My Christmas/Birthday Gift from my Grandparents

School is going to be Extremely Hectic Next Semester

I'm saying this because it's true...

As of this moment this is what my schedule is like.

I only have classes on Tuesday and Thursday.

8:30-9:45: Introduction for Special Populations at Preston Ridge
10:30-1:35: AVID at McKinney High School
2:30-4:20: ASL II at Spring Creek
4:30-6:50: Online English I
7:00-9:45: (Thursday) Introduction to Education

Now... that's one really busy schedule, Thirteen School Hours and 6 Work Hours packed into two days. It'll be fun!

Far Behind and Yet too Far Ahead

I... I think in trying to keep up with the world, even though I'm still super far behind, I've lost sight of who I am...

Heck, [which has been brought to my attention as a Curse Word and I'm sorry if it bothers you but I didn't grow up using it as anything but an exclamatory remark], I can't even tell people my favorite color, my favorite genre, one of my favorite hobbies without being casted into a stereotype to which I do not belong.

So now I'm stuck in some far off middle area. I'm so far behind in the world that every chance I make to catch up puts me in a position where I don't want to be. I'm too far ahead that when I try to go back to the simple things that please me I can't fully get there, by this I mean with my Art and Schooling. I've found myself in the worst predicament where I'm asking myself "Why am I here doing this?"

So in an attempt to realign myself to who I AM and not what people seem to expect of me I will do a little introductory. Sorta like a party since I've finally moved this blog over to this account ^^

Hi, my name is Jimmy, but my self proclaimed nickname and pen-name is "Simba Po Maliki."

Yes that's right, it's based on the character Simba from the Greatest Movie ever, The Lion King. Before you ask, that is not Simba's last name from the movie, he was not given a last name, same for all the characters. He in the sense is who I have aligned myself to be but I am not him, we may share the same first name and a few personality traits but that is all coincidental, except for the name.

Now you may think this is a little bit silly, "Why in the world is an adult relating himself to a child's movie? That must say a lot about his character and maturity." Wrong. I believe in this for the same reason any person believes in a religion. No I am not saying that I'm making some sort of new religion, far from it, I am an Animistic Christian. When I had my "public schooling" crisis, which everyone eventually hits that little identity crisis, I found no solace in going to the Christian world. Instead I found myself drawn to the library and the books, but the thing that helped my most through that time was the Disney Classic, The Lion King. It was then at that point that I told myself that, like little Simba, I am running away into the desert and that one day I will come back. Make fun of me what you will, I stand firm in my beliefs. You will not see me mocking you for your beliefs in your religion, for what are beliefs than just lessons from stories and that is precisely what religion is about. And coincidentally a movie has story too!

I'm quite a good-neutralist and, according to my peers, altruistic. A quality I am very proud of which attributes to my admiration for the iconic Knight, the real ones were pretty good but had their faults. My friends tell me that I'm a great person to talk to for rants and problems. I am always open for a little one on one talking, just contact me by going to the contact page or asking something on this account.

Anyway enough of that big deep stuff, time for lists because everyone would rather look at the cursory details instead of the big stuff. ;)

• My Favorite Color is, in chronological order, Purple, Red, and Lavender
• My Favorite Movie is The Lion King
• My Favorite Genre of Movies and Books is Romance
• My Favorite TV Shows include: the Big Bang Theory, Charmed, Dragontales, Mike&Molly, Power Rangers, Smallville, and Supernatural
  
• My Primary and Favorite instrument is the Flute, I am a Flautist.
• I love playing Video Games and Walking
• I am a Hopeless Romantic
  

Everything else you'd want to know about me is only a conversation away. Or you could visit my formspring, http://www.formspring.me/SimbaMaliki It's not like those kiddy little trend things that you see on most formspring accounts. Ask a question and I try to answer it to the best of my abilities.

My number one goal in life is to run into that special someone. Pretty Generic yes, but the Journey is what makes it special (:

I hope that little tidbit is interesting enough that you'd like to talk, I'm quite a great and deep guy from what my peers say. You can only find out how I think of myself by talking to me anyway.

Anywho, for those of you have taken the time to read this, I give you my humblest thanks. My writing is a bit rusty but I'm hoping that I'll have more time for this.

Thanks,
~ Simba Maliki

Some Quotes

You know you're in love when you forget about the one person you thought you'd never get over.

If we are just friends, then tell me, why do I feel like we are much more?

