praying 24/7. They should be like, oh yeah hey god is calling for us, it's time for our death, lets be thankful. But no, they are scared shit less. You see no one is ready for their death when it comes to someone telling them that there death is in this such date and at this such time. I say screw this shit. If we are going to dye and there is nothing to do about it well hey we are going to dye. Lets live our last days, months, years, the way we want to. If this is all bullshit, then you wasted nothing maybe years of school, but you had fun.
It says that the Mayans have thought this all out and set it in stone, right? They seemed to be right in everything else they have predicted. It's scary shit! How can a group of people know so much about the future? How can they be so right and have dates for them. They call it DOOMS DAY! Sound pretty scary for me. It makes me wonder what could happen? Will our earth collide with another neighboring planets? Will the sun explode on us? Will there be fire everywhere? Will the earth eat itself up?
I'm my head I picture a lot of chaos in this world all around not just to humans, to every species.
I see the world falling apart. I'll descrive it....
The ground as we see it will crack. Everything is falling down through the crack in the floor. In the oceans there are swirls are all over. Marine animals are screaming scared while there are swirling through that whole where the water is going through. Everything is going through a whole or crack leading to the center of the earth. There are a bunch of people screaming and running around. I see everyone smashing into stores taking food and other things. People going mad in the streets beating up everyone. People running in many directions thinking they are running in the right direction of surviving. Like a place they think is safe. I see kids lost in the streets crying because they have lost their parents. People don't care about those kids. The cracks is taking down people, animals, and such in with them. People out thanking god for the time of there death. People screaming to the skies, at god for a reason of such a horror. People crying all over. That's how I picture it.
It could be very different. There could be nothing going on in 2012. This could all be mumble jumble. But its funny to think of death when you are not ready for it. All we can do is enloy our time and hope for the best. Well maybe.....

Useless Humans!

This is all in my opinion, you don't have to agree with it. Just making this clear.
Humans are useless. Humans evolved from 'animals'. We have gone from all four to just two. From having little knowledge to having more and more. From having a little population to having a bigger one, then bigger one and an even bigger one, well you get the idea. It got really big as you know now. We followed the code of survival for first billions years more or less. To just getting out of line little...Well, then a little more than getting out of line as the years passed.
We humans are a disgrace to nature.In my words the way the bible states that we were put here to serve and protect the animals, then the scientist say that we evolved from animals from being a vegan to being a carnivore. Isn't that wrong? These two give us different facts, confusing ones too! I know I get confused. I believe a little bit of both. I don't necessarily lean into one religion. Hey, maybe i will in the future but all I want is to learn all the different types of religions from different people then choose, or not.
Humans have caused nothing but a big mess in this world. We all have seen or to say felt what mother earth feels about us. I think she has regretted ever having us on her and put so much cements, buildings, and such on her. I know I would if I was her. Wouldn't you hate it if you let some people live in your house with you, then all of a sudden they bring more people, then they just create a bundle of ciaos and leave trash on the floor on purpose?
We have created massacres against each other. We have reject people of our own kind just because of our different skin colors. Some how like when a dog has pups they all come out a different colors. Do you ever see the pups care? No, they don't care. Dogs of different kinds; huskies, German shepherds, chihuahuas, whiner dogs, poodles, sheep dogs, golden retrievers, etc. You always see them mating with each other. The only reason there are pure breed dogs is because humans have forced dogs to mate with their own breed, which is WRONG! They should also have freedom of choosing their own mate like most humans.
We, humans, have created 'societies' that don't care about one another. We are all selfish bastards down inside, some more than others. We all forgot the reason why we are here in mother earth. We decided to build more building for OURSELVES TO LIVE A BETTER LIFE. We have created earth damaging contraptions. We all of a sudden decided to put CEMENT on top of our expanding earth floor. That's kinda of saying, I don't like this because it makes me fall, sweat, jump, leap, travel long distances and short in a long period of time. SO, we decided to MAKE earth more suitable for OURSELVES not thinking of the others who inhabit this earth. We are not at the top of food chain! Put on of us out there with no weapons, we will surely lose.
We have done equal damage to the animals in this earth. We have been chopping down there home because WE WANT paper, MORE HOUSES AND OTHER STUFF LIKE THAT. We have them in display dried up and what not. We have them in our backyards being abused. We have them in the side of the roads dead, shredded, with wheel tracks on them. We also have them in circus' doing tricks for OUR entertainment. Is that fair? HELL THE FUCK NO! Would you like to be in his of her place? We even have hunting as a SPORT!! SERIOUSLY, What the hell man?!
Is that enough damage for you to understand why we are the TRASH in this amazing earth? THAT'S JUST PARTIAL OF THE F'N TRUTH I show you.

