As some of you may or may not know, I've never been good with public speaking, and despite how outspoken and blunt I can be, today I still can't find the words to share.
With that said there's no way I could get up in front of my peers, and the family and friends of a friend to share some words about who he was last night. But since writing has always been my best way of communication that's how I am choosing to say goodbye to a friend one last time.
A friend of ours (BXL, other friends from the neighborhood) was gunned down and hit with 8 bullets back in the summer time. The assailants objective was without a doubt to kill him. But my friend was blessed with the mercy of God and survived only to make a slight recovery and be stabbed to death a few months later.
My friend wasn't a saint, in fact none of us alive are, but despite that fact, no one alive deserves to meet their demise at the hands of another human being, which is what happened to him. Despite so many things in our lives, we fail to realize how much we mean to so many people. All it takes is for someone to take the life of another to take away a piece of so many more people. In killing that one person, you've killed someone's parent, someone's child, someone's sibling, someone's cousin, grandchild, aunt or uncle, someone's friend, and the list can go on forever. I've realized today how 24 years can be a long time for many things, but can be so short for a persons life. I feel that no parent should ever have to bury their child, and yet again, I've witnessed that very event taking place.
As I walked into the funeral home last night I passed many familiar faces... but these familiar faces all displayed un familiar emotions. People that I had never seen shed tears were short of breah from crying with blood shot red eyes. To hear a mother scream in Spanish "Lord why did you take my son? Lord why?" hurt my heart and reminded me of other mothers in my own family that had lost their children. Death is never easy and of course I assume that explains why I despise funerals, but of course I feel my respect to my friend is due. When I walked up to his casket the first time I looked at him in complete dis belief, i didn't know how to feel, i just know that my depression, anger and sadness consumed me. Our friends, his family all around me crying and trying not to shed tear only made me cry. A few people had been asking me details of the event during the past week and I answered to them all the same way: "It doesn't matter, my friend is gone and how it happened won't change that"
I could say more but I feel I've shared enough, so with a very heavy heart I say goodbye one last time.
So To Ronnie Garcia (Better know to us as Ron G) R.I.P brother, you will be missed and never forgotten.

The Asshole is Here!
Disclaimer: This one aint pretty!
I find it hilarious how quickly people forget. they forget who was there for them in times of need, forget who had their backs, forget who picked them up when they were down, forget who their real friends are... For a While now I been saying that I'm gonna start being an asshole and start cuttin people off and I've yet to do so. Call me Kind Hearted, but I'll tell you this when (what's left of) the little light in my chest goes out you better stand clear. I'm about to be on some next level ish and if your on my "S*&t List" you've lost me forever.
My kindness has been taken for weakness one too many times. People forget that no matter how tough my skin is, I'm human, I have feelings too, just because I don't wear my emotions on my sleeves doesn't mean that certain things ESPECIALLY from certain people won't get to me. I'm human B! theres only so much I can take.... So that's why in situations like this I cut people off, why? So that you never again have the opportunity to hurt me. Trust me I've cut people off before and just like that a friendship sinks to the bottom of the sea, and I emerge from it all without ever looking back even once. As we speak a 7 year friendship is at stake and the friend on trial has one chance to correct his/her actions.... if he or she doesn't then bye bye! You wanna know why? The world doesn't deserve a man like me; and I say that with all the confidence and with the biggest balls the planet has ever seen. Because I'm so kind hearted, and because I'm not violent, and because I let the world be I've realized I am not deserved, cause I damn sure aint appreciated. I'm honest, I'm genuine and I've realized I am a diamond in a world full of garbage and waste! And why the fuck should I be all those things if no one cares enough to return the courtesy?
Once you start cursing me out over something that aint that serious in the first place is the moment where you have disrespected me and will probably stop at nothing to continue your vendetta. Take that shit somewhere else Homie! I've said my piece, every year people say they gonna do this and do that, I don't make resolutions because I'm not the type to talk about something that I may or may not do, but I can guarantee you I take action. Find out which one of my list you wanna be on. You've awoken the beast that I so desperately try to keep in deep slumber. With that said I'm out!
Stay Up!

A Song
I was on the train headed downtown and forgot my iPod, but you know I'm a music fiend so I got my headphones plugged them into my phone and as one of my songs played this poem came to my head.
---------------------
A song is by far the greatest example of 'Turning Nothing into Something'
What was once nothing more than thin air turns into a sound, a sound followed by more sounds creates a composition. Then words, lyrics and melodies are added and in the end we are left with Music.
