Sunday

The Chiefs lost. No real hope exept that with this kind of showing, there maybe big changes coming soon. Byrd and I had a great Saturday. He is a good friend that encourages me and he is good to the people in his life. Back to Sunday for minute...I woke up and got some food from Hy-Vee. Adam, JT, Suzanne, Molly, Von German, and Jason showed up to watch the game. It was pretty fun and I love providing a place to watch the game. We had cookies, thin crust pizza, cheese pizza, and chicken strips. Already this season I have cooked probably 20 pizzas. It is really fun. After the chiefs lost I watched Manchester United vs. Tottingham hotspurs. That game was fun, but manchester lost so that was a bummer. I went to Black Dog after that and I was warn out. I really worked hard making pizzas and buying pizzas for 5 hours. I cleaned my apartment because there was girls come over and I didn't want them telling their other girlfriends that my apartment was a shit pile. I did the best I could to have my apartment clean, to provide food, and a joyous attitude. It really did feel good because I know the crap I go through to make enough money to have the things I do. I am really trying to focus on being positive, growing my work ethic, and feel good about my life. I think my experiences do change peoples lives. There is a young man who hangs out at the black dog named Adam Rapper. He wants to be a rapper. I told him that "There are going to be people in your life that say you aren't good at rapping" just because someone says it doesn't make it true. You keep taking action to be a rapper. You decide that you want to be a rapper and go for it. I am deciding I am going to be a hard worker who prays and who helps people. That is the vision I have for myself. Have a good Monday.

Friday night

Friday day I pushed through another day and I felt I improved myself as a person. I also improved with my money as "The Byrdman" gave me 20 dollars for the Sporting Kansas City game. I picked up Bryce and we went to Hooters. There was some Kansas trash there "tuning the headlights" of my favorite server. Luckily the Hooters Waitress has an MMA Brown Boyfriend that was going to drive up and punch the Meth right out of these fools. I really wanted to see this but me and "The Byrdman" kept moving and went to the game. Parking was a bit of a mess but we got in. Molly and Laura saved me a seat. I love Matt Beasler and Zusi had a huge game. The crowd was awesome and SKC won and are now in the playoffs. It will be interesting to see what Peter Vermes does with the lineup. Chance Meyers played wing yesterday which is wierd, I didn't think he played well, but oh well. The Back line I think needs to be Besler, Colin, Sinovic. middle Ceasar-Nags-Suzi-Espinoza- and Sapong up top. That is solid lineup that may get us to the MLS Cup. Nagamura and Espinoza have been huge this season. Today I don't know what I am doing but I am sure it will involve talking to beautiful people...both male and female.

Friday night

Carefree wherever we may be. We are the famous SKC! Tonight we wiz on the fire. I am picking up "The Byrdman" at around 6 and we are heading to Livestrong Sporting Park to watch the game. Joseph Peterson got a Red Card last week so he is out for the game. Sapong Kei and Zusi up top. Ceasar Espinoza Nagamura Orial in the middle, Besler Collin Sinovic, and Chance Meyers in the back. It should be a good one. Chiefs are also doing stuff this Saturday. Yeah buddy! What I want to get done is to get Laundry done, clean the apartment, Enjoy some football, buy food that looks and tastes good (Just in case people come over) Byrd will probably be flying along with me so I am going to try to be positive. I am going to have it in mind on the things I have been working on (Like Anchoring positive results and feelings to hard and completed work) We may end up in hooters were I will try to just get the wings or fried pickles. Last time I went overbored haha. I am also going to pray this weekend for God's help.

Thursday

Thursday was ok. There is always a point in the day where I just think I can't go on and I want to run away, but then I try to go 20% farther than I think I can go. I have seen this 20% thing in several places and it has stuck with me. Anyway I made it through my day, then I went for a 2-mile walk which was pretty impressive considering the amount of emotional energy I have been spending on work and my attitude. I went to black dog and my friend Adam was there. Adam is a beast in the weight room and a good looking guy. He just got a Lexus and now he is the hottest guy I know. He is down to earth and we have good times. I may not have the most money in the world but I have the best group of friends right now. Vinnie is always happy and always moving forward, Bryce is kind and very funny, the Elder Statesman has truly been an older brother to me throughout H.S. and life in general. Kris is my brother and Jason is a guy that who can talk women and drink coffee with. Raymond of course is awesome as well, but I cringe when I think about him because I don't want to be messing up around him. Overall I really have it good and it is strange to have people want to come to my apt and watch games. So I am continue to do what I am doing because 90% of my day kinda sucks but the 10% that doesn't is so good it is worth the work. I used to hate getting my oil changed, getting a hair cut, shopping for clothes, but I really anchored the idea of happiness to those events and it has made my quality of life better. I really can't wait until I can truly associate working with making money and helping people. I still associate work with pain, but if I keep working my attitude I will want to work more. I know in my heart it can be be done because there are days when I wake up and I know for a fact God has gave me the gift to give good customer service, the gift to work with others, and the gift to get my ass to work. So anyways I will keep working keep changing, and keep praying.

