She got her middle name from what?

The story of how some random girl I passed by got her middle name.

So it was pretty early in the morning and I just got to school and began walking to my class. While I was walking near a group of girls I over heard them talking. One of them were talking about how they'd gotten their middle name. She began getting into it and said

Photo Sets: Before practice with Funky Fresh

So this is what happens when you hang out with Funky Fresh Crew and leave them with a camera.

As you would know I was also part of the crew so I was the camera man. The thing is we were waiting till the owners of the studio got there to open the building up and he was running late...really late. So, we had some time on our hands and decided to take pictures.

Career Plans of LJ Larot

So today in my video productions class we were assigned this little document with questions and it was about our career plans now and in the future. So here's what I said and put. I'd like to know your career plans so if you want, answer these questions and put in the comments or shoot me and e-mail (laaarot@gmail.com) or DM on Instagram (@theonlylj) about it!

1.     Did you ever have a dream job? If yes, what was it?

I have multiple dream jobs such as a photographer, professional dancer, filmmaking, fashion designer/own a well-known clothing line, and famous for things I like to do.

2.     What is your current career goal?

My current career goal is to be well known for my photography, film making and push my clothing line. With those I’d like to continue it onto college and beyond.

3.     Is it different that your dream job.  If so, why?

No, the things I do now I’d like to continue it on later in life in college or as a career because I’m interested in it and like to do those things.

4.     What are your post-secondary (after high school) plans? (college, military, entry level position, family business?). 

After high school I’m planning to move out right away and experience living on my own or with a good friend. Also, I would like to attend a community college and then transfer when available.

5.     Have you considered any colleges? If so, which ones?

I have considered some colleges, but I do not have anything specific.

I'll try to update this post and put some submissions once I get some.

Video Productions

9-22-15

Hey guys I'm trying to upload on this more often again. 

So today I was in my video production 2 class and we were going over a new canon camera that the school got. My friend Nick is pretty much our teachers apprentice or just favorite student. He was just going over the basics of the camera and its functions. The camera is $5000+ not including the equipment for it. So it could be a another $1000 for that. Makes me want to get into making videos professionally and as a job.

My current relationship.

So...yes I have a girlfriend. To be honest this is actually my first serious relationship with a girl. So I'm scared out of my mind on how to handle this. Well not really scared but I don't know what to do nor how to handle it very well.

Don't get me wrong I'm trying my best to be the best not just for her but for myself also. I want to experience how a relationship works and as of now, with her it's amazing. I don't want to get too cheesy about it but yeah it's true. I know I don't have to put our relationship out there but I don't have anything to hide, I don't want to keep what I feel bottled up and really just want to show her off to the world. 

It's nice having her company...it truly is.

So this is where I tell my story on how we met and became a couple...skip it if you want lol.

Like we didn't just meet and started dating off the bat. We met at an In-N-Out through our friend and then we all went to a party together. We ended up going to my place after and she left in the morning. She ended up leaving her blanket here and came back a couple days later. That's when we started to hang out. A lot.

She was different and it got my attention. I didn't expect anything such as a relationship. We were just genuinely hanging out and having a good time as friends. We got a little closer as weeks passed by. Then, she left for London. I wasn't really sad . She wasn't my girlfriend at the time so it didn't bother me that she was gone. But then we did FaceTime once...and then it became FaceTiming like everyday with her. 

Once she came back a month later we started hanging out more and then randomly just asked her if she was my girlfriend and she said yeah. Now we're here...

Me being a "player" ?

So today was my first day back at school as a senior! I know right? I'm getting old. So you know the basics just teachers talking and going over the same boring things.

The thing I want to talk about is what happened after school. I was catching up with some of my friends and then I started talking to one of them while I was walking to my car. She was asking that if I really had a girlfriend. Like she said "Do you really really have a girlfriend?" I was shocked for her to say that..say that do you really? I told her what that was supposed to mean after saying yes. She told me that most of her friends and other girls know me as a player. Then she went on saying that ever since she met me in 8th grade it has always been girls liking me and I'd "play" here and there. 

If I really was then okay, but it's not that I didn't want girlfriend so much. I would've stopped my player ways if I found a girl that I REALLY wanted to be with. It was because no girl has really caught my eye until now...

And if my baby girl is reading this, hi ;)

I give up.

It hurts to be called names by others and your peers. It's worst when your called names by your parents. Them calling you a "worthless piece of crap" and just them just going on and on, on how you are one. That hurts. 

Of course, I don't think they mean if. They just want you to be at your best at all times. Yet, it just seems they want you to be miserable. Hoesnlty I'm just here sitting in my room thinking, what can I do to improve myself.

I can't, I've gotten to the point where I can't function properly whenever my parents get mad at me for something so little. Well it's not that, it's them explaining and just again, going on and on about the situation. That's what I hate, not the task or chore itself, it's them just rambling on what I should do better and whatnot. 

Whenever I try to improve myself it's just selfish and for my own benefit...according to my parent that is. I guess this is just normal phase of a teenager? I don't know. 

I've been trying so hard to balance everything in my life that I don't know to handle it. It just ends up crashing. It's pretty much...I do well in one thing then I do something else and the other thing I did well just ends up collapsing before I can realize it. 

It just sucks. Shocker isn't it?
