Life gives the opportunity to do what ever we want to do
What is holding us back from our happiness
why is it so hard to look beyond what is there
the future is up ahead
as the person with no sense of direction sit and looks at you
for they cant decide
where they want to go
this is just to confusing
circumstance, situation,
things happen for a reason
me rambling is for a reason
my mind going into this state is for a reason
but it is a matter of if someone will ever get you
or it is a matter of whether or not the rain will keep
us in or own domain
which doesn’t even belong to us
for this land is not for one’s but
the land within the space that you create will
and can be invade by the wanted trespasser
giving this leakage from the brain
i still feel there is something that isn’t really ready
to be release into the space in will
has innocent bystanders
who will get hit
who will this insult
who knows
who is it
who is the one that ends this
who asked by who this person is ME.
Love Jevon Wilkes

It’s been a minute or two since I last blogged. I’m not really the bloggin’ person.. I prefer to talk someone to death..lol. Anyways… It’s official.. Sade Burrell is now an Aztec. I’ll be graduating next year with my BA… I just gotta knock these classes out the way. The first day of school was pretty bad… and depressing… everyone talking about the CSU cuts and how teachers have to take 2 unpaid days off during a month. The way my professors were talking it would make you give up on school, but I’ve been through too much in life to let them get to me. Anyways, I’m about to join a social work club for African Americans.. it’s for everyone, but that’s the name of the club. I heard they give you a robe when you graduate.. that’s why I’m joining…lol. Its amazing how I join things for crazy reasons, but those are the things that have the most impact on me. I’m done…

Some times in life you will be given the chance to die and fade away. Like the biggest sand castle blown away on the windy day or like the house torn down in New Orleans. But with the destruction of material came the destruction of heart, mind, body, and soul’s. There time gives the option to die and fade away. The sad part about it is that some do. Some fade away and die to never be seen again. Then the light shines bright and then those who see if run and run until they are only seeing blue sky but time stop and there is a still frame because there is clouds in the distance but guess what action the film rolls a smile becomes visible and the one who has walked a long journey from no where walks on but what why is the one walking in the direction of the clouds and not away.

On January 20, 2009, the world witnessed the first African-American President get sworn into history. Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States and I was there. The sun was high, and the wind was cool. The crowds were enormous but my mood was unsettled. My hands were so cold that I had to buy warmers for my feet and hands. I was bundled with a scarf, tucked away in a borrowed fur coat and I was still cold. Yet, I was going to witness history.
My bus ride from Lancaster, Philadelphia to Washington, DC was a little over 2 hours. I slept most of the way. People on the bus were so excited that some could not rest or even shut their eyes for a minute. When I woke up it was still dark. Needless to say, it was 5 o’clock in the morning. The journey to history was an interesting one. I started out on a chartered bus and ended up on a shuttle bus. We were being transported from RFK Stadium to the Capitol Mall. This is right in the heart of DC!
