I need to work on my list of the greatest rappers of all time or write my psych papers...Probably psych papers...

Blame It On The Alcohol



My car failed inspection damn itttttt!

I wasnt expecting that today but shit happens, now I have to take my car home and fix everything that is wrong with it. Well. At least ill have the benefit of the doubt knowing that my car won't explode when its finally fixed. Mom has been a little bit more leniant with money since she is working now and the first of the month quickly approached again. Soooo depressing. Being broke because you just paid all your bills is probably one of the most depressing feelings in the world. But hey what can you do...hopefully my paycheck next week wont be complete shit but things happen.


In other news my brother is coming down next week for the N.E.R.D. concert and im pretty hyped about it. Last time he stayed with me, it was a complete miracle I was able to sign him at the dorms, but its going to be good to spend some quality time with the kid. I cant believe he is going to be a senior in high school next year. Time is just flying by.




On a more serious note, I have been a little depressed as of lately after my parents announced that they were separating. My brothers are staying with my mom and my sister Chenelle is moving out with my dad. It completely sucks for all the kids but if I gets my parents to stop fighting for in front of my baby brother Nicholas, I'm down for whatever works. It just sucks that I really can't rely on my dad as much as I do now, but maybe it is a fresh beginning for everyone.




Now I really need a drink...




Oh on a lighter note now...I went with Rachy Rach to look at new tattoos and she ended up gettting three stars behind ear today. It was pretty cute, I'm not going to lie. She going to end up being a tatted up Richmond girl soon. Next week I'm getting "Psalm 23" tattoooed on my right pec after I pay rent. I'm pretty excited about it. While I was waiting for Nelson (our tattoo artist) I spotted an issue of the super SUPER incredible Megan Fox. You don't even have the slightest idea. Girl is H.O.T.



Anddddd this is who I caught Cruz and Nate looking at together the other night


Oh i love my roommates...

100th Post

Wow...I havent been on here in a mintue, but there is nothing like a fresh blog post in the late afternoon lol. These past two in the half weeks have been very hectic and quite interesting with school starting up again and all the students being back in town. And with me having class on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, this should be a pretty fun semester. But anyway I want to recap the past couple weeks before I talk about the future.

Having classes on only Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays kick ASS. A four day weekend every week and I can squeeze my readings and homework either after my classes or before them. I just hate the huge break after my comparative politics class and my interpersonal relations class (like 2 and a half hours). My professors are pretty sweet and its pretty easy to stay awake.

I saw Notorious the day it came out and I couldnt be more impressed. Even though you know Biggie was going to die at the end, I shedded a tear for Big Poppa. It seemed like he was finally getting his life together before he died in LA.

I started the first two chapters in a book I'm working on. I thought about writing a book last year while I was living in the dorms and I wrote down ideas in a couple notebooks last year. But over winter break I moved my notes to Microsoft Word and Notepad and found my way to finish two pretty distinct chapters. I'm not going to reveal much detail about it yet but I'm really excited for people to read it when its finished.

I started going back to work and the gym. The time and effort that I put into both is pretty incredible on top of everything I already do, but they help me get retarded things that are going on in my life out of my head. I like my job alot and the money that I make there is pretty awesome and I like the independence of not asking my parents for shit (and it gets to the point where they ask me for shit on a regular basis lol)

I finally got my stallion Toyota Camry moving again after not being able to start for weeks and weeks. I missed it moving all the time and now it doesnt give my parents an excuse to bring it home and not let me drive it anymore. My parents said they were surprised I didn't take my car away to different colleges for the weekend. Now that they think stuff like that, I might as well just do it lol

What else...what else...oh yeahhhhh MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK, MY LAMBO IS BLUE AND I BE GODDAMNED IF MY RIMS AINT TOO. YESSIRRRR!

Congratulations President Barack Hussein Obama.
We will party this weekend on the occasion.

You know you are at VCU when...

The dance parties at 534 are the highlight of your weekend

Midnight runs to Taco Bell are almost mandatory every couple of weeks

Its TRULY dangerous to walk back from your 7pm to 9.40 class

The Student Commons is dominated by black kids by day and Muslim kids by night

More than half of the male student body wears skinny jeans

There is a band playing in almost restaurant on Broad Street, every night

You get club invites from party promoters on Facebook and you always click "Not Attending"

One player is the focal point of the Men's basketball team

Halloween is the craziest night of the year

Parties that don't get busted before 2am are usually forgotten about by the next morning

Your number one alcohol connect is the homeless guy that is always hanging around Monroe Park or Ukrops

Adderall is the number one study tool

The frat guy are ALL losers but they throw decents parties for losers lol

Homecoming is in February

You have a distinct respect for street art

If you dont have a tattoo...GET WITH THE PROGRAM...EVERYONE IS DOING IT

Half of your freshman friends are undecided at a major

Belle Isle is the place to go to during the Spring Semester

Virginia Beach day trips during spring finals are a given

Floyd Avenue during Christmas time is amazing

You can have a regular conversation in your 400 people class and no one would notice

The best teachers here are the Psychology professors

There is nothing like getting up at 8am in the morning during Add/Drop period to beat other people for higher level classes

Half of your friends own houses by sophomore year

Uneven bricks...duh

Gotta love those all night Student Commons parties

Cary Street Athletes kick ass!

