Another day, another day, another day!! As we go about each day interacting with people, making new friends and establishing ourselves in the world sometimes we come to realize that there are journey’s in our life we must take. A journey in the sense of establishing who “WE” are as a person after many years of being told what to do by our parents, friends, mentors and random individuals or a journey in the sense of finding/creating who we are as a person. These people trying to mold us into something that we haven’t prepared fully or ventured enough into the UNKNOWN to discovery for ourselves. People who push us to do things we rather not do until we feel that we are at the point, that we have accomplished enough to get to that point. This is where you just want to take a step back from these people and say to yourself “I NEED TO FIND ME!!!” you can’t let anyone find you or create you. This is where the Anti-Social Status kicks in.
As most of my” friends” have noticed for awhile I have been doing my own thing, school, work and that’s pretty much it. People will hit me up like “Kevin you still alive?” or “Why you don’t hit me up anymore?” or “Why you so distant from everyone?”I feel I’ve reached that age where I have to take “MY JOURNEY” and re-evaluate who I interact with and what social groups I affiliate myself with. We all have those people who are cool with you one minute and the next minute they act like they don’t know you, and then come right back when they need something. (I DISPISE THESE PEOPLE LOL) Sometimes you just have to take a stand, no matter if you’re a active person such as myself always wanting to meet people, go out and do this and that, you have to fall back and say to yourself, “WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?”, “WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO ME?” Then you will realize not everyone is on your side as you may think. The plus about this “Anti-Social Status” is that you eliminate those who are I-R-R-E-V-E-L-A-N-T from view, which damages your growth and who just want to use you.
People will take notice if a person who is normally everywhere just stops showing up and being involved, “Where is SO and SO at? Their normally at these type of things?” After a couple times people will be like “OKAY something is wrong somebody find out”, these are the people that are REAL and that actually care about your well being, others are just like oh well there missing out and keep it moving. These are kind of the people you want in your life, who actually are there and support you through whatever you are going through. You learn from your experience of disconnecting from the world and from those who don’t matter. I’ve learned a lot I believe, you can’t actually FIND yourself you have to CREATE yourself and push yourself to do the things you want to do. You only live once, so why not live and let live?
It’s a continuous process and I believe that only you can establish who you are as a person. There are those who I continue to stay in contact with through my “Anti-Social Status” because they give me a REASON too. They are there for the crazy talks, discussions, finding out if I’m still alive, wishing me the best with school, life and keep pushing me to be ME (KEVIN PIERRE)!! Love you guys.

Are There Any Scary Movies Anymore??
As I was watching Nightmare on Elm Street again, the 2010 release, I was just sitting there smirking and anticipating everything that was going to happen. I just sat there and wondered when did Freddy not get scary anymore, is it when I actually grew up and realized he wasn’t real? Or is it when they just made him into a joke when he was fighting Jason? I watched the 1984 version and YES I did cover my eyes a couple times because 1984 Freddy I will not go to sleep because he attacks in your dreams but 2010 Freddy I think he is a joke (obviously I wouldn’t think he was a joke if he popped up in my dreams.) 1,2.Freddy's Coming for You!3,4,Better Lock Your Door!5,6.Grab Your Crucifix!7,8.Better Stay Up Late!Nine,Ten.Never.Sleep Again!
Child’s Play just made me hate dolls, I hated any type of dolls because I would think they would just wake up, start talking and want to kill me. Chucky had to be the definition of a killer child’s toy back in the day. Then they came out with the Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky that really made him less of a scary doll and a joke.
Candyman was really a scary character, say his name 3 times in the mirror and he would come and kill you. It got to the point me and my friends would always dare each other to say it when we were younger see who wasn’t a punk but of course none of us would say it. Then there were the sequels then we stopped being scared and I will gladly say his name 3 times in the mirror before I get scared.
As you can see a lot of the old school scary guys are not scary anymore because they had horrible sequels that made them into jokes. Jason, Michael Myers, Dude from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre . . . I will out run them all (As we all know this is impossible the faster you run the quicker they catch you so you might as well walk at their pace). “IT” that stupid clown I hated with a passion, it made me hate clowns for awhile.
The movies I’ve failed to mention are The Exorcist, The Omen , Some Zombie movies because I feel as though these type of movies I will watch and I will still jump out of my seat, it’s got to be a world ending thing now for everyone to be scared of. 28 days later & 28 weeks later changed up the whole scary movie thing . . . . zombie’s can run now?? Who made this rule up? Who allowed you to change the rule book? This change your perspective on how things change when one director adds something new to something that has been slow moving since “Night of the Living Dead” (1968)
Are there really any scary movies anymore?? YES AND NO because something that might scare you might not scare someone else

