I love my hour block after Statistics Class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It usually involves Subway right when it opens in the VCU student commons and hilarious conversation with the one and only Jon Bowden. It seems like all the political discussions seems to go on in the student commons but I dont partake because I dont want to waste my most relaxing hour a day trying to convince stupid freshmen that George W. Bush was the biggest fuck up in the free world.
Today is Halloween though and the awesome thing about VCU is that EVERYONE participates, even at 11 in the morning. I haven't really had time to put any costume together because I had some much shit to accomplish this week and I REALLY had to focus on paying my rent, but its awesome watching 5 kids I pass today pretend to be Quailman from Doug. Yeah. VCU is the shit, aint no doubt about it.
There is a huge dance party tonight but I don't think I am going because my family is coming up for the day the next morning and I want to make sure my roommates are no throwing or still drunk when they get here AND Cruz is wearing clothes if he is sleeping on our couch. I will probably just chill and read up for my Health Professions test that I still have not rescheduled yet. Maybe i'll have a drink or two with my roommates but not an extremely exciting Halloween for me.
Back to chilling in the Student Commons, I'm done with class for the week and I should really be crawling back into bed, but I'm watching the most hilarious motherfucker in the world Jon Bowden finish his math project with him not knowing the fact I sabotaged his facebook status (GO SEE IF YOU ARE HIS FRIEND). Usually around this time he is trying to flirt with this very attractive junior Spanish Biomedical Engineering Major that always sits a table away from us. Not today. He seems pretty focused today. Usually he would crack a joke with the girl about Sarah Palin (which the girl we sit next to, cant stand Sarah Palin), but hes doing his little line graph that we learned how to do in like 6th grade.
Anywayzzzzzz its a long chilly walk back to my house, so I should get a move on it. OH. Today is payday and I'm super excited about it. Some sneakers or a new ipod in my future? Maybe. I just hope Dad sent that check that he promised...

The Family
Chenelle
Mommy
Marc Jr.
Me and Nicholas
Dad, Chenelle and Donovan
DonovanSince my family is coming this Saturday, I wanted to give my fellow bloggers some brief insight of the folks I lived with before I moved to VCU...
Mom-- she is a character, You would think from her swagger she is 24 rather than 38 haha. I owe this woman my life for giving up a scholarship to Howard University to raise me at 18. Very strong willed and free-spirited and will do anything for her kids. I can talk to her about pretty much everything.
Dad-- probably one of the most laid-back Army Veterans on earth. He went to the University of Maryland where he majored in Journalism, wrestled in the NCAA, and became a brother of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. He used to be a stand-up comedian and he is probably one of the most hilarious people on earth and he does a great job of teaching his boys on how to become men and has fun doing it (i.e. Super Smash Brothers til 3:30 in the morning
Marc Jr.-- my little brother, he is 16 and second and command when it comes to the kids. He probably spends more time worrying about sports than his grades (went to 4-Square Club instead of Young Democrats and SCA during club period) but is a great student. He is very quiet around school, but probably one of the most talkative people in the house. I heard VCU, Hampton University and GWU (for Music Engineering) were his top three schools right now and ladies love him, because he seems 'mysterious'.
Chenelle-- little sisterrrrr, she has really evolved since she started high school. She was an All-District spinter for the track team as a freshman, very smart and studious, and has an extreme interest in dance. She is ALWAYS reading which is awesome, but she has a slight obsession with Chris Brown. Its pretty hard on her to grow up in a house full a boys but she seen as one of the homies
Donovan-- WOW...this kid is from another planet...he is smart (taking sophomore classes as a freshman) hes athletic (plays football and basketball and runs track) and probably one of the most hilarious kids....ever. He looks me and my mom but has the attitude of my dad. When he is upset he is UPSET...and everyone knows it. He is about 5'2 and talks to you like he is the King of the house. His slurs and catchphrases are worth spending the night with him instead of finding a party in Lynchburg. The worst part is I am Donovan's number one fan
Nicholas-- elementary school boy genius...seriously. He takes all accelerated classes, he knows computers and he taught me about famous explorers over fall break that I have never heard of. Nick is freaking 8! lol He is basically Mom's favorite child because he is the youngest, he is cute, and because he is so awesomely smart. I am Nicholas' favorite brother and I take some pride in that. There were some rumors that he cried when I left for college, but I couldn't confirm it with him. He LOVES his video games and hates reading, so he is basically the average eight year old, but not really
Bentley-- my puppy!!!! i love him! thats all lol

Sneakers!!!!!!!
HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sneakerheads on a date!
Since these are designed by Kanye West, I can only imagine how much they cost...BUT I want them so baddddd. They are effin sweet!
Me and my type of girl :-)
Okay
"Shes beautiful. Shes sweet. Shes genuine. Shes gorgeous. Shes well cultured. Shes kind. Shes honest. She makes me happy. She can talk to me in a different language. She stays on my mind. She would never hurt me. She has had her problems, but I love her all the same"
I'm looking outside my window looking at Richmond and shaking my head. It's raining, the street lights are flickering down the street by Interstate 64, shady people lurking at 1.3o in the morning on Marshall Street, cop car speeds by, random biker in her skinny jeans pedaling like there is no tomorrow and you can hear the bass from a car a mile away. Yep, this is my school. I wouldn't change it for the world. I can see myself here for the rest of my life or maybe New York :-) (who knows). All I know is that Richmond is never boring and I wouldn't change it for anything.

