Ironic.
Was browsing through Youtube looking for old "Boy meets world" episodes and just thought it was ironic I would run into this one.. peep the date of the wedding toward the end of the episode. I miss this show !

"Cracks in the concrete are just reminders that everyone falls apart no matter how strong they pretend to be"
"Being HAPPY doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."
I cant help but post these 2 quotes up. I cant stand reading my twitter and its filled with senseless "emo" banter that no cares about ! its almost a lost feeling that people turn to shun the other cheek whenever someone is on their "Emo shit" on twitter. Almost as if no one has ever felt the feeling of being broken or being unhappy, a feeling that no one wants to reach out and help someone stand up.
I myself am guilty of the forgetting these emotions of what I'd like to call terror and grief. I unfollow those who post nothing but shit from these various twitter accounts which were made to make them feel even more like shit ! posting #nowplaying songs that try to make it relate to themselves when the perticular song has absolute no meaning to their situation...... SMH !
Getting back to these quotes I've posted above.. I have said in 2 simple paragraphs how I hate seeing seeing such "downer" quotes. 2010 has been a year of trial of myself and progressing myself making myself better for that next step in life. Anyone that knows me will point out the changes I've made to finally put a smile back on my own face. So why the quotes you ask ? why concern myself with these quotes ? ..I found one on my friends facebook page Chris C. and the other quote I found when a friend of mine had mentioned it in a text to me just a couple days ago. It made me think for a little.
my thought ?
I'am that person that I hate !

Slow it down.
Good morning ! Haven't been up this early in such a long time. just had a few thoughts that on my mind that I wanted to voice out and speak about.
Recently I slowed it down a bunch from going out all the time and getting back to who I'm of just kickin' back with the homies and those closest to me, getting back to the elements and realities of "who I'm" as a person. Perception is everything.. For almost a year now ever since i started working at my current job, everyone has had the perception of me as a person that goes out all the time or someone enjoying the so called "good life" that Vegas has to offer. Don't get me wrong those are enjoyable moments and definitely a good time.. but it just wasn't me. I gave it a shot for a little while to kinda hash up the things I was going through at the time, and maybe change myself, telling myself that maybe I can live the rock star life that's available when I call for it. Its been fun, meeting new people seeing new things and experiencing somethings that previously Ive only experience with one other person. At the end of it all I just don't fit in that lifestyle. I found myself trying to change myself for the wrong reasons and ended up not liking myself for it.
So here's me...
Hello,
My name is Mico Velasco, I like playing basketball,I love music and girls in sweats and tank tops, I love the simple yet fun things in life and would rather just have an intellectual and deep conversation with my friends sharing our opinions on the world,rather than out and about destroying myself every night. I enjoy boring things like thinking of how the sunset on the coast of San Diego will be like in the morning. In an analogy I think I'm like the movie Napoleon Dynamite.. Something no one cared for to see at first but later picked it up on DVD and enjoyed it after they saw it. (had to toot my own horn there lol).
What made me think of writing this passage is what happened at my house the other night.. When the guys and I kick it we usually always talk big game of "Yo we have to get some females to come through and get our some some some on" yet every night we talk that same game.. The night always ends up fun, i think it was lexx and I or Justin and I that were talking at my house about how come even though We miserably fail at trying to try to do.. It always ends up being a really fun night ?! The only thought i ha on my mind as a response was because every ones personality in the room just makes a mood of fun. I'm not even talking about a big group of people, literally theres a solid core of 5 of us that kick it every Monday and Tuesday at my house that just make a night of good times.
Its funny because I turn up a song from the Little Brother album called the minstrel show the other night and Justin was like "is this the whole album" quickly to his excitement and next thing you know he and I are vibing to this song and that energy gets to the others in the room and quickly they go "who is this singing this song ?" I'm glad that everyone enjoyed something so old that it felt new again ! I posted a lyric of the song of facebook and twitter not to long after we were listening to the song and sure enough the hip hop crazies on the net showed up lol.. here is the the first..
"Cheatin" - Little Brother
This next one was the one that after it played everyone was vibin' to..
"Slow it down" - Little Bother
"Sometimes I think I'm from another world (preach)
When I'm trynna tell a woman just exactly where I stand that (aight)
I want a girl, when I want a girl
And when I don't want a girl, I want a girl who understands that
And that's some hard shit to explain
To a woman that's in love with you, it's a pitiful thing
Until I had to figure
That I don't wanna play around, but I don't wanna settle down
And that's a man's dilemma, 'cause every man remembers
How his daddy and his uncles did it
'Cause more than likely that's the way they're gonna do it
I know it sound fucked up and most wont admit it
But yo, I gotta face it 'cause I know I'm living through it
'Cause when the party stops and niggaz get old
And the chain and the cars and the houses get sold, and that
Other side of the bed gets cold, you don't wanna be alone
So girl I'm trynna hold you.."
Good Day to all,

