Letter to my 15 year old self

Dear Joseph, Happy 15th Birthday!!!

This is your 22 year old version of your self. Life is pretty good right now but i would like to leave you with some Suggestions.

1. For Computer Science you did pick the right field and even thought this semester is really hard you will get better. Learn perl, objective-c, and Low level c and your life will be so much easier. trust me because when it is 2011 you will need at least perl and c. The objective c is for the IPhone apps which will make you a lot money. Oh by the way a IPhone is a phone that can do pretty much most things a computer can do and will come out in a year, and in 2 years Android(a operating system) will come out for other phones don't worry its in java!

2. Oh and get out of Science and Engineering Academy it pretty much just waste your time from taking other better classes. You can still take all the same class but you now get to choose your classes instead of having most of them forced on you. Also start taking choir as soon as you can its a really fun class and you will make a lot of friends.

3. Tell mom not to buy the mustang and get a more efficient car(civics, the civics from your time seem to have made it to my time) because the price of gas is going to go up really high. as for your car i don't want to ruin the surprise ;)

4. as for girls situation, this will get kinda confusing so i will give you some time lines to follow
(a) Sense this is your 15 birthday you should have already have met this one and already have a small crush on her. she is tall so i am sure you know who i am talking about. ask her out the day before the Christmas break i believe this is your best time. Though she will have a small problem with your atheism, so figure that out i can't help you on that one.
(b) This next girl you don't really know. But as from what i understood from a conversation you had with her in like 4 year you had a chance. She said she like you around the time right after she left Robert your friend. She is the best friend of the girl you call Dot. I think you meet her at Dot's Birthday party. Get Her number and ask her out! I think y'all would be very compatible, i know this because several years later we became really close friends but you have to ask fast because the chance will close up.
(c) At the start of your Soft-more year you meet a girl in quart yard, She will just come up too you and give you her number. Now you might think how will i know which one is that on. I have to break the bad news to you, this does not happen to you once in all of high school(there you go live with that). She is really cool but can be a little flaky at times. I think you should really wait for someone else if you know what i mean.
(d) This next Girl is really sweet, she is from La Grange Texas. You will meet her near the end of your schooling at (Spoiler Alert!) Northwest Vista College though you do not meet her there. She Loves vanilla so bring her something with a lot of it!
(e)Oh when you go to France for the first time you meet a red head with green eyes. you should see if you can go out with her the next night because all you end up doing is messaging her on Myspace every once in a while but then loose contact. So ya have some fun!
So there you go Pick one and go with it. Though i do warn you I have no clue what happens if you wore to pick more then just one. So tred lighlty my friend.

Relating to People

For the past year many of my friends have been coming to me for some pretty bad stuff that is either happening to them or has happen to them in the past. I am glad that my friends see me as a person that they can go to during hard times, but i have notice they don't seem to satisfied about what ever talk they have with me. The problem is i have a hard time relating with people because i never really had to go through a hard time in; my life has been pretty steady going up till now. I'm not trying to brag but i really wish i could identify with people that are going through hard times because i feel helpless for them. I will list some of the bad stuff in my life and you will probably think "that's not that bad" and i would say "Exactly!!!" my life really has not had its fair share of hardships.

When i was in the 7th grade my mom made me move from San Antonio to some small racist town called Glade Water TX. it was a small racist town very different from San Antonio. There was nothing to do and no one to really talk to. The reason why i really hated this is because when i tried to apply at TAMS(Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) the Glade water middle school lost my records and ruined my chances of going to the high school i dreamed of going to.

Matter in fact i think that probably one of the worst things other then a few heart breaks(one really big one) but that all seems so small compared to some of the problems my friend face. I don't know what to do about it but i try and do what i can for them and hope for the best.

P.S. By the time i finished this blog Steve Jobs had passed away. I might have not have like his tactics and some of the software, but i did look up to him for pushing technology and opening the door for small developers. Also Let not forget Dennis Ritchie The inventor of C and contributed greatly to Operating Systems and all forms of computing.

2 Months


Well its been 2 months sense i last posted a blog and i was trying to do one every 2 weeks but not to many thing have happen these past 2 months. Finally i just got enough stuff to make a full blog.

