First Self Date

Feeling a bit sad so I'm taking myself on a self date.

Flowers; Check, had to go to three different stores XD
Food; Check, haven't had Taco Bell in forever
Dessert; Check, Cherry Fruit Pies!
Movie; Check, The Best Movie Ever, The Lion King

Ahhh, I'm excited for October :3

THE LION KING TRILOGY COLLECTION (DIAMOND EDITION)

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS.

I've had it pre-ordered since April 27th :3 It's almost here, It's almost here.

Official Substitute Teacher Status

Woohoo, so yesterday I went to my Substitute Teacher Orientation.

What does that mean?

I am an official Substitute Teacher, which under normal circumstances wouldn't be a big deal but considering my age and everything, this is an amazing opportunity.

I am grateful for the opportunity, especially since I've been having some trouble finding work. In fact, the only places in the past year who have hired me have been School Districts.

On another note,
Started some yardwork to fix my fence, got a splinter, and have spent the entire day sick.

Hoping to talk to Jen tonight :3

Darn J... ♥ (GIF Heavy)

I think I've Found Her.

Well technically speaking, I've known her for half a year now. :3

Anyway, why write when I can show you through GIF's from my Favorite Movie, brought to you by FuckYeahTheLionKingGifs

 

As Me

As Her

 

At first, deep down, we both felt like this...

We'd hang out...

And then we wouldn't hang out or something came up.

It felt like the Age Old Dance, who likes who? 

Then, something happened, starting in May.

We went on our First Date.

Tested the waters a bit. Until our Second Date.

By the end of our Second Date... I have a feeling I know where we stand.

At least I know how I feel. :3

The night ended like this... so I'm pretty sure she feels it too.

"I've really missed you." "I've missed you too." >///>

To Be Continued.

 Ah, good feelings (:

I Follow My Dreams.

What about you?

This might sound a little silly, but a good amount of the decisions I make are based on dreams I have. For example, the biggest driving force that lead me through my transfer to Plano West Senior High School was the fact that in one of my dreams, I was leaning against the white board in the Music Theory room watching two of my closest friends play a game during one of Mr. Desoto's Video Game Nights during the Marching Season. I can recall that dream with this accuracy because it happened and I don't regret my decision.

I'm Naturally Human

Every now and then I do like to show off... and when I do I tend to start letting things get to my head and start calling myself a Lion God and everything... But I think that's just my point.

We're all a bit like god every now and then.

Holy Cow, I totally believe in Card Divinations Now

I won't go into the specifics right now but one of the cards was telling me that I was going to be getting some news that would either make me extremely happy or sad...

At the moment I'm trying to convince myself that it's a good thing, wouldn't want the story to be easy.

And it also kept mentioning a trip... I need to see what that'll be about.

Something That I Want

You know, it's funny.

I have invested a lot of time in waiting for the things that I want. That in the long run, I will have everything that I have ever wanted. But, it was to the point that sometimes I don't have any wants because I tell myself that in the future I will have it.

Right now? I can feel that I want something, and the more I tell myself that it will come in time, and I am extremely sure that it will come in time, the more I want it now...

And it's funny because now that I want something now/soon, I don't know what to do about it.

I guess, this has always been my form procrastination.

But I have a feeling, a strong feeling, that in this time... This time I might be the highest card.

Good Song that tells how I'm feeling.

Being Around

I'm feeling less hopeless now... It's kinda good.

I mean, for the majority, I always feel like I need to do something extravagant and gargantuan in order to impress a girl but for some reason... I don't feel that need. It's nice knowing that I can wait to see if it blooms.

This also extends into how easy I can just melt. Sometimes I don't absorb the words as much as.

Blah, this is kinda horribly written but it'll do for now.

Happy Valentine's Day to All My Readers.

I have a Follower!

Sorry another short post.

I just noticed that my counter on my dashboard says I have a follower. I mean I knew about it but I didn't know that they had a counter. It makes me happy knowing that at least someone gets updated on my blog postings. (:

Disappointed Mother

I think no matter what she says, no matter how proud of me she will be... She'll always be disappointed that I'm not a Medical Doctor.

Intriguing, Spending Money for Food (More So than Needed)

The truth for most people that go shopping is that the longer they stay in a store, the more they buy. For me? It's quite the opposite, the longer I stay, the less I'm likely to buy.

I bring this into whether I should go buy food outside to eat or not. I'll spend 15-30 minutes thinking whether or not I should go to some restaurant or fast food chain to get some food or go home and look around.

But after finding out yesterday that my father waits and waits until a special is on before he goes into a store to buy a meal that we, the general public, take for granted, it's been easier for me to not go to the store. My mother tells me, out of some form of frustration, that 6 dollars can feed my father for a week.

