Calvin Broadus is Snoop Doggs real name. So i thought that would be sick.

I kind of let everyone know because i have my mission call and all. So i think that most of you know who i am.
Real life Real Talk i dont know what to say. but i love my family. i don't really hurt at all. I don't get why people  act like they hate their lives when they go under cover. I don't see how you could but then again we are all living completely different lives. but i am thankful for this class and what it has taught me even though Nels thought that we didn't learn anything. But i did. i learned a lot. #nels4pres

Amen.. for the moms out there...

So i was about to put a song with messed up lyrics on because it is just a crazy song but i didn't .. so i decided to put something worth while on my post instead..

Jeffrey R. Holland

Because She is a Mother.. (the rest of the talk can be found on LDS.org)

Mothers, we acknowledge and esteem your faith in every footstep. Please know that it is worth it then, now, and forever. And if, for whatever reason, you are making this courageous effort alone, without your husband at your side, then our prayers will be all the greater for you, and our determination to lend a helping hand even more resolute.

One young mother wrote to me recently that her anxiety tended to come on three fronts. One was that whenever she heard talks on LDS motherhood, she worried because she felt she didn’t measure up or somehow wasn’t going to be equal to the task. Secondly, she felt like the world expected her to teach her children reading, writing, interior design, Latin, calculus, and the Internet—all before the baby said something terribly ordinary, like “goo goo.” Thirdly, she often felt people were sometimes patronizing, almost always without meaning to be, because the advice she got or even the compliments she received seemed to reflect nothing of the mental investment, the spiritual and emotional exertion, the long-night, long-day, stretched-to-the-limit demands that sometimes are required in trying to be and wanting to be the mother God hopes she will be.

But one thing, she said, keeps her going: “Through the thick and the thin of this, and through the occasional tears of it all, I know deep down inside I am doing God’s work. I know that in my motherhood I am in an eternal partnership with Him. I am deeply moved that God finds His ultimate purpose and meaning in being a parent, even if some of His children make Him weep.

“It is this realization,” she says, “that I try to recall on those inevitably difficult days when all of this can be a bit overwhelming. Maybe it is precisely our inability and anxiousness that urge us to reach out to Him and enhance His ability to reach back to us. Maybe He secretly hopes we will be anxious,” she said, “and will plead for His help. Then, I believe, He can teach these children directly, through us, but with no resistance offered. I like that idea,” she concludes. “It gives me hope. If I can be right before my Father in Heaven, perhaps His guidance to our children can be unimpeded. Maybe then it can be His work and His glory in a very literal sense.”⁷

In light of that kind of expression, it is clear that some of those Rhode Island–sized shadows come not just from diapers and carpooling but from at least a few sleepless nights spent searching the soul, seeking earnestly for the capacity to raise these children to be what God wants them to be. Moved by that kind of devotion and determination, may I say to mothers collectively, in the name of the Lord, you are magnificent. You are doing terrifically well. The very fact that you have been given such a responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you. He knows that your giving birth to a child does not immediately propel you into the circle of the omniscient. If you and your husband will strive to love God and live the gospel yourselves; if you will plead for that guidance and comfort of the Holy Spirit promised to the faithful; if you will go to the temple to both make and claim the promises of the most sacred covenants a woman or man can make in this world; if you will show others, including your children, the same caring, compassionate, forgiving heart you want heaven to show you; if you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do.

Nobody's Perfect :)

Shout out to my girl Hannah... she always knows how to hit me where it counts....

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
1, 2, 3, 4!

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what? I'm talkin? 'bout
Everybody gets that way

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin? 'bout
Everybody gets that way, yeah!

Sometimes I'm in a jam
I?ve gotta make a plan
It might be crazy
I do it anyway

No way to know for sure
I figure out a cure
I'm patchin? up the holes
But then it overflows

If I'm not doin' too well
Why be so hard on myself?

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
Again and again
'Til I get it right

Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes
Nobody's perfect

Sometimes I work a scheme
But then it flips on me
Doesn't turn out how I planned
Gets stuck in quicksand

But no problem can't be solved
Once I get involved
I try to be delicate
Then crash right into it

But my intentions are good, yeah yeah yeah
Sometimes just misunderstood

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
Again and again
'Til I get it right
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/h/hannah-montana-lyrics/nobody_s-perfect-lyrics.html ]

Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
I know in time I'll find a way
Nobody's perfect

Sometimes I fix things up
And they fall apart again
Nobody's perfect
I know I mix things up
But I always get it right in the end
You know I do

Next time you feel like
It's just one of those days
When you just can't seem to win
If things don't turn out the way you planned
Figure something else out
Don't stay down, try again, yeah!

