| I know i havn't uploaded in a while, but i never really felt like it or
had a reason to, but now i do.. New song i wrote and recorded all
yesterday.. i got the concept from Jay-Z's song, Lost Ones and so i
took his idea but related it to my personal life.. although the chorus
isn't complete yet, the song is pretty meaningful to me and so im happy
it came out
the way it did.. give it a listen.

Lyrics:
I know that over the years, the two of us have grown distant,
But for my heart’s sake, man, I hope that you listen,
Because back then, we was just kids,
But like breaking news, dude, this Just in,
I realize I’m somebody you trusted,
And looking back at what I did, man, I’m fully disgusted,
It was, way back, back, back in the third grade,
When I began to treat you, in all of the worse ways,
I’m sorry, for all the pain I caused,
I know that growing up, bro, you must have been lost,
And although, I don’t know, how I really could do this?
I guess the truth is, I was just ruthless,
Turned my back, when you needed me most,
And now the memories haunt me, like I’m constantly seeing a ghost,
Don’t even think this is easy,
Nah, you must believe me, I set aside my pride, just hoping you’d hear me,
And I say this sincerely, always knew you were smart,
But then you really gotta start, just thinking clearly,
I guess time will tell,
But this is Devin, just one of your old friends, and I’m wishing you well.
I guess while I’m at it, I’ll address you too,
The very first time I saw you, you were just too cute,
All these feelings were new, didn’t know what to do,
And so I asked for some time, just hoping we grew,
As I was holding just you, I started falling in love,
You were all I thought of, but if only you knew,
If what you told me was true, then how could you,
Possibly do, this and be so cruel?,
Now I’m thinking back, first kiss, first heartache,
But we weren’t attached, so fast, I departed,
It’s so often, these thoughts, don’t cease,
But I guess with this song, the wrongs have been released,
For so long, I prolonged these feelings,
But so long, I moved on, now I’m healing,
I’m not bitter, this won’t stop me from living,
So Khristine, I want you, to know you’re forgiven.
Happy New Years everyone! Stay safe. One.

| new-ish song.. bout a week, give or take a few days, old. called Her Name Was Hope which can be found at... www.soundclick.com/d3k4y or www.myspace.com/d3k4y .
Lyrics:
Her
Name Was Hope
At
times I sit and wonder, what if I die today?
This ain’t suicidal thoughts, listen to what I’m trying to say,
Sometimes that’s all it takes, to make the heart ache and pain,
That one can hardly contain, just disappear and go away,
A distant ear that knows ya pain,
Someone to say "hey, everything’ll be okay"
A helping hand that'll carry ya weight,
Someone that stares at ya face, and looks beyond the facade,
Knowing that ya smiles a fake,
Spot it from a mile away, that you're rotting inside,
While you're caught in a crowd appearing alive and great,
Deep inside you hate it now, you tried to wait it out,
Hoping someone might care, but each day became a nightmare,
How could you bear it, when you start to wear despair on your sleeves,
Your eyes dry from the tears and your face so barren,
That even you lose hope and stop caring…(stop caring)
You will never be forgotten, your actions so drastic,
And you left impressions on your arms that will be forever lasting,
You gashed them, your blood crashing onto the floor,
As you swore, that everybody who ignored you would feel your pain,
For never more, never more.. for never more..
Why’d you have to do this, it’s really foolish for you to think,
For even a blink of a second that you wouldn’t be missed,
How could it be THAT bad for you to take your own life,
Without thinking twice and without seeking advice,
So little do you know, that in the middle of it all,
Like a riddle to be solved, amongst the angst there would be joy,
Who would’ve thought it would destroy you?
You’re so spoiled too.. so embroiled in your thought,
That you forgot that there’s actually a lot for you to live for,
Now your family is mourning, cause you didn’t give a warning,
And that dude that had a crush but didn’t have the guts to say a thing
Is left in tears.. and your best friends for so many years,
Wonder what they could’ve done, blaming themselves for not knowing the truth,
But what good, does that do, when you've left all of us for good now
that is all folks, peace.

