class started 2 hours ago; oh, am i late?

2009-03-18T12:11:00.000-07:00

11:OOAM-12:15PM: HIST-181 Black Perspective is what i have Monday & Wed. today i woke up at 10:45 and was 10 minutes late to class. now, that's okay. i just missed some papers the teacher passed out, and when i walked in, we were starting a movie.

so, its 12:10. and the door opens. and this guy walks in, with 2 tennis rackets, and a towel on his head, and really sits down for the remainder of the class. c'mon my nigga, 5 minutes left? what are you really going to get out of that? smh ..

Blue Collar?

2009-03-11T17:53:00.000-07:00

or in my case, for the last 8 months its been a red collar. i work at the gym, and im mostly in the bball courts, and i don't do sales. and they had me wearing a collared shirt. i had asked MY manager for one of the Nike Dry Fits that the trainers wear, and everytime i got a "no, you can't wear that". so, today i came into work, and the Club manager tossed me a new shirt. NO collar. feels good.

Cancelled

2009-03-11T17:46:00.000-07:00

this time change is fuckin with me. i haven't got the hang of it just yet. so today as i rolled over to get up for my 11am Black History class, i said to myself "fuck it .."and just go back to sleep. 20 min later i get a txt from the home girl jay saying "hey, what's your last name? class got cancelled and there's a sign in sheet." woohoo. lol. good thing to make friends in class so they can sign in for you when you don't even show up.

so, that class got cancelled, and my 8am class tomorrow is cancelled too. its my public speaking class. nice way to end the week.

Ending Week 6 Update

2009-03-05T10:19:00.000-08:00

man, its been a min. i havent posted in a while, because ive been busy with school and work. lets see. last week, math test, this week english midterm, and a speech in com122. this week is done thos still with A's in all my classes. so thats a plus.

my DL has been suspended since the summer. yea, i've been riding dirty for a while now. i even got caught, with a certain sum1 who bad luck back in jan. and they wrote me a ticket, and took my DL because you're not even spose to have it on you if it's suspended. so heres the run down. i had an outstanding ticket, from the summer. then the new ticket. when they suspend your DL, you cant get it back, untill you pay ALL fines. so, i go to the court house, and all i have is the ticket from the summer. the ticket from jan didnt post. so, im like, this is a set up. go to the DMV, all they have it the ticket from the summer. i pay my $475 for the ticket, and $55 for the reinstatement fee. now i have a valid DL, and dont have to get spooked everytime i see a cop.

this is coming to yall from the back of math 103. lol. were going over our quizes, cuz we have a test on thurs. the 1st one of the semester. lets hope i do good. anyway, i missed school last thurs because i was sick. last thurs i ended up missing math, and public speaking. math we turned in a quiz (turned that in late today) and public speaking, ended up taking notes, and having an outline due today. oops. see what happens when u miss school. if i email my teacher the outline before midnight, shell only deduct 5%. so, ill knock that out today. AND on top of that, we had a quiz in that class too that i wasn't ready for. hopefully i get at least a C. that's what i got on my quiz last tues, that i didn't study for. i guess by just sitting in class, my brain absorbs 70% of the information. ha ha. [not funny]. that's my day so far, now im about to go to iHop BY MYSELF cuz every1 else is wack, and im going to get my free pancakes ..

Another night in the jungle

2009-02-20T12:16:00.000-08:00

niggas, basketball, back flips, and fades.

this was wed the 18th (while im feeling like shit).
guy does a back flip after a fast break score. lets label him A. so, the guy he scored on, (label him B), told him to do it again, the back flip that is. (keep up now).

so A does the back flip, and Bs dumb ass flinches at him while hes doing the back flip. so as A comes to the ground and catches his balance, he gives B a quick lil 1,2 combo. B is dazed by it, and you can tell he doesnt want any. by this time, im over there, its broken up. everythiing is spose to be "all good". i told B, you dont play around like that, and a busted lip is better than a law suit is A would of landed on his neck or something of that nature.

game goes on.

about 2 possesions later, they come back down to my side of the court, and B, trys to get a cheap shot in on A, when A is going for a rebound. 1st of, A isnt even paying attention, and B str8 misses. they get into it, B starts to get worked again, i go and grab A, try and settle him down, hes still talking shit to B, while this is going on,i forgot A had come up there with someone. so as im pulling A away, As partner comes, and just knocks out B. with a smooth uppercut. it was so loud, it hurt me. by this time, other ppl that were playing, had grabbed every1, and stopped everythig, and both parties left.

theres prolly more to it, that i left out, but hey, its friday now, i wasnt feeling good, so give me the benifit of the doubt. ha ha, i love my job ..

