Let's just say...

that I'm kinda angry/ frustrated.......WTF people?! 
stupid people..........who gave you the right to say that?..uhhhhhh.....
yeha....
I mean I could really rant...but ya know I'm not about putting down people or what not....
so let's just move on.......

My friend Amy sent me this song through imeem, definitely heard it back when I was a child...
pretty awesome song. I just love me some MJ (R.I.P.)
It's called EARTH SONG, again not sure what he's talking about in the song but music and background
are just amazing.
Also heard that his This is it! Movie 
is really good. Definitely have to see that.

oh some random again. I been playing Zelda 
(for Nintendo 64....yeah old school) for like the past couple weeks at my friend's Apartment.

It's been really fun. The game came out like 11 years ago, but this is not a game I would want to play as a 9 or 10 year old. For one, it would have taken me forever to figure out what to do. And I would probably had crapped my pants a billijion times. Cuz playing it now I'm like the most scared-est (???) person ever. It's actually really funny though. And I still can't figure out what to do so we just usually go online and read the walkthrough. Idk why I felt like updating about that...cuz it's uber-random.but whatevs..

um yeha let's end it there....

it's almost the WEEKEND! (whew!)

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

What it is hoe? What's Up?

I never actually listened to this song before, neither in its entirety nor to the words,  it's so bad: Lil' Scrappy "Some Cut" 
check the video/song here
i mean just check out the chorus: 


What it is hoe, ah what's up (what's up)
Can a nigga get in them guts (them guts)
Cut you up like you ain't been cut (been cut)
Show your ass how to really catch a nut (oh yeah yeah)
Well give me your number and I'll call (I'll call)
And I'll follow that ass in the mall (in the mall)
Take you home, let you juggle my balls (my balls)
While I'm beatin and tearin down your walls (oh yeah)



(I don't know I find it extremely funny that he says "juggle my balls", the visual of that is so funny...sorry)


This is not what this post is supposed to be about. 
Actually I'm not very sure what it's supposed to be about. 
Let's see what's going in my life?
I could tell you about my long ass day today (SURE WHY NOT?!) 


1. wake up at 7:00 (stupid alarm clock)
2. go to work at 8:00
3. stay at work until 10:45, dealing with crazy people
4. go to first class, def don't pay attention. 
5. hungry I go eat lunch
6. go to second class, def don't pay attention, so tired from 1 that I fall asleep in class. 
7. go to dorm take a nap until 3:30 
8. go to NUMB rehearsal 
9. go to work meeting @ 6:30 
10. after quick stop by dorm, go to CVS to buy soap
11. walk to library to do flyers for NCE
12. go to late night 9:15
13. finally return to dorm, where I continue working for NCE, then finally update blog. 


As you can see it was a very busy day, and I am officially tired. so probably after this going to sleep. 


Looking forward to the weekend, as always, 'CATS take on Penn State @ 3:30 (LOVE AFTERNOON GAMES!)
It's also gonna be Halloween, which means partying, and yeha, that's it. 


Should be fun. 
that's it. 
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Youtube Mania

Yes it continues forever and ever and ever....or until I get tired of posting videos...

The Facebook Date



This was actually really funny for some odd reason. I think maybe it was his African accent. It was good though. oh and I like the little intro/exit music "Dont Jealous me" (what does that mean?)


Single Ladies Spoof/ All My Playas



The P. Diddy thing was funny. The song was kinda bad, but why did he have a cat? that's funny.


Math It's totally Fantastic



okay this video was just weird. I totally saw all the humor in it, but it didn't make me laugh. I can't believe I watched the whole thing...


I've discovered something amazing again




Doesn't it seem like this dude has a fetish for receipt paper? I mean by the end, it def clear. And that would totally make sense why anyone would find receipt paper Amazing, cuz I don't.

Grocery store Musical



If only life could be like this 24/7, but then we'd all probably be really hoarse and tired from all the dancing. it's from the people who did the Food Court Musical, def not as epic btw, but it's pretty good. I was waiting for everyone in the entire store to bust out a number.


that's it.

What a Weekend! What a Weekend...

now that's it all over. I must say I had a pretty good weekend.

