The Life Lessons We Learn...

Over the past few days, I've learnt so much. So much about myself, my family, my friends & even other people around me. It's time to buckle down for myself - get ready for school & stuff, but it was definitely a time of recall & understanding.

For one thing.... I've learn I've become a more mellow dude. Those who know me now would laugh - but the fact is, I used to be pretty rough around the edge, losing my temper on a drop of a dime, confronting everyone, not listening to anyone. It seems that cali has changed that. I guess I was so used to having people I knew around me - I mean I really only had a few clicks, one of which were the guys in high school & the ones outside of high school. But either way they all knew me, almost inside out. I guess once I went to cali.... fuck, why go into a detailed thought process about shit!?! Bascially, I matured over this one year. I've learnt a lot about myself today. I see the contrast of me now with the entire shaydz crew & me in the past with the crew. lol. How things change with time.

As for smoking... I realized it's harder to stop when you are at the club. But no problem for the good old gaj. Got drunk, slight temptation arose - then I realized how disguising it was & stopped. hoooooo for gaj!.

Funny thing, I also by chance (lol. brown folks) ran into a fortune / palm reader today. He gave me & my folks a read... and boy was it interesting. I don't know if I believe that shit. I more along believe that those fortunes are meant to be told to us. That is, fate is written - if a fortune is read to me, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's true... just that I have to believe it is true (or not). So for example if my fortune says I'm gonna get hit by a car, I'll believe it & not get hit by a car. Whatever.

But somethings (in fact a lot of things he said that were interesting - especially about my future wife & all my relationships - lol, but I'll keep that classified for now). The dude knew I lived in 3 countries... he never said which ones, but my parents thought he was wrong because I only lived in Sri Lanka & Canada - but later realized that I also lived in Cali! Anyways, dude says that I'm gonna settle in Canada!! grrrrr - after living in cali for a year & loving it... you are telling me I'm not going to move back!!! Fuck that, it's my choice! I'll do it if I want!! grrrr. And the other thing was that I'll never succeed in business. It's possible -- but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try!! Fuck it, I'm gonna give it an extra shot & see what happens.

Because if it is one thing cali helped me realize... business is were the $$$ is at & the other key factor - compared to the world at large... I know how to hustle, for good or bad - I can put deals together & am quite the smooth talker. So we'll see what happens.

lol - the sun is coming up... for some reason, if feels like I just walked down Las Vegas Blvd after a night of clubbing & gambling! lol. night