Humility.
Being a Filipino in the U.S was always something I never liked representing. Its different seeing state side Filipino's and how their raised compared to the way Filipino's are brought up back home where I'm from 13 years of my life.
Some of the reasons why I hate Filipino's is the U.S is because majority of the filipino's I've met in the U.S have been the same story over and over.. greedy, flashy, no manners.. the list goes on and on (I myself will admit that I've been that way at a point, but always kept in check by my mother). The filipino I know was the complete opposite of that mold.
On his trip to New York to meet with Pres. Barack Obama I'm so glad that something so innocent as eating a New york stand hot dog can be done by President NoyNoy Aquino of the Philippines. To most people will just see a well of man having a hot dog on a street corner. To me it means so much more, It shows that you dont need all these flashy things or show me something I could care less for. It shows a sign of Humbleness. It shows Hope that there are still people in the world that enjoy the small but fun things in life. Today makes me proud to say I'm Filipino !

Sometimes you have to..
Man this summer has been rough ! from work slowing down during the summer to experiencing new things in life and growing and learning from those lessons its definitely been a tight stretch.
Its crazy school is here again and once again Im playing the role of procrastinating student, never the less Im back in school.. Its kind of bitter sweet for the situation because I know the benefits of the work when it comes to fruition but at the same time Im just not a school type person.
Work has been well work.. What I once enjoyed overly at times has become a bit of a challenge. Money has been right but just the overall feel has been sort of different.
The experience of moving out for the first time was definitely something new.. paying my own bills (power. water. gas. rent) was something new all i was used to was paying for was my own cell phone bill, insurance and occasionally helping my brother and sister with what they need.
Recently I just moved into a house back on the southside of Vegas with Glenn and Jio. It'll be fun definitely with all 3 of our personalities in the house, I really wanna see how we co exist in the house. Glenn being the more outgoing of the 3 of us and the mindset he has of paper chaser right now definitely brings a good persona to the house. Jio being the responsible out of the 3 of us definitely looks out for the best interest of the other 2 on the house (Glenn and I). Me ? I guess you can call me the balance to Glenns wildness, to sum it up Im the guy in the background that watches everything.
My car finally gave out after all this time (what a suprise right ? lol) the last 3 weeks have been tough having no car for the first time since high school ended its been rough depending on other people for rides instead of the usual of me being depended on for rides. hopefully if everything goes well like it has ill be able to get a new car by the end of this week or early next week. (Thanks to all the people that have bared with me throughout this whole process)
As some of you know a certain someone decided to call and end to the relationship I had.. I dont blame her though I would've probably done the same thing she did now that I think about it, She deserves more ! ..anyway never have a felt more lonely at any point till about 4 months ago when I realized I really dont have any more solid concrete friendships. I started clubbing and yea I developed some great relationships and networked along the way but that just wasnt who Im. I really dint hit up anyone to much because my schedule it revolved pretty much around my job and its all I do until recently with school starting back up. Shouts to everyone that decided to pick up the phone when I called because I needed someone to kick it with on my level.. more chill and just kick back talk about life and such.
So yea.. my summer definitely could've been better but I wont trade it for anything, all these experiences, feelings, lessons, knowledge I've gained have definitely opened my eyes to what I should be doing to improve things for myself. Developing goals and striving harder to reach them is definitely something Im going to pursue a little more seriously.
This is one of the Projects on the Horizon.. shhhhhh !
..You'll soon understand what thats about ;] ..thats all Im allowed to say by my partners right now.
Im going to take something a person once said and told me I have great business savy and see how right she was..
Peace Love Happiness,
Mics

Birthday Lyricism
Just. A. Never. Ending. Love [lyrics]
[verse]
This is for you baby do it till im burned out
just know that you’re the only girl I wanna learn bout
the one I care for never throw concerns out I apologize for lies and how it turned out.
Ive accused you of being influenced but whenever I do it I panic and hope to get thru it,
J.ust A. N.ever E.nding L.ove know that I knew it n now I show it so u know I persue it… I do it.
Tired of never seeing you baby can we call a truce ?
you got me sippin im addicted baby Olive Juice…
but your sad I know I am why, just know Im sorry love truly baby IMY
so Janel Im persistent for the us again, but if it don’t happen well I hope this made you blush again
Yeah ! got me feelin goofy Iono,
but happy birthday love and this is how it go…
[chorus]
Baby, you my everything, you all I ever wanted
We can do it real big, bigger than you ever done it
You be up on everything, other hoes ain't never on it
I want this forever, I swear I can spend whatever on it
'Cause she hold me down every time I hit her up
When I get right I promise that we gonna live it up
She make me beg for it till she give it up
And I say the same thing every single time
I say you the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the fucking best, you the fucking best
You the best I ever had, best I ever had
Best I ever had, best I ever had, I say you the fucking