'CATS WIN! 
they had the greatest comeback score-wise in NU history, but it doesn't help that it was from Indiana,
nevertheless good game. You can watch highlights here. Good homecoming game. Big Game coming next week against Penn State! Should be exciting..

Also, I swear I saw this guy at the game:

his name is John Marshall Jones

He played the dad on Smart Guy, a show from awhile back ago, reruns still come on BET i think. I didn't make a big deal about cuz I didn't think it was him, but then I went to http://www.johnmarshalljones.com/ and saw that he did go to Northwestern, which  brings me to the conclusion that it was him.

This is crazy cuz he's like the third Black tv person I've seen at NU (steve urkel, and the light-skinned Aunt vivian being the other, all at football games oddly enough, craziness right? )

everything actually worked out in the Marching Band, i didn't think our drill would be so hot,
but as you can see here:



we did some pretty awesome drill. FINEST BAND IN THE LAND, baby, babyyy!

AND did I happen to mention that totally got wasted 2 nights in a row? yeha I was gone.
but it was fun.

i guess the most memorable quote of the weekend "This is a big ass circle" (like it was literally huge, man, like for real)...yeha college life...FUN!

um what else did I want to update about?....nothing..now that I think about it.......

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Midterms.....SMIDTERMS!

SONG of the DAY: (i hit random on Itunes). The Love You Save by the Jackson Five.

so I should probably be studying for my midterm that's on friday...
but I'm not...I'm writing this post (clearly!)....

but this is around the time of the quarter that I anticipated/dreaded,
business 24/7. Everything is kinda overlapping, and so many things must get done:  classes,
band, work, sleep, organizations, homework, eating. Yes, eating.

but ya know this is the college life, specifically the Northwestern life, we are all running around
doing 50 bijillion different things, mainly because we're CRAZY. I'm taking it all in though,
cuz before ya know it college is over, you got a REAL job, and your life is over, and all you do is reminisce on the days of college life when you had so much freedom (well, sort of).

I'm taking it all in though, esp this season, I love fall,
1154833112559_Autumn_sInvitationII2476FlAd001.jpg (682×850)
AND when I think of fall I just feel like automatically relaxed, it's a fresh of breath air  i mean a breath of fresh air, I think that has something do with the leaves blowing in the wind........{blah blah blah, what I love about fall....blah blah blah}.......

this weekend is exciting though, the 'Cats face off the Indiana Hoosiers (what the HELL is a Hoosier?)


[picture goes here: I googled Hoosier{s} and the result was inconclusive.
 If Google doesn't know, who does?].

they are 4-3 like us. And of course it's homecoming. I'm banking on all these factors, and considering we lost to them last year, that we should win.  I'm excited, but it's gonna be a long weekend.

yeha that's about it,
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Gospel Video Youtube Mania

man, I should seriously stop watching youtube videos,
but there's so many.... so I continue to watch...
check out this gospel videos....

Hold to God's Unchanging Hand - James Hall & Worship And Praise

Their staccato in this old hymnal favorite is stellar (<--- ooo big word...??). and that soprano "to-oo" is so kool. I love choirs though, for real. And this choir is pretty good.





Keep Holding to His Hand - Duranice Pace & Central Georgia State Choir



The Directors Face in the beginning: PRICELESS! The lead singer is crazy too, love her, I mean the way she was looking can't get that from audio only, that's why video is amazing. And her testimony was really touching! And the bass, it was really makes this song.....


I Won't Give Up-  Ricky Dillard and New G




Wait? What! Ricky Dillard actually singing and leading a song?. Dude can actually sing. Maybe he doesn't sing anymore, cuz this looks like a young Ricky Dillard. Love this choir btw.


Keep On Praisin' -Fred Hammond



Seriously one of my favorite Fred Hammond songs (speaking of which I didn't get that new album)....it was nice to see this live and on video.


He is not Just a Man-Fred Hammond




Whoa, tons of people singing. Love this song alot too. Great Worship. That's why ya gotta love Fred Hammond.

Alright that's it.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

FRIENDS, (How many of us have them??)