Something with the natural un forceful ability to make the people of the world, cry, laugh, dance, and sing.
And that's why I love music so much.
Beautiful isn't she?
Stay Up and Stay Tuned!

On the Grind
What's going on everyone? My cousin Brian was in town for the holidays from Atlanta. It goes without saying that he brought his Skate Board along with him, as he has been doing for the better portion of a decade now...
Along side him was my brothers best and oldest friend JC who is also a skater. JC and Brian have been good friends as well for quite some time so whenever they meet up you can expect to hear skateboard wheels cruising over the pavement.
Well I've been dieing to take some live action Pics of skaters and BMX riders for some time now so with both JC and Brian being in my house the other day I saw the opportunity and grabbed it.
That day I made an observation and mentioned that Skate Boarders aren't much Different than Photographers in the sense that they see the world around them differently than the average person. But enough talking I wanted to share some pics with you guys from that day.
^ My cuz Brian ^
^ My lil Homie JC ^
I'm proud of the images I captured and I hope you guys like em... The pictures speak for themselves so I decided not to put captions under them. Like I said Hope Ya enjoy and keep grindin. And as always I wanna thank ya'll for allowing to share my passion with you.

Taboo
I'm back to rant and rave folks. please bare with me.
So I was watching one of my favorite shows today "EveryBody Loves Raymond" and it was an episode where Robert, one of the main characters finds out he was born out of wedlock. In the episode he was devastated to find out, and it instantly triggered the question in my head: "Why?" It reminded me that my little brother, more than half of the people that I know including myself were born out of wedlock. is that really all that bad?
It didn't end there though I began thinking of other Taboos, like tattoos, and lack of college degrees, I was left wondering, "Why do we care so much about what people may say about us, about how society may view us? Why do we follow unwritten rules who have little to no consequence if and when broken?"
Let's start lightly with:
Tattoos-
Most of the older narrow minded people in my family look at my tattoos and automatically think negative. Often they ask me: "how you gonna go back to Honduras? They are gonna think you are a gang member, they'll kill you"
So it reminds me of the stigma that Tattoos are indications that he who wears them is a criminal or a dangerous person. I suppose its not professional and is only seen in a negative light. Well to all those people I say look at this Doctor and this Lawyer who are featured on a site trying to bring forth a more positive reputation to Tattoos and those who wear them. Now as for it being something for criminals I highly disagree because a crime is not defined by a persons physical appearance. I.E. I'm willing to bet that Bernie Madoff has not one tattoo on all his body but by definition he is a criminal and is serving a sentence in prison given to him by OUR justice system. Am I right or am I right? You see I personally feel that a tattoo is nothing more than a great piece of expression by both the person who applied it and the person who wears it. It is a production of something beautiful and extraordinary, in other words it is ART.
College Degree-
Imma try to get straight to the point with this one cause I could literally go on for days on this topic. Let's start with the fact that 60% of college grads end up working in a field other than the one that they studied and got a degree in... Are you effin serious? More than half of em go off and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to receive that lil piece of paper that tells employers "the person before you WENT to school" and the even they don't hire the former student? Git the eff outta here. and notice I said "WENT" to school because that's all a diploma tells you, that a person went to school, who knows if they learned anything.
My second point, many college grads that I know lack common sense and or fail to think logically about things despite how simple those things are.
Aside from all that judging from what I've grown to see: Most of the people who are successful in our society are not educated passed High School, some don't even make it that far. Example you ask? My favorite rapper of all time Jay-Z he didn't go to college, and look how well he turned out, a favorite amongst the masses and a wealthy business man richer than any Doctor I can think of. I'm sure your thinking: "How typical that this ngga would mention a rapper" and your probably right but it doesnt end with Mr. Jay-Z, what about Bill Gates? As you may or may not know he didn't go to college either, and I'm well aware we all know how filthy stinking rich he is. I mean without Bill Gates I could not be publishing this very collection of words to you, who is reading it somewhere in a completely different location on our planet.