Stressed To The Point of No End (S.S.T.T.P.N.E.)
Sorry for the whole not updating my blog thing for a while...I've been been having a very stressful 10 days and the next week isn't going to be much better. The grades to all my classes are slipping a bit, my car was vandalized and some things were stolen out of it, my family is coming up the day after Halloween, i have 4 exams THIS week before Halloween and I'm working a bajillion hours to cover my rent that is due Monday. I thought about ending my life (not seriously), but I realized I'm stronger than that. I just have to keep my faith in my intelligence and my faith and I'm sure I will be okay.
I have a wonderful supporting cast around me and they make it easier to deal with the stress and I have no idea what I would do without them. I guess I just have to keep it moving. Oh. And we're pushing back the date of our second album because our roommate sleeps too much and now all his sleeping is interfering with his schoolwork (who fucking knew right?).
When I went back to Lynchburg a week and half ago, I had a conversation with my mom about being genuine. She said she loves me to death but she feels I'm not as a genuine as I should be and college corrupted me a little bit. I was completely shell shocked. I thought myself as an okay individual and college broadened my thinking and made me a more confident individual, but never a cocky, arrogant, non-genuine individual and hearing it from my mom made it 53450934 times worse. So over the past week I've been kind of reevaluating what I say to people and kind of keeping a low profile and talking to my true friends and genuine people.
We live and we learn I guess...nothing much I can do about it now. I guess stay humble and appreciative
OHHHH
andddd i figured out my next tattoo, Psalm 23 on my right peck followed by "Charles" the last name of me and my late grandfather Junius Charles Brown...i miss him
Studying needs to be accomplished tonight one way or another...

RoboCop
Bout the baddest girl I ever seen
Straight up outta movie scene
Who knew she was a drama queen
That'll turn my life to Stephen King's
Checking everything like I'm on parole
Up late night, like she on patrol
I told her it's some things she don't need to know
She never let it go...
Just looking at your history
You're like the girl in misery
She said she ain't take it to this degree
Well let's agree to disagree
I know she kinda crazy but it turns me on
Keep it up enough to keep it going on
I told her it's some things she don't need to know
She never let it go...

Flip The Script
Why do black men love white women?
Wow...I think even as a black man that's a harder question to answer. Personally when it comes to ladies in general I don't discriminate by race. I am attracted to black, white, Asians, Mexicans, Dominicans or whatever. I'm attracted to.....intelligent conversation, free spirits, dancers, accents, diversity and music lovers. I'm attracted to girls in general.
BUT
White girls are built different. I don't know, they just are. Physically, emotionally and psychologically they are just built differently.
Lets start with the physical side. White women have absolutely incredible body shapes that guys are looking for. Not to say that other races don't, but I believe white women take better care of their bodies. I'm attracted to girls who dedicated to their school work AND the gym after class. White girls want their bodies to be perfect and it's amazingly sexy. Even those who never worked out a day in their lives but look amazing is also sexy.
Emotionally, white girls are very sincere people. Not to say all white girls are considerate and black girls aren't at all, but all the white girls that came across my life have been pretty sincere people. Sincere and free-spirited girls are SUPER SEXY. Not only because they have their own opinions, but sincere girls know how to take care of their men and we will be the same way. Girls want their guys to be super confident and I think guys want the same thing. I think if we were out in public holding hands with you, I want you to think you are the baddest thing out there and I'm the one thats super lucky to have you.
Also for black guys it doesn't take much for us to please white women in general. Being intimate, saying cute things, out in public or when it comes to surprising them, girls like it when guys d0 the little things. White girls LOVE when you do the the little things. White guys seem to be lost in translation when it comes to doing little things for their women.
Touching base with what my friend said, white girls are also brave when it comes to interracial dating. Because being with a black man means you are going to catch heat whether it is from society or her own family. Not only does it touch base with the bravery quality, but it touches the sincerity quality knowing your girl is going to be there for you no matter what. Through thick and thin. That is all a true man is looking for. And for the most part, white women can provide that.