Answer: I would assume that everyone does, but then there's this guy



yeha
seriously during my little BUTT-tastrophe, friends were there.
and they are so awesome for that.
*so if your one of those friends reading this you are awesome, just so you know.
and if I happen to win/earn a million dollars one day, you'll get some. most def.

this post also reminds me of a song we used to play in high school band at the for graduation
every year:
"That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne Warwick.



That's what friends are for.... to help you when your butt hurts! (btw the black star power in that video is amazing, I've never seen them for sing together in my life...really kool to see)

Thanks guys.

Since I've been Bed-Ridden

basically been watching some things...

I watched
Dr. Horrible Sing-Along blog

on Hulu, watch it here



recommended by my friend Kira (she's great, like Frosted Flakes!...idk)

one of those good musical things I've seen in awhile .
Neil Patrick Harris can actually sing though, I was very surprised.
And it defintely had some funny parts, especially the joke "by hammer I mean my penis".
I enjoyed it.

I watched Marvin Sapp's

Here I Am
live recording of his new album,
stated to be released all the way in Feb 2010.
I'm wondering if I should be pre-order it.....
Oh, I knew about it thanks to Gospel Pundit.

sounded like some pretty good songs,
one song that was really good, BEST IN ME,
basically it was just saying God saw the best in me, even when everyone saw the worst in me.

and the chat they had, was going off, like the entire time.
I guess people our just excited as I am about his new album.

yeha that's it
this is more of a music post I guess...

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Pilonidal Cyst: literally a pain in the BUTT!

*WARNING THIS MAY CONTAIN GRAPHIC (i.e. NASTY) LANGUAGE THAT MAY RENDER NOT SO GOOD THOUGHT, IMAGES, AND/OR SENSATIONS*


Somehow I ended up with this "illness" called a pilonidal cyst,
basically a abscess formed betwixt my butt cheeks toward the lower end of my back.

This thing got infected (which caused me great pain for about 2 days)
this caused me to have fever,
which then caused me to go the ER, and have a little cut cut.
and now I am bed-ridden for the weekend basically (maybe not totally).

Anywayz I could go into describing what they did in the surgery, but.....
wait I will,....okay so they cut me, and put this packing (no not packing peanuts,  but gauze type stuff)
where the pus came out, and this packing hurt like a mo' fo when they put it in (almost in tears).

But all is better now......
just letting you know if so happen to get a bump back there,
Take preventive measures.....not sure what they are or else I wouldn't gotten it myself.
hahahahahha

this post is SO AWKWARD
(and I just made it awkward by saying it's awkward, yes I love that!)

Youtube Mania

I think I should totally stop watching youtube videos, 
but that'll never happen as long as they exist.

But here's some I found rather hilarious/interesting. 
Hope you do too! 



Yes, Please don't scare black people, cuz they will kill you punch you in the face.


I watched this, and it just made me want to watch this movie. This is one of my favorite Disney movies of 
all time, besides all the usual (Lion King..). Oh, the actual person singing is '90s R&B singer, Tevin Campbell. 


This was really kool. I think though I would still take the escalators. I mean, I really like escalators. When I get my money, I'm gon have them instead of stairs in my house. 
 

My Friend, Sean, showed me this video. Quite hilarious. btw Loved the random black lady!

aight that's it. 
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

I Know You're Wondering..

DUDE!
how did your weekend go?
well here's the scoop, the short version, cuz I'm trying to go to sleep REALLY soon...

John Legend concert,
was amazing! Dude can actually sing, well I knew that...., it was a really great concert.
It was all worth it in the end, "running" to my dorm in 12 mins (a new record I tell ya),
changing clothes quickly, waiting at the arch for 30 mins for a bus, all worth it.
here's some photos I took









(the last one here is Vaughn Anthony, John's brother)

(btw I was in the second row (thanks God for friends!))

At this concert, I realized that actually my favorite John Legend song is Everybody Knows, which is currently on repeat in my head....


And 
'CATS WIN! We are now 4-2 as we go face Michigan State this weekend. It's an away game, which means another two weeks without a football game : (. Which I have to admit (and I don't mind doing so) was very fun. I really enjoyed myself, I hadn't laughed so much in a long time. yeha....