I Reached Heaven

As I was doing my work in the fields, gathering that hay and rolling it into a roll, I pictured myself jumping them all like if I had superman's high jumping ability. I pictured it so good that everyday at work I would check out how I could jump one. It started to be my goal. That was the main reason I even go to work. Being payed such low wages at harsh conditions. I also tell me self to have a little fun here and there. So as you can see I had an idea of a very, VERY fun idea in mind!
During the week of my planing I gathered 2 of my best childhood friends to help me out with my AWESOME idea. They agreed and contributed there ideas. In that week we noticed that there was a curtain day and curtain time where there seems to be NO people around to see what is happening out in the fields. We came up with an ingenious plan of jumping the hay roll while they take the picture. One of them, Steve, was in charge of figuring out how i would jump the hay roll. The other one, Randy, was in charge of taking the picture all because he owned a camera and he knew how to work it. We decided to do this the week after we planned it. Everything was ready for Friday 4 o'clock to come around already.
All of a sudden Friday came. I actually decided to dress up nicely for this. I grabbed my Sunday clothes and left. I saw Steve there with a bunch of papers. They were all crumbled and ready to go. He told me he calculated everything. I asked for Randy, but he wasn't there. So instead of waiting for Randy just sitting around. We decided to test out Steve's calculations. He found out I was shorter that what he thought. Which was sad to hear. Randy came and we had fixed all problems. We had some tricks up our sleeves.
I was ready to jump...I jumped with a cheesy smile on my face. I saw jumped I felt like if I have reached heaven. I felt as light as a feather. However as I was falling down I realized I was going to land on top of the hay roll. I actually said, " Oh shit, stop drop and ROLL!" I did. Then I hear from Randy saying I got the pic. I was exited to see what we actually took a pic of. And that is our result, the time where I felt I reached heaven.

Difficult Decision

I have been talking to my mom lately to see what she can help with in this project. She started telling me a lot of her ideas and what i should and should not write about. She told me a lot of her childhood stories back in Mexico and when she came to the US. I was paying a lot of attention as always when it comes to her real story telling. I have found out that my uncle Gregorio had to make a difficult decision between him and my sister. I was really intrigued so I thought I would blog about this, because it really relates to this project's number two question:
A difficult decision:Have you had to choose between yourself and a loved one? Who did you choose and why?
It's not really a decision I had to take, but my uncle had to.
The people in this story:
- Bertha is my grandmother.
- Javier is my grandfather.
- Gregorio, my uncle, when he was 6 years old.
- Veronica, my mother, when she was 8 years old.
-Jaime, my uncle, when he was a baby.
(Based on a real story)