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what? I'm talkin? 'bout
Everybody gets that way

Everybody makes mistakes
Everybody has those days
Everybody knows what, what I'm talkin? 'bout
Everybody gets that way

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
Again and again
'Til I get it right

Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
And if I mess it up sometimes

Nobody's perfect
I gotta work it
I know in time I'll find a way

Nobody's perfect
You live and you learn it
'Cause everybody makes mistakes
Nobody's perfect

(Nobody's perfect)
No no
Nobody's perfect!

My family is gone and i have to save them from a dragon.  I almost die and change my life..
 I get shot on my mission in L.A..
I forget how to talk.  I find out i am adopted... My sister gets kidnapped so my dad and i try and save her.
Or my favorite. There is a draft for the army.. All my friends and i go to war.

Chase Hansen comes back from college... We are just hanging out because i am leaving on the Mish in a couple weeks... We go to school and they call all men down to the gym from ages 16 to 42. Me nels and chase walk down not expecting to be drafted... We go to war and training. We are then in the same Regimen? ha i dont know it sounded good. . so then i turn to look nels in the eyes ... tears come to both of us... we hug.. When we release i get shot.. he does what he can but i am almost dead. he throws me over his shoulder and takes me to a medical place safely while in the hospital i get healed.. we get orders to save a POW whose family all died besides his mom and he needs to be saved for her... His name is Private Brian... we save him but all die... it was totally worth it.

I have awful grades and now all i am trying to do is catch up which is awful and i wish i could've been here but that is the price i have to pay to play baseball right? Ya it sucks.  Not gonna lie i had some good times but i could have had a better time or i would rather have a better time for missing that much school.

Jealous Of Bruno Mars

"The Lazy Song"

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything.

Uh!
I'm gonna kick my feet up
Then stare at the fan
Turn the TV on, throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gonna tell me I can't

I'll be lounging on the couch,
Just chillin' in my snuggie
Click to MTV, so they can teach me how to dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freaking man

Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all!
Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh
Nothing at all
Ooh, hoo, ooh, hoo, ooh, ooh-ooh

Tomorrow I'll wake up, do some P90X
Meet a really nice girl, have some really nice sex
And she's gonna scream out: 'This is Great' (Oh my God, this is great)
Yeah

I might mess around, get my college degree
I bet my old man will be so proud of me
But sorry pops, you'll just have to wait
Haha

Oh, yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

No, I ain't gonna comb my hair
'Cause I ain't going anywhere
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll just strut in my birthday suit
And let everything hang loose
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh
Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all
Nothing at all
Nothing at all

I wish I could live like Bruno Mars and when I try to it ends up biting me in the butt. Don't try to live like Bruno.

Late Night Phone Calls

I dont know what i say late at night. Me and my late night phone calls i go off. I will finish this post later.

Sleepy Head

I love sleeping!!!

Nels

The following message is only a tiny bit used to kiss up to Mr. Kyle Nelson.

I honestly think Mr. Nelson is such a good guy.  He really does care about the students and wants us to get something out of this class. I know sometimes people like you and i all screw up like doing 2 definitions in class but hey... Just don't do it.  He cares that you care.  He cares that you care that he cares that you care about this class and that you don't get an A but that you get an EXPERIENCE out of it.  That is what a real teacher is.  I respect you for that coach.  I know that Mr. Nelson always gives lessons about this but its because he really does think of that and he cares.  A lot.  So comment on this post and say i love Nels if you really respect what he does.  You all should comment.  For real though. Just click on a couple inches lower and type the 9 letters.

Courage and Strength

 Sylvia Kelly

It takes strength to be certain,
It takes courage to have doubts.


It takes strength to fit in,
It takes courage to stand out.


It takes strength to share a friend's pain,
It takes courage to feel your own pain.


It takes strength to hide your own pain,
It takes courage to show it and deal with it.


It takes strength to stand guard,
It takes courage to let down your guard.


It takes strength to conquer,
It takes courage to surrender.


It takes strength to endure abuse,
It takes courage to stop it.


It takes strength to stand alone,
It takes courage to lean on a friend.


It takes strength to love,
It takes courage to beloved.


It takes strength to survive,
It takes courage to live.

This poem sums it up pretty good.  Strength is sometimes good but it is good to have to rely on other people or give up.  But i don't want to say give up but too just show that hey.. i am not unbeatable and that sometimes you are vulnerable.  Its hard but sometimes we need it.  I think it shows you are a real man if you can have courage instead of strength especially when everyone expects you to just have strength.