President's Day

2009-02-16T22:35:00.000-08:00

woke up to the rain. which wasnt too bad. no school because of the holiday. still had work however, 4-10. wasnt bad. broke up about 5 fights. i swear niggas dont know how to act. me and my nigga steven went to wings-n-things, watched around the horn, and PTI. soon as we were done, the "itis' kicked in. got home round 2:50, with work at 5. good thing steven was using me to get into the gym today, he called me at 3:45 asking what time i was heading up there. if it wasnt for him, my ass wouldve slept through work. that would have not been a good look, or a smooth way to stat off the week. tomorrow i have comm 122 (public speaking), and math. comm 122 at 8am, with a quiz on ch. 1, 2, & 5. so im about to do my best to absorb some of this info, and take my notes, so going into week 4, i can keep my A.

first and foremost, i would like to say "FUCK Jim Jones !!!". that nigga didnt even got plat. how are you going to advertise an event, make it 18+ & 21+, have the dress code on the flyer, and it doesnt say a damn thing about dress shoes. your special guest and birdgang dont even wear dress shoes. fuck downtown, dressy is not my swag, so i will reframe from taking my black ass down there untill i turn 21. at least thats how i feel now. we got down there, and they turned away EVERYONE no matter the age, without "proper attire". oh well, i aint trippin, we had bought our presale tickets, for 25. the cover down there was 35+ so we just let our tix go for the face value. took that 25, and spent 20 to go to wack ass decos. well, it wasnt THAT bad, cuz everyone that got turned away, ended up being there. not THAT bad of a night. could have been better. oh well, theres my vent.

today's been a good say so far. started the day off in my public speaking class, and we had our intro speeches today. i went 2nd. got it out the way, and knocked it out the part. lol, that class is a piece of cake. some people really need that class though. it was funny seeing people make a fool of thmeselves. shit, for all i know i looked stupid too. oh well. some girl even got sick 5 seconds into her speech, and threw up. shits nuts. then, i have 105% in my math class. and math isnt een my strong point. but i got myself a tutor, so ill ace that class. we did 2.5 and 3.1 today, so i got that hw to knock out, and the ch. 3 quiz due on the 19th. the 16th the school is giving back 5$ for books, so next monday, thats a cool lil fast food meal on the school. BUT we dont even have school monday, (prez day), so ill pick t up on tues. aside from all that, its pay day. tank on full, pockets on full, straight a's, things are going smooth. couldnt ask for too much more. well, 1 thing, but only time will tell. welp, i got this english hw to do, math, reading for public speaking, and history notes to review. so ima end this here, and hop on that and try and do some of it before i have work at 4 ..

who's there?

Homework.

yup, it's been a while since i lasted posted something. main reason being, there's nothing exciting for me to post. since parking at school is a bitch, i'm waking up a 6:45am daily regardless of what time my class starts. so it's been school - work - hw - sleep, then repeating itself over and over again. i'm handling it alright though. like this weekend for example, i have math, 2.3 & 2.4 hw, plus a take home quiz. public speaking, re-read ch. 1,2, & 5, plus my intro speech. black hist. reading as usual. then English, these learning logs, and summary's of these essays. plus do my tax's, so i can update this fasfa. and fill out these apps for this financial aid that my advisor gave me. it wont slow my weekend down though. later on today i'ma hit the barbershop, and handle this hair of mine, then who knows what i'll be doing. but i do know come Monday, this hw will be knocked out ..

Another day at the office

2009-01-31T18:26:00.000-08:00

"32 ways to be a champion in business" is the book Mr. Earvin "Magic" Johnson was promoting at my job today.

it was a really busy day today. from 8am-3pm was my shift. running around handling stuff here and there for my managers. it just so happens i work at the 24 Hour Magic Johnson Sport club, so it's HIS club. he was on a book signing tour. my major is business and marketing so, this will be a good read for me. the way it worked today, was the book for 20 cash. for each book that was purchased, the members were allowed to have one item signed. (this didnt appply to staff). people were there lining up at around 5am, waiting for his greatness to araive. its not everyday, that Magic Johnson just strolls into your area.

the above pix, are from when he 1st araived. he did an interview with fox 6 news, then headed to the courts for the signing. he's 6'8 but makes that reporter look tiny. it's funny, he looks exactly the same, and speaks the same as he does on tv.

