hola, como estas?

my name is Adrian.
and this is my blog. nice to meet you, whoever you are.

i like nachos. and this is why...see sometimes it's the mystery of finding that perfect chip
with the right amount of cheese on it (or jalpenos or ground beef or salsa or pepperoni or peppermint or enchilada, whatever you like on your nachos). it's like one of the greatest adventures of life. really. believe me.
or don't. I don't care.

this is stupid. Mucho. Bueno. Santo Crango (okay now i'm making up words).

anyhoos

one time I was walking. no, I was ice-skating. no matter of fact I was flying. yes, flying, like a bird. nah, like a plane. no actually it was like superman( I had a big S on my chest and e'erythang). and I saw this ant on the ground. this really really really small ant.  I don't know how I was able to see it. I musta had on those 'super' vision goggles I stole that one time at that one place that I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about. (oops)

and i flew all the way down from up in the sky ( I was like a milion miles up in the air, ya'll). I met up with the ant and we talked, about corn and lollipops and aprons.  the conversation went on and on, I wasn't sure how long we were talking, but eventually the ant, who liked to be called Chester, had to get back to helping all the other ants do something important, i think it was like collecting bunnies or gold coins or something...

but after I got done talking to that ant, I was kind of sad,  because I had no one to talk to. so I proceeded to fly again. and so I flew until I wanted to fly no more. and that's what happen on my way to the bank today.....

ohhhhh, you don't understand do you? I don't understand either. but that's okay. sometimes that how the world does ya. for real. Ask O.J. Simpson or Jessica Simpson or Homer Simpson, they know. Cuz nobody really likes those simpsons.....ewwww

um so that's about it.
I hope you enjoys.
I hope to see you soon.
I hope you don't get eaten by a racoon (those things are dangerous)
and blah blah blah. ha/ha/ha/

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Blog-a-versary : Whew!

Since today is my blog-a-versary and almost 2011, I present some of my favorite quotes from 

some of my favorites posts in 2010. 

I guess I'll make this chrono-ma-logical....

January 10, 2010 A Day of Change  - I talk about change:  

"how one minute you can be one way, and then the next something crazy can happen which will turn your life upside down.or how you can feel one way for a long time, but then feel the opposite outta the blue."


 January 26, 2010 Walking - Yeah this gets real deep. About walking:
 

"I began notice that other people around me were walking to places, also. And I started to think about people in the world who were walking also. And I started to think about how maybe some people were walking long distances or even short distances, or some people were walking trying to find food or water, others walking because they were lost and had no clue where they were going."

 February 10, 2010  Stereotypes Omg I was real serious about stuff. Love it:

"But I do know I will forever be a black man.and I have to realize I'm different, I'm gonna be viewed as different, different things are going to be expected of me just because I'm a black male. and that will affect all aspects of my life. and it's something I gotta deal with.......FOREVER..."

 February 11, 2010 Decisions. I find this post still relevant today, because I still having to make tough decisions about life:

"so this I pray
until my dying-day,
Lord, Please help me make a decision,
about anything, show me what I am to do.
Cuz I really have no clue,
and you know what's best for me,
and you know what lies ahead for me."

March 24, 2010 A Day at the Dentist. People talking to me at the dentist office. I do not like.

"the first person, a woman, was talking on her phone all loud and stuff (i ain't wanna hear that),
and then she got off and was like "I don't like when people talk on their cellphones all loud..blah blah blah.. sorry..yada yada"
"B!%^#, I don't know your life!"   "

April 14, 2010 Woke up this morning.  This is funny, I still feel the same way about school.

"but i actually I woke up this morning,
and my first thought,
I quit [school].
I really freakin hate school, despise classes and  its evil step-daughter work.
If school was a person I would literally stab it in the heart a million times, watch it die slowly......
and then laugh hysterically ......yes....."

 May 9, 2010 Get's no love from me. Poem to/about my this blog. Greatness.

"Wow, blog!
you get's not love from me.
i've been spending time with other blogs
watching movies, youtube, and glee
but blog you get no love from me.

I remember when  I first began you
I had so much to say
I wanted to let the world know everything
sometimes I posted three times a day

But as time went on
and homework, school began
i had other things to do
writing a post in the plan ......."



June 6, 2010 Simply Updating. Career Backup Plans. Enough said.

Career Backup Plans
1. my elaborate plan to move to the U.K. for 10yrs gain a British accent, come back to the states open up a bar and D.J.
2. CTA bus/train driver
3. Backup Dancer
4. Run for Vice President w/ Kira (La)Frank for Prez.

Sept 29, 2010 Definitely should update now. Post on crack. or maybe I was on crack. Who knows?

"but this is why I like to have a blog because sometimes I can be serious and sometimes I can be completely way outta on left field not paying attention to the person at bat, cuz I was trying to get some peanuts and cracker jacks, but all the peanuts were salty when I don't even like salty peanuts and I just didn't want them and the guy was arguing with me, "how could you not like salty peanuts, what are you, not American?!" and I said actually I'm Asian. (wait, I think my analogy got lost somewhere). "

Yeah. Hope you enjoys.
Peace & Chicken Grease!

It's almost the end of the 2010

which means my blog-versary has either passed or is approaching.
(after getting over my initial laziness and looking it up, it's December 17th,  sooo I'll be posting something on that day probably)
either way I can't believe I stayed with this thing this long,
If I believe this is gonna be year 3. Wow.