Please don't misunderstand my state of mind or my words. I'm all for education and feel a mind is a terrible thing to waste, I just feel that school is not the answer to EVERYTHING. I feel most college grads were brainwashed to believe that they HAD to go to college and get a degree so that they can get a great job and live well. You want proof that its all BS? Fine, tell whoever is asking for your student loans "Oh but I got my Diploma, is my earned and well deserved education not payment enough for you?" See if they don't laugh in your face and send you to collections. You see if the purpose of "getting my education" is to learn to be a Doctor who save lives, only to make $80,000 a year, then I'd rather save the time, money, and energy that it takes to do so, pick up a microphone and try my luck at being a rapper who makes well over $80,000 in just one night. Call me ignorant if you want but you know deep down you don't want to be up til 4am writing a paper that a professor doesn't truly care about. But I'm done with this topic.
I say all that to say this: "Life is what you make it, you don't HAVE to go to college if you don't want to, but at least if your going to do it, do it for yourself, not to make anyone else happy and not because you've been brainwashed to believe that it will solve any of your problems. ESPECIALLY the financial problems.
Don't be so weak to fall for society's un written rules, what one says about you doesn't make you stronger, weaker, taller, shorter, smarter, dumber, richer or poorer than what you already are. The people who follow these rules are the people who are scared to be who they are, those who have been led to believe that the way society says things should be is the standard that they have to live up to. Don't fear being seen in a different light, we weren't put on this Earth to all be the same person. If you want tattoos, cover your body in them, or just have one!
DO WHAT YOU LIKE, RAISE A MIDDLE FINGER TO SOCIETY AND BE WHO YOU ARE, BE WHO YOU WANT TO BE"
With that said, go out and Challenge the norm, and please
Stay up and Stay Tuned!

Middle Finger to Society
While talking to my home girl last night (whom I speak with each day) the topic of my drivers License came about. It all started when she asked if I had one and before you knew it I was pleading my case as to why I refuse to get one at the moment. Pull up a seat, its gonna be a good one:
Stephanie Marie: Because my boy is manager of a Best Buy and they need workers but its in Westchester
Eno Bull: Oh that would be dope.
Stephanie Marie: Yeah but you don't drive!!!
Eno Bull: My pops would let me use his car if I had a license.
Stephanie Marie: Soo stop beinq lazy and get your license
Eno Bull: Nah man. Imma go for as long as I can without it.
Eno Bull: Lol.
Eno Bull: That's my middle finger to Society.
Stephanie Marie: Lmao ay Jesus
Eno Bull: I don't even Believe in I.D.'s I got mine cause you know... feel me. But you yea...
Stephanie Marie: I can't front I didn't have an I.D. for a lonqq time
Stephanie Marie: Lol
Eno Bull: Yea. My Permit has been expired for a whole year.
Eno Bull: It still says Under 21.
Eno Bull: But MIDDLE FINGER to society.
Eno Bull: I'll get a license when I get a car and even then imma drive around illegally for a lil while.
Eno Bull: Til then I'm "Mr. What the fuck you need my I.D. For, my word should be a good enough indicator as to who I am"
Stephanie Marie: Lmao that's the I.D. you use?
Eno Bull: Yea.
Stephanie Marie: Lmao
Eno Bull: I still get into clubs and all that.
Stephanie Marie: Lmao I like that
Eno Bull: Yea.
Stephanie Marie: Lmao
Stephanie Marie: But whyy?
Eno Bull: Oh boy, you really wanna open those flood gates? Lol.
Stephanie Marie: Lmao yesh
Eno Bull: I will go in on WHY, for a few paragraphs.
Stephanie Marie: Go aheadd!
Stephanie Marie: I asked for a reason
Eno Bull: Yes!
Eno Bull: Ok, pull up a seat.
Stephanie Marie: I'm layinq down
Eno Bull: Aight so its like this:
Eno Bull: We live in a world (a country) where we are not viewed as individuals, we are not seen as human beings with unique minds, and feelings and emotion.
Eno Bull: We're not seen as logical creatures with the ability to do great things.
Eno Bull: We are seen as nothing more than numbers in a system.
Eno Bull: This country is not a beautiful rose that blooms, its a machine and we are not the drops of water that feed that rose, we are the parts that keep it moving.
Stephanie Marie: OMG that sounded like a book!! And its sooooo true
Eno Bull: So since birth everything is based on paper.
Eno Bull: Birth Certificate, Social Security Cards, so on and so forth.
Eno Bull: Yea.
Eno Bull: My question is: "Why?"
Eno Bull: I'll tell you why.
Eno Bull: Control! There is no such thing as Freedom in this country. That's just a pacifier they give us to make us feel like we are in a great country.
