Bad Dream.
It's me on the floor watching T.V. & brittnee on the couch with a guy I dont even talk to but it seemed like we were trying to get along tonight. Brittnee is laying between his legs and Dino is laying with a guy next to brittnee and her dude. We are all laughing and joking around, smiling. There was something on the T.V. like the awards, no it was the music channel, 907. My Moms room was next door how it used to be at the old house and it was next 2 my room which was now the living room of the house. A bed was there as i layed on my side and Jasmine comes down there and she wants 2 lay down with me & I dont react so she turns around and goes upstairs. Then i start making my bed up and there were 5 pillows. Then I layed on my bed. I usually only sleep with 2 pillows. Then My Mom yells from the other room"Paul, be nice to her before you dont have anymore friends".
I go upstairs to look for Jasmine and I go into brittnee and byrons room and byron is in there sitting at a table. Bree comes in with a lot of friends and family & they are dancing to a song i cant even remember. So I say Happy Birthday Bomb . Bree & Byron says " Her Birthday passed already" & Dominique says the same thing...I said " I know i just didnt get 2 see her on her bday thats why I was saying so now". Byron caught himself an attitude towards me.
Im walking out and I Look at Bree's face and It looks like jourdans face. So its not really Bree, but every1 is saying it is her, including myself. There are 2 feminine looking dudes at the door as i walk out, dancing and saying " this is our song!"
I continue 2 walk and see 2 more guys who came with bree, 1 of them had a beard. He says to me " Aye Man somebody stole those same shoes from me today" . I laugh then he laughs as I look down at my all royal blue pro models w/ the red stripes. Then he said " Yea Man they stole em when i was up at pepperdine". I said " I might be transferring there, i went to hampton last year, now I go to el camino then Ima transfer to pepperdine". He said " man, thats cool".
I keep walking into the next room and brittnee and this same dude are making out & jasmine is on another bed trying to go to sleep. I go up to her to pick her up and take her back to the room w/ me to be nice & she throws my arms off and says" You need it that bad?!" With a smile on her face. I walk out and then there are helicopters & sirens I only can hear but I cant see them. Im in the car with my Mom and we are driving through these gates that are open just wide enough for us to barely drive through. We drove through about 10 of them.
I began to think about birthdays and I think about Bree's Birthday and Byrons Bday tomorrow & I say in my head
{My thoughts}
" I hate him and his attitude, we probably wont even talk on his birthday, Im not gonna tell him happy bday and he prolly wont tell me happy birthday either". Then I think further " I need to ask India when her exact birthday is again, I cant really remember even tho I asked her already...
Im going to get her a double hearted gold necklace and just keep it put up until i find out her birthday".
My Mom and I finally pass through the last gate & some how we make a left but we are driving the oppososite way we turned...
We see Dominique and Bree with their bags as if they were going to a sleepover or something and Dino is just yelling " Bitch! Bitch! damn Man Leave me alone! I swear! I hate Him! and she's just jumping and yelling..
My Mom just drives by and she appears to be sweating like when she's been doing to much work in the kitchen. I say " Mom, I hate this" I really do. Moms is just mumbling and I really cant hear but im barely listening because dino is still walking and yelling down the street. I say again " I hate that when every1 has a problem or gets in trouble, they blame it on me Mom, always". She sits there and continues 2 drive and then there are two mexicans that appear from no where on bikes right in front of us, 2 gang bangers 1 with a white beater on and the other with a blue LA button up and a Blue bandana... They're shooting to the left as they are right in front of us. Im yelling " Mom turn around! turn around! the two dudes werent shooting at us but they keep shooting to the left . My Mom keeps driving straight and dominique is in the car behind us now because i hear her say " niggas out here shootin n'shit".
The 2 mexicans turn left down a street never looking back at us ande My Mom looks at them as they ride away and shoot, and says "Damn Mexicans!". She says it but she says it in a regular tone and then she looks back straight and keeps driving. I look back and Dino, Bree and the Car they were in are gone. I see those 2 Mexicans again. They have their guns in their hands and they're fighting this black dude 2 on 1. I Look back aqgain and I see that the dude is lebre. I said Mom turn around! turn around! turn around!
