Once Upon a time...

there was this guy named Adrian

who had this blog

and he really didn't know what to update about....

and he really didn't want to update...

but he rather update this do his homework

because he was a procrasintator and also very lazy

he'd rather think about doing homework

than actually doing it

because that would take too much work

but as he began to type

thoughts came to his mind about what he could update about

and this is what he wrote:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

The Cleveland Show

it just watched the pilot episode.
it was okay, closer to being on the side of  really terrible.
It wasn't really funny, not really like family guy...
but I give it some slack since it was the pilot episode...
I'll probably watch one more then if it's still terrible I won't care anymore...

but ya know you just don't see cartoons with many black people in it (like most tv shows)
so I have to give it a try.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Classes.....

Suck ass! a literally they are a pain in the butt (like they give me hemorrhoids). I just wish they were over, but the funny thing is....that it is only week 2 (hahahaha). I mean for one, I don't want to wake up and listen to you talk to me about whatever the hell you be talkin' bout ( I mean I don't be listenin). And for B, I don't want to do homework or read anything. Really I don't want to do anything but chill. But that's not possible so I'm just gonna complain about it until it's all over (that means never..)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That's it,
I guess I'm off to do homework (or at least think about doing it).
Until then,

Youtube Mania: Gospelized Version...

Yes, it Sunday! so I'm doing a gospelized version (Even though I listen to gospel music like everyday)..

so this is pretty much the Gospel Choir Edition, featuring mainly the Tommies, also known as the Thompson Community Singers

"Available To You" (Part 1) - Rev. Milton Brunson & The Tho


this is my favorite song of their's. and to hear the background of it makes it even better to me..
this first part had me in tears (for real) within like the first 2 minutes....powerful...

here's the second part

I Worship You
I love this song...the video is different, but kool...ya gotta love Mary Mary...





"Safe In His Arms" - Rev. Milton Brunson & The Thompson Com


Wow, this soloist kilt it! I love this song too....





"For The Good Of Them" - Rev. Milton Brunson & The Thom





Okay, so they have some very good soloists, cuz this chica here is good also......


"Over And Over" - Rev. Milton Brunson & The Thompson 





Good demonstration of that choir song....idk...It's an oldie but it like a song I would expect every choir to know... i guess.


Soul Children of Chicago - The Reason Why We Sing





This kid is good!  Like what?




MISSISSIPPI MASS CHOIR





okay they took it back......awesome to hear this on youtube. I  Loved it when the deacon came out,  that's how they be singing too..


that's it! 


PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

Ummm......

.....so I guess I should update, I've felt like that for a bijillion days, but you kno sometimes I am over-comed with uber-laziness, also known as procrastination, but whatever........

so let's see, 
NU FOOTBALL

we lost (AGAIN) yesterday. We're now 2-2...umm... I'm not sure what's going on, but the 'Cats are disappointing me BIG TIME. They need to get their act together Soon, but of course I still support them whether they win or lose, cuz they're my 'CATS (ahhhhh...).

kool, random thing was Steve Urkel 
(yes, "Did I do that?" Steve Urkel, also known in real life as Jaleel White)  was at the football game, WHY? I have yet to figure that out but I could come up with something....give me a second....okay:

so Mr. White is friends with one of the player's father, they go way back like high school, like they used to pick their noses together and play hopstoch all the time until White landed the Family Matters gig, then they kinda had a falling out, cuz the player's father had no one to pick his nose, and then he almost committed suicide from his devasting booger-filled snout-sniffer, but after Family Matters went off the air, White realized that the father guy  was is only true friend, so to make it up to him he game to the football game to support the Wildcats.

yes that's why he was there....does that sound probable? I think so....

what else did I want to update about?


ummmm
nothing really....I guess.....oh Heroes started again on the 22nd, but that's not blog worthy......
I mean nothing interesting going on (yet) I'm just back at NU, doing all kinds of stuff.....FUN!.....yeap.....

Okay
Random Picture Time! (It's MY FAVORITE!!!!   shut the hell up!)


(omg! this is hilarious...I love how the sister is just looking down at it.......omg! craziness)

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Layout thingy

Yeha so my whole left sidebar thingy has moved to the bottom....
therefore, I'm gonna change it to something simple....so by the time you read this...
it'll be changed (YES CHANGE)

yeha idk....
later
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Classes Started Today

ES!!!!! 
actually no. Not ready for classes, but they're here so I'm gonna deal with it. yeha....that's all i gotta say about classes cuz they are not that interesting..