You know when you are in college when...

The standard of meals per day falls to two, sometimes just one

Your idea of feeding the poor is buying yourself some ramen noodles

You ask people what YOU did last night

You pay $100 for a book you don't read once, return it four months later, and get $7

Going to the library is a social event

You stay up late to finish homework then sleep through the class in which it was due

Care packages rank right up there with birthdays

You can't imagine life without your computer/cell phone/ ipod

Class size doubles on exam days

There's always a "question kid" in at least one of your classes, and you really wish someone would just tell him/her to shut the hell up

You set your clock 5-10 minutes ahead so you can potentially make it to class on time

Energy drinks become your new best friends

It is completely acceptable... and encouraged... to party on weeknights. What would life be without Wasted Wednesdays or Thirsty Thursdays

You go home for winter/summer break and suddenly your life back at college seems so exciting...

You smell the clear liquid in your water bottle before you drink it... just to make sure it's actually water

You attend insanely boring seminars because your professor offers extra credit. Hmm, maybe there will even be cookies or something...

Conversation

Girl: So when did you first start rapping?
Boy: Ummm... I would say about 12 years old, yeah around 11 or 12
Girl: So how did you first get started? Who influenced you?
Boy: It wasn't like anyone really influenced me, I was just sick and tired of being on the streets you know? I had to separate myself away from that
Girl: Oh I feel you... So where are you from?
Boy: DC but i live in Virginia now
Girl: What rappers do you like?
Boy: Old School I like Biggie, Kool G. Rap, Rakim, KRS-One and today I like Jay-Z, Nas, Em, Wayne, Jadakiss, Q-Tip and Cory Gunz on the come-up
Girl: What's your feel on women?
Boy: Haha interesting question on multiple accounts...I learned different things from different people. They are definitely cool to have around, but in the end you will die by yourself and only by yourself. NEVER trip over no bitch and that's straight from my mother's mouth. Love is cool and all that, but always look out for me, myself and I.
Girl: You want to be a doctor, why is that?
Boy: I get this question a lot. I love studying the human body and what makes it tick, what makes people sick, how the brain functions, all that is amazing to me. The body is a very complex machine and I see myself researching it for the rest of my life
Girl: If you weren't in college what would you be doing?
Boy: I dont know. Probably something illegal because legal money with no college education doesnt pay enough
Girl: Suicidal Thoughts By The Notorious B.I.G. ...What does that mean to you
Boy: I first heard that song when I was 9 years old and it was eerie to me because I relate to bits and pieces to my own life. Now when I hear it I can relate to it so much because I know how that life is and that is why I decided I had to go to college.
Girl: I think you have lived a blessed life...
Boy: I think that too sometimes. Sometimes I feel as if I don't deserve the life I live and sometimes I don't want to live the life I live, but I have to keep it moving because i have to many people relying on me.

Dance: The Ultimate Art Form

Society Laying Low

Another cloudy, lights out, headphones on, boxer brief lounging, small headache afternoon for me here in Richmond. I woke up at 2.35 today feeling like I'm wasting my life away, but I realized I am STILL on winter break for another week. EHHHH mixed feelings about that. I like the feeling of being busy and constantly on the move to the point I was using my LG Voyager as a business device. Chillin in the Students Commons geekin before and after class and socializing with the African guy outside who i purchase my scarves from. It's going to be a pretty exciting, hectic and fast-paced semester (which I think the way full time students should have it). Tomorrow it all begins for me because I'm going to buy my books that are going to cost around 400 dollars, but thank God for awesome moms who are there to help you when you truly need it.

I think this is going to be my most exciting semester thus far because of a couple reasons. I know people in every single one of my classes, I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and I'm not overloading for the first time my college career with only 18 credits. YESSIR. Also I can't wait to get my refunddd from financial aid, because I have mad shit to buy for this house and a couple of things for myself and rent is paid for the next the 3 or 4 months (which means working less). Oh yeah, it should be a good one.

Tonight I think I'm going to my boys crib to play some card games, drink a bit and chill with some good peoples since no one is really back in town yet and I feel terrible for laying in bed so long. I love being in Richmond bored. Its much better than being in Lynchburg bored...

Album of The Week: Notorious B.I.G.-- Ready To Die (.9.13.1994)


One of the greatest albums ever assembled. Two weeks to go until the premiere of the movie. To prep for the movie I am going to post my favorite lines from each song off this classical masterpiece. Enjoy.