It isn’t what you HEARD it is what you KNOW!!
So we all have been the victims of “I heard” ,“So John Doe did this from what I heard” ,”I don’t know, but I heard” so we normally believe whatever we hear just because we know the person who is telling us is usually a credible source. Do we actually do our research though? Think about it, is what you hear actually what the person that told you heard? Think of it as a game of telephone, you have a row of 10 people and the first person starts a message that has to get to the last person. By the time it gets to the last person it isn’t even that close to what the first person told the second person. This is poor listening skills and people adding their own little twists in the stories or what they supposedly “HEARD.” You have to think about the title again “It isn’t what you HEARD it is what you KNOW” and continue telling yourself that.
I have been put in a couple situations where people are just like, “Kevin I heard that person isn’t good, they always talking about someone behind their back. I heard that they are rude and disrespectful.” Personally, I use to go off of what people “HEARD” but I grew up and made my own decisions. I actually got to know the person and come to find out they didn’t do any of what that person said. They where goal oriented had their life on track and didn’t care about things that were being said. To me you have to come up with the decision on your own, you can’t just go with what people said and decide okay “So and so heard this about that person or group of people I’m just going to listen to them.”
This also applies to groups of people as well, “I heard all you Haitians and Africans are the same, dirty, color blind and straight off the boat.” Before I smack the mess out of you get your facts straight, KNOW what you are talking about before opening your mouth. You can’t generalize on a group of people just because of what you HEARD, hearing one thing and knowing another are two different things in itself.
KNOWing is the key to getting around in the world, actually KNOWing something makes you a smarter individual. If you don’t know, don’t say anything about it pretty much MYOB (one of my previous topics). Jumping to conclusions can sometimes make things go sideways especially if you don’t know exactly what’s up. Next time though, when someone says’s “Oh I heard this about such and such” and don’t actually KNOW what they heard get your OWN facts, be your OWN person and make your OWN decisions
Disclaimer: “I heard” can be something else as well so don’t think I only know of one, there are many. For example, I was at a party and I heard Bob and Sam arguing and trading blows in the next rooms. Someone comes up to me and ask me what happen “Well I heard them arguing about blah blah blah” get it? For the stupid people who can’t read between the lines you’re shit out of luck

Searching For Partners In All The Wrong Places
Sometimes when we are looking for a significant other we look at the most unnecessary places or just not the right places at all. Why? That’s we do as humans we think it’s okay to look for people anywhere and see no wrong in it. Have you ever thought that people go to certain places just because they think they won’t be bothered by certain people just because they want to enjoy themselves? People don’t expect to be bothered at certain venues because of how awkward it is such as Funerals, Clubs, the gas station etc.
Location: Club
This is the NORM for some people to bag and tag partners in the party scene. Usually the club is a “iffy” place because most clubs aren’t meant for you to look for a partner at. People go to clubs to have fun, enjoy themselves, get there swerve on, relieve some stress and just do them with their friends. If your intentions every time is to walk into a club and be like “Ima bag that person right there and that one too” then you definitely not enjoying yourself. Sometimes it’s not even the social setting for something like that at all. Lounges are SOMETIMES places to socialize with people and get to know them at, but if people are trying to dance and tell you to step off then that really isn’t a good environment to be searching for a partner. It’s okay to make friends with them and go about your own thing but if you’re trying to be more than just a friend within that 4-5 hour timeframe and hang around them the whole time asking them a million questions about them while they are trying to have a good time that’s not a good look at all.
Location: FuneralYou’re at a family, friends, someone you know funeral and your paying your last respect for a person you know. This is usually a time to reflect on the times you spent with them and the happy moments in life. There are always those people who try to get you at your weakest time and feel that it will benefit them. I feel as though this is just completely disrespectful, them trying to mourn a loss and you coming in to try and bag them. This is the wrong setting for something like this its cool if you talk to them and comfort them through the situation, but if your intentions are just to get with them cause there at their weakest point this is filthy and disgusting and you should rethink who you are as a person.
Location: Gas Station
I think this has to be the worst setting especially if you’re in a rush to go somewhere (that’s usually ALL the time) and someone stops you and tries to have a long conversation with you. Just take my number and we can text each other at another point in time and point but your bout to make me late so move out the way. If you got the time go right ahead but me personally the only time I need gas is when I need to be somewhere important and fast and if someone came up to me asking 21 questions about my life I would just give her my number and I’ll forward her my resume later.
Searching for a partner where ever you go should not be a priority on your list you should just get to know people and figure out what you do from there. There is always a time and place for everything but these particular situations you have to know exactly WHEN and WHERE the right time to do these.

Is It Real Love?
When we think about love we think about many different things like the love you have for your parents, family, friends, food, shirt, sneakers, phone etc. The love I will be talking about is the love that people say they have for each other such as the love of a friend, the love for a significant other, etc. We, as humans, tend to throw the word love around sometimes not even understanding what it means or “WHY” we have love for each other.
To have love for a friend is to say that you trust them in a sense and you have their back no matter what the situation. To have love for a friend is something that is as deep as calling someone your BEST FRIEND, it’s like they are your extended family and you trust them. I have people that I love as an extended family because I grew up with them and I trust them with a lot of things. These people I feel as though whenever I am going through something they are always there to pick me up no matter what. I won’t hit them up for 2-3 days and they will call me like “You better have a reason for not checking in with me.” You will fight with these people toe to toe and be mad about random issues but at the end of the day you laugh it off and still have love for them.
To have love for a significant other is a very tricky subject because some people throw the world love around when they want to keep someone, make someone feel special or just want to use it because it sounds good. Before having love for a significant other ask yourself these questions,
1. When you’re with them do you feel as if you are on another planet with just them on your mind and in your heart?
2. Does the world seem brighter and more beautiful than usual?
3. Do you wake up and go to sleep feeling completed?
4. When you are away from them for a long period of time do you only think about them?
5. Are you able to ignore the negative/imperfect things about them?
6. Can you be 100 percent yourself with them and feel comfortable?
7. Do they make you feel good about yourself?
For me it is a million more questions, but these are the simple key questions that if they can’t fully be answered then sometimes the word love has no meaning. Love is a feeling that comes from inside of you, you necessarily DON’T have to ask yourself these questions to prove that you are in love with somebody but something has to be fueling why you are in love with someone. You can’t be talking to someone for two weeks and feel that they are getting less interested and drop the L bomb on them like it’s the right thing to do, NO IT IS NOT. The other person usually sits there either thinking 1.Is It Real Love? 2.You can't be serious. or 3.Why? Everything takes time you can't rush love or defining why you love someone. With time comes better opportunity for more doors to open with this person and for you to understand more of why you love them and define to yourself and them that it is REAL LOVE.
Live, Laugh and Love that’s all you can do.
