how could I forget

I remember the way you looked at me.. 

I remember that feeling of falling.

I remember saying my first swear word because of you and how good it felt coming out of my mouth.

I remember the lies you told me.

I remember the best way to get to your house.

I remember your favorite color, your birthday, and your favorite movie.

I remember watching that movie with you..

I remember our first kiss and how good it felt.

I remember the night you left angry.

I remember how mad I was that you would do that to me. 

I remember moving on and not caring anymore.

 I remember forgetting your birthday.

I remember all the bad times and none of the good.

I remember forgetting how good that kiss felt.

I remember forgetting where you lived and what your favorite color was

Then I see you and...

I remember.

The Road Not Taken

BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

How to fly

First off you go get on your roof

then you walk over to the edge 

Finally you bend your knees and jump..

Your body will just seem to float and you are basically weightless as you move towards the clouds and next thing you know you are flying through the sky with no worries, no one to judge you, no one to tell you what to do because YOU are flying..

You look down and you're high above the rest of the world and you think you can fly forever, but you cant. You see some of your friends below and you go to wave but they shoot something at you. You cant quit see what it is but it is coming at you fast. You start to fall flaring your arms as your helpless body plummets towards the earth. You quickly close your eyes and brace for impact, but it does not come.

You open your eyes and you are now on the ground looking up at the beautiful blue sky. You smile and try to get up, but your body seems to weigh a million pounds. You look at your arms and your legs and you realize that you are being held down..

People you know teachers, coaches, and some friends see you and start to come over.. you start to relax but those so called friends start to nail you to the ground with words. "your not good enough." "you can't do that!" "your not different." "why even try you will never get it!" "you are terrible" "you suck" You scream "get the heck off of me!!" But they don't, and then they hit that last word into your chest and then they are gone...

Day soon becomes night and you still lay there with those words nailed to your chest. All you can think is Why.. why.. why  did they shoot you down and why did they nail you to the ground! You then realize that you let them shoot you down. And you cant live like this... So you start to tell yourself that you are worth it and you can do it!

You notice that you can now start to move so you continue to tell yourself you can do it and you believe yourself. You are now inches above the ground and you are climbing.. 

You shout for joy and you realize that no one can tell you what you are or what you can do. 

You can do anything! 

YOU CAN FLY....

Blackout

NOT on my mind

YOU are NOT on my mind.. I DON'T think about you at school, in the car, at home, on vacation, and I DON'T think about you in THAT movie. I'm sitting here at this computer right now..

And I'm NOT thinking about you like bodybuilders think about weights, like Lil Wayne thinks about being great, like girls think about that first date. I'm NOT thinking about you like water thinks about flowing, like snow thinks about snowing, like rowers think about rowing, like trucks think about towing. I'm NOT thinking about you like phones think about calling, like D rose thinks about balling, like birds think about falling. I'm NOT thinking about you like pens think about writing, like fighters think about fighting, like couples think about fighting (because seriously that is all we did when we were together.)

I'm NOT thinking about you like bees think about honey, like Mike Tyson thinks about his loss of money, like Bryan Reagan thinks about being funny, like the sun thinks about being sunny. I'm NOT thinking about you like sushi thinks about the soy sauce, like Bruce Springsteen thinks about being the "BOSS," like you thought you were the boss (Ha).

I'm NOT thinking about you like legs think about walking, like parrots think about mocking, like you think about talking, (like oh my gosh... sometimes you just didn't know when to SHUT UP) I'm NOT thinking about you like flies think about flying, like everyone thinks about dying, like ties think about tying, like girls think about buying.. buying anything and everything they can get there hands on.

I'm NOT thinking about you like Music thinks about notes, like wake boarders think about awesome boats, like healthy people think about hole grain oats. I'm NOT thinking about you like Deserts think about the rain, like Bruce Wayne thinks about destroying Bane, like you thought WE were an unbreakable chain (Ha.. well news flash we BROKE)

Just thought I would let you know that...
I'm NOT thinking about texting to you.
I'm NOT thinking about calling you.
I'm NOT thinking about falling for you.
I'm NOT thinking about watching THAT movie with you.

I'M NOT THINKING ABOUT YOU!!

Space

I sit in my desk doing what everyone calls spacing off. I think about nothing and everyone says what are you thinking about and I cant answer because I am not thinking about anything hence the word space.. Even though I tell them I'm not thinking about anything they insist for me to tell them and I can't. So I make up a lie about how I was thinking about football just so they would leave me alone.