Do it now do it right Wednesday night

Yesterday I had a good situation for me to practice what I preach. I have never been one to do the job correctly the first time but yesterday there was a specific situation where I could either half-ass something and spend days on it, or do it correct the first time and be done with it. It was a self-esteem building for sure that is going to anchor my sails while my ship of glory sails on the success ocean! Royals lost yesterday. Frenchy hit a homerun, but he still sucks. One more day until I can be #carefree with SKC. Bryce wants to hit on alt chicks down in westport. V-Foundation is talking to a nice girl and we all seem to be free from aids. All and all things are going well and I am remaining positive. Positive things happen to positive things. Thoughts become things. I am still trying to anchor the idea of hard work to positive vibes. To really change who I am have to get my brain to connect working hard and being in-focus to mansions, money, or video games. I think I am getting better because I am in-focus that the work I do pays for me going to sporting kc and chiefs games. So I will keep working because that is what I do.

Tuesday

Tuesday was ok. Work then hung out at black dog. My friend JP came out. We talked about things. J.T. may be getting a new job soon so that is the excitement for the day. I made the decision to pick up my apt a bit because it was dirty from when people came over on Sunday. I made the decision to work out and keep eating healthy. I haven't been eating as healthy as I want (I hardly ever do) the choice I usually make that helps is I eat baked chicken or grilled chicken. Today I am going to do the same things that help grow. I am going to pray, give thanks, and move towards my dreams.

Monday Wrapup

I went 13-2 on my against the spread pick'em in the nfl this week. So that is cool. Monday was very long and very tough, but I feel like if I keep growing and keep going after my dreams I will get there eventually. There is a list I keep that shows my progress, so yesterday I worked through a bunch of crap to get stuff done and after that I hung out with Raymond for an hour then Adam and Jason at the black dog. Adam is buying a nice car and Jason is working at starbucks so we didn't really have time to be crazy yesterday. SKC this Friday and Chiefs this Sunday! Ok back to work ethic and success stuff. I am really trying to anchor thoughts with doing specific tasks so I keep on doing good things. Like if I go to work, I picture very clearly the house I am going to buy. It is white and simple. So there you go there is the idea of anchoring for you.

Sunday

Chiefs won. Adam, Jason, Brandy, Molly, Johnathon and I all watched the game at my apartment. We had popcorn chicken and pizza. One TV had Manchester United Vs. Liverpool. The other TV had the Chiefs on. The Chiefs came from behind and their defense played great. Justin Houston, Dustin Colquitt, Eric Berry, Bowe, and Baldwin...played well. Cassel played like dookie but that is to be expected. Next week Cassel will need to play better. The Royals got pounded over the weekend so they are about ready to wrap up another losing season. They made some strides, but they are not over the hump yet. Hopefully next year they will be in a pennant race. This week I am just going to try to stay positive. I want to burn calories and focus on my passions. I am going to talk plenty of football and be a ray of sunshine.

Saturday

The Royals game was awesome yesterday. Billy Butler got his 100th RBI. Next year we win it all. Chiefs today....I predict a win..and SKC got a tie yesterday.

Saturday Morning

Saturday morning is great during this time of year. I can hear the drums to let me know college football is going to be on. I am just going to kick it and eat nachos. Before I can kick it and eat nachos I have to get haircut. I am going to do some laundry. I need to pick up a book I ordered (more to come later) I already went for a walk. So then I can enjoy my day of nachos and football. Oh also Sporting KC is on at noon. I forgot about that. Sporting KC had a big win against the New York Pink Cows. It was very large and I was surprised they got out of there with a win. They are really starting to gel at the right time and hopefully they can win the supporters shield and the MLS cup. That would be huge.

