I am a member of

THE FINEST BAND IN THE LAND!!
let it be known....my recent bowl trip to San Antonio
taught me alot about the Marching Band......
now during this time in San Antonio, our band had 3 practices, while missouri's only had one
and of course missouri band's had way more trumpets than we did,
but at the game on monday, we definitely did a better job...we were definitely motivated....
i mean their halftime show...consisted of half the time standing still...and then when they did move it really wasn't that great.....

i dont think having a lot members is an excuse for not have interesting drills...i mean illinois has a large band and their drills our pretty kool...and then what about the drum corps....their a good amount of them......

after seeing mizzou's halftime performance i was like really? that's ur halftime show..BORING!
but when the Wildcat Marching Band stepped on to that field...we entertained...and worked our butts off....we were the Shittt....plain and simple......

and marching that halftime i realized why we had 3 rehearsals, and why we practice so much....so that we knew our stuff...we weren't stumbling over ourselves, our marching and playing was on point...and that's why were the finest band in the land......although other bands may be bigger, and louder, and play popular songs.....we work hard....and we know we're the BEST BAND IN THE LAND!!

I LOVE NUMB....
aight....that was serious.....
sooo
Random video of NUMB..... okay so not really...




hahahha

PEACE...

ALAMO BOWL ramblings...

i definitely had fun over my trip...so many memories, laughs, smiles created in just 3 days, mucho fun....san antonio was awesome!!

here's an update about stuff....

1. plane rides, was pretty scary the first time, well the take-off and the landing...on the way back it was pretty smooth....very good experience for the first time

2. it was very warm, very very warm...good 75 degrees which was awesome....except when we had practice, cuz i was sweating for realzy....but ultimately that produce a very good performance by our marching band (more about that in another post)

3. I didn't get to meet up with my high school friend.....sad :(....yeha it's alright tho...

New year ramblings

With the approach of the New Year, I'm having a weird nostalgia for everything
especially i guess my teenage year, and before that (i dont know)....
i miss everything about being young, (which i still am)
maybe i should say younger...
maybe it has to do with that im a year older now...and its just now
hitting me about 20 days later.......i don't know....
well guess i gotta move on that's about all i can do with the past
definitely can't recreate it....
so yeah that the end of my rambling ....

About the Blog

This blog is entitled afroboi. The title came from the afro-crown atop my head. But it now more so celebrates the persepctive of an Afro (African/Black) American. I'll talk about anything that I find funny, interesting, lame, racist, informative, stupid, random, the list goes on. Just some general topics are music, movies, tv shows, celebs, sports, videos, current conditions. It's just my view on everything, as an Afroboi.

Thoughts on Snow

Simple as this.......very straight to the point
Snow sucks (BIG BALLS) !...oh yeha it maybe beautiful right afterwards...
but then...BUT THEN....somebody gotta shovel it...and put salt down.......
sometimes people even get into accidents (in cars that is) because of the ice that comes along with it
WTF snow?!!
geeezzzz
See look how pretty......



But then someone (maybe me ,maybe not me).........
has to do this......ehhh


I don't like you snow.........maybe I just gotta get used to you first...
idk...anywayz....that's it....

HOLLA AT CHA BOI!!!!!
PEACE & CHicken Grease!

Music Rambles

I'm a big fan of music: I love to sing, play the trumpet, I'm constantly creating random songs....
FAV music: R&B, Gospel, some Hip-Hop, Pop, rock, up to giving every song a chance.....

So I've been checking this out, if you don't know about this, you should
imeem.com, free playlists of new album, which I like, and other random songs...pretty kool overall for music...

Keyshia Cole, of BET-fame "They Way It Is" (You should check this show out, some real family drama, which is my life) Anywayz she has come out with a new album called "A Different Me".

She's definitely different than the Keyshia Cole of her first two album: not that much passion in the voice for me. The songs, which you can check out at imeem.com, sound too much alike. The only really r&b-sounding track, besides "Playa Cardz Right" ft. Tupac, is a track with fellow r&b songtress Monica, "Trust". Check it out here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lauryn Hill, one of my favorite Neo-Soul (probably the definition of Neo-Soul) artist ever!. Currently fell back in love with her, thanks to imeem. If you listen to some of her stuff from her Unplugged albums, this woman he's amazing. The messages of her songs are too deep, still can't figure it out. Just amazing. I believe she's working on stuff, hopefully she can get an album out soon..Please!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bryon Cage, a gospel artist, who I think goes uncredited and unrecognized, his songs are
amazing...check him out on imeem as well (I told you that's the stuff)...anywayz very prasing, worship songs. Melodies and Harmonies amazing. Cage is also dramatic sometimes, but it helps create wonderful worship music. Hopefully I'll see him in concert before I die...hahahaha

Movie Rambles

Here's my thoughts on some movies, some I have seen, and others coming soon to theaters

An oldie Double Take:

Starring some missing faces, Orlando Jones (left, of Mad TV-fame), and Eddie Griffin ( right, Malcolm & Eddie, an old sitcom). Watching the film for probably a good 10th time, already knowing the ending, I actually understood everything. Pretty hilarious movie overall.
Some of my favorite quotes:

"No Schlitz Malt Liquor! No Schlitz Malt Liquor! How you supposed to run a successful business, you ain't got no Schlitz Malt Liquor! You ain't representin'! You ain't keepin' it real! "

" I'll roll you like a Philly blunt and smoke your bitch ass! "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just recently, just saw the critically acclaimed The Dark Knight:

First thought, long-ass movie...seriously how much money did that cost....I feel asleep like 5 times......

Second, the joker was well portrayed by Heath Ledger (R.I.P.), man, he was definitely evil...wow...
Third, awesome action scenes, very action packed. Props to whoever did that stuff, man crazy
Overall, mood very dark...kinda don't wanna watch it again, again superass long..but i think everyone should watch it...very good batman movie...

UPCOMING

Madea Goes to Jail

Saw the trailer for this a couple times already. Tyler Perry/ Madea, so I'm looking for some hilarious scenes and crazy sayings...here's the trailer


Notorious

Saw the trailer for this movie when I saw Cadillac Records (beyonce's performance surprising). Anwayz I really wanna see this....I'm thinking I'll definitely learn some stuff about Biggie I didn't know, and probably have respect for him. Also movies based on true life are usually pretty good so yeah.

Welcome to My Blog........

If you are reading this then you have reached my blog.... everything is now tentative (like it wasn't before):
the blog design..and the title...etc...... but this blog will (affirmative, a promise) consist of my thoughts about whatever... They have about 75.6% chance of being random.
Like this picture:
Stay tuned....for stuff....
