One Week Left! 
until I am the big 2-1!!!
ask me if I'm excited, cuz I AM!!!!

I honor of my proximal 21-ness, I decided to watch this film entitled 21.


okay so like the first 30 mins of this movie was really weird. it reminded me too much of college life, like including the math and everything (yeha that was really descriptive). Overall though, this move was pretty kool. I give it a 7/8 outta 10. But then I looked it up on wikipedia (a random habit of mine after watching a new movie) and people totally hated it. It was a good film kept me interesting for about 2 hours, that's pretty hard to do, most of the time.

Also this thanksgiving break, I watched way more sports (there was nothing else on)
like at any sports game, I stopped and watch it for at least a minute.
I watched 2 NU football games (repeats of our wins against Illinois & Wisconsin). Couple of NFL and NBA games. 1 NU women's basketball (did you kno we were 4-0, until that game? also we beat #10 DePaul, when did they get good?). 2 NU Men's basketball (against Norte Dame & Iowa State, both which we won, making us champions in the chicago inviatation challenge thingy, awesome!).

why is this relevant?

Because this is coming from a guy, who has a kid, I distinctly remember this, I believed that all sports were stupid, all you did was kick that ball around back and forth (I think this was because I didn't play any sports). and to imagine myself about 10/11 years later watching basketball and football like all thanksgiving weekend pretty much just weird/impossible.

But I think this entrance into the "sports world", comes from my love of NU football, which all comes from NUMB, interesting how one decision to be in the marching band changed my life completely, although I'm sure any other decision in college would have been just has life changing.

okay that's it...........

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!!!

Thanksgiving

Was pretty awesome. Started with my nucluer familial unit eating in a (un)traditional way:
in the living room, watching a movie @ like 10,11 in the morning.
Pretty awesome.

Then I chilled in the bed (my still fairly new soft FULL sized bed, so much betta than SMQ) watching TV.

Then we headed over to my Grandma's, where like all my family was at,
it was like the scene in Antwone Fisher, movie starring Denzel Washington and Derek Luke, where he's like
"home" and there's all these black people smiling, that exactly what it was like. And I felt really happy inside, cuz that's my family.

Anywayz there was like tons of food (and I'm probably forgetting something) : chicken, turkey, dressing, ham, collard greens, macroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, cabbage, conbread, ribs, potato salad, deviled eggs, chit'lins (ew), and like tons of desserts.

I laughed tons, and everyone just acted a straight fool, and I realized that's where I totally get my humor from, cuz like my whole family acts exactly the way I act, well to a certain extent because I am my own person.

I also just notice myself being alot more observative ( is that a word? ) than usual. It was like my teacher-ness kicking in. Or maybe it was just cuz I hadn't seen my family in a long time.

Anywayz it's been a really good break, I wish I could stay until here January or whatnot. That would be an awesome winter break!...hahaha.
But unfortnately I go to Northwestern University (which  I love SO much.. I mean I'm paying 50 G's to go there....sooo yeha)

yeha that's it.
Updations to come later.... I guess...

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Another-funny-crazy-wtf-thingy-type-delio-of the week!

The Shake Weight for Men



ummmm. really?! this is too funny. Like this is straight outta that episode of South Park, where the gay teacher invents that wheel thingy. WAY TOO HILARIOUS!......

Jennifer Lopez Falls...

1. She's still making music?
2. Is she even relevant now?
3. I decided to post this before I watched the video, I just saw it like everyone on the blogs, so I figured it must be funny. Nope........
4. The fall wasn't even that huge.
5. My problem is...I have no idea what she's saying...Loob-at-tons?! idk...



this photo= wrong, just wrong.





from peopleofwalmart.com, just when ya thought it was safe to go to walmart any kinda way. People please, PLEASE! get your lives together (which means get a FREAKING MIRROR and LOOK at it before you step outside you house, simple) you are embarrassment to all americans!. it don't make no sense that you should be coming outta they house like that.......SERIOUSLY!...