Though, here's a couple of things I'm looking for to this year:

I'm taking a Tools of the Web class, so this immediately benefits this blog, which is so awesome....
yeha...

John Legend is coming to NU,

 for the president's convocation......well he's gonna be apart of the inauguration concert, I'm so excited for that because I listen to John Legend (I mean he's  totally on my Itunes) , I'm not sure though how good he is live though......I just want him to sing GREEN LIGHT...

also NU is doing Little Shop of Horrors

(which is like one of favorites musicals of all time, after like 5 others ones...but it don't matter). anywayz I'm going to audition for it in Janurary. so EXCITE!

ummm what else can I write about....um.....oh Cats Lost :( (<--- major sad face). but that's okay I'm over it. We're gonna totally come back and beat minnesota this weekend.WHEW! LET's GO 'CATS!



PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

So I've Come to the Realization...

That this school year is gonna be fun, but quite crazy.

I have tons of things to do, in a limited amount of time (imposible?, maybe). Mainly I have big commitments to 3 organizations (and I want to do more).

but I'm up for the challenge. I mean I rather be doing something than doing absolutely nothing at this point (cuz I did nothing all summer).

but like I was saying...this year is gonna be pretty fun, I'm staying with friends & basically I just plan to enjoy myself tons. But it's gonna be crazy cause I'm gonna be doing so much. but that's my goal. Basically when I graduate I want to look back and see that I had tons of fun, but that I also did things to further the community (whatever that means)...but yeha.....

wow sometimes I can get extra-serious...and it scares the living day-lites outta me (who comes up with this expressions anywayz....??) um yeha that's it...

oh about the poll....kool ness...2 people voted........
I'll continue the Youtube Mania's as much as I can though......so..............yeah...

random picture time! (i haven't done this in a long time..)

if you see it  when you first look at it.. then you are amazing. it took me about 5 mins to find it.....

hahahahaha

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

WTF?!

so you probably know about Kanye crazy self at the VMA's &

also Lil Mama. I'm not gonna give my opinion on that foolishness. I'll just say

WTF?!

though here's some funny parody pics of both of their antics.....

(btw RIP Patrick Swayze, I just wanna watch Ghost right now)...

okay this last one is really hilarious.....

another WTF moment. ....

Serena Williams threatening people. WTF?!....control yo tempa woman............

....whoa.....I mean I'm just saying I would never want to have moment in my life where Serena would be screaming at me the way she is in this video....I'm just saying have you seen her....whoa..

okay one more...

First, I hate Ohio State (because it's not Northwestern) so this make this video even more hiliarious. What's sad about this is this is probably the highlight of this tuba player marching career, and dare I say

college career. WTF?! where you really moving that hard that you had to knock on the cameraman seriously.......

that's why Ohio State lost that game....dumbass....hahahah jk...

until next time...

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You"

is one of my favorite songs of all time. It is my favorite Whitney Houston song.

A little history:

This song was originally written by Dolly Parton (Yes big-boobs Dolly, hahahahaha can't believe I said that) in 1973 to Porter Wagoner, who had his own show titled The Porter Wagoner Show (duh). anywayz Dolly appeared on his show, as a kinda co-host. Anyways this was kinda Dolly's goodbye song to Wagnoer (I'm guessing romantically and to their business partnership). Listen to the lyrics you'll understand.

Anyways this song is actually a country song. Which is so apparent in this version:

but ya gotta listen even closer for it in Whitney's version....

oh and here's my interpretation of whitney's version (hahahah hilarity)

aight I'm through....

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Youtube Mania: Africano Boy

So one day while watching random videos this summer, I stumbled on the hilarity that is...

Africano Boy, what attracted me was the name very similar to Afroboiii (ya kno). so I decided to do a whole Youtube Mania to him. he's f'ing hilarious. Trust me.

He reminds me a lot of Chris Tucker (check out some of his standup) & myself oddly.

so just check these out.

1. Brushing Teeth Tutorial 101

he musta smelled some funky breath. but sometimes this is just what you want to tell people..

2. Cooking with AfroKeyshia

this is too hilarious. I would love to see this on the food network one of these days. I would just die.

3. KFC Double Down Heartattack Sandwich

yeha KFC?! what is going on....what happened to sandwiches with bread?

4. Fake Generic Friends

so true....

5. What the HELL!

you gotta what this rinky dink (i love that phrase...i also love the phrase willy-nilly) resturants you just never know.

6. It's LAQUANDA!

hahahahahahhaha. omg!

yes hilarious...

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Dorm Life...

is kool, but in actuality it sucks.

so many limitations not enough freedom.

but I'm not complaining I'm so glad to be outta the Kank.