Love is a feeling, a feeling of happiness. Love is powerful, too powerful to play with. This feeling is strange and hard to describe, but when you fall in love, you will know it inside.

To love someone is to understand each other, to laugh together, to smile with your heart and to trust one another. One important thing is to let each other go if you can't do this.

"If you are willing to trust in a person when all others tell you to go against it, if you are willing to risk getting your heart broken because you believe in that other person, Then that is true love."

"...I just don't understand how God would let us meet, if there is no way for us to be together..."
from the movie "City of Angels"

The Broken Clock is a Comfort

First off this is two references... If you get one or both of them, then you deserve some internet points (:

Hahah... funny how I actually write as if people read this.


I am not sad... I am just waiting...

Date's cool, how about the perfect girl? Looks (even though they probably don't matter much, I'm just curious) and personality-wise.

Looks I suppose would be the easiest to start off with. Honestly, looks don't matter to me much. I mean when I first meet a girl, I look at, in this order, their hair, eyes, and they're smile. Basic Assumptions that they have control of all senses.

Dunno, why but I like longer hair XD I guess most people like looking at longer hair too, but I've been known to find people just by their hair sooo it must be something. If I were to pick a color... I do like Strawberry Blonde, other than the fact that is has Strawberry in it ^^. But Blonde/Brown to Brown attracts me tooo

Eyes because, they're sooo purrty >^_^< Plus 352495845 Sexy Points if they own glasses, and wear them. Hahah it doesn't matter much though, glasses or not I'd still find them to be gorgeous. And plus, you'd have to be able to stare into their eyes for long periods of time.

Mmm the smile. I don't know how I would explain this one... You know, everyone just has their smile ^^ It's so pretty and creates a lasting impression. And if you don't see their smile on the first meeting, it's like this pull that makes you want to at least hang around to see it. ^^

Personality, I would think this would be the easiest to answer but it's not. There are so many things that are hard to explain really. I really would prefer to find a girl with a similar personality, I've tried opposite, it hasn't worked out. And for good reasons, I couldn't connect because we were too different on certain aspects. I suppose the best I could do is find qualities I like
~ Loyal to their friends
~ Caring/Loving/The Likes
~ Good morals, Adamant about what they believe in.
~ Good Sense of Humor, know how to deal with my literalness. They can Exaggerate.
~ Knows how to work and have fun at the same time... Goofyness is a plus.
~ Creative, would either love to do art, write, or music.
~ Not soo incredibly Materialistic... Altruistic is a good word. I like, thanks Dakotsar!

I think that would suffice... That is generally what I look for. ^^ Someone Altruistic, at least fairly Altruistic sums it up ^^

Just to add in, for some reason, I really fall for Irish girls. Don't know why, but a lot of the people I've ever liked, part Irish. ^^

It's a game, you ask, I answer. (:

Something Lost

I can quite never explain what it is.

Blah My muse disappeared... Gah, it's not like anyone reads this anyway. Hahahah that's why I like the title...

:( People were making fun of me today... I don't get it, I don't get affected but I did. I just don't understand.

I thought that... This sucks, I can't make coherent sentences.

My Artistic Creativity

It's a road trip. I have the map, I know where all the stops are, where I'm headed and everything.

The only problem? I have no car and no money. Therefore I walk and can't get paid transportation.

Hence, it takes me 40 times as long as it should to get what I want out on paper.

^ Except for that, that was pretty quick. Anyway, Car and Money is just medium really... And time, objects used to help display the time it would take to do it normally.

formspring.me

It's a game, you ask, I answer. (: http://formspring.me/simbamaliki

Only Saying This

I know I shouldn't but ugh... It hurts me when my girlfriend says that she'd like to marry so and so. One's a married man, the other I don't know, and the last is a homosexual...

Well... I KNOW THIS IS REALLY BAD AND I WOULD NEVER DO IT.
There are two people I would with.
1 is a Lesbian. and the other is someone that I have cared so much about, did soo much for, and it has amounted to nothing, no matter how many times she says she wish she had a boyfriend, and all the qualities she was looking for I had, NOTHING. She would never pick me.

WOOOO New Year, Great Start!

Hahahah,

So my birthday was December 31! Good Day!

My soon-to-be Girlfriend came (: And she looked pretty damn sexy with her glasses and cat ears.

Anywho... Momentous Moment when I asked her out, albeit a bit lame being through a video chat buttt, I will redeem myself by asking in person. As should all Knights of the Realm!

It Sucks...

It just... stinks not being able to do anything.