WTF?!



this is blemtious!, people have lost their minds. point blank period.

whoa.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Bowl Bounded 'CATS!

so if ya don't know (which means you musta been living under a rock with Patrick Star <= he's a pink star, craziness!)
'CATS WIN!!!! 33-31 against #16 Wisconsin. The Wildcats have defeated another ranked team.
The 'CATS are now 8-4 and are heading to a good bowl: which means warm.
I'm excited! Bowl Trip should be awesome wherever we're going.
Also the game was the last of the regular season, and what a great finish!
WHEW!

but um other than that, 3 days before thanksgiving break, which means I get to home back to the kank, for a few days at least. get to see my family, and get to eat a whole bunch: this should be pretty fun. I hoping to get relaxed enough to come back a finish these last couple of weeks of the quarter STRONG, then celebrate my 21st BDAY! WHEW!!!!!!!! LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

but um yeah that's about it.
i'm just living........
aight
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!!!

Um so I have nothing else better to do with my life.....

so I'm gonna update...
AND YOUR GONNA LIKE IT YOUNG MAN (or WOMAN or NEITHER if you're that bullfrog that just can't stop reading my posts..........you probably look something like this....


looks like someone needs to take a bath! ewww SMELLY FROG! )

but anywayz......
I'm Chillin' (like Wale)
I actually have nothing to update about, well I guess I kinda do, yeha I totally lied.....

so yesterday, the juniors of the secondary ed program here @ NU, met with the placement people: the MARY's ( and they looked exactly like this  jk)...They told us about the process of being placed for our student teaching. And as I am about most things, I don't care where I get placed, I just want to be somewhere, teaching.

But basically they were saying it's gonna be a long process. And we have to present a packet, and I have to write an essay about why I want to teach. And I'm not so sure why I do, i mean, I like math, and I think I like teaching (yeah it's gonna be a great essay). It's just letting me know that after graduating I'm going right to work, which is not gonna be fun, at first, but I'll know I'll get used to it....

wow that was a lot yet I still managed not to say much.......

oh, the marching/football season is almost OVER! Yes! (and No!). Truthfully, I'll be really happy when marching band is over, then I'll have time to do stuff. Meaning I'll have time to do absolutely nothing. But then football's gonna be over, which I kinda hate, it's SO bittersweet (which is an actually plant/tree thingy,  I didn't know that till I just googled it). But I'll get over it. It'll be exciting to be a "normal" student come winter quarter.

I think that's enough updating of sorts.......
I'll holla at cha later,
and hopefully u'll holla back, and
then will both be two freaking hollering fools,
and then people'll put us in a crazy house,
and then we'll devise a plan to escape,
and we totally get out for a day or two,
but then get caught, after ONE of us ( I won't say who)
runs over a police officer, and we have to go back to crazy house,
and we stay in there for like 70 years, until they realize it was all a big mix-up
and we were just two people hollering at each other,

so ya know what, you might want to holler back at me,
just let me be hollering fool all by my lonesome...
thanks!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

What's up, Peeps!

It's none other than me....
the Master of Space and Time Continuum (wait, isn't that Hiro from Heroes?....)
THE secret Kung-Fu Ninja (shhhhh don't tell anyone, it's a secreet),
representing for all my gangstas that be hustlin' (......ummmm no...)...

another week has gone by and I'm still here at NU, waiting for Thanksgiving, which is
gonna be awesome, cuz I haven't seen my family in forever, and it'll be nice to get some food I love, and by some I mean TONS....but yeha.....

Guess what?! 'CATS WIN! we're now 7-4, which means warm bowl (YES!)..........this weekend we play Wisconsin.........not sure what will happen, but we shall see, as per usual...........

NCE concert went pretty well (Praise God). I definitely enjoyed myself, and the choir know they was getting it.
Thank God I'll be in it next quarter, or I would just be so depressed........well not really, but ya know......

now I'm just rambling with random things that pop into my head. actually I'm not cuz I'm done here........
yeha....
that's it.

Funny-Random-Thingy-of-the-Week-Type-Dealio.

Here's some things I found quite hilarious.

Hope you enjoy 'em too (like a bag of Lays Potato Chips!)

SO APPARENTLY

Martin Lawrence and Jamie Foxx are coming out with a movie

starring Sheneneh (from Martin's hit show Martin) and Foxx's character Wanda from In Living Color.

At the BET awards this summer, the two did a little thingy

watch it.

this is funny. I'm hoping the movie will be hilarious....(be sure to check out some of them related videos on youtube if you haven't heard of these characters before)

btw my favorite Sheneneh catchphrase is "I'm a LAAAY-DAY"........hahahahahah

~~~~~

Sammy Sosa bleaching his Skin?!!!!

WHY?!!! RIDICULOUS! (dude like yo ass look white. seriously....)

like did he not see what happened to michael jackson?.

and then he gon try to lie about it, like about something like that....

 MAYBE you can lie about steroids usage but you can't like about bleaching yo skin

all people gotta do is take a picture of you, dude.....

ridiculous.

