Nuttin new... but damn!

Hi everyone! Wut's crackalackin wit y'all?
Not a lot here...
Actually yesterday I didn't even get on here! I was so addicted, but I missed a day here! But not my fault, my brother just spent here the whole day so I didn't get a chance to do anything. It's all good though, still love him.
So today I went to take some pics for my passport. I hate takin pics, I always look bad! I mean, at least on the small ones, cuz on the others where I'm hangin out wit buddies or sumtin like that, I don't feel ridiculous. But on there...I mean, even the lady who was takin my pic was like "u should try to relax a lil' bit..." I was so nervous. I don't know why I get like that though. I guess I just don't like the spotlight that much... But finally I got my pics! They don't look that bad for me...but then again, I just wanted to get it over wit quick! Wish I could put them on here, but my scanner's kinda f***ed up, so that'll have to wait.
Oh, another thing! I made a quiz for my friends to answer. I wasn't expecting many people to get 100%, but my best friend Rui did...and Daniela did too!! I mean, I met her on an exchange student meet here in Portugal. We were only together for like 2 days. She's a pretty cool girl, very funny too. But we didn't share that much information about me. I mean, I'm simple and all, but how could she've guessed my favorite kind of music and my fav rapper and stuff like that?! Whoa Triny (that's her nickname)... Didn't know u could see all that right thru me!! But congratulations girl! U know a lot about me now! Most of the stuff u prolly just guessed anyways, but it's all good =)
Aight peeps, I'm out. Got some workout to do if I wanna be in top shape next season. I'll holla when I get back! PEACE!

Beach basketball

Hey homies! Wut the deal yo?
Tonight I went to play some basketball by the beach at Carcavelos. It was so great! I went with my best friend Rui. When we got there, we just shot a round for a lil' bit cuz it was just the 2 of us, but then some brazilian guys showed up, so we played a lil' 2 on 2. At first I was just like wutever, let's just have fun like I always am. Rui had the same idea and started crossin up one of the guys. And he kept on fallin for it! I was like damn, give that guy a break! I mean, Rui has a bit of a confidence problem. He's always like "Oh, I don't play well, I don't know how to shoot...blah blah blah." All this giberish and wut not. But I'm always helpin him out too. We do that for each other, that's why we like brothers. So anyways, he started showin some good handles and shots. I mean, pretty good for someone who doesn't play that often! He has game, he just don't like to admit it. So I guess that playin around helped him wit that also. Of course I had to do my share too, so I crossed, dunked, shot.... U name it, I did it. But all this wasn't playin for real. And we found that out when we started losing. Didn't like it, so i had to step up my game. So I had to play harder than I did. We ended up winning 100-94. Not bad for a 2 on 2 game. I just learned that I still got a lot of work to do though. Gotta work on my jumpshot and my handles if I wanna be the go-to-guy next season. OK, I won't be cuz of Jason, who's the american on our team. And that boy can play! But I will be the guy to go to if Jason doesn't get open. And I damn straight will do wut they expect me to! Cuz I'm J.C., Jumpkid in the place to be and I got wut it takes to rock the rim right, YEAH! =) Aight G's and ladies, I'm gonna shower and then go to bed, so I'll holla at y'all later. RESPECT!

How patient am I?....

Hey my peeps! Once again droppin a post so y'all can have some fun readin'!
Today I couldn't go play ball, I had to go wit my mom get some groceries for the house. Or at least that's wut she said. I was like "Aight, I'll help her out and I'll get back home in time to go shoot some hoops." Hell naw!! First she took a hell of a time gettin ready! We were supposed to leave the house at 4h15 p.m. and we only left one hour after that! Then when we got there she decided to buy some clothes, so I had to follow her around while shee looked throughout the store for clothes. That took another hour and a half. Ok, I wasn't mad. I mean, women take a long time shopping, right? Dunno why, but that's nature, i guess. After gettin new clothes and underwear, we finally went to get the groceries. Another half hour. So, cuttin this short, I had to stay watching my mom shop around and I didn't get to go have some fun. I ain't mad at her at all though, I love her to death. But next time, she may warn me before takin me to get some clothes, just so I can prepare myself better for that... Lookin it on the bright side, I did spend more time with my mom, and I did sneak 3 t-shirts, a pair of shorts and 2 pairs of socks into the cart, so patience paid off =D "Remember, when you're about to lose it, it pays to be patient!" heheh. Now I'm out to play some Championship Manager. Keep it real homies!