BLACK Men...WHITE Women...
I got A LOT of comments on the post I put up Wednesday about white women loving black men. Ever since then, I have been doing a bit of research and I asked about 20 girls (all once being in a interracial relationship with a black man) why they feel African American men are so sexy. It was pretty damn...interesting...Here are some anonymous quotes...
"I want black men. They want me. We look at one another and exchange a visible frisson of sexual energy in the lingering glances. And our attraction is based first on race. We are not those couples who 'happen to fall in love' with someone of a different race or more purposefully come together but out of some greater sense of interracial understanding and respect"
"White women turn to black men when their sex drives kick into higher gear and their social inhibitions recede into the rearview mirror. It's a 'yes, baby, now I'm ready for you' reaction."
"Black men have more energy, style and edge than white men. They know how to flirt, a nearly lost art among the rest of us. A black man is so damned sexy because he knows how to make a woman feel sexy."
"Black men have something white guys don't have anymore: confidence in their masculinity, their sexuality. They clearly know they're men. White men appear to be waiting for the latest sociological research study to let them know if they are men or not. Yet black men are gentlemen, something else white men no longer are. They make me feel like a woman, both respected and desired. I can let go of my inhibitions, my need to control, when I am with them. How many white men can treat a woman like a lady and ravish her too?..."
"They look better than white men, they touch and kiss and make love better than white men. Statistically, their penises are only a fraction of an inch bigger on average, but they seem bigger and harder."
"Black skin is thick and lush, sensuous to the touch, like satin and velvet made flesh. There's only one patch of skin on a white man's body that remotely compares to nearly every inch of a black man's skin. The first time I caressed black skin, it felt like a luxury I shouldn't be able to afford. I craved it more strongly than Carrie Bradshaw craved Manolo Blahnik shoes."
"Society today is tremendous. You never would have thought 50% of white women date outside their race, but the reason is that black men are so desired. Black girls hate us for it, but that is their problem. They are allowed to date outside their race too."

Heartless
How could you be so
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You need to watch the way you talkin' to me though
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Ayo I know its some things that you ain't told me
Ayo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna give me back and you gonna show me
So you walk round like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely
How could you be so Dr. Evil
You bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so
Why we up 3 AM on the phone?
Why do she be so mad at me for?
Homie, I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up
Cuz I already know how this thing go.
You run and tell your friends that ya leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple of months, then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me!

Nature Of The Beast
Why does everyone in the Richmond area seem highly unmotivated lately? Well maybe not unmotivated, but question their life choices???
Let me take a step back and explain my reasoning for this blog entry. Me and one of my roommates are pretty stressed about our school situations. Me, its strictly my course load and working 22 hours a week. My roommate is kind of questioning his goals and feels like his classes isnt worth his time. Anyone who knows my roommate would think he is too motivated and too smart to be questioning something like that. I told him on the way to the bank, I told him that I just finished my practical I studied all morning for and now im about to study for my Stats test on Monday.
"How the hell? I could never do something like that! I don't see how you have the motivation for something like that...you grind crazy hard, like you really dont take breaks during the week. How do you do it?"
I replied, "Adderall, coffee and motivation. Mostly motivation though."
I mean, I really dont have a choice. A lot of kids have the money to waste to chill in college and second guess what they are doing there, I really cant do that. I have obligations to my family and myself. My roommate is kind of lost and I really am too, but I think that I just refuse to believe it. When I feel lost I hit the gym or read a book or continue to write this book I am working on or talk to my boy that lives right under me because he puts things into perspective. We both come from similar walks of life and the same area, so we just talk, smoke hookah and chill.
At the same time he feels his life is wasting away and pointless and I'm starting to feel it too, so what should I do?
Like I said before...I really dont have a choice and neither does my roommate...

Yeppp
It is always wonderful to hear from my cousin at Frostburg in Maryland. Tonight she called me all excited about some crazy ass ski trip she wants me and my roommates to go on in January. I looked at the site and it seemed amazingly legit. For 4oo dollars, you take a round trip to Quebec, Canada for 5 days and 4 nights and stay at the best Snow-condo resorts in North America. There are parties next door at the French club every night and the gamble/drinking age is 18...which is pretty amazing because anyone can go, you just have to be in college
My mommy said she would pay for it if I promised to room with my cousin and it would be my main Christmas present this year...um I'll take the trip. I feel as if I need to leave the country for a little bit and catch up on legalized drinking and snowboarding. I told Mommy to lay down my money for it tomorrow. If you are in college and you want to go, hit my blog up and I will give you the details. Now back to studying....