1. Intro-- "Bitch I am not afraid to slap the shit out of a woman! FUCK PRISON"

2. Things Done Changed-- "Shit, it's hard being young from the slums/Eatin five cent gums not knowin where your meals comin from/And now the shit's gettin crazier and major/Kids younger than me, they got the sky grand pagers/Goin outta town, blowin up/Six months later all the dead bodies showin up..."

3. Gimme The Loot-- "I wouldn't give fuck if you're pregnant/Give me the baby rings and a #1 mom pendant"

4. Machine Gun Funk-- "Sticks and stones break bones but the gat'll kill you quicker/Especially when i'm drunk off the liquor/Smokin funk by the boxes, packin glocks is/Natural to eat you niggaz like chocolates"

5. Warning-- "Call the coroner...There's gonna be alot of slow singin/And flower bringin/If my burglar alarm starts ringin..."

6. Ready To Die-- "Fuck the world, fuck my moms and my girl/My life is played out like a jheri curl, i'm ready to die"

7. One More Chance-- "Sex gettin rougher when it come to the nut buster/Pussy crusher, black nasty motherfucker/I don't chase them, I replace them/And if i'm caressin them, i'm undressin them"

8. Fuck Me (Interlude)-- "You big Slim Fast blendin' motherfucker!"

9. The What (featuring Method Man)--
" I used to get feels on a bitch/Now i throw shields on the dick/To stop me from that HIV shit/And niggaz know they soft like a twinkie filling/Playin the villian/Prepare for this rap killin"

10. Juicy-- "
And i'm far from cheap, I smoke skunk with my peeps all day/Spread love, it's the brooklyn way"

11. Everyday Struggle-- "I had the master plan/I'm in the caravan on my way to Maryland/With my man two-techs to take over this projects/They call him two-techs, he tote two techs/And when he start to bust he like to ask, "who's next?""

12. Me and My Bitch-- "It didn't take long before the tears start/I saw my bitch dead with the gunshot to the heart/And i know it was meant for me/I guess the niggaz felt they had to kill the closest one to me/And when i find em your life is to and end/They killed my best friend... me and my bitch..."

13. Big Poppa-- "Straight up honey really i'm askin/Most of these niggaz think they be mackin but they be actin/Who they attractin with that line, "what's your name what's your sign"/Soon as he buy that wine i just creep up from behind/And ask what your interests are, who you be with/Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial..."

14. Respect--
"Then came the worst date, may 21st/2:19, that's when my momma water burst/No spouse in the house so she rode for self/To the hospital, to see if she could get a little help/Umbilical cord's wrapped around my neck/I'm seein' my death and i ain't even took my first step/I made it out, i'm bringin' mad joy/The doctor looked and said, "he's gonna be a bad boy"

15. Friend of Mine-- "Now when i'm fuckin' those jen I'm invincible/Don't love no hoe, that's my principle"

16. Unbelievable-- "Lights get dimmer down biggie's hallway/My forte causes Caucasians to say/He sounds demented, car-weed scented/If i said it, i meant it/Bite my tongue for no-one
Call me evil, or unbelievable"

17. Suicidal Thoughts-- "
When i die, fuck it i wanna go to hell
Cause i'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit the goodie-goodies
Dressed in white, i like black tims and black hoodies
God will probably have me on some real strict shit
No sleepin' all day, no gettin my dick licked
Hangin' with the goodie-goodies loungin' in paradise
Fuck that shit, i wanna tote guns and shoot dice
All my life i been considered as the worst
Lyin' to my mother, even stealin' out her purse
Crime after crime, from drugs to extortion
I know my mother wished she got a fuckin' abortion
She don't even love me like she did when i was younger
Suckin' on her chest just to stop my fuckin' hunger
I wonder if i died, would tears come to her eyes?
Forgive me for my disrespect, forgive me for my lies
My babies' mothers 8 months, her little sister's 2
Who's to blame for both of them (naw nigga, not you)
I swear to god i just want to slit my wrists and end this bullshit
Throw the magnum to my head, threaten to pull shit
And squeeze, until the bed's, completely red
I'm glad i'm dead, a worthless fuckin' buddah head
The stress is buildin' up, i can't,
I can't believe suicide's on my fuckin' mind
I want to leave, i swear to god i feel like death is fuckin' callin' me
Naw you wouldn't understand (nigga, talk to me please)
You see its kinda like the crack did to pookie, in new jack
Except when i cross over, there ain't no comin' back
Should i die on the train track, like remo in beatstreet
People at the funeral frontin' like they miss me
My baby momma kissed me but she glad i'm gone
She knew me and her sista had somethin' goin' on
I reach my peak, i can't speak,
Call my nigga chic, tell him that my will is weak.
I'm sick of niggas lyin', i'm sick of bitches hawkin',
Matter of fact, i'm sick of talkin'..."