I'm quite impressed and my goal is to meet that pricing somewhere. Maybe 10-12 dollars a week for food. I dunno, but I think I can get there.

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

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...

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.

She Makes.

She makes me feel the same way you did, and I'm positive would still do if I ever saw you again.

My weekend's are so plain and boring unless I talk to her. She makes the weekend better... But nowadays it's awkward, because I think I might've messed up and she doesn't talk to me much on the weekends.

During the weekday... She's the highlight of my day (: I look forward to seeing her when I do. No matter what happens, seeing her just makes me feel better inside.

And I'm afraid... Because I don't want my relationship with her to turn out like the one we have... It's scary... It makes me cry...

The First Day of School

Well, it's time to start my blog updating (:

First Off, My Schedule in order

AP Music Theory
Latin IV AP
AP Government
A-Lunch
Pals
Symphonic Band
Honors English
American Sign Language I
Marching Band

Now my school day.

~ AP Music Theory ~

Music Theory today was most definitely quite the experience.

The only homework we ever have is "Listen to Music"

We have to sing, analyze music, write music!!!

Today we pretty much did what every class does on the first day... Papers and hand outs O: But we did get to listen to music, and then do a little worksheet on them. We listened to "Canon in D" and then "Taco Bell Canon" which is essentially an A Capella version of "Canon in D"

We also have two field trips for the year. The first one, we get to see the Dallas Symphony Orchestra Dress Rehearsal and the second is an Opera Dress Rehearsal... Fun fun fun... And apparently I have to take the AP exam since it's being paid for :\

~ Latin IV AP ~

Best Class Ever. (: We have over an hour of it for the next two days. We start translating tomorrow I suppose... lol

Molly and Jess visited, I was quite happy.

~ AP Government ~

Talk about a boring class. At least it was when I walked in, I did my usual Class Greeting and No One... I mean no one said a single thing... Oh but when Brandon Kalm comes in, everyone's excited... Lol Anywho, third AP class of the day. And it's the first one with a text book. Not to bad really, I like the teacher. She has a good vibe, and the Reading Assignments are at least reasonable :D

~ Lunch ~

Lunch... Was a disappointment... I was supposed to go out to lunch with Jessi, Bob's GF since she know anyone in A Lunch, and I stood where I told her to meet for like 15 minutes with a no show... Kinda a boring lunch, but now I'm eating with Maggi, Sarah... and... I don't know, I need to figure out his name.

~ Pals ~

Pals... Wow... What a class.. Well... we didn't do much except the obligatory "Getting to know each other Activities" and we picked our Committees... I'm in Photography and Scrapbooking which means I get to work with the Yearbook from time to time... And guess what? Fundraising Starts this Saturday at the football game... Yay for Dr. Pepper Cherry... O.o

~ Symphonic Band ~

Wow... Can the first day get any lamer? Yes, why yes it can... BAND EVEN FELL UNDER THE READ THE HANDBOOK AND HANDOUTS SPELL...

~ English IV H ~

3rd best class of the day. We got ZERO hand outs. And what's even better? We got a free notebook for our Writer's Notebooks :D Not that I enjoy them, but I always love "Stationary" items (: But this year the Entries will be much easier. She said they had to be long enough to finish the thought, so it can be short or long :D

~ American Sign Language I ~

2nd Favorite Class. I mean it's a foreign language, why isn't it one of my favorites!

Lol, The teacher didn't realize I was in Latin as well, since they share classrooms, until I took my Lion from the desk XD

We learn'd the ASL Survival Signs and then we learned the Alphabet.. Which was fun... A lot of new faces in the class as well (:

~ Marching Band ~

Oooh boy my favorite part of the day. /sarcasm
It's not really my favorite part of the day really... Kinda... I don't know what to call it, but it was horrible...

My left eye, was going all funky. Like for serious. It was straining against itself for no reason. It felt like it was shrinking and then returning to it's size all inside my eye socket... Imagine if you will. A... Hmm... A Stress Ball. It was pushing against itself and all.. It was horrible. Had to get an ice pack... And then I was told it was turning like really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really Red... (On a note, whenever you see my repeat something many times... I really type it out... Yeah, sometimes I type out a single word one hundred times. XD)

Well that's my day really...

Another post on my opinions, at least more in depth with highlights and what nots.