Work Ethic. I have been reading about work ethic lately. I am already obsessed with success. I can't get enough of motivation videos and success stories. I don't have much but what I do have it is because I have received a ton of help from my parents and people around me, and because I have a desire of attaining stuff. Anyway I have had this thing about measuring my work ethic and making it grow...because I notice I still have a true problem of procrastinating. I am not the worst at it and I am not the best, but I noticed it and I want to get better. Before NFL last week I just told myself "I am going to work for two hours" and I did alright but I get distracted and even though I did get my place cleaned for the boys to come over, I thought...man I bet the people who drive ferrari's are able to work a couple hours without getting distracted. So long story short. I am trying today to "Do it now, and do it right" I also love the motto "Measure twice cut once" That happens when I am cleaning. I clean but then it looks like shit so I have to back and clean it again. Anyways....Go Sporting KC and Go America!

Friday Night

Friday night was pretty chill. I went to Black Dog and watched the sunset. It was really beautiful out and I put on my good headphones and listened to some DIO, Lonely Island, and All-American Rejects. I am looking to really dive into Frank Ocean and Maybe the new Killers album this weekend. I got a walk in on Friday and on Saturday morning. I have felt happy most of the last couple days and it has made life enjoyable. I am looking forward to the Royals game tonight and I think they will win as they haven't won any game I have gone too. Chiefs and other games tomorrow. It should be good.

Thursday Morning

Yesterday was pretty fun. I hung out at black dog with Jason and Adam (The Big Event) I also hung out with Raymond. Just trying to do whatever it takes to be successful in this life. Sporting KC had a large win against the New York Red Bulls. Winning Franchise keep winning Losing franchises keep on losing . Losing attracts losing winning attracts winning. I got 10 points for talking to a girl at black dog yesterday. She looked to have a boyfriend but it went well. Actually let me back this up. I talked to a girl at black dog on Sunday and my friend Adam (The Big Event) said I talked too much, so I put that in my memory bank, and this time I didn't talk much at all and Jason picked up some slack so I didn't start talking about funyons or bowling balls or random shit. So overall the day was good. I was maxed out at the end of the night had a large headache, but that is too be expected when you focus in on life and the details like I tend to do. Positive vibes will be sent out to the universe today.

Wendesday

I am always facing some sort of challenge. There are always so many things out of my control. What I can control is my thoughts and actions. My default brain always wants to be a victim and miss opportunities to get better. So today I plan on using the prayer "God direct my thinking" God keep me hungry" and "Thank God" I am making an effort to keep positive because I feel by stay positive it gives me the best chance to be successful.

wow Monday

Monday had things going wrong all over the place. Computers not working, mp3 player missing, people being not cool to me. I had to put effort into being positive and presenting a good vibe. Just cause shit is going wrong doesn't mean my mind has to be wrong. Right thinking equals right results. I made it through Monday and then I struggled to sleep well yesterday. Now I am up early because I couldn't get comfortable and it is a blessing. I feel good right now. The weather really helps my bad mood. That cold air is truly fresh. The Chiefs aren't good but they provide a good representation. You get what you think about. The Chiefs and Royals at heart want to make money. So they make money and winning comes second. Hell maybe winning comes down the list to do that. It is cool to watch some sports for college because at least their programs are all about winning. So anyway it is all good. Big stretch for Sporting KC. If they don't play well they might not make the playoffs, but they got Beastler, Colin, and Jimmy on the back so I think they will make the playoffs andthen it is a crap shoot.

Monday morning

I am pretty good spirits even after that ass kicking the chiefs received yesterday. My friends came over and I cleaned up the apt and made food. Thoughts become things and I definitely had a vision what I like my place to look like. Two TV's Chips and cheese and two different kinds of wings. I also love having good ice. The kind you buy at a gas station. Makes a difference when you are drinking healthy diet-coke. This week I am going to keep working towards my goals of creating a better body and mind for myself. Working towards making a specific amount of money for a down payment on a house. I am also working towards saying hello if I see any girls that are a specific type. Overall I am happier than a clam at high-tide.

Hooters, Soccer, and fried food.

Friday was challenging. It was long week and I was ready to get out to see Sporting Kansas City. Went I got off work I didn't feel great but I kept on saying to myself. "The weekend is here be Positive" I have the money and time to do what I love and that is to watch my teams! This night was special because Matt was putting in a big time effort to come see Sporting Kansas City. I want to present myself as a person who adds to the excitement to events and who isn't a Donald or Debbie Downer to situations. He got there and I felt decent. We got to the game in decent fashion and Sporting KC played well they just didn't score, but this damn team finds a way to get get shit done. Zusi brought a ball down and got it in the air for CJ SAPONG to score on the far post. SKC stole a tie in a game that looked headed for disaster. Yay. We went to hooters. Now I love hooters a bunch. It is always a good time. There are woman there who just are working their goods for tips. It is a bit tounge in cheek for me. I know they want toe cash-o-la in exchange they flirt and wear outfits that show skin. There is a girl there that always is my Server. She talks to much and she is only semi-cute, but she remembers me and that makes me feel good. She has alot of "The Dotte" in her because I think she has 2 kids from two different dudes, but that is ok. So she was working and Matt and I had a good time talking to her. The fried food was really good this night as well. Buffalo snackers and fried pickles and onion tanglers were off the chain. It was a good night. After the game I felt like a mack truck had hit me because it was a long day filled with ups and downs, but in the end I was satisfied with the Rapahael Experience.

