ok before i do this final draft paper for class i have to say something
i'm looking at my rough draft and here's what the teacher put on it on the 1st page: the paper doesn't have a 1 inch margin my name doesn't come down 1 inch from the top the page number doesn't come down 1/2 inch from the top ........ my question is.. WHO CARES!? i don't understand why and/or how these rules are even relevant i don't even have microsoft word, i have works.. so i'm not sure how much i can even edit this thing this is why i like my blog, cuz i can just go through and say what i say the way i want to say it most writers don't even edit their own books and/or papers.. because taking time in the middle of writing to make sure everything lives up to SOMEONE ELSE'S STANDARDS impedes the process do u think j.k. rowling is in the middle of a chapter in harry potter and asking herself whether she should use a colon or a semi-colon? no she writes her book then sends it to the "smart" people to edit it like the low-paid guinea pigs they are so to my english teacher: i will write ur dumb "perfect" essay but f*ck your "perfect" essay

the song is called i-phantom from mr. lif
i remember the first time i heard it, i was playin tony hawk underground because it was on that game i remember i thought it was amazing and whenever it came on i felt like.. oh snap its that song again.. it always gave me a sense of power but at the same time a sense of being a small link in a very large chain to have both of those feelings at once in a sense seems contradictory, but that's kinda why the song is amazing the song at the time was kinda revolutionary to me because it gave me the feeling of like a public enemy song.. the height of p.e. was probably like 1989.. so here i was, in 2004 getting a sort of public enemy offspring that was a tad more relevant to me (being a 20yr old going through what mr lif describes) in the song he says a lot of things about society, and at the same time he talked about very personal things that i could relate to completely at the time such as: looked in my fridge and found nothin/ dipped to my room, with an aura of gloom/ wishin i could write another tune/ but my hands are paralyzed, plus my eyes/ wanna shed tears, but its not possible there's/ the burden of things i couldn't bear/ feelings weren't dealt with properly, remorse follows me/ with his good friend, the threat of poverty/ here's where i am, vs. where i think i oughtta be/ i could say more about the lyrics but i would be typing the entire song out i want to say a few last things about it *the intro is incredible, it makes u feel like you're waking up inside if that makes any sense *the end with the different peoples voices makes u want to stand up and say "i-phantom" it makes u feel like part of an official generation with its own problems and struggles, but facing these as opposed to running from them comes with a feeling of strength *i like the personal mixed with the social.. having that all at once is rare *the production is amazing on every level *this song speaks for us "when a woman presents a problem to her man, the last thing she wants is a solution"
- chris rock great quote the statement itself obviously conflicts with the logic of many men personally, i think its fine to just listen to a girl talk about her frustrations, to me its cool, it gives me insight into her life and i get to see who she is and what she deals with it only becomes negative when its like the same thing everyday.. then its like.. ok if ur not doing anything to change the situation then why are u even complaining about it? does my pity make u feel better? i really like to hear about what goes on in a person's everyday life but obviously, like with anything, there has to be some sort of balance for example: if your boyfriend ruined your weekend.. i'm down.. go ahead tell me all about it.. i understand he ruined ur weekend but u still love him, he's worth the effort but if you have a new complaint about your boyfriend everyday for three months straight, then you just need to suffer that burden alone.. because at this point, you know what he is about and the pain u are experiencing should now be considered self-inflicted but my main point is, theres 2 sides and i see both of them guy thinks woman wants help, however woman wants validation this is crazy
definitely worth a look http://vigilantcitizen.com/ the question is.. r people worshipping satan without even knowing it? my thing is, keep your eyes open so today i peeped an episode of cheaters, and i looked at a car sticker and it said 2009 WHOA i wasn't sure if they were still makin new episodes but alas.. THEY ARE i would buy every season of cheaters if they put out a box set thing or even if they put out each season separately
everything about it is CRACK joey greco is teh boss peaCe so... i just saw an episode of true life where a guy proposed to his girl