She keeps driving straightand she has this motionless expression on her face as if she isnt really feeling well. I say Mom! turn around! I gotta go protect lebre. I grab the steering wheel and i try to make a U-turn right, then left and i couldnt while reaching over my Mom.
My Mom says slowly "You always gotta take care of your brothers and sisters".
I look at her and she's sweating Perfusley and seems to be breathing slower. I say Mom are you ok? she Knods her head in a yes motiion as she turns right into a drive way.
I get out and run to the corner and im looking as the dudes are beating up my brother, lebre is fighting back tho. I yell "here i come bro!" I run back to the car and i get back in the passenger seat. I look to My Mom and she wasnt there. I hop out the car and run around to her side and she is laying there on her back face up. I yell " Mom, Mom and I picked her up and im beginning to cry as im holding her and shes getting heavy.... She was dying in my ars and she had this eye opening look on her face that made me feel of her pain. I thought to call 911 but i just stood there crying with her in my hands. I looked back down the street and lebre and the 2 dudes werent there anymore, just the two bikes. there was this music playing and it was making me cry even more.
Then I woke up and the end of the song that was on the music channel 907. I started Crying.... Then i got 2 random text messages from Carelle and Tia . two people I havent talked to in a while. I continue to cry and Uncle B is asking me whats wrong and If im ok. He was like" You aiite P? P! You alright ?"
I popped up out of bed and wrote this bad dream down on paper, and I just typed it onto my blog now...

Let Go Let God.
Ive been so sad lately. So disappointed. Ive been a different person and it hasnt been a great feeling. Mad about certain circumstances and situation sive been placed in but I dont really have to be mad. I havent really been thankful and i havent realized the important things in life.
I have been blessed with so much, sometimes i seem to overlook those things and thats not good. Im a better person when my attitude is good, when im smiling and when I am energetic and vivacious. Thats PD. I cannot allow people or anything else to control my mental state anymore. I have to be able to make ME happy.
I dont wanna be frustrated anymore or depressed or sad or feeling like givin up, i dont. I wanna be happy and i wanna enjoy my blessings. I give everything to God and I pray that he puts me back on my feet. I Pray for strength mentally and physically. My emotions have been so tied up and twisted. I need 2 relaxx and I think that is what i will do.
I gotta be me at all times no matter what.

Grab whatever you want.

ahhhhhh!
The Joy.
Of Life...
Life and its blessings.
So many take for granted.
What I cherish.
Life is too Precious.
2 Be so stubborn.
Would you have rather not been born?
You complain about material and possession.
Not learning 4rm your last lessons.
Humble yourself.
Maybe you will realize the true meaning...
Of all of those things you seem so confused about.
Try Observation.
haha Im so Happy!
Life is amazing.
Every day I Live to thee fullest.
Because Perfection is what I am Chasing.
I will not apologize for Loving my Family more than I Love myself.
I refuse to stop Loving my Basketball before any1 else.
My Life is in order.
I have all thee assistance I need.
theres more to Life than Love.
Yes, there is.
There is Success. Priority. Peace with oneself. Laughing. trying to better yourself. Creating a stable environment for yourself...
Theres more to Love than the "just the thought"
Love is a Bond. My Love is My Family.
My Love is H00pin. My Love Is God.
My Love is a smile on any and everyz Face.
Love can get too emotional...
I keep Love on My heart.
but i refuse 2 abuse it like every1 else in this world does. I wont.
I will Live with love but I will not Die because of it.
Love does push me tho0...
It has fueled me to be who I am Now.
Love makes me Drive, harder and harder...
Its passionate blessing and reward provides me with this hunger that makes me want to Win, more and More...
Life. I Need it..
The surroundings make me wanna go see more.
I have Life by its wings.
Im floating and soaring..
I wake up with tha same smile i fell asleep with lol
there is a constant feeling of how close i keep getting to this Dream...
like its happening rite in front of ma eyes.
I keep realizing so many blessings.
theyre all just in disguise.
so many ppl dont understand that.
but im truely blessed.