Heading into the weekend

Sporting KC is on like CJ SAPONG tonight. Zusi will be back in the middle probably instead of at forward where he has been. My prediction you ask? PAIN! Mizzou plays at 6 as well as Missouri Western. Chiefs and Nascar on Sunday. Looks like it is going to be a busy time for my TV and I. In personal news what I have really been trying to do, and like I mean REEEAAAALLLY trying to do is to make the decision and action to be happy in the present. People places and things will try to drag you down, but I can decide to smile and work my way through it. It does take a big effort because this world can be shitty, but if I sit up straight and smile I might be a flower...a smiling flower in the middle of all this poop. At least I am not eating out of the dumpster anymore at the Captain D's on the belt highway. That was a low moment. (OR WAS IT DELICIOUS I CAN'T DECIDE)

Wednesday night

Wednesday night we went to black dog and talked about Captain Save-A-Ho's the type of guy who say AWWWW I will buy you some chicken nuggets if you are sad! Have some respect guys and if a lady is having a problem don't enable her by being a white or Captain Save-A-Ho. Everything was ok yesterday...just hard work..while the other guy is sleeping, I am working, while the other guy is eating, I am working...so when people are like "How do you get this awesome 24 foot square foot apartment I tell them hard work! All kidding and snarky posts aside I am glad that I am not eating out of A Long John Silvers Trashcan and I choose to be happy today.

Zusi in the midfield and Jacob Peterson back on the week. Bank on it!

Tuesday

Monday went well. Zusi was the man of the match for the US game. That is huge exposure for Sporting KC. USA also won 1-0 which was pretty sweet. Royals kicked ass and now I am looking forward to Wednesday. I was thinking about Inertia today. What goes into motion stays in motion, what is not doing shit takes lots of energy to start moving. That is the way I feel about working, talking to chicks, talking to dudes, just doing work. It takes alot of effort to get the ball rolling. To start writing, talking or working, but once you start it is easier to keep it going. Today I just plan on being of service and not eating out of Red Lobsters dumpster. In betting news I am in a large "against the spread" league with a bunch of friends and right now I am mid pack. I will take it. Kansas State and Giants were my big loser picks. Man was I wrong about those games. I thought Kansas State was going to win, but not win that big. Coach Snyder is the boss.

Monday

Monday came and went and the only really fun thing was my friend Jason pulled up his shirt to show his nipples at a weird time out of the day to give me a good laugh. The day was just filled with work and service. Work and service feels good over a period of a lifetime, but if you take moments out of that period of time they can be very frustrated. Sweat equity as Eric Thomas would say... Sweat Equity is the difference between success and failure. So it is all good. Griffons won over the weekend. Chiefs are looking to bounce back. Sporting KC plays this friday. US mens National Team plays today I think. The Pittsburgh Penguins open up camp pretty soon. So do the Lakers...and just around the corner is Big-12 basketball. Basically what I am saying is October is awesome for a sports fan and August is the worst. Tuesday is here and the only thing I am really focus on is praying and being of service. My plan is that if you are always being of service people give you stuff like money and chiefs magnetic schedules.

Thank God it's Monday

I recently saw a quote from Will Smith of all people. Yes the fresh prince of bel-air. It said something along of the lines as. It doesn't matter what you have we all struggle we all go through pain. I can definitely relate to this. I have been talking to people lately and even though you can have money, success, and freedom. You still maybe having problems. Your damn sub conscience or unresolved issues maybe attacking you. There are ways out there of dealing with them and all you can do is act on them. The thing I have learned as well is if you are struggling you have to have a good attitude about the situation. If you are not content you will naturally change to be content. So just hang in there you won't be miserable forever if you take action. Staying positive with the Chiefs is my next priority. This game was going to be a struggle and Tamba Hali will be fresh for next week. This is an 8-8 team and it will get better throughout the year. Mcluster had a big game at the expense of Baldwin but the defense will get better with the offense. No reason to throw out this season yet. Mizzou will get better because they are playing the best. That is off for now. Thank God it's Monday

sunday

Lots of positive thinking helped me cope until I could have some fun with the boys. I messed up by not bringing cookies, but I had a good time at the Chiefs game. They did shitty, but it felt good getting out and yelling with at Matt Cassel. My friend Matt was there and he could use some good vibes and we had good vibes and good sun. After the game I went to black dog and hung out. It was a good weekend and I am blessed for sure. It was my dads birthday and hopefully he had a grand time. I know he did have ribs and ribs are delicious.