It happens back in Tizapan el alto Jalisco, Mexico. In a little poor house that contain a big family of six, The Ramirez Family. They were a very poor family with very little income. The money they had was only used to pay bills and buy their food. If there was any money left they were able to buy clothing. Bertha would always leave her daughter with all her siblings and all the chores to do, while she goes off to work. Javier would leave to a hard intensive labor with their oldest son for months then come back with some money, but not much.
Bertha would leave money for Veronica on the table so she could go but the groceries. Veronica has always known about their money issues even though she was eight years old. She would only spend the money on what they needed and nothing else. She knew that if she wanted to buy some gum she would get beat for spending on something that was not in the grocery list. She went on doing everything her mother told her do just so she wont get beat.
One day Bertha left some money in her room. She left to work. Veronica was doing her daily chores. Cooking the meals for her four siblings. Her father, Javier ,had left to work out in the farms. Veronica took her three siblings to school. She was left with her baby brother.
The afternoon came along and Bertha came back home after a long day at work. She went to her bedroom to stash all her money under her mattress. She found out she was missing some money. She got very upset. She rampaged toward Veronica as bull going for the red towel. She started yelling, "Veronica! You took my money! How are you able to steel money from your own mother, when you know we are poor?!" Veronica answered, " I did not take any money from you. All I did today was feed the kids and dad, take them to school, finish the chores, and take care of Jaime." Bertha said, "Stop lying to me! You were the only one in here! Don't tell me your baby brother took it!" Veronica crying responded, " I didn't. I promise."
A couple minutes passed. They kept on going back and forth with the same thing. After a while Bertha told Veronica, " I am becoming inpatient with you! I would rather kill you than go homeless!" Veronica started to cry even more. Bertha got a rope and tied it to a pipe in the ceiling and started to hang Veronica, yelling, " You tell me where that money is or you will die!" Veronica denied everything.Bertha hanged her. Veronica was turning red.
Gregorio walked in the door and noticed what was happening. Quickly, he tackle Bertha and put Veronica down. Gregorio was crying and kept saying," My little sister. Oh my little sister!" Veronica was not dead she was just somewhat hurt. Bertha got up and grabbed both them and hanged both of them. Bertha said, " Oh yeah, your little sister. Oh your little sister. Now both of you are going to answer me...where is my money?!" They started turning purple. Bertha was still yelling for her money. Gregorio not able to breathe said, " I...I have it...It's in my boot!" She put them down, grabbed her money and went in her room.
Veronica asked Gregorio, "Di you really take the money?" Gregorio answered, "No, that was the money I made today from polishing shoes after school." Veronica with a face saying a million times thank you, hugged him.
He took the blame for something he did not do. 'Til this day the thief is still unknown.
Since that day both new that they should never screw up that bad and they never looked at there mother the same way.

Haiti's Loss and Our Loss

In Wall Street Wizard, my investments program, we had a homework assignment. It was: Prove or disprove why Haiti is a $375,000,000 loss?
I thought I should prove this because if I try to disprove this it would be to hard knowing in my head that there is no possible way to prove this.

Haiti was found by Christopher Columbus in December 5, 1942. Then colonized by the French. In 1791, the Africans revolted under the direction of Francois Toussaint L'overture. In 1804, after years of bitter and bloody battle, the slaves forced the French to flee the island. The former slaves then formed the first independent black nation. There had been many great black kingdoms in Africa, but never before had a black government replaced a white colonial government. Haiti's recent age average is 15-65 years. Haiti is a place full of riches. It contains nice weather, food, people,etc. It is a place loved by tourist.

I have seen on tv many fundraisers for Haiti. They have donated a lot of money! There has been plenty of them going on. I have heard on the radio that regular people have donated. They all go to charities such as the red cross and others. Basically, it all ends up saying that America has donated this much money. From my mother and father I have heard that Mexico has donated the most money out of all the world. To think that all of the people in Mexico want to come o the US to earn more money because the majority of the people there are poor. It's just odd to hear that. Back on topic, Knowing that the world aiding the damages of Haiti's earthquake disaster.

Think of this the earthquake left a major disaster on a place most visited place by EVERY tourist in the world. People are going to want to rebuild a place they have loved to go to. That means that every one in the wold will be donating money to aid Haiti one way or another. In my opinion it's all going to be one big match to see what country could donate the most money without breaking the bank. Countries will not be donating just measly hundred of dollars. That is not enough. It wont be million of dollars that's still not enough. we are talking BILLIONS of dollars, no doubt. It would come out to be a global lost of around 2.7 billion. To me it's like the time when Russia was the first to go to the moon. America thought they were the best world wide and they were going to beat them and they gave more years of science to school. There for having the best space and science center.

At the end they wont receive all the money sent to help the people damaged by the earthquake. Building will be fully restored but not all. Some ,but not many houses will be built for the people. Food has been sent and that will for sure be given to the people. The plan we should be working on is the long term sustainable projects! That is key! Help the needy when they are 'old news' to people. When they should be helped more that ever and give tons of medicine. At east pay the doctors some way because they have out there volunteering.