Thank You! And I'm so sorry!!

Wut up fellas?! Chillin here, doin a whole lot of nuttin...
Yesterday I went to play streetball, it was tight and I really needed that! I didn't dunk on anyone, but I did cross some peeps over! hehe, couldn't help it. I was hoping to go today too, but somehow I doubt it....
After my streetball session, I had to go to Atlético (the team I play for) and had a great dinner wit them! After that I had to wait for so long just to get an award. I was named player of the year for Atlético! Well, I dunno how this happened since I didn't play that many minutes per game on the senior team, but I guess it was cuz of the junior team and my influence there. I guess my attitude always helped too. I try to as professional as I can. That paid off. Let's just hope they increase my wage for next year! =p but all this sucked cuz I had planned wit my best friends to go to Carcavelos and play some ball wit them, and by the time I got done with the award ceremony and caught the train to go there, when I got to Carcavelos they were gone already! =( I'm so sorry Rita, I'm so sorry Rui, I'm so sorry Castanheira! It won't happen again, I promise! I really wanted to be there wit y'all, u know how important u guys are to me, but I was unable to! Hope y'all can forgive me!
Oh, just left a comment on the last post of the fantastic 5 blog, check that out too! www.5minutesof.blogspot.com
I feel bad that the fantastic 5 isn't together so often...I mean, I feel that in some way it's my fault. See, we're a group of 2 guys and 3 girls. Johnny, me, Marta, Carla and Pips. Marta and Johnny are dating, Pips and Carla are best friends, and me and Pips used to date. But ever since me and my ex-girl broke up, the group isn't together that many times. Actually, I've only been wit them one time after breaking up. And it's been almost 3 and a half months since that! Besides, they all live in the same area, except for me. I don't feel left out though, not at all! We still talk, so it's all good. We just don't go all out as we used to... =( I wish we would, as much as I wish being back wit Pips. Yep, she's the one for me and the one I was talkin about 2 posts ago. Enough about that now though, that post was too long and prolly no one read it anyways. OK, this one's gettin long too, so Imma bounce! Tomorrow or later on today I'll have some pics hopefully, so me aguarde! ;) Peace out y'all! J.C.

Day after!

Hey peeps! I'm back again! Didn't u miss me?!...................................I guess not....but it's all good, still luv y'all!
So, today is saturday and I'm gettin ready to go play some street ball. Can't wait to go cross some guys up and dunk on someone! Oh, it's true! Even though i'm only 6'0 (1,84 m), i got mad hops. Well, they used to be better, but I'm gonna work on gettin better this summer.
Anyways, I didn't tell u peeps much about me, so Imma do it now. I'm J.C., portuguese. I'm a funny guy who loves to have fun. I'm simple, easy going and kinda shy. Workin on it though!I live in Portugal but lived in the US for 2 yrs. I play for a semi pro team here, but tryin to get to another level, I have a crazy group of friends called the fantastic 5 which i love being part of, although we don't get together that much anymore. Still luv them though. My best friend is Rui, we go way back to 7th grade, I love to dance and chill wit my peeps....wut else?....love music, movies, basketball....ok, i dunno wut else, but as soon as I rememeber, I'll write it here.
So, I got my bball gear on and ready to get my ball on, ao I'll get back at y'all later, aight? RESPECT!

Love....true Love...is it out there?