I have what i want and need.
no need for greed.
im on top of my world.
when i make it ill be on top of THE world.
Then I wont say a word.
Because my work and Success will speak 4 itself...
Jus as it does Now. lol
Amazing as Life is people worry about watever they can juss to create a crutch 4 themselves.. a handicap..
I already have a chip on my shoulder i dnt have 2 acknowledge my situation or wat ive been throught anymore because i am who I am and My past present and future are all visible in who I am.
ahhhhh!!!!!! Yall better Grab watever yall want while you can get...
Cuz Im takin anything and everything i can get bcuz Im hungry 4 it... ima get leftovers too.

I am me & no One Can be a Better me than Me....
I am a young Black 18 year old Man.
I am a Man of God and I have been my whole entire Life.
Ive never gang banged... Ive never been suspended or expelled from school.
Ive never even gotten myself into a Real fight...
Thats just who I am.
I am 1 of the most caring persons all the people in my Life speak highly of...
I graduated highschool with no problems. I was accepted to all 9 college/universities I applied to.
I am a Lover.
I have people who do not like me and those who may be envious of my success and then there are those who just dont have much reason 4 anything but that's not my business...
Im a student of Life because every situation i put myself in I learn from it wether it turns out good or bad...
I dont dwell on anything because Id rather jus be grateful for what I DO have instead of dwelling on what i have lost in either a friendship or a certain position...
At the end of the Day Im gonna smile regardless... some people dont realize the reason why Im always so0 excited about Life.
Im like that bcuz what surrounds me doesnt allow me 2 smile... So0 I go against whats going on in the streets or in the hospitals and cemetaries and I SMILE.
Im a very happy person and I am very Goal oriented not only 4 me but for my Kids...
My Kids being Lebre, Dominique, Brittnee and Byron...
Byron barely talks 2 his other side of his Family, hates his dad and does shit his way bcuz no1 showed him wat was right, I did. Now he comes home n takes that trash out, works part time and goes to school part & still finds time to rap... he aint jus a "Compton Nigga" no more... he's not unwanted and He fits in because he is who he is and don't gotta front about nothin no more.. We let him be who he wants 2 be. & best believe when somthns goin on he comes 2 his Big bro...
Lebre. Man Lebre I aint even gonna tell all my brothers Buzzness but many don't understand what this Lil Dude has been through from the night we got shot to my Mom adoptin him and him losing his parents... Man Yall don't know how strong this Kid is... You know what he calls himself? Lebre Anthony after his Big Brother. Me. he has confidence and he's more focused on School & Ball Now... he aint bangin no more... And people say he's even a lil cocky now and u know what.. thas better than Lebre walkin around with his head down filled wit sorrow and hopelessness like he used 2 be.
Brittnee. my sweet sister who is the oldest sister but somtimes it seems as tho shes the youngest because of her situation. She's very special. Materialistic n worried about everything and every1 around her but she tries so hard to make sure her Family is ok... She was born early, the size of a stapler, almost died at birth. She has scholiosis, and esphasia, which is a brain disease but she's makin it juss fine. She has the highest grades out of all the badd kidsss and I wonder why? Because she tries her best to do so. she studies and yea she watches her favbortie shows but shes quick to make sure she reads those chapters for school 1st. She tries to find excuses knowing that if she tries her best, she can do anything jusat as well as any1 else... She tried to stay home from school 2day and i said wats wrong? she said my back hurts so ima stay home. I said No your not tha week is almost over, why slack off when ur doing so well? i told her 2 hurry up n put some clothes on and get ready 2 go to school. 20 minutes later she was walking out the door "by brother" on her way to school. I Love ma Britt mama
Lastly but of course not least because I probably have more kids than I know of... LoL
Little me every1 says....