Tale From Carriage Hosue Apartments
Ok so its about 3pm and I finished my classes and my homework for the day and I wanted to post a little update about my day
In my Stats class, my professor did NOT hand back the test from Friday and I was slightly disappointed. I got a text message from my mommy telling me to call her and that she bought me some shirts and im pretty excited about them. I learned about Distributions in Stats class
In Health Professions class I fell asleep for the second time. All the prof did was read straight from the printed notes and the only reason why I go is because she passes out an attendance sheet every class. I talked with Arsalan about the Redskins winning again. Slowest 50 minutes of the freaking day lol
Around Noon called Mama back and set up my XBOX360 only to find out that my Madden game is missing. Grrrr. Brad and Kwame went to Econ class and I'm sure if Nate is here or not, but i reallyyyyy dont want to read CPR but I have a practical. The person I want to talk to is reading the Odyssey and has to be at work later. I might go to the gym but for right now I am looking for a funny ringtone for my phone and listening to the construction outside my house. I'm really excited to go back to the Burg on the 15th or 16th. Update Complete

SLEEEEEPPPPPP!!!!
1. It's impossible to tell if someone is really awake without close medical supervision. People can take cat naps with their eyes open without even being aware of it.
2. Dreams, once thought to occur only during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, also occur (but to a lesser extent) in non-REM sleep phases. It's possible there may not be a single moment of our sleep when we are actually dreamless.
3. REM dreams are characterised by bizarre plots, but non-REM dreams are repetitive and thought-like, with little imagery - obsessively returning to a suspicion you left your mobile phone somewhere, for example.
4. Humans sleep on average around three hours less than other primates like chimps, rhesus monkeys, squirrel monkeys and baboons, all of whom sleep for 10 hours.
5. Ducks at risk of attack by predators are able to balance the need for sleep and survival, keeping one half of the brain awake while the other slips into sleep mode.
6. The "natural alarm clock" which enables some people to wake up more or less when they want to is caused by a burst of the stress hormone adrenocorticotropin. Researchers say this reflects an unconscious anticipation of the stress of waking up.
7. Elephants sleep standing up during non-REM sleep, but lie down for REM sleep.
8. Tiny luminous rays from a digital alarm clock can be enough to disrupt the sleep cycle even if you do not fully wake. The light turns off a "neural switch" in the brain, causing levels of a key sleep chemical to decline within minutes.
9. The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses.
10. Have you heard of Sexsomnia synrom? Well, it's a condition completely distinct from sleepwalking and is a form of sleep disorder called REM behavioral disorder. The condition can range in severity from disruptive moaning to unwanted, and sometimes violent, sexual advances to their partner.

I cant believe...
Our album is like 85-90% done. It was a fast moving and highly motivated process and its going to be hard trying to cut and choose songs for the album. We had like 50 beats sent in, made about 30 songs and had ideas for about 10 skits. The album is pretty much our lives here at VCU in a sweet hip-hop album form. Next time (our third album) I think we are going to focus on other talent surrounding us in the Richmond area (because there is a ton) and place it on the streets first quarter 2009.
Our lead off single 'Do Ya Dance' is one side of the album. The incredible thing about this album is that it is highly diverse. We have your college records (Drunk Text, Full Capacity), we have your chill tracks (Just Chill, Talk To Her), we have your original tracks (Find Me On My Deck, Laidbackandsexy), some remixes to some cool tracks (Dr. Love and Everybody Nose), and still our off the wall tracks (Beat It). Sooooo please cop this record, if you liked our first album you will love this one. Were changing the game by all means.

Why?.....
.....are girls so protective of their middle names? I know so many girls that who just despise their middle names so much they have to keep it a secret, some of you have awesome middle names and you are just afraid of what people might think. STOP IT. You will be fine. I promise =)

Text Messaging
I live and die (supposedly) by text messaging and its weird because I never thought myself as that type of person since Rhoads 17 is recording a track called "Drunk Text" and I've had my mine on the subject, I've decided to post some cool random text messaging facts
-40% of the world have a text messaging capable phone
- There is a 4.6 Billion dollar revenue for cell phone data plans
-Over 70% of mobile users send text messages
- U.S. subscribers sent close to 141 billion text messages through the first half of this year. That's about double the number sent in the first half of 2007.
Haha now that I have thought about it, I've had 5 cell phones since my senior year of high school which is quite ridiculous, but what can you do? I love texting, especially on new phones...it keeps me in the loop :-)

Cookie Jar
I got a thing for Milano, Biscotti Italianos
And I never turn down some Oreos if you got those
Butter Pecan Puerto Rican,
Or them Oatmeal Raisin Asians.
Hazelnut Brazilians,
Macadamia Caucasians,
Double stuffed or thin mint
It don't matter you getting it
Cause I got a sweet tooth that'll never come loose
And the fact of the matter is...
I like girls,
They like me
They look so good
In their Seven jeans
Want you to be the one
And my only
I want to be faithful
But I can't keep my hands out the cookie jar