Saturday wonderful day indeed.

Saturday I woke up. I had some issues with shit going on, but those will not be on the table once kickoff happens. I did get to watch some of Manchester United last week. Robin Van Persie had 3 goals and hs been playing well since being squires by Aresonal. Sporting KC is off this week because there is a break for national teams to play. Missouri plays tonight I think Georgia wins but the score doesn't settle much. Much of the answers about the Mizzou squad will likely be answered not this week, but at week 10 or so. Chiefs okay tomorrow and I think the Chiefs will win by 3. Arrowhead and KC will be rocking. Vinnie and Bryce seem to be doing well. So many people I come across have shit attitudes that tend to rub off me and the people around me. It takes me to stay strong with my mind that my day will be filled with the gifts of life, it will be filled with purpose and.meaning. I will keep praying and keep smiling and know that life is good.

Thursday

Football and Royals were on yesterday. Royals lost and the Giants loss. Tough start for my pick'em league. That is ok! I will bounce back...my knowledge of the NFL is good! Nothing really going on until the weekend. Just doing my best to be of service and not eat out of trash cans.

Tuesday

Tuesday I listened to positive thinking mp3's. They explained most of the things I already know. Think about stuff that is awesome and your mind will pick out the stuff that is awesome. So I listened to the mp3's and I was thinking how bad ass Alex Gordon's forearms are...and what do you know he used them to create awesome! An awesome homerun! Royals tied the series with the Ranjerks and continue to climb up to .500. Sal Perez also had a great pick off throw. A hall of fame pick off throw if I might say. He truely is Juan Bencho. I got a hot shower, I got some oatmeal in me, it is going to be a productive and wonderful day. I am also glad I am not going to spend my day eating out of a trashcan!

Tuesday morning

I made it through Labor day which was sneaky tough to get through for some reason. Probably because 20-29 I would have just parked myself at wiley's for the weekened and that is all I did. I had to be more creative this time around with my time. I did go to the Royals and Sporting KC game. That was fun. I was able to go for several walks and get some calories burned. I really tried to eat decently and I think I did OK until yesterday when I needed sugar. I can see why people are fat, I was trying to eat alittle bit for breakfest and lunch and I was sluggish yesterday. My first reaction was to eat a candy bar or something to get me going, but I just waited the sluggishness out and it really sucked. It takes work to get/stay in shape and I pushed through. This week is going to be busy, but I am prepared and ready to be productive.

Monday

Went out to the K. I watched Josh Hamilton hit a 440 homerun. It was good even though the Royals sucked.

Sunday

Sunday night I went to Black Dog. Jason, Ryan, Bridey, Suzanne, Johnathan were all there. Becca and some other guy were working. I had a coffee and it gave me a headache. It was ok. I participated in some conversations and wished everyone a happy labor day. Sunday was one of those days were I was bored and I just tried to be as productive as possible. I did a load whites and bleached them and I just generally tried to stay out of trouble. I also went for a walk and tried not to take in too many calories.

Friday and Sporting KC

Friday was ok. I worked and I came home and I was exhausted. I just layed around but eventually got some gummy worms and coffee. I don't really remember doing anything but listening to the rain and hanging out. On Saturday I woke up and did laundry which I have a bunch still to do. I went to J-Murphys watched some college football paid Steve his money to be in a pick-em football league. I paid Bryces tab went and Matt met us for Sporting KC. I then went to Hooters where we saw my favorite waitress who still remembered us and then Aurther Bryants. AB's was very good and Sheree, Ben, Cortland, Bryce, and Matt went to Sporting KC. It was a dramatic come from behind win and it was another Sold out crowd. We cloaked ourselves in glory for sure.

Sporting KC's front line is shredded with injuries. Orial came in and got a huge goal. The stretch run I am hoping includes Jacob Peterson and move Zusi back to midfield where he belonged. Dom Dwyer got his first playing time yesterday and he is a great looking man and the #1 draft pick. Now he has some highlights to play on the big screen when he plays.