Songs that Spoke to Me

silky heart
Vocals: Horie Yui
Lyrics: Satomi
Composition: Fujisue Miki
Arrangement: Kawaguchi Keita
My Silky Love, all the while, for 24 hours
My Silky Love, every time when I think of you
My Silky Love, my irritating feelings
My Silky Love, simply overflow
Even though it’s easy to say ‘I love you’
When you come in front of me
My characteristics arise and interfere with me
If it’s the usual, I can go on boldly
Even though that’s my personality
No matter how hard I try, I can’t tear down the wall
I want you to realize…my feelings
So I always send a gaze
Of, “I really love you,” at you
With my greatest courage!
When I met you, I finally noticed
My flimsy silky heart
Even if I was awkward at love
The scar of romance that I almost forgot about
Suddenly started to hurt with a twinge
If I don’t say ‘I love you’ like myself
Someday…I’ll become weaker than I am now
If I say ‘I love you’, then I can be at ease
The truth is, even though I know that
When I sound it out, you seem to leave me
I wonder, what do you think
Of me?
At our current distance we’re merely friends, right?
I just might be whitewashing it
But I don’t want to get hurt, it’s just that alone…
Or so I persuaded myself
And I just ran away
If my flimsy silky heart
Gets hurt this time, then I’m sure
I won’t be able to love anyone ever again
The splitting sound that echoes in my chest
Is at the bottom of my memories, I’m sure
The sewing kit that I forgot to put away
On that day should be around somewhere…
All the while, for 24 hours
My Silky Love, every time when I think of you
My Silky Love, my irritating feelings
My Silky Love, simply overflow
My Silky Love, all the while, for 24 hours
My Silky Love, every time when I think of you
My Silky Love, my irritating feelings
My Silky Love, simply overflow
When I met you, I finally noticed
My flimsy silky heart
Even if I was awkward at love
Even if I were to pretend to be strong on purpose
To hide my weaknesses, I’m sure
That I’ll properly tell you my feelings
And ‘I love you’ like myself someday


Orange
Vocals: Kugimiya Rie, Horie Yui, Kitamura Eri as Aisaka Taiga, Kushieda Minori, Kawashima Ami
Lyrics: Watanabe Akiko
Composition: Funta3
Arrangement: Hashimoto Yukari
On a sleepless night
I sigh all alone
How’s everyone?
I feel kind of lonely
That’s not like me
So stop laughing
It’s just that I don’t know
My true self
Into the broad earth, a single seed
Extended its roots
And bore fruit that was still unripe
The fruit wants to hurry up
And turn orange-colored
Basking in your light
My ideals and dreams only expand
Notice me, hey
I tried to eat
An orange today, too
But it was still sour and I cried
Because it’s unlike me to leave any behind
I ate it all
I loved it; I felt like crying
I loved it; I loved it
Even if they’re similar, they’re different
Mandarins and oranges
Friends and lovers
And our 2 hearts, too
I didn’t want to get hurt
So I fled
When I did that, not even light
Would shine upon me
They’re miracles, right?
Encounters and love
Seeds and buds
Even for the fruit that was still unripe
The color orange makes me recall
The sunset glow that I saw
On that day
It seemed as if our 2 shadows
Held hands together
I wondered if the oranges
Would turn sweet someday
Or would they wither?
I didn’t want to learn of my future
So I ate it all
It was sour…
I loved it, but I felt like crying
I loved it, so I felt like crying
The fruit wants to hurry up
And turn orange-colored
Basking in your light
My ideals and dreams only expand
Notice me, hey
I tried to eat
An orange today, too
But again, it was sour and I cried
Because it’s unlike me to leave any behind
I ate it all; I loved it
I felt like crying; I loved it
I loved it
I loved it; so sour
I felt like crying; I loved it

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think these are self explanatory. Why do I feel so depressed today.

Star Wars Battle

I know I said only two. But A Star Wars Battle is going to take a long time. So I'm just telling ya'll we'll be doing it.

We're making our own lightsabers, so those who want in, need to know soon so we can build. Need some rotoscopers as well, I can't do it all by myself.

Let The Games Begin

Well the games began at approximately 9:00 AM Central Time in Plano, Texas. Every school in the PISD did not get out, unlike all the other districts, who got days off due to icy roads.

Today's events in the Finals
Zero Hour
First Hour

Zero - All those students who have been practicing since 8:00 in the morning are going to finally show the skills they've been working on. With 2 hours for this event, it seems like the contestants for PWSH have been doing fairly well. Some of the members of the team were faltering though, hopefully the judges will be lenient on their scores.

First - This portion of the competition I was able to partake in. The proctor of our room wasn't very good. There were a lot of restrictions, such as no Bathroom or Water Breaks, and I quote "Unless your water breaks, no one leaves." Then there was the fact that once we were done with our event we couldn't leave until everyone in the room had finished. We couldn't even listen to music. The worst part is, the proctor was confused with the event. The instructions obviously said that Two Parts of the event were for bonus points, but she said that the Creator of the event was wrong. How exactly is the creator wrong when they say how they want their creation to be done? I have no idea.

The aftermath of the today's events weren't very good. Everyone I saw was bushed. Like they were so tired. Hopefully everyone will get their rest for the rest of the competition. Stay tuned, for the next three days.

Hmm... that was really wierd. Maybe a better one tomorrow.