Eno Bull: You don't believe me? Go into any public building drop your pants and take a piss, and tell me if they won't try to hang you.
Stephanie Marie: That's true
Stephanie Marie: Freedom is just the image they give you but it isn't true
Eno Bull: Right, so an I.D. Card is just a compact version of my Passport, Birth Certificate, and SSC, so wtf I need an I.D. card for.
Eno Bull: A cop stops me and asks me my name all I gotta do is tell him and there goes my whole life in his computer.
Eno Bull: The schools I've went to, the jobs I've had and even the people in my life.
Eno Bull: I'm not comfortable with that.
Eno Bull: That's NOT freedom.
Eno Bull: Freedom is me being able to tell you, "My name is Eno Gutierrez, son of Such and Such" and you let me go without having to know any more about me than I'm willing to share.
Stephanie Marie: That makes sense
Eno Bull: Right, which leads me to part II of my rant.
PART II-
Eno Bull: We've come to a point in time where a man's word no longer means anything. See if the rest of the world was as honest as me there would be a lot less problems.
Stephanie Marie: That's true a mans word isn't shit anymore
Stephanie Marie: Everythinq is "I need it in writinq"
Eno Bull: Right so you see I can't tell you "Yes, I did graduate High School" without you needing to see a piece of Paper.
Eno Bull: They call it a Diploma. So that Paper which I could have paid for, for all you know is what determines I went to school? Why not just ask me some math problems and some historic facts?
Eno Bull: So its the same with an I.D.
Eno Bull: Why can't you just understand my words when I say "I was born on the 14th afternoon in August in 1987. I stand before you a 22 year and 3 month old man.
Eno Bull: Nah, that's not valid, my word means nuttin. You need a piece of Cardboard as proof
Stephanie Marie: I never thought about it in this way
Eno Bull: On this planet a mans word once held weight now, its only the things men have given value too. Birth Cerificates, SSC's, Passports, I.D. and even Money.
Stephanie Marie: And it makes sense ; & its true you can buy a diploma and not kno jack shit
Eno Bull: All those things WE gave value too.
Eno Bull: To*
Eno Bull: Right.
Eno Bull: So that's why I'm anti I.D. Cards.
Eno Bull: Unfortunately I know I have to get my license some day but you don't need a license to know how to drive a car and so I drive without one.
Stephanie Marie: That's true but if you get stopped you gottah deal with it
Stephanie Marie: Its always a risk
Eno Bull: I'll pay the consequences if ever I'm caught, but til then I'm the one who goes against the grain.
Eno Bull: I know.
Eno Bull: You right, but I don't drive often, every once in a while I go for a joy ride but I'm just sayin.
Stephanie Marie: Yeah I feel you
Stephanie Marie: You just put a million thoughts in my head because I never thought of the whole I.D. thinq like that
Eno Bull: So I guees deep down I'm just a Hippy, but this is how I think.
Eno Bull: Yea.
Stephanie Marie: Lol I think you have the soul of a hippy
Eno Bull: Yea I do.
Eno Bull: Trust me, these are the things I think of.
Eno Bull: You wouldn't think of it just by lookin at me.
Stephanie Marie: Nope; you look like the typical nigga (no offense)
Eno Bull: None taken, I know, I see that nigga in the mirror every mornin, but the nigga lookin back at me sees a scholar.
Eno Bull: Write that one down lol.
Stephanie Marie: AAAOOOWWWW
Stephanie Marie: I'm soo quotinq that lmao
Eno Bull: Lmao.
Eno Bull: Me too I aint gonna front I like that.
Stephanie Marie: Lol
Eno Bull: Lmao. Hmmm. You spanish you good.
Stephanie Marie: Lmaoo your spanish too sucio
So there you have it, the reason I've yet to get my New York State Driver's License
Til I do have it, you remember to
Stay Up and Stay Tuned.
Stephanie Marie: Because my boy is manager of a Best Buy and they need workers but its in Westchester
Eno Bull: Oh that would be dope.
Stephanie Marie: Yeah but you don't drive!!!
Eno Bull: My pops would let me use his car if I had a license.
Stephanie Marie: Soo stop beinq lazy and get your license
Eno Bull: Nah man. Imma go for as long as I can without it.
Eno Bull: Lol.
Eno Bull: That's my middle finger to Society.
Stephanie Marie: Lmao ay Jesus
Eno Bull: I don't even Believe in I.D.'s I got mine cause you know... feel me. But you yea...