he was real down to earth. very friendly. answered a lot of questions, signed damn near about anything. the way management said the day was going to go like, they made him seem as if he was an asshole. but he wasnt at all. even after the signing, he walked the club, spoke to members, asked them how their workouts were going, he even used the bathroom. we walked in there with him, and one of the guys is in the stall, and magic, just goes to the one next to him. guys all like, "hey, hows it going?". ha ha, that was funny. then he came and worked the front desk for a while, took a couple more pix, all before the headed out to his next stop, Bakersfield.

now this guy right here is super chill. his name is Andre Johnson. i couldnt tell that magic was his dad. i actually started a convo with him, because of his tatts. he has some DOPE ass ink. then i was like "soo, who are you? you work for him?" he responds "yea, ha ha, thats my pops .." i swear i dont see it. maybe im trippin. anyways he gave me his contact info. not only does he want some of the pictures i took, he said he'll see if he can plug me with an internship. durring the summer of course. their office is in beverly hills. but HE stays "near the water". i asked him, why he didnt hoop. and she said "don't get it twisted, im nice on the court, i just dont like being compared to my pops, and being held to a higher standard, so i just went to UCLA and got my degress, i was asked to play for the team, but turned it down. i like to stay lowkey .." so i mean, we'll see, i'll stay in contact with him, and see what happens. hopefully he's not blowing smoke up my ass.

Don't think i left empty handed. i got all this signed, a ball, name badge, the book, and this poster. i need to get a case for the ball, and i'll be set. how was your day at work?

Releasing a slew of dope tracks over the past couple of months, including a remix joint to Justice's D.A.N.C.E entitled W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E., where he makes "gay ass bright shoes" and "tight jeans" the new timbs and throwback jerseys. Also, check him out on the new Roots single "Rising Up" as he gives Black Thought a run for his ego, claiming "good rappers ain't eatin, they Olsen twinnin". God damn. Oh yeah, did I mention that he is also signed under one of contemporary music's dopest producers? Yep, Mr Mark Ronson himself has signed Wale to a production deal.

If you are geographically fortunate enough to be in the select cities where this year's Rock the Bells Tour are being held, well what the fuck, you don't need me to tell you to get those tickets. Wale will be one of the many acts that will be rockin' the mic. Oh..and Nas, Mos Def, Tribe, The Pharcyde and many more. Easily one of the most anticipated concerts of the summer. Give it another year before Nike Dunks and fitted jeans becomes the new shit in hip hop fashion.

This is whats in my iTunes of his. (click to enlarge)

Dropped outta school so i could stay a fresh man

2009-01-27T12:50:00.000-08:00

School started yesterday. and as of now, ive got a taste of all my teachers, and what to expect. Full schedule, 12 units, 4 classes. MW - Black Hist & ENG 110. TTH - COMM 122 & MATH 103.

Black Hist- "youre like the black grandpa i never had". highlight of the class. that was a statement by a white boy. he had the class rolling. this class should be fun and interesting, as they never teach history from the black perspective. also, my proffesor doesnt like to give test, because he doesnt like to grade them. but we will have exams, that will be open note, and a research paper due at the end of the semester. his name is Dr. Stevens, and he swears hes 93 years old. ha ha, hes not tho. also, he was in the local newspaper last sunday, not sure what for however. he just passed the article around the class. i didnt get a chance to look at it. just saw the picture.

ENG 110- my teacher is gay. and when i say gay, i mean GAY. he told us, "for those of you who havent noticed by now, im gay; and if you have a problem with that, then i suggest you leave now, and drop my class. im not going to hide the way i am for you for a whole semester, this is how i am so deal with it." (fag voice) it was hard for me not to laugh. then he had us write a 5 paragraph paper. it was a story that took place in california, and kept along the lines of one genre. looks like this class is going to be alot of writting. im not tripping though. id rather write than read.

COMM 122- public speaking. piece of cake. 5 speaches and 3 outlines make up your overall grade. if you know me, then you know i dont mind speaking my mind, or in front of people. there is hardly any writting in this class. i like her break down, and participation is a big portion of this grade. so ill speak my mind fosho.

MATH 103- this teacher is chill too. 10 quizzes, 3 test, one final, and HW make up this grade. Final is 25%, 3 test make up 55%.then hw and quizzes are both 10%. the quizzes are take home,so theres no way you can "cheat". you can only cheat yourself. the test will have problems from the quizzes, and the final will take problems from the test. shes not here to fail us, and wants to make sure we succed. also. if you get 100% on all test and do all the HW you "should" do good on your test and final. BUT if you happen to just find a study partner to do hw and quizzes with, in reality you can get a 65% on all test and final, and still get a C in the class. NOT what im looking to do, but it makes sense.

basicly this time around im going to make sure i stay in school. especially since im getting paid to learn. its going all in my pocket. i figure ill go to class everyday, do the class and homework, and soak up what i can while im in class, and ill do fine. thats half the battle is just coming to class. basicly how i got through highschool.