Dominique Davis. A Rebel, like me. She's a piece of work. But shes been through jus as much as tha rest of us... Since Day 1 when he left, he broke her heart. her hate for him has been instilled in her heart 4 a while now... he's forgotten her birthday multple years and it kills her 2 see him. her father. our Father. "yalls Dad" as she would say... Dominique used 2 be shy and quiet, never outgoing and didnt really have an identity. so I introduced her 2 basketball and she got tha hang of it, actually pretty good she was at anearly age... From then on she wanted 2 try new things after being scared most of her Life not wanting to leave Mommy's side... I set Dino free. She is the most outgoing person in tha Family now and shes crazy, loving and she mad helpful but at tha same time she does mess with any1 whos against her family... She loves her Family. She loves me. she always make sure that if Im happy tha Family will be Fine because I am the Father she never had... Im her father/brother... She's not the best student due to her laziness and unwillingness to learn but shes growing up.. Along with her died hair and mood swings she is growing up. She has always gotten into it at all the holiday get togethers with my grandma, and its only bcuz shes so different and shes her own person and thats y i Love her... if she got them grades straight she really could do whatever she wants and im tryna get her 2 see that... Its so0 stressful tho when ur so0 Loving and then when u dont feel loved back, that hurts but dino keeps it in... Xcept when shes around her Mom or Me. every1s always on her from her uncles to her grandmother.... Dinocious will be juss fine tho and ima get her to and through graduation best believe that!
Those are ma Kids...
& the Mother who is the Angel of the Family...
Amy Davis. I could go on and on and on forever because thats how amazing she is to sooo many. Everyone really realizes how much of a blessed individual my Mom is. she pushes all of us to the limit. She has the Biggest heart in the world. She has 3 different disease and she still finds time 2 be the best Mom in the world... we alll have her back... She's probably been through the most and this iz true.... My Mom is the reason Im go0ing to make it. She is my everything case closed. I can go on 4ever man...
Now if anyone is wondering why Im always buzy, its bcuz of them and thats more important than anything else in the world to me....
I am a student, an athlete, a brother/father, a friend, a christian Man, and I am a hard worker...
every1 goes through their own things and has there share of problems... I dont call these things problemss....
I call them blessings because they teach us the importance of thins like family and freinds...
I aint never been the type 2 beg for no friendship and i aint never been the type to hurt any1... I make mistakes. People make mistakes. I learn from it and i keep pushin.. people enter and exit our lives everyday... Im not gonna dwell jus bcuz u may not like me or u may want this or that...
If we cool we cool. if u dont like me, im still cool with who u are as long as u havent caused me any harm bcuz das who i am..
Im not conceited or cocky...Im not negative or rude.. Im not disrespectful... Ive made alotta mistakes and Im not a Loser.. im not a half ass dude..
I have goals. I have aspirations and my goals and aspirations believe it or not include more than myself..
For those who really really know me, they know all of this already and if u didnt u know now and believe it or not... nothing will make or break me. Trust me... Lol
I Love Life and the people in my life...
I am Paul Davis.
Like no other....

The Man.
(deeep breath) Hhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sittin' here thinkin' about when everybody would go partyin' on da weekends, week days although they had work in da A.M.
I remember when every1 had they little relationship and after they didnt work every1 jus exchanged boyfriends and girlfriends and "kept it in tha crew"
The limos, the Bud, the Parties, the BIG sleepovers, the Sex, The Vision i still have for some odD Reason...
The Change...
Seems like I was just a Kid while all dat was goin on, I was. I wasnt tha same kid that went 2 sleep at 9 p.m. after watchn cartoons and eating dinner and taking a bath...
I didnt sleep, I waited 4 Momz 2 come home from tha parties, I waited 2 see that Uncle and Aunt do wat they did on those certain nights...
I observed wat went on around me and I learned about things real quick...
I grew up watching and taking in the message of each situation, the right, the wrong.
I studied people, actions, reactions and the events that held all of thosee...
Didnt know wat stress was or death, or even drugs and all dat jazz... i didnt know what it was...
I learned quick...
Now it seems like after everything has gone on over the years... people have left, new people have come in and things have changed in Big ways...
No more partyin', still smokin' but not even as much... No late LATE nights, still some sleepless nights 4 me due 2 these thoughts that stay in ma head...