Eno Bull: Control! There is no such thing as Freedom in this country. That's just a pacifier they give us to make us feel like we are in a great country.
Eno Bull: You don't believe me? Go into any public building drop your pants and take a piss, and tell me if they won't try to hang you.
Stephanie Marie: That's true
Stephanie Marie: Freedom is just the image they give you but it isn't true
Eno Bull: Right, so an I.D. Card is just a compact version of my Passport, Birth Certificate, and SSC, so wtf I need an I.D. card for.
Eno Bull: A cop stops me and asks me my name all I gotta do is tell him and there goes my whole life in his computer.
Eno Bull: The schools I've went to, the jobs I've had and even the people in my life.
Eno Bull: I'm not comfortable with that.
Eno Bull: That's NOT freedom.
Eno Bull: Freedom is me being able to tell you, "My name is Eno Gutierrez, son of Such and Such" and you let me go without having to know any more about me than I'm willing to share.
Stephanie Marie: That makes sense
Eno Bull: Right, which leads me to part II of my rant.
PART II-
Eno Bull: We've come to a point in time where a man's word no longer means anything. See if the rest of the world was as honest as me there would be a lot less problems.
Stephanie Marie: That's true a mans word isn't shit anymore
Stephanie Marie: Everythinq is "I need it in writinq"
Eno Bull: Right so you see I can't tell you "Yes, I did graduate High School" without you needing to see a piece of Paper.
Eno Bull: They call it a Diploma. So that Paper which I could have paid for, for all you know is what determines I went to school? Why not just ask me some math problems and some historic facts?
Eno Bull: So its the same with an I.D.
Eno Bull: Why can't you just understand my words when I say "I was born on the 14th afternoon in August in 1987. I stand before you a 22 year and 3 month old man.
Eno Bull: Nah, that's not valid, my word means nuttin. You need a piece of Cardboard as proof
Stephanie Marie: I never thought about it in this way
Eno Bull: On this planet a mans word once held weight now, its only the things men have given value too. Birth Cerificates, SSC's, Passports, I.D. and even Money.
Stephanie Marie: And it makes sense ; & its true you can buy a diploma and not kno jack shit
Eno Bull: All those things WE gave value too.
Eno Bull: To*
Eno Bull: Right.
Eno Bull: So that's why I'm anti I.D. Cards.
Eno Bull: Unfortunately I know I have to get my license some day but you don't need a license to know how to drive a car and so I drive without one.
Stephanie Marie: That's true but if you get stopped you gottah deal with it
Stephanie Marie: Its always a risk
Eno Bull: I'll pay the consequences if ever I'm caught, but til then I'm the one who goes against the grain.
Eno Bull: I know.
Eno Bull: You right, but I don't drive often, every once in a while I go for a joy ride but I'm just sayin.
Stephanie Marie: Yeah I feel you
Stephanie Marie: You just put a million thoughts in my head because I never thought of the whole I.D. thinq like that
Eno Bull: So I guees deep down I'm just a Hippy, but this is how I think.
Eno Bull: Yea.
Stephanie Marie: Lol I think you have the soul of a hippy
Eno Bull: Yea I do.
Eno Bull: Trust me, these are the things I think of.
Eno Bull: You wouldn't think of it just by lookin at me.
Stephanie Marie: Nope; you look like the typical nigga (no offense)
Eno Bull: None taken, I know, I see that nigga in the mirror every mornin, but the nigga lookin back at me sees a scholar.
Eno Bull: Write that one down lol.
Stephanie Marie: AAAOOOWWWW
Stephanie Marie: I'm soo quotinq that lmao
Eno Bull: Lmao.
Eno Bull: Me too I aint gonna front I like that.
Stephanie Marie: Lol
Eno Bull: Lmao. Hmmm. You spanish you good.
Stephanie Marie: Lmaoo your spanish too sucio
So there you have it, the reason I've yet to get my New York State Driver's License
Til I do have it, you remember to

Quote Me on this One
I don't usually do this folks, as most of you already know. But tonight I was having a deep conversation with a good friend and I said something that I want to immortalize in a quote, so here it goes:
"EVERY MORNING I LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SEE A "NIGGA" , BUT THAT "NIGGA" LOOKS BACK AND SEE'S A SCHOLAR" - ENO BULL
FOR REAL!
Come back tomorrow, and in the mean time