Ahhhh

2009-01-26T01:04:00.000-08:00

So its 1:06 am and i start school in a couple of hours. I know my schedule. but i don't KNOW my schedule. So, i need to check it. and the damn web advisor is down. wtf. c'mon man. now i gotta wake up early and check this shit, when i don't even have class until 11. or at least i THINK that's when i have class ..

Not Funny

2009-01-24T19:18:00.000-08:00

for those of you who didn't know, i work at 24 hour fitness. well, our pay schedule is the 10Th and 25Th. ever since Ive been working there, my ex manager had told me, if the 10Th or 25Th falls on a Sunday, we get paid that following Monday. well, i don't work on Fridays, and since i had been told this info, i never called up there to check if we ever got the checks early. turns out, if the 10Th or 25Th falls on a weekend period, we get paid that Friday. i guess she thought it was funny, not to tell me when exactly we got paid. long story short, could of cashed out yesterday, now I'm waiting till Monday. oh well. the 10Th or 25Th doesn't fall on a weekend for a while now. even if it did, it doesn't matter anymore.

Designed double alley-oop

2009-01-23T13:56:00.000-08:00

here's video of Ike Nwamu and Deuce Bello of Westchester Country Day School pulling off a designed double alley-oop in a recent high school game. It's ridiculous.

School seeks to forfeit 100-0 win

2009-01-23T13:50:00.000-08:00

A Texas high school girls basketball team on the winning end of a 100-0 game has a case of blowout remorse.

Now officials from The Covenant School say they are trying to do the right thing by seeking a forfeit and apologizing for the margin of victory.

"It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened," Kyle Queal, the head of the school, said in a statement, adding the forfeit was requested because "a victory without honor is a great loss."

The private Christian school defeated Dallas Academy last week. Covenant was up 59-0 at halftime.

A parent who attended the game told The Associated Press that Covenant continued to make 3-pointers -- even in the fourth quarter. She praised the Covenant players but said spectators and an assistant coach were cheering wildly as their team edged closer to 100 points.

"I think the bad judgment was in the full-court press and the 3-point shots," said Renee Peloza, whose daughter plays for Dallas Academy. "At some point, they should have backed off."

Dallas Academy coach Jeremy Civello told The Dallas Morning News that the game turned into a "layup drill," with the opposing team's guards waiting to steal the ball and drive to the basket. Covenant scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and "finally eased up when they got to 100 with about four minutes left," he said.

Dallas Academy has eight girls on its varsity team and about 20 girls in its high school. It is winless over the last four seasons. The academy boasts of its small class sizes and specializes in teaching students struggling with "learning differences," such as short attention spans or dyslexia.

There is no mercy rule in girls basketball that shortens the game or permits the clock to continue running when scores become lopsided. There is, however, "a golden rule" that should have applied in this contest, said Edd Burleson, the director of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools. Both schools are members of this association, which oversees private school athletics in Texas.

"On a personal note, I told the coach of the losing team how much I admire their girls for continuing to compete against all odds," Burleson said. "They showed much more character than the coach that allowed that score to get out of hand. It's up to the coach to control the outcome."

In the statement on the Covenant Web site, Queal said the game "does not reflect a Christ-like and honorable approach to competition. We humbly apologize for our actions and seek the forgiveness of Dallas Academy, TAPPS and our community."

Covenant coach Micah Grimes did not immediately respond to a message left by The Associated Press on Thursday.

Queal said school officials met with Dallas Academy officials to apologize and praised "each member of the Dallas Academy Varsity Girls Basketball team for their strength, composure and fortitude in a game in which they clearly emerged the winner."

Civello said he appreciated the gesture and has accepted the apology "with no ill feelings."

At a shootaround Thursday, several Dallas Academy players said they were frustrated during the game but felt it was a learning opportunity. They also said they are excited about some of the attention they are receiving from the loss, including an invitation from Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban to see an NBA game from his suite.

"Even if you are losing, you might as well keep playing," said Shelby Hyatt, a freshman on the team. "Keep trying, and it's going to be OK."

Peloza said the coach and other parents praised the Dallas Academy girls afterward for limiting Covenant to 12 points in the fourth quarter. She added that neither her daughter nor her teammates seemed to dwell on the loss.

"Somewhere during that game they got caught up in the moment," Peloza said of the Covenant players, fans and coaches. "Our girls just moved on. That's the happy part of the story."