But I wish it wasn't so cold in the E, wait I meant the D, but that wouldn't make sense at all.....nevermind......

anywayz I'm back in the dormitory. My room is larger than last year, probably cuz it's a total different dorm.

It's pretty kool. I'm looking forward to having a great year (a totally getting trashed every weekend..hahahah jk). I only got two year left (YES) so I mi'es well (that's ebonics for might as well) enjoy 'em.

cuz soon I'll be teaching some bad ass kids how figure out x, and quadratic equations and such (idk)......and def won't be as fun as college life..

oh yeha. NU football, we won against Eastern Michgan (barely, 27-24). WTF? what was going on. I'm hoping and praying the 'Cats come back crazy (and I mean CRAZY!) against Syracuse (whose mascot in an Orange or some shit like that..... see...)

(Wtf is this? a basketball...and any orange that has feet is just weird)

But it's an away game so that makes it difficult. We'll see though.....

ummmmmmmmmmmm

yeha that's about it.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

GO 'CATS BEAT THE EAGLES!

So band camp is officially over. (finally)

it was a tough week, but I made it through (thank God)...

felt really crappy the first couple of days but later felt okay (probably because I got more sleep).

so tomorrow we (by that I mean NU) play Eastern Michigan (btw last week we beat Townson really, really, REALLY, bad...UNDEFEATED BABY!) anywayz...we should win. but what's really special about this is the band is going to be there (including me). it should be exciting for halftime we're doing a Michael Jackson/Motown show, the songs are pretty awesome. The thing is we'll be doing it with a ton of high school musicians.(interesting right?)....

anywayz I'm excited for NUMB's opening game.

hopefully you will be there (or seee it on TV, BTN I believe)

aight that's it.....posts coming later...maybe.......probablly.....

GO 'CATS

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Band Camp Week

Started Today,

Yes! a week filled of Music, and Marching, and that's about it.

5 Long days (more than 12 hours each day) of learning drill and memorizing music.

Should be fun...

The week culminates with a game on Saturday against Eastern Michigan.

It's also gonna be High School Band Day, so there's gonna be tons of high school students there...

Unfortunately there won't be as many college students since class or new student week, hasn't gone into effect.

Should be fun (Said that already).

Posting is still going go on...thanks to scheduled posting...
*Oh, NUMB how I've missed you.*

Youtube Mania: Goseplized Version

*Warning:this post is going to be pretty long*

1. Oh How Precious Is The Name of Jesus - LaShun Pace



Loved this version. I sung this song in my church musical this summer. This is the way I wanted to sing cuz it was the way I remembered..but its all good. I love how they say JESUS (Jeh-us)

2. Ricky Dillard & The Voices of Tabernacle - Look & Live



I love this version of this song too (Ricky Dillard is amazing!). Let's just say they was getting in this video, especially that lady in the black.

3. Kirk Franklin Salute To The Godfather Rev. Timothy Wright


OMG! I loved how Kirk intertwined the different songs. Rev. Wright's death was so tragic, but I didn't know he did all those songs. Really good performance though.

4. The Tommies Reunion - Cleansed By The Blood


The Tommies, also known as the The Thompson Community Singers, came to my church a few years ago, and sung this song. CLEANSED BY THE BLOOD! I WAS MESSED UP! DIRTY!...hahaha

5. Gabriel Hardeman Delegation - Feels Like Fire



I've been hearing this on the radio since forever. Love it, a classic.

6.The Michael Fletcher Chorale - Look & Live



Also a classic. Look at this jheri curl. Never heard this version of it though. All I remembered was my church choir singing it....

7.Deandre Patterson & The Progressive Radio Choir - I Made It



I did not know Deandre Patterson led this song. I love this song btw.

8.This is the Day - Soul Children of Chicago


This song is usually in my head at least once of month. I wished I could've been in a choir like this when I was little....yeha..

9. "The Prayer"- Donnie McClurkin w/ Yolanda Adams



this is another that's always in my head, at least once of month also...love this song..


hope you enjoyed it.

Current Obsession: NU FOOTBALL!

Today, the NU football season will officially began with a 11 am against Townson.

I'm going to be at the game (with the band). Therefore you should too!
If you're not you can always watch it on the BTN, or just head back here to see if we won or not.

We should win this game, but I'm just excited that the season has began.

Oh, this was to say this is going to be my obsession for a long time, basically till the end of the quarter.

GO U! NU!



GO 'CATS BEAT THE TIGERS!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

A Post Chock-ful of Randoms

150 the POST!!!

song of the day:
"Hold On" by Yolanda Adams, heard this last night. "Hold on to your dreams" so inspirational...