It was actually a pretty good weekend...
but when I wake up tomorrow it's gonna be monday (even though it's already Monday).
God knows how much I hate mondays!

Anywayz
Hopefully this week I'll get some

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

P to the R to the O to the....oh I finish the rest later....

yes,
third week of school...
but finally I have free time (Thank the Lord, like I'm serious)
but um...this is an updation....about what?, I don't know
but that doesn't really matter cuz I'm not doing homework at this moment..

therefore this inquires me to ask myself "Self, what's really goings on?"
"well gotta couple of things to look forward to this weekend: ".

John Legend concert (Gotta get myself excited about that..I don't think it has hit me yet)
I know he's gonna sing my favorite song beside Ordinary People, Green Light ft. Andre 3000
check out the video.
(wouldn't it be crazy, if Andre 3000 randomly showed up?)

also heard his brother, Vaughn Anthony (shouldn't it be Anthony Vaughn??), is gonna to open for him, and I've heard one his songs randomly off of some black gossip site (theybf, i believe) and he sound exactly like John Legend....so.....we'll see....

Football Game (Kinda excited about this, esp. after coming off the win against Purdon't)

it's against Miami (OH). 11 am kickoff, and I will be wide-awake (or at least mildly) to see the 'Cats lead us to victory.

besides the weekend stuff,
yesterday, I went to HOTR, the black christian group on campus, and I really enjoyed myself. I was very apprehensive (oooo big word) about going cuz  usually it's really long. But as it has seems lately every time I go to church or some religious thing I always feel like everything is directed right at me. Thing last night,  it just really inspired to keep goin and keep pressing through THROUGH God's mercy and love. but yeha..

which reminds me, songs of the day: "I Yield My All to Thee" & "Everybody Praise the Lord" songs by O'landa Draper & Associates , of which I posted videos of in a previous post. Also found out that Draper died in like 1998 from kidney failure, and that's sad. but yeha.....

I guess that's it.....
guess I'll get to some H to the O to the M to the E to the..........you know the rest....

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

I Totally Wanted to Update Tonight...

but the problem is I have no time & I'm really tired..
so you get nothing.

(EVIL LAUGH)


PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

More Gospel Videos....

wanted to post this earlier, but I was "busy working"......
anywayz enjoy and such...


Dr. Mattie Moss Clark - How Majestic Is Thy Name




For some reason I really, really love this video, this song in particular just captured me, and as a result I do what I do with songs that I really really love...look at as many different videos of it as I can.

This one though was really quite funny the more I watched it, all though that was not the point of it. For 1) What is she saying in the beginning? 2) Why do they all look dead tired?. Anyways, I loved the arrangement of this song, and that organ, which is supposedly Twinkie Clark, is amazing.


indiana State Mass Choir - How Majestic Is Your Name


This is like a fast-paced, jazzed version of the first arrangment ( You know how at the end of Sister Act 2, they had like the choral version and then the choir version of Joyful, Joyful ). Very similar to that. I still kinda don't get this wax on-wax off clap, I can't exactly do it.


How majestic is your name STBNB choir



And this one is in an entirely different language! I'm guessing this is spanish, but then again what do I know about foreign languages? Also, This is alot more prettiful  ( I know that's not a word, but whatever)...


TWIN SENSATION LITTLE BOYS SINGING


this little boys are amazing! not sure what song they were singing, but I couldn't sing like that when I was 7, 10, or probably even 15. They got some talent, wow what a blessing.


Olanda Draper & The Associates - Praise the Lord Everybody





A song/video like this reminds me why I really love Gospel choirs. Like people just singing together, and like happy, great sounds/harmonies, synchronized clapping. I mean it's just awesome. I mean in this video, no one looks like they don't wanna be there..oh & the director makes some funny/crazy faces!


I Yield My All To Thee - O'Landa Draper & The Associates

Same choir, I really loved this song, never heard it before though. I really like their robes also. That ending is hot! Say I yield it! Yes, Lord.