~~~~~~~

the Toliet Rap. 



"Sittin' on the Toil-let!"

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Hey......so Wednesdays

YOU SUCK! 
Major Bizalls, and such.............
and by such I mean HUGE, GIGANTICA, MAJOR BIZALLS......

yeap. but now that I'm past that, let's move on.

A funny thing about Wed-nes-days is they are like my busiest day of the week,
but they are like the only time I have to update my blog during the week at least.
Weird, huh? (you probably really don't care so whatev).

so just to let you know,
there's a concert this sunday, by the one and only
NCE (Northwestern Community Ensemble), NU's only gospel choir.....

yeha here's the flyer

(dude I can't help it I'm publicity chair, i just have to publicize everywhere basically)

Yeah so that's this weekend.
~~~~~~
Also this weekend. NUMB is traveling to the UofI's to support the wildcats as they fight (in football) against the illini.
should be exciting, especially if we win, cuz that would be major good for our bowl possibilities.
so we'll see.

*fyi I freaking hate champaign (it should be spelled champagne),  UofI, the illini, the color orange, and dare I say indians ( and by indians I mean native american)............*

~~~~
oh on sunday, I saw Precious



starring this chicka



(her name is Gabourey 'Gabby' Sidibe)

Monique, Paula Patton, and Mariah Carey,

pretty much it's about a 16,17 year old girl (woman?) who's life is basically jacked up on so many levels (I'm FO serious).
I Can't really type all that stuff here, cuz then I start thinking it & about her sit-eee-ation and I just like lose it (and by lose it I mean cry like a big fat babby).

I think people should def see it, it opens your eyes to the possibility that people actually have lives like these, and it seriously makes me Thank God that my life is not like that AT ALL....

um yeha funnier post thingy coming later........

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Homesick.

I am Homesick. And I don't like it.
Ya kno, you would think I would stop being homesick by my junior year, but no, I'm not.
I think this is pretty usual for me though. Like I haven't my family in such a long time, and I only talk to them occassionally. Yeha I just can't wait till Thanksgiving, I'm definitely looking forward to more than the food this time.


BUT, HOW 'BOUT THEM 'CATS, Y'ALL?!
WON 17-10 to an undefeated #4 IOWA!
Pretty much awesome-ness. Really kinda upset that I did not go, but it's alright.
Still a great win...
We are now 6-4, which means bowl eligibility, we need to win next weekend against Illinois,
which I'll be at with the band. And it'll be my 5th time going to this stadium (whatever it's name is....)
so not that excited about that, AT all.....



Just watched the Terminal,



starring Tom Hanks (his son btw goes to Northwestern now...) as a foreign guy from some country (Krakozhia, fictional place btw), so basically he's just stuck in an airport, literally. I won't give away the movie, but um....
It's was an alright movie. Probably Definitely wouldn't watch it again. Yeap.

so by updating, (and publishing these here words) I am procrastinating, I really need to be working on
my CS class. I'm like so behind in that, but I'm just seriously tired of the thought of classes.....uhhhhhhh

but anywayz.
I'll Holla!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Hey My Name Is Not Susan.

Seriously it's not. So don't call me that. Ever! (or I'll punch you in the liver)

Actually the title's a name of  a song by the one and only Whitney Houston.
watch this video, it's got Whitney dancing ( I see some New Edition moves in there!)



Probably the worst Whitney song ever! If you can find worst-er one let me know.

-------------------
here's a funny thing I found.

Purple Streakers

on the NU campus. Apparently they do this all the time, but I've never seen them in my 2 years of being here, guess it's a frat thing, which would explain why I've never seen it.
I would love to do this personally, at least once in my life, i meant streak in general, not to be a purple streaker.

----------------..

oh and did you happen to hear about the toddler that got stuck in a CTA door, but then fell on the track?
(wait why am I asking you questions? wait that's another question.)

read the article about it here. 