Hunger Pains

mind sweeper
time has no keeper
you can claim him, but you can't keep her
he tells you his truth, she explains
only staying for lust, yet you cant complain
an affair kindled by passion
he's too passive, she keeps passing
in one ear, and out of the other
acting like a storybook couple, but that's just a cover
tears running, mouths running, shes running
yet in the midst of all this chaos, he finds her stunning
realization sets in when he sees he may really need her
now she's leaving because she's hungry for love
but he wants to be the one who finally feeds her
its too late, she's learned to feed herself.

This really hit me when i read it.

Supra & TK Come Correct

2009-01-19T14:34:00.000-08:00

I already own 2 pair of supras. a pair of vaiders, and a pair of skytops. i must say, this shoe is very comfortable. with TK's signature shoe dropping as early as next month, all these are a definite must cop. with Jordan boosting his prices, and every one jumping on the bandwagon, its time to go another route. I'm in love with high tops. its just something about the way they sit on a fresh pair of 501's.

For the whip that is. well they are not actually new, just cleaned up a lil and put back on. i had got a flat a while back during the summer, and was too lazy to go get a new tire. well after my tune up, the techs told me i needed new tires asap for the stock wheels. so instead of buying 4 new tires, i bought one for the dubs, and thew them back on since the other 3 had plenty of tread.

"A bitch is a female dog, & a dog is a mans best friend." - Lil Wayne

I agree with this statement. It's 2009, & we have a Black President. The word "bitch" isnt even considered a "bad" word anymore. They say it on cable tv, girls refer to their female friends as "bitches", a "bitch" is another term for chick, girl, broad. it's in my vocab. i have a foul mouth, if you don't like it, fuck you and yours. you dont have to read this blog, im not here to offend anyone, but if i cant say bitch, then i guess you shouldnt listen to rap music.

so i guess the bitch with the coffee pot got offended. boo fucking hoo .. oh. her name is Kathy. Happy Kathy?

Picked up the whip today from the shop. 158,xxx miles on her. she runs like a charm now. after spending $2,136. that's right $2,136. that's a down payment on a new car. but the way i look at it, is, i fix this one, then ill have no payments. it has fresh paint, tint, and as soon as i get a new tire, ill throw the dubs back on. man does it ride smooth. lesson learned; keep up with the service on your car. ill make sure i get my next oil change on time.

Hookah, Music, Friends = FUN

2009-01-09T03:30:00.000-08:00

So with my new schedule, i now get off at 10pm instead of 12am. so i can actually do things during the week. Me and my boy kid fresh, planned on going downtown, when we got wind, that there were no 18+ clubs tonight. so instead of sitting in the house, we hit people up, and came up with the hookah lounge.it's by mesa college, called Aladin; it's in the cut. by appearance it doesn't look to fun, but once you get in, it poppin. the DJ was really good, and the fact that all you pay is 15$ for a bong (i think that's what you call it), it could really turn into the Thursday night spot.

Who rings the door bell at 12:30am?

2009-01-08T00:38:00.000-08:00

well, im my case it was my pops. hes fresh out. (of jail) lets see how long this time last, i love that dude to death, well not really. but its sum where along those lines. he needs to get his life straight. im damn near 21 years of age, and he aint even around. oh well, i'm going to sleep ..

The 1st Monday of 2009. And even though it's a new year, this day in the week still sucks. Started my day by going up to school and talking to my advisor. seems like everything is going smooth, just waiting on my W-2's to come in the mail, so i can update my Fasfa. Got a fresh new school ID, and my finicial aid award should be in no later that NEXT monday, So that'll be a good luck, for the 2nd monday of the year hopefully.

After school, had to go to court for some b/s. (check my older post). that didnt go so well, charges got dropped but they aint tryna give the bail money back. so im going to file a claim against the county of SD. hopefully i get some $.

So this is my 1st post of the new year. Last night was fun. Out with friends and loved ones. We went to a party in Balboa Park, then after that, we headed downtown, to bring in the new year. After that, we hit dennys, and for my 1st meal of '09, i had 3 pancakes. It was fun, turned out better than I expected ..

Stupid Laptop

ok, so last night i had a problem with my laptop not being able to read my music files that i moved. Ended up deleting all my music (only 1000 or so songs), well this morning CHRISTMAS; i end up deleting all the christmas pictures. The way this happened: i put all the pictures in my "pictures" folder. for sum reason they end up in my music folder also. so i delete them from that fie. go back to the picture file, and everything is just gone. yes, after i deleted them from the recycle bin also. i know stupid. oh well, cant do anything about it. long story short, im over this laptop ..