I grew... I watched people kill themselves. Ive watched people grow, like My Momz. Ive watched people succeed and fail... Ive watched people give in... Ive watched people keep goin.. I met God. he took me under his wing...
Things aint tha same....
This is why u gotta partake in things like COLLEGE, WORK, SPORTS, NEW PLACES/TRAVEL...
there aint nothing where we at... thing shave changed and things have gotten worse, some things have changed 4 the better...
People change and they become influenced, or they want 2 try someTHIN new & get caught....
Ive changed, for the better...
Ive Grown, 2 be Me.
Ive become, a Man...
No drinkin' , no smokin' , no gangs, No negativity, No influence, No fall backs, No givin up, no loss of focus....
Im still growin' and its hard 2 grow around shit that u really dont wanna see... sometimes i wanna cry because this shit jus aint right...
them same Uncles doin this now..
them aunts aint nowhere 2 be found...
My Mom has a disease now...
She cant even work...
But Im here. for a reason? Im here. 2 be The Man.
aint No father runninj in n out of tha house... aint no step Dad aint No otha NIGGA handlin his Business in this family...
Papa did handle his business, but papas gone 2 heaven...
Im here. for a reason? Im here. Im doing well.
I got more sense than tha niggas thas supposed 2 have more sense... Im focused and I have goals and I have God in my heart. I have ma stuff 2gether...
Itsalmost as if Its contagious 2 be a lazy unsuccessful nigga in this Family wit No responsibility and this is comin straight from ma heart and its makin me wanna cry cuz Imtha only 1. That shit aint special 2 me, its sad cuz im sposd 2 have som1 to look up2 also... what if i have a question or a concern Man...
My Little brothers are gonna be successful too, i can promise u that and we gettin tha fu*k out of this peice of sh*t part of this world... Im tired of being Ok 1 day then Bad anotha day then Iono on otha days....
Im The Man. Ive been the Man. I really gotta Be The Man now.

Big Dreams.
I have written in a while and i dont know if I've been too busy or if my thoughts were'nt ready to come out yet. I do know that I feel like writing right now. I have alot on my mind and there is so much going on that needs to be written down in some type of way, so I am going to do what I do Best.
Write what I feel...
So im home. I left HU the otha day on May 7th at Noon and got to Vegas at 220 after the most horriffic flight I have ever experienced. My head began to spin, my stomach ached and I was really about to throw up. I broke out in a mean sweat after sleeping the whole entire 5 hours on the plane in big ass black hoody on, like an idiot. This nice lady sitting next to me helped me make it through that last 20 minutes of landing. It felt like we were never going to land. So im off the plane sickly as hell and I go get some vanilla icecream LOL and a Large sprite. I sat down, 5 minutes later i got up 2 refill my sprite then i ended up getting a slice of Pizza from Sbarro's and I completely did not eat that nasty junk!
The next flight was from Vegas to California, my favorite. It lasted 50 minutes and I survived that as well LOL.The main Point is IM HOME!!!
Enough of the small talk.
Man, im home and everything seems the same az when I left. I gueSs this is what everyone says, yOU GO AWAY FROM COLLEGE AND WHEN YOU get back you see every1 doin da same Sh*T.

I got home and ate 3 bowls of ma momz beef stew! Then i had vanilla icecream...

I enjoy being Blessed. I enjoy being me.
I have noticed some things this year.
People pay attention 2 everything you do when you usually do the right thingz.
They wanna wait til u do Bad.
There are so0 many people who will be your friend while your on top.
They wont be there when you fall.
When you have succeeded. They want tha same.
& when you Fail. You are the Blame.
Who made people this way???
I noticed a lot of little things...
Why would som1 want 2 see you fail? or lose? or be in pain?
what kind of person leaves u hangin???
Im glad im a Real person. Im just glad 2 be Me.
Some people dont understANd that...
2 accomplish somethin' in life, all u need is a Dream.
U gota Dream now u need hope.
wit hope u can apply urself...
try new things
take chances
be yourself...
and Xpect what im about 2 talk about as ur journey continues and u make a name 4 urself...
Being Paul Davis.