======================

"Technotronics"

Every thought there would be a LAPTOP with two full-size screens?!
I didn't. Found it on Raw Feed, which at times can have some interesting technological thingys (yeha) check this out.

I want one of these!

===============================

Super! BB Updation

Last week : Okay so last week Jeff was HOH, he put up Kevin and Natalie as pawns, he also won POV, nominated Russell in place of Kevin. Russell went home.

This week: KEVIN became HOH (YES!). Thought he was going to put up Jordan and Michele but he put up Jeff in Jordan's sted. Michele won HOH, so Jordan and Jeff were against each other. And Jeff went home (guess he's not winning it America) .

FINAL FOUR! : Kevin, Natalie, Michele, and Jordan (will a woman win this season?)

Unfortunately Kevin has "blood" on his hands now. so we'll see what happens.....I want Kevin to win, but at this point I don't really care anymore...

=================================

Movie Rambling : A.I

I watched this a few days ago. Okay I loved this movie up until about the last 30 minutes, it just got too unrealistic. This was almost going to be on favorite movies list (which is pretty long already)...but it's definitely something I would watch again.

Stars Haley Joel Osment, who plays David, a robot type kid (the first of its kind) who basically wants to become a "real boy" (yes like Pinocchio) to gain his "mother's" affection. Osment acting was amazing for however old he was at the time of filming. Also starred Jude Law, who was basically a human, but still robot, vibrator type thingy, like people were having sex with robots!.

It was funny though, cuz at first I was like "I'm not gonna feel bad for this robot, he's not even human", but that movie had me mad at those people what they did to David. So it was good I enjoyed it.

============================

Poll Results

Got 2 yes, and 1 no. But it really didn't matter how you voted cuz I was gonna leave it like this...hahahahahaha....

Got a new poll coming soon, though!

===========================

aight that's it....

End of Summer Self-Evaluation

Seeing as my summer is coming to a close in less than a week (omg!).

I thought it would be interesting to see if I completed any of my summer goals.

Don't remember what goals I'm speaking of? click here (awesome poem here btw)

1. Hanging out of course... (with friends, family,myself, chillin on the couch all day, 'running' (i use that term loosely) outside, smelling the roses)

2. Get my L's (long overdue, like REALLY)

3. Get a job or something that gets me money (& not selling drugs, cuz i tried that last summer and it was terrible..i almost got arrested...... haha jk)

4. Not thinking about school & such until 3 weeks before I leave....

that's my plan(s), probably won't stick to them that much we'll see.. i guess....

well it looks like I accomplished 1 & 4, but not 2& 3 = 50% which is an F, for all you educational people out there. so this makes me a failure right? NO! (i'm trying to make myself feel betta, but its actually true!)

even though this summer basically was like ever other one I've had for the past 20 (or 19?) years,

I did accomplished some things

1. I cooked alot more, which made me feel I'll be alright on my own, like I don't need other people to cook for me.

2. I downloaded tons of songs (including tons of gospel, neo soul, and broadway type), which I am so happy I did.

3. Along with those songs, my love for singing has increased.

4. I've gotten like tons of sermons and such (my pastor is amazing) which therefore has strengthened my relationship with God.

5. Oh, and this blog, I've really, REALLY established it, in my mind as something I'll continue as long as I can (probably till I graduate)...

so as you can see (or read)....my goals were in total 4, but I accomplished 5 unexpected things(5 > 4, which should actually be 7 more so 6.5 > 2 cuz I accomplished 2 of my goals) but you know it was a good summer. I enjoyed myself, and I am so ready to head back to E-town & NU, and I'm bracing myself for this upcoming year & what God has in store for me.

should be interesting....

Time for a Change

I'm a person that loves Change (that's why I voted for Obama, and also the fact that he was black...)
Change can be scary, but it can also be exciting
sometimes Change is bad, sometimes it's rewarding
sometimes Change comes in the form of cents,
other times Change leaves ya broke.

but this morning I woke up and I felt it was time for change.
and I did the most drastic thing I could do to myself:
I cut off all my hair!

okay so I have never done this, nor have I cut off anyone else's hair.
But hey, it is what it is now.
so I guess you could say I'm no longer a Afroboiii (what are the extra two i's for?!)
but I would have to disagree, cuz I'm still black.

it feels weird though to have no hair, but I must admit I like it....
it'll be nice to wake up and go ( not really, but you know).

so yeha.....

and with this post I am officially back from my break. Plenty of posts to come.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!