Everyday Is A Day of Thanksgiving - Dr. Charles G. Hayes and The Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ooK66xOpZg
everyday is truly a day of thanksgiving. cuz his mercies are new every morning. anyways this is a old time classic. my home church choir's been singing this song since forever. (btw I thought the lyrics were " he open the door", but "he open my eyes" makes more sense). And I've never heard this ending before.


Trio - Cosmopolitan Church


this three guys kilt it! especially the guy WAY UP there! My church choir sung this song a while back, and I did too. I still don't know what this song is called, and I'm very sure it's not Trio. I was just really excited to find the original version of this song. Wouldn't have guessed it would be 3 guys. 



okay that's it. 
as you can see I probably need to stop watching youtube videos and get back to my homework....but I don't if that will happen anytime soon, considering to do some homework I have to be on the computer..
so until next time,


PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

'CATS WIN!!!

YESSSS!!!!

The 'Cats came down from a surprising and devastating 21-3 score to comeback and beat the Purduedon't Boilermakers 27-21, making it their first Big Ten win of the season. We are now 3-2. Things are looking up. Hopefully we can keep this up next week against Miami (OH), we will. I'm just really exciting we don won the game ya'll.

Yes....

Other things:

HAHAHA! Chicago didn't get the 2016 Olympics. Dang Oprah, guess you don't have as much pull as ya thought, right it's because your black.....this means the whole world is racist or something like that...I haven't figured that out exactly...but this video is funny...


hahaha....

My life is turning into a mixture of classes, band, work, and sleep. this equals NOT fun. What's even more terrible is that this is probably not gonna change anytime soon, it's pretty much my whole quarter.
but ya kno what? it's fine. It's my life as a college student.

that's all for now.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

The Procrastination Continues........

so one again instead of doing homework
i'm once again writing on this here blog
to tell ya somethings that is (are) on my minds.....


yo, yo, check it out!  
fo reals tho! 


2016 Olympics





will be revealed tomorrow @ 11:55 am. Will Chicago go get it? The whole world or at least my whole world will be tip toeing (who says that?) with anticipation.  I don't want them/us to get cuz it'll change so much stuff that we know about Chicago. But ya know when ya got the President & Oprah (what is up with this chick, it's like dang Oprah got mad power yo!) backing you up we are bound to get it. If we don't, I'm pulling the race card ( And yes I actually I have a standard 52 card deck, with all the races in the world..) because I can. we'll see. 


Marching Band Tuba Tumble 


remember when I posted that video about the Ohio State Tuba player knocking out that cameraman?.Well, here's an even funnier one and it comes from the one and only Northwestern University Marching Band (Go 'Cats!....????). (Goodness around the 1:10 mark, but you should probably watch the build up)





Top that Ohio State! We had two Tubas involved. This is particular funny to me because I had no idea that this had happened while I was marching this. It's one of the funniest things ever. This will go down in the history books




So this is the portion of the blog where I wanted to write something really insightful....but I don't feel like so I won't and I'll save that for another post or probably not. 
yeah
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Yeha! More Youtube Vids!

I have nothing else better to do with my time but watch videos,
then make u watch them by posting them here!
so watch 'em!


White people and the N word...




I love  Haterazzi. and the Dark Hater, he just hates everyone, it's quite hilarious. but he brings up some good points about the N word. Now that white people are using it (well they've been using it, but in this way i guess), there's no way to get rid of it....ever!


Lil' Pooey Poo: I will run from you!



Someone please tell me why this was so hilarious. So yeha it's disgusting...but when people start pooping all over the place it's just really hilarious (well not in real life, cuz that just smells...but in cartoon form it quite hilarious)..


I'm A Scat Man






see look white people are funny! I don't know this I found this funny it just entertain me. (btw  in some black peoples' mind this is how all white people act)....



Off The Pill - Farts






so basically, don't hold in ur farts, cuz I sure won't. I mean when ya gotta let one go, just let it go. You can't hold on to stuff like that......

yeah that's it.
I hoped u laughed...
if ya didn't I'm sorry, that mean you probably have a stone cold flesh eating heart (wait then how are you alive?)....

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!
