"Let's Do It, Let's Live It Up"

So, after friending people, they would be wondering why i have this blog! well, this blog is my more personal blog, which was kind of an alternative to the other one (which is why i never blogged on the other one) but now i'm just having one all purpose blog! tired of hiding things, i suppose. Not everything read on here will be pleasant or interesting, but who caters to other people nowadays? ;D

anyways, that's my explanation. x]

anyways, I've been listening to I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. Really good song. haha
I found that I really like to blog late at night, maybe because that's when I'm the most tired and my mind isn't as willing to protect itself as it normally is, who knows? Anyways, I've been reading the book "21 Irrefutable Qualities of a Leader" or something like that. Which Anthony lent me! He's one of my mentors. More on that later. :)! I think i'm going to be blogging about a the chapters here, as subject matter (have i posted something like that already?)
NEW TECHNIQUE! WALL OF TEXT! as jordan put it. I follow no rules, so i'm going to use his name again ^____^! i'm jealous of francis for getting his own car. but if anyone deserves it, he does, right? :D! So, i'm trying to work on having less expectations with for everyone. I was really dissapointed with the Van Nghe kids on sunday. Everyone is just so lazy. However, I blame the leaders. It seems in general, the leaders are unreliable, apathetic, and just plain lazy. They all set bad examples of work ethic and effort. If i had lazy leaders, i would be lazy too. To be honest, i feel like i'm one of the few that try to work to get people motivated and into the drum, and i feel like i get shit respect for it. No one listens to me because i've always been made fun of. And when I'm serious, people still make fun of me... but i'm not going to let that happen anymore. Anyone who thinks its easy to teach people can give it a shot if they want, all i want is a little respect, please. I hate it when other leaders use fear to motivate the group, and i'm trying to be nice, but i get taken advantage of. I guess that's another thing i need to work on as a leader, which is motivating people. Anthony gave me some good ideas, i should try them out. I ave too much pride to do other people's ideas, but i'll jsut force myself to. xD anyways, i'll keep trying in van nghe, and if people disrespect me, then i'll just have to see when it happens. I think i've worked hard and for a while to get my spot in van nghe right now, and i deserve at least a little respect for that. Jai Ho, fasho. VSU, we're planning for summer end dealie tomorrow, i don't think very many people are coming. It's not that they're all b usy or stuff, (well to be fair some are) but i think a lot of them would rather have other things to do. which is okay! i'll just show the people that i do have at my house a fun time! which hopefully motivates them to come back! and have fun and stuff! :)! i'm trying to use fun meetings as a way to get people motivated to come more. Leads to portion of passion in the leadership book. I don't know what my calling is yet. I mean, i want to do something where I can become a great leader! one part where i'm lacking is that i'm selfish still, i want people to appreciate me, and that's why i want to lead, to prove myself, and to get people to appreicate me. Only in van nghe and vsu did i really want to pass something on, and make others better. That's why i really want to start training vsu leaders. I think that using the summer show as a training method is a good idea, but i think we should have training sessions, and use the summer show as an application of that training. I don't believe in just letting them waddle around in the dark and just get f*cked up. we won't be there to fix the whole show in 5 minutes next year (although francis is a g in that aspect) I think i'm going to do training sessions. But what should i do? i want to buy the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership, and go off that 7 sessions of 3 laws each, haha. And i'll think of things to keep them busy. I want the club to be stronger, not just die like everyone thinks it will. anywho, those are my rants for today. x]] thanks for reading (if you did) :D! i'm proud of my agenda for the meeting. x]]