I mean I have so many jokes about the CTA, I should start my own comedy routine on it. SERIOUSLY!
(like about the fact I don't get a U-pass even though I live 15 miles from Chicago, what the CTA would be like if I was a CTA train operator, random stories about random people I've met on CTA. you kno, maybe I'll take that up one day)

BUT Like I don't want to ride the CTA for real now. First you raise the fare to 3 bucks, and my safety is not f'ing secure!
Bull crap! SERIOUSLY I'm not about to spend 6 dollars when I could totally get stuck in a door and DIE!. and then I saw on the news they asked a CTA official guy about the doors, he said he couldn't answer questions about the CTA doors closing properly. whaaa?

 I mean I'm just gonna stop riding the CTA all together (like that's ever gonna happen)

ooo I haven't done this in awhile...
Random Picture Time!!!



this reminds me off that Madea quote "How do you have a butt in the back and the front?" 
nevermind the random oompa loompas. if you're looking for some random photos though,
Please check out Explainthisimage.com, I just laughed my butt off looking at the pictures on the site.

okay that's it for real.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Blackface.

 IS NOT COOL. for any reason. people find it offensive. so you shouldn't do it.

If you haven't heard two NU students dressed up in blackface for Halloween, or should I say as black people, not sure of their intention, but it definitely came off as blackface.

I don't think they should have done it. I would like assume that those gentlemen didn't know about the history of blackface, and maybe that's why they felt it was alright. I would hope that it wasn't supposed to be a stereotype of black people. But this just demonstrates the  lack of awareness people have about race on the NU campus.

I myself am not that upset at the incident. I just hope people know that blackface not cool. And I expected people, especially the black community, to get upset about something like this. I think it was kinda stupid for them to post the pictures on the facebook. but hey.

there's supposed to be a discussion of the blackface tomorrow, educating people about it. I myself didn't know that much about it. If you want info now you can check wikipedia, as I did.

yes this was a serious post. I will do that from time to time.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Instead of Studying for my midterm

I've found it a must-updation about this music jewel (it's my precious) I found.............
I may straight listen to this chick for 2 weeks. She's sick, in many ways unimaginable.....
don't know who I'm talking about?

I'm talking about Ledisi

If you like neo soul or  R&B seriously you should love her. She's definitely alot more jazzy, but she's
one of the few people whose every song I'm just like AMAZING. Please just go to imeem and type in Ledisi, and hit play or something......

Like usually when I'm studying, which I was, I try to play Neo-Soul music, it calms me down when I thinking about all this crazy numbers stuff, but this woman does some crazy things with her voice: the harmonies, the rythm, i mean her scatting, her expressitivity (??) craz,. That i just couldn't concentrate on my studies w/o being like "wait that lick/run was so sick!"

Like I heard of her before, but I never really looked into any of her music, really mad I hadn't earlier.
Like seriously she is a music jewel that has just been added to my favorite music list and will be continually on repeat for Lord knows how long.

Yeah just wanted to share this with you, cuz I can!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Time Keeps on Slippin Into the Future

well, DUH stupid! 
everyone knows that.
Here's the video, the song's actually called Fly Like An Eagle





 (this is the Seal (Heidi Klum's husband) version that I remember from Space Jam for some reason)

but seriously Time Keeps on Slipping into the Future, seeing as how it's already November 1st! CRAZINESS!!!!
I feel like it was just September (well it was...kinda). this quarter gonna be over soon AND I'm gonna be 21 really soon 35 days (COMMENCE COUNTDOWN!)............

yeha dude I'm gonna be so freaking old, but that alright, it's life.

sooo the 'CATS lost to Penn State :-(. I mean everyone kinda expected it, but I was praying for an upset. We were getting there in the first half, then Kafka randomly left the game (apparently from a hamstring injury thingy) and he didnt return to the game, leaving Persa, the second-string quarterback, to try to keep the momentum going. FAIL. but that's alright. We still got another chance for an uspet against Iowa next week, who is currently 9-0, and us beating them would be major awesomeness.

not much else is going on. I'm trying to coordinate/do this NCE publicity, it's like all I've been really thinking about. and I have a midterm on tuesday, that I'm not studying for right now........
but everything's gonna be alright.......

sometimes ya gotta just keep telling yourself that , even if it won't, you gotta believe that, or your gonna be stressed about crazy stuff. there's no need to worry, like seriously things work out. not always like ya think, but they will. yeha i kno right i'm SO FREAKING deep..........

i'm gonna get back to my procrastination
that's it
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!