| Not that many of you read this anyway.. but I have a new track up on my myspace.. which is ( www.myspace.com/d3k4y)..
the song is called Where'd You Go? It's a mike shinoda beat.. but i
remade the song and put a twist to it.. the song is about innocence if
you couldn't tell..
Lyrics:
The memories are fresh in my head, like it was yesterday,
Simple and carefree, those were the best of days,
So much to say, man, where do I begin to,
Talk about all of the things that we've been through,
Like, playing tag and just running around,
While the suns looking down, smiling brightly at us,
As we were dogpiling, wilin' out on the grass lawn,
No need for studying, and classes didn't even last long..
Throwing sandbombs, chicken on the monkeybars,
Laying out looking up into the stars,
Using 'like' instead of 'love', and not knowing what love was,
We’d chase around girls, until they'd finally shove us,
Everything was lax, with no purpose or reason,
If our skin scratched, we knew it would always grow back,
But then you disappeared, without even saying a word,
And you were gone before i had even known what occurred.
Ever since I can remember, we were childhood friends,
We did everything together, never thought we could end,
But I was wrong, man, and now I’m feeling betrayed,
How could you fucking leave me, couldn’t you stay,
By my side and keep me safe, away from dangers and pain,
You’re a stranger these days, slowly creeping away,
You’ve been corrupted by hate, corrupted by jealousy,
Why they wanna split us? Couldn’t they let us be,
Frozen in time, forever we will be a memory,
I’m changing into something that I said I’d never be,
I guess I took you for granted, and now that you’re gone,
I’m feeling so lost, which is why I’m writing this song,
I guess this is a cost of having to grow up,
People change, and it’s tough, damn I had enough,
It’s all love, you know I have no regrets,
Cause the time that we shared, it was as good as it gets,
I will never forget you, you’re always on my mind,
But I can’t bring you back, no matter how hard I try,
Life is hard now without you, but you know I’m enduring,
Sitting here not knowing, always wondering…
So hit that up and give me some feedback yall, peace.

| i just felt like sharing this poor, rushed essay that i wrote for
ethnic studies with yall..although it only scratches the surface, it's
some shit that became clear to me after taking this class..
Although
originally a term coined by Professor William Petersen to positively describe
the Asian American minority, the rearticulation of Asian Americans as the
“Model Minority” has had negative repercussions. By coining such a term, the more than forty
different ethnic groups that existed within the minority lost their individuality,
and were instead replaced by the grouping ‘Asian.’ As if to obscure the modern-day
discrimination against Asian Americans, the “Model Minority Myth” only allows
for the perpetuation of racism in a subtle manner. In other words, it allows a means for the
whites to impose a form of hegemonic system in which Asian Americans are continually
mistreated and misrepresented.
In essence, it is nearly impossible
to group such a diverse minority as Asian Americans. On the surface, the diction used to describe
Asian Americans in the Model Minority Myth such as “hardworking, intelligent,
and successful” and “America’s superminority that represents the bedrock values
of America” may be flattering, to say the least, however, it is actually doing
Asian Americans an injustice. Yet,
it was this very diction that manipulated Asian Americans into embracing such
an image. Not only does this new image
divert the attention away from the struggles against poverty and racism of
Asian Americans, but it also denies that present-day discrimination against
Asian Americans exists. In truth,
although it may classify certain Asian Americans, it does not properly classify
all Asian Americans. The term “Model
Minority” may as well be used to describe any minority.
By creating a collective identity
for Asian Americans and by creating a new view of them, the Model Minority Myth
has had several consequences. For one,
it acts as a controlling image employed by the whites. The fact that this myth exists and that Asian
Americans are expected to take things
hands down without a fight only serves as an example of hegemony. This image created by whites shows their
dominance over Asian Americans; however, since this image is widely accepted,
it appears normal and natural. Secondly,
the myth “legitimizes the oppression of other racial minorities that obscures
exploitation”. The fact that the
myth exists and is accepted is proof of the existence of colorblind
racism. It shows that racism does indeed
exist today and it suggests that this is all right as long as it is the whites
in power and no one else. These
consequences will remain with Asian Americans until something is done to change
them.
dont judge the essay on how poorly it was written (im taking it p/np) just take in the content of it..