Lets start off with February mainly Valentines day. The night before Valentines day i was scrabbling to find 5 yellow tulips for a girl i didn't even know the name of (more on the girl in a little bit). You would thing sense its the night before Valentines most flower shops would be low on roses and have pretty much every other flower. Well i guess their strategy is through all the other flowers out and buy a ton of roses which probably works well for everyone else case but not mine. I finally found this place near medical center that had 5 orange Tulips(This was okay sense i could not find yellow). The reason why i didn't go with roses is because that seems like flower you would get someone you wore actually dating, and tulips are my favorite flower too. This girl is a work-study in the building next to the one i work in and we would wave at each other and say hi every now and then. I usually like to get someone something special every year even though i get every girl i see that day something i like to get one of them something more. I went to give her the flowers and she seemed to like them and i actually got a name, but i didn't get a number but i think if i talked a little more maybe i could have. I was a little nervous so i went a little to fast. Anyways i haven't talked to her sense then either i have been 2 busy or when i go to visit she is not working at the moment. Below is a picture of the flowers i got for her
Spring break, it has been mostly boring but had a few fun day. For one a good friend of my came to visit from Baltimore and i have not seen her in like 7 months. Tuesday night i went to the hookah bar with my friends and caught up from the stuff that happens to use during the semester, we tend to be busy or out of town so we don't seem much of each other. Next on the list is St.Patty's Day i had a blast hung out with my friends and drank a little, Hope to do it again soon.

First Blog of the Year!

I know its a little late into the year for the first blog but hey i been busy. New years was pretty fun i got to hang out with friends at the Bonham Exchange. We had a blast but had to take a Taxi home; it was a little expensive but was not so bad when we split the bill. I also had new years day day off to spend it with a few friends at their house.
News of my life for the first 2 weeks of the year. is pretty boring for others but i am excited because Boxee is back! :D i use to love to watch her like 2 years ago and had a great show on youtube, and actually one of my new years revolution is to start my own show, weather people like it or not i don't care its mainly for me and to take up time. Also this past two weeks i thought of someone different but its kinda weird so I will see what happens with that; probably nothing will happen (like always) but hey you can always have hope RIGHT!

Links to my favorite shows on youtube order did not matter:

Philip De Franco show - http://www.youtube.com/user/sxephil

Philip De Franco Show is the first of the Youtube shows i watched i have been fallowing this show for 3 years now. The show is hosted by Philip De Franco a guy somewhat the same age as me, and his shows are usually a comical view on the major events of the day. He commonly has little segments in the show like Megan Fox watch, Douche bag of the day, BAMF(bad ass Motherfucker) of the day, and Fail Friday. To this day the only ones that stick are douche bag of the day and its counter part BAMF of the day. The show is Monday through Thursday and sometimes Friday(Fail Friday).

Boxee Recently just came back after 2 years of not being on the web. Deleting her old videos it is somewhat hard to find her original videos but if you look "boxee the original" you can at least see 1 of her new shows. Originally made popular by Philip from the Philip De Franco show she gain like 50000 followers in one day. It played by a girl who goes by the name Boxee and is know for being a wacky meme on the web. This past week she posted her first video in over 2 years saying she might come back to the web. I really hope she comes back!

Sex+ Pronounced "sex positive" is a show hosted the lovely Laci Green. The show revolves around positive sex and relationship advice by answering viewers question and/or her own life experiences. Laci teaches Sexual education to the youth in her area being student her self she does not always has the time do do her videos. She was mentioned on the show Philip De Franco Show but was popular before the publicity. Her shows are usually on Saturday with a occasional "mid week quickie."

LinzLoves is a Vlog/Show posted by Linzey. Her shows are the closest to a "Vlog" because they tend to revolve around her life and personal experiences but sometimes does do reviews on products. Being the girlfriend of Philip of Philip De Franco show her channel tends to get many hit and even sometimes has Philip on the show.

When i eventually start my own show i would like it to have News but also personal experience so somewhere between the Philip De Franco show and LinzLoves show. I plan to start this somewhere in the month of May due to the fact that is my most free month. So Stayed Tuned!!!