They finally leave me alone and I get to go back to my space that has become so comfortable to me now...

My bones

There she is siting in that chair looking beautiful as ever. Her hair rests perfectly over her right shoulder. I sit in the corner quietly my bones shaking trying to get me to go over there and talk to her. I don't know what to do I cant even breath when I look at her how the heck am I suppose to talk to her...? But I cant deny the feeling that my bones are giving me so I stand.. 

As I take my first step I literally almost fall on my face, but I recover and take that second step. I'm afraid my heart is going to jump right out of my body at any moment and I cant even swallow. I feel like I have been walking forever.. I finally get to her desk and I say the only thing that comes to my mind, "hey.. how are you?" 

Your time is OUT

                                          




DEATH is so weird. It is so weird because as teenagers we all think we are invincible and we can't be hurt and we can't die. But that is not true.. DEATH IS REAL and it happens everyday. When people think of death I think most people think of physical death. But there is emotional death that happens as well. Like when you break up with someone.. That is sometimes a very painful death..

What would you do if you knew you were going to die soon... If you only had a year left to live would you be afraid of asking that girl out? Would you be afraid of failing? Would you be afraid of falling? Would you be afraid of stealing? Would you fear anything...

Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

I came across this incredible quote when I was watching the movie Coach Carter. And I find this quote to be so true.. Say if you win a few times at something, that puts a lot of pressure on you to continue to be good and powerful so you might want it to stop. Also if we are inadequate we have something to strive for. 
If we are powerful we have responsibilities to use that power for good and that is not always easy for most people. 
This quote really changed the way I think about fear. When people usually think of FEAR they think of scary movies or ghosts never do they think of the fear of being great.

Uses of a brick

To throw at people, kill someone, build with, to trap the big bad wolf, to smash potatoes, to knock out windows, to pass a message around, to use as a massager, to look through, to jump on, to use as a stepping stool, to make a car go automatically, to sit on, to write with, to SMAHS THIS COMPUTER WITH, to play catch with, to use as a book mark, to use as a IPod, to use as a hot tub if the brick was huge, to roll your muscles out with, to lift, to sink people with, to use as a ipod dock, to wake you up in the morning, to break lights, to work out, to play games, to use as a gift, to hold someones head before they get executed.

Love

What is Love? I will tell you exactly what love is! Love is painful and worthless in HIGH SCHOOL!!!! All love is, is a waste of time and money on a girl who then decides she wants to move on to someone else. Girls are so deceiving and they say all these things about how awesome you are and how good looking you are and your so kind blah blah blah. All of this is just to prove a point that they could easily get you whenever they wanted. But hey I am not saying that all girls are like this actually most girls aren't like this, but unfortunately for guys like me there are some girls who love to play this game.

Don't get me wrong Love is great if you find the right person. But the hard part is finding the right person....

CREATIVITY

I miss the smell of crayons..... I miss the way adults look at me when I tell them the square on my paper is actually a starship getting ready to take off... I miss putting on a red cape and then becoming superman... I miss pretending to be a spy on a secret mission for the president... I miss my best friend Dunston who was a monkey... I miss my CRAYONS...

I miss being in the NBA finals with Michael Jordan and hitting the game winning shot... I miss being the first kid to climb Mt Everest... I miss seeing animals in the clouds... I miss coming up with new games... I miss pretending the ground was hot lava... I miss being the fastest person in the world... I miss my CRAYONS...

I miss being the First KID on the moon... I miss being INVINCIBLE... But most of all I miss my CRAYONS...

Am I Human??

I get up in the morning and I feel my heart pound and think of sleeping in, but my body has something else in mind.. Before I know it I have already brushed my teeth and am now getting out of the shower. I think of maybe skipping breakfast and then the next thing I know I'm over a plate of eggs and fruit. 

Am I human??  I just sometimes feel like I am a program... (TRON)
Well if I am not a robot then what the heck am I??

Jerome Jenkins

Jerome Jenkins is an actor from my favorite movie Like Mike 2. Oh ya that movie is freaking SMOOTH!!!!! Instead of like the first movie Like Mike 2 takes place in the streets #Gangsta. That is the reason I chose Jerome to be my blog name because he is a gangster Just like this blog.




Many people would not guess this, but I actually like to write and read all sorts of stuff. From poetry, to fantasy, to biographies It is just something I love doing! So I am kind of excited to write my stuff down and show it to the world... well maybe not the world, but the class?? Well maybe not the class.. (just whoever reads it)