Hey again! It's been 2 minutes since my 1st post and I already wanna write again! Whoa... adicting.... By the way, I'm portuguese, but I'm writing in english just so anyone can read it. Someday portuguese will be an international language, but not quite yet...heheh.
So, u ask why the title of the post? Cuz that's exactly wut I'm here to talk about!
Do u believe in love at first sight? Do u think there's only one true love in one's life?... Well, I don't believe in love at first sight, it's just too easy and we all know life ain't easy. But about the one true love...I start wondering about that... You see, we all have crushes during our lifetime, big ones, small ones, phyisical ones, all that, but how do we know when it's just a crush or actually love? U just know! When being wit that person becomes so easy that u don't even have to talk to know wut's on their mind, when the fact that being away from him/her makes u feel like everything else doesn't matter, when being wit that person makes ur life brighter and just thinkin of her makes u smile instantly, that's how u know ur in love. But there can't be only one true love, only one person really meant for u in ur life, can it? I mean, if a guy lives in South Africa and the girl meant for him lives in China, them 2 are just S.O.L.! (Shit Outta Luck, in case ur wondering... =p) But life ain't that shitty. Love is out there, where u less expect it. U just gotta open urself to it, don't shut down anyone from ur life just because at first u don't feel good vibes from them. Like I said, just take a deeper look. There's always a meaning to life, and everyone who comes into your life comes into it for a reason. So no doubt that one true love will come into ur life, just open ur heart and let it tell u who it is. Once u find it, it'll all be better. Trust me, it happened to me.
I was a late bloomer, I had my 1st girlfriend when I was 19. I also realized she was my real love a lil' late. I mean, I'm a friendly guy to everyone and I also used to flirt a lot. That wasn't makin her feel comfortable. I changed, but it was a lil' bit too late. She left me. I haven't been the same ever since. It's been 3 months, 1 week and 2 days and counting and I still love her with all my heart. Ok, if it was just a crush, I would have gotten over it already. But I haven't. So that can only mean she was the one for me. I had the girl I ever dreamt of wit me, the most beautiful, caring girl ever. I was loved and I loved back. But somehow I blew it. Maybe I wasn't the one for her, maybe, but you learn also from mistakes. I haven't made anything that couldn't be forgiven. But I guess I can understand her, she doesn't wanna take a chance wit someone like me again. Love is pain, and I'm hurting. She's doing much better without me though, at least that's what she says and acts like. I'll be happy if she finds someone who makes her happier than I did. That's all I want, to see her smiling and to know that she's happy. I still hope someday she'll come back to me though. I'll never give up on her, but I won't insist anymore for her to take me back. It's a decision she has made, so it's up to her too to know if she will take me back or not. I know I made her happy, I know I showed her love. I know that one more chance would be all I needed to make her one of the happiest girls on the world. She's not willing to give me that chance. I'll live, and love her for the rest of my life. I'll always be here for her. To you my love, if u ever get to read this, I wish you the best! I miss you so much it's crazy! I miss you every minute of every day! But I hope you're much better now! You already know, Come what may, I will love you until my dying day! Thank you for everything! =)
So you see, love can do anything. In a relationship there's gotta be trust, innovation, happiness. Those are the things love is made out of. If u have that, everything else will come along easily. Trust me. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love and be loved in return." I know, it may sound rubbish, but it's true. I found that out, and if u haven't, u'll find it out too. Trust ur loved one. If you start thinkin something's wrong, don't think. See wit ur heart. It'll tell u the right thing to do. Sweep ur loved one off his/her feet. Everyday is a new opportunity to win them over again. Simple things are all it takes. Share the fun moments in ur life. When you're together you both will remember them and smile and laugh about them. And when you say "I love you", mean it with all your heart. It's not a word to be used just for the sake of it. Don't say it just to get laid, just because it sounds good. Really mean it. Look into their eyes when saying it. After all this, if it happens to u the same as it did to me, don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. I know I cried a lot, but I find myself lucky to have found love. I am grateful for it. It hurts like a bitch when the one u love doesn't love u in return, but if u already shared moments together, remember them. It'll make u feel better to know how sweet it was to be loved. Time can heal anything, so when u least expect it, you'll be over that one love and be ready for another one. If time doesn't help u out... well, i don't have the answer to that. Time hasn't helped me out, it just made me realize that I'm still deeply in love. Hope is the last to die. I feel like she's the one. I'll live my life, I'll keep on livin it up, open to wutever happens, but I don't think I'll be able to fall in love. I mean, how can u fall in love wit someone if ur still in love wit someone else? U can't, or that's not love. At least not a true one. I just hope this can help someone or at least make someone think deeply about this. Thanks for reading this. I'll keep on writing because I definitely got a lot to get out of my chest. Take care and live it up! PEACE!

The beggining...

Hey y'all! Wut's crackin? Just woke up at 4:30 a.m. and felt like writing, so I decided to create this blog! Got so many stuff to get off my chest that I thought this'd be a great way to do it. I mean, why not share emotions and news with other people from all over?! Sounds good to me! I just don't know if anyone will have the patience to read my blog...heheh. I'll keep it interesting though, don't even sweat! I'll be back soon, so holla if u wanna! PEACE!