I wonder what its like...

I wonder what its like to be a celebrity living the life.
To be the guy who sits there lonely at lunch.
I wonder what its like to live like you were dying.
To die without living.
I wonder what its like to change the world with one speech.
To have my own dream.
I wonder what its like to live in poverty or a third world country just wanting a bowl of rice.
To be the guy who thinks about suicide on a constant basis.
I wonder what its like to not be loved.
To dream but never achieve or to achieve all I dream.
I wonder what its like to be someone looking to change but has already got themselves too deep in the mud. 
To realize I failed it all, I failed everyone.
I wonder what its like to fly. 
To be small and unnoticed.
I wonder what its like to see everything.
To know it all so I couldn't fail.
I wonder what its like to see the "other side" and know what it is like.
To see if I have lived a good life and if it was actually worth it.
I wonder what it is like to change the world or to effect the world completely with my mind.
I wonder what its like to really BE.

Life and Death

Life is love, experience, and happiness.  Live it up. Don't sit and wait for things of the world to happen to you.  Happen to the world.  A young women once told me, "Life sucks and then you die." Which is somewhat true.  Life sucks sometimes.  Why keep it that way? Its gonna suck anyway.  Why not have fun with it and live it up. Change the way you live because everyone dies but not everyone lives. Don't let death come into your life and just give you regrets.  I know i want to look back at the way I lived and say.. Dang, that was sick. 

Being A Tourist

Ya I am kinda being a tourist right now.  Going through the motions and letting everything roll by.  Showing up late to my class and posting in the last 5 minutes of the week.. But now I am going to change.  I am committing to be better in this class right now and I WILL get something special out of this class.  If you see yourself doing what I have been doing then commit. Commit to contributing to this class and then put in the effort.

Fear

Why do we fear? Because we have been trained to fear. Why don't we just accept everything that happens instead of fearing it? Fear is when you are unprepared for a change that happens in your life. Be prepared. Buddha said, "The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.  Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one.  Only the moment you reject all help are you freed."  Be freed young ones...

Why do we cry?

Does crying actually help? Does it really make us feel better? But why do we cry from our eyes? It doesn't make sense, but i think we cry to show we care.  To it seem like it really does matter.  When people care for us we realize we really matter.  The way we know people and see the true person they really are is through their eyes... Lets be honest who cries? babies. Thats it. I just change from real me to fake me because people found out what my name is... frustrating... I want to cry.

I'm Thinking About You

I'm thinking about you like honey thinks about bees,
and Seven things about seas,

Like birds think about trees,
and professionals think about ease.

I'm thinking about you like computers think about electronics,
and words think about phonics,

Like booms think about sonic,
and back pains think about chronic.

I'm thinking about you like the sun thinks about light,
and U.F.C. thinks about the fight,

Like choosing thinks about right,
and dark thinks about night.

I'm thinking about you like Rocky thinks about Bullwinkle,
and stars think about twinkle,

Like chips think about pringles,
and Love thinks about wrinkles.

I'm thinking about you like heat thinks about the sun,
and Spongebob thinks about F.U.N.,

Like finished thinks about done,
and I think your the ONE.

Change.

Change brings out the worst in people but it also brings out the best. It just depends on what people really want to do with it. Some people mope around and cry that things are different but others take their changes and make the world and their lives a better place.  People who it brings the worst out of are the people who look at change with a bad attitude and the people it shows good character for are the type of people who are pumped about life and say, "come what may, and love it".  So in the end attitude is the change.

Love is...

Love is... When you look into to the eyes of a small goat... Love is a small kitten gasping for air... and you realize.. life can't get much better than this. On a more serious note... i think that love is when you look into someone's eyes that you care about and you can see that they care just as much for you... When you get the feeling of accomplishment when you know that your dad is the most proud he has ever been of you when you pushed yourself to the limit and came out on top.  Love is spending endless time with someone and never tiring of their company.. The feeling you get when you open up a birthday card from your grandparents and you read words of love and they express how proud they are for the person you have become..

Intro

I am here. On the reals... When you hear my words, you'll be slippin' on banana peels... Shout out to my boy Robert Matthew Van Winkle... Wonder of the one hit...hey it was the sh**... That's my boii.  I am here to write but not be disgraced.. i may not be the best writer in the world but i will have one or two posts that everyones like ... wait who is this guy... Calvin Broadus? ha... That's me but you don't know the real me... Hopefully never... Just saying.  Hold your breath...Count to 3.... Come with me... Prepare to be mind-blowned...