now, everyone who knows me probably knows i am against a lot of stereotypical romantic things for example: public displays of affection disgust me i think they are rude and imposing, sorta like a form of visual pollution wedding shows and stuff disgust me because a lot of it to me just isn't real.. it becomes about having an impressive weddingas opposed to what the wedding is really about basically i consider a lot of lovey dovey kissy kissy stuff to be disgusting, in the same way a 5 year old does.. however i have reasons for my aversion to it all.. and on top of that.. IM A GUY (by the way.. before i complete this blog.. let me say this.. if ur reading this and u are going to get married.. DONT INVITE ME.. sounds grinchy don't it? .. meh) anyway.. i just watched this true life where this guy proposed to his girl he was white and she was black he was at her house and all her family was there.. it was like a get together for her family or something and she was the only one with a guest no one knew he was going to propose he saw his opportunity, approaching and so he got nervous, so he went outside to smoke a cigarette he went back in and stood in the middle of everyone he got everyone's attention and talked about how welcome he felt he was like you all have accepted me and made me feel right at home and everything then he focused his attention on his girl and said she is the most beautiful person he knows and all her family was like "awww" lol and then he took a deep breath, got on his knees, pulled out the ring and popped the question she started crying right there and when she got herself together she said yes ok.. why didn't i turn the channel? why wasn't i disgusted by this? i was thinking about it and for one, i felt like.. "wow that guy is strong" for a white guy to be in the midst of all black people and just go for it that's like.. i felt like it took a lot of courage second, i thought about the situation.. it looked genuine to me it wasn't on some seduction type ish.. it wasn't exactly ROMANTIC in the traditional sense.. it was on some "i love this girl and i'm not afraid to put myself out there for her" type ish see, one problem i have with seduction and romance in general sometimes is to me its MANIPULATIVE seduction and romance are often used to manipulate people into giving in to a request.. but this guy didn't take that route.. instead he walked into the terror dome with his head up, his back straight.. into all the critical eyes of her peers, and popped the question now to ME, that was real, and that was sincere and the other thing i liked about it was.. just the environment in general.. it wasn't about fancy places, spending a lot of money, or planned romance, no it was just at her familys house around people that loved her and that's whats important in life u know having things and living lavish is dope but that sort of stuff won't carry a good marriage.. so he didn't need to do some big thing and break the bank cuz that's not what a marriage is based on u know what i'm sayin? its like people plan all these elaborate things to propose to their girl but he did it the best way i've ever seen anyone do it and he did it for free! just wanted to talk about that a bit but anyone who reads this (if ur a chick).. u BETTER NOT be thinking i am gonna have a conversation with u about "awedding story" shows now i just thought that guy had the right intentions, and normally when i see stuff about love, or romance, or weddings, people have all their priorities wrong so it was refreshing thats all peaCe here is my toast to 2009 the reasons why this year has been a great time (and yeah i know its october and we still have time, but let ya boy do what he does aight? lol) *these are in no particular order* 1. i bought a playstation 3 in january 2. i had a goal to get back in school and i did 3. i had a goal to move into an apartment and i did 4. i finished paying my car off 5. i got into some cool modern bands such as "killswitch engage" "friendly fires" "bat for lashes" and a few more 6. THIS WEBSITE.. this has been great for me to be able to express myself.. i am like really really opinionated and i always seem to have something i want to get off my chest or show someone.. this website has allowed me to do video blogs, show albums i like, talk about my personal life, display my music, post videos and more i don't really know who comes to my site but every once in a while someone will tell me they check me out on here and they will tell me i said something that made them laugh.. so i just keep doin what i do and basically its a great outlet 7. tasia my neice was born this year.. she was a great change of pace for me because i have 2 nephews and when they see uncle bonkers they run up to me and just start punching me in the legs LOL.. so to have a niece is a blessing to me soo i got up to 7 without even really trying good times indeed i'd say its a good list, so let me see what i can get into for the day peaCe |