2day at tha courts i played 2 games of 2 on 2.
ma team lost tha 1st game and da 2nd we didnt finish...
a 5 on5 game begins and its good.
im playing very well and im hooping afta being so0 excited about the workouts i have scheduled with schools 4 when i get home.
So0 we are playing and the game gets intense like every game does when im on tha court and there are people on the sidelines baselines and 4rm windows n all...
everyones cheerin on and then i began 2 realize that they wanted ma team 2 lose.
the hype they gave tha players i went against was unbelievably amazing to me.
I payed it no mind on the court and i continued 2 play well as they expected me 2 give in and get frustrated....
i did not get frustrated and i stayed in my mode.
my team lost...
but once again those ppl made me a better Paul Davvis on the court...
My mental strength provided me with a comfort in ma game that i never really experienced fully until 2day...
Also...
I was at a friends house and some yung ladies were speaking about me in terms of girls i talk or have talkd to...
they said i talk 2 dumb girls...
i said wat do u mean dumb?
they said the girls u talk 2...
i said i have agirlfriend and shes on the deans list so0 wat does that say?
they ignored me
i got over it asap and i thought, "wow is there job 2 hate on me bcuz i dnt talk2 them?"
Yea thats wat it is when u are who u are... jus a nice dude tryna continue 2 do nice things with his life...
these are small but there have been bigger things that result in me becoming a better person so0 that i dnt end up like the next hater or jealous type or evil or spiteful person bcuz thats not me and that will never be Paul davis....
and u know this Mannnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At least four murders break moratorium in L.A. County
Watts: Christopher Tobias, a 38-year-old black man, was shot and killed in the 2000 block of 105th St. in Watts at about noon Saturday, April 5. Police said Tobias was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 12:48 p.m.
South-Central: Shortly after, Gary Walker, a 31-year-old black man, was shot multiple times as he stood in an alley near a parking lot of an apartment building at 1420 W. 38th St. in South-Central L.A. He was also taken by ambulance to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:26 p.m.
Monterey Park: At about 1:19 p.m. Sunday, April 6, two Latino men were shot in Monterey Park. Paramedics pronounced Alfred Chavez, a 23-year-old Latino man, dead at the scene at 2:08 a.m. According to L.A. County Sheriff's Department, the second man was hospitalized and is recovering.
North Hollywood: Hours after Chavez's death, Dennis Runner, 23, a white man, was shot multiple times in the head at about 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of Lankershim Boulevard and Sherman Way in North Hollywood. According to police spokesperson Ana Aguirre, the suspect, described as a Latino man, fled in a burgundy four-door Scion. Police said Dennis was sitting inside a vehicle parked in front of a liquor store when he was shot. He was transported to Providence Holy Cross Medical Center, said Aguirre. Runner was pronounced dead at 10:05 p.m.
The coroner also reported the death of Rodney Curry, a 38-year-old black man mortally wounded in a shooting, at 3:01 p.m. Saturday, April 5. But investigators had no information about the date and time of the shooting.
The shootings occurred during a 40-hour symbolic "murder moratorium" called for by civil rights activists to mark the 40th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. The moratorium to promote peace, justice and nonviolence had started at 6:01 p.m. Friday, 40 years to the minute after King was assassinated in Memphis. The moratorium ended at 10:01 a.m. Sunday.
On Monday, Eddie Jones, president of the Los Angeles Civil Rights Association, said the moratorium was a success despite the multiple murders. "There wasn't a great loss of life," said Jones. He said in the past there had been greater number of lives lost to gun and gang violence. "We sent out a beautiful message: stop the killings. Save a human life. Respect one another. Have some dignity in yourselves. Stop hurting one another and save our children," said Jones. As for those responsible for the homicides , Jones said, "Only God knows everything."
Update: There were a total of three murders during the "murder moratorium." Runner's death on Sunday, April 6, was not considered one of the four homicides. The L.A. County Coroner said Tuesday, April 8, that Rodney Curry, 38, a black man, may have died from an old gunshot wound he received several years ago and therefore would not be considered among any of the homicides that actually occurred during the moratorium.