Like so much has changed since I was a sophomore,
I was at a totally different place, totally different frame of mind.
It also makes me feel so old. I mean I have been 22 for 8 days,
I don't know if that means I have experience or anything (it doesn't).

But this blog meant something totally different to me then, than it does now. 
And I don't update as often as I used to,
I mean who has time when your as busy as I,
But when I started, it was just something to do, something to be random with, to have fun with,
and just try to be kool, i guess?
But now I use it more of as a place of reflection. It's where/when I can think about significant moments in my life, and it's really kool...i guess?

As i develop into this full adulthood mode, I'll try to keep this up.
Maybe, I'm not keeping any promises...

!#$^#$^$%*&^%(&&%$$@$#$#%$$%)(%&^^%$!#@#$245 (<--- decode the 'secret' message)
[now searching for something to talk about]

Thinking about one of the first topics I talked about on this blog, snow (here),
it's back. and it's cold. I pretty much think my sentiment about this white stuff (hahaha white stuff)
remains the same as it does in this post. Also I think its really funny.....the post that is not the snow....

Here's a random picture.

And if you haven't send Propecia the CrackHo (i don't why this is one word) you oughta!

I would be the exact same way if I was a crack hoe. But unfortunately I am not. :-(

Yeah now that's about it.
I'm on Winter Break so I might update a lil more than usual.
But as I said before  I make no promises, Mister!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

hello World

this is ya boy,
the one that brings ya joy
when ya all shy and coy,
sippin on a sauce called soy

lately i've been feeling like rhymin
ya know that slick poetry
and since school had me overtimin
time just wasn't free

but at home in my comfy bed
chillin at half an hour to midnight
i thought i would break off some creative bread
and to the world i'd write

somethin real kool
somethin that would make ya drool
somethin that have ya lookin like a fool
sans pants on the ground, i'm not that cruel

so i hope you listen, I hope you like
so I hope I to inspire, make ya fly like mike
with my simple words, spitting from my lips
dripping down my arms to my fingertips

see, sometimes I try to see but I'm blind
and sometimes I try to speak but I'm a mime
and sometimes I try to touch but I can't reach
and sometimes I try to taste but there's no peach-

PIE that jilll made, so all i can do
is listen with my ears of two
and trust, hold on like glue,
when actually I have no clue.

Like I don't know how to play that game,
Literally I've never played clue,
and as long as things remain the same,
I'll focus on hitting the cue

Wherever that strike leads,
hopefully in the corner pocket,
unlocking the door of the freed,
releasing the sky-bound rocket

Of my maturity, my insecurity,
my nature, my legislature,
my sobriety, my entirety,
my debaters, my creators

and yes, I ask who's talking?
Who's the one in charge?
Who's the boss, the one pimp-walking?
Who is the man at large?

Who's the one swiping the credit card?
Who's the one scooping up the pig lard?
Who's the one that said it was hard?
Who jumped that extra yard?

Questions, so many unanswered.
It's actually kinda awkward
Down right absurd
I'm a little perturbed

Because, I'm an  the Afroboiii,
the number one, not number three,
and if you knew alot things
you would know about me.

But ya don't, so your dog has fleas
and please take him of the leash.
Try to give him some carrots and peas
and maybe some
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!!

so it's been a month....

since I update last. Exactly a month, btw. 
And to say the least, i've been busy. with school work, classes , my practicum at ETHS, NCE, NUMB, work, and just general resting hanging time, this blog was definitely pushed to back of thing on my list of to do.

not to mention my laptop charger almost caught on fire, like seriously dude i was scared I was gonna burn the dorm down. anyhoo I was too lazy/cheap to buy a new one, until I got one for like 4 bucks (7 total) off that good Amazon dot com. so let's just say we back in business, for a least some time.

it's also sad to think that my last Fall quarter at Northwestern is coming to an end. by all means, I'm excited, but parting is such sweet sorrow (SHAKESPEARE!) but I realized it's also a great jubilee. Like from this quarter I've realized one thing: College is stupid. Like I hate it. I hate having to worry about these stupid assignments, when in real life I won't have to write paper or anything. I'll have to write lessons, which I also hate.....uhhhh i don't know anymore.....

I  mean, I just want to figure out what I'm doing with my life, and by that where I'm going to teach when I graduate, when I figure out that I'll be so much happier about life, and it'll give me a goal. Because without goals, life is like a box of chocolates like drifting on the ocean on a piece of ice, eventually that ice will melt and you will sink and die because you can swim. so yeah.

yo that's was like real deep (Heavy?)

In other news. I'm getting old, Officially. On monday I'll be 22, which makes feel real old, I don't know why. I guess this is point where I become an adult. and I guess it's kinda is true. I mean I'm bout to start real life. I got my license, I got a car! (yeah that's news I got a car over thanksgiving break. 2001 Honda Civic, Green, Two Door. Amazing.) I mean I don't want to grow up, but I think it'll be kinda fun/interesting to be completely independent and stuff.

I don't know what else to talk about.
 Um
Band Banquet this Saturday, I get to say goodbye to a great (but crazy) organization. I'm really happy to be done with Band, specifically this quarter it was just another thing on my long list of craptastic-ness. I'm just glad I did it all four years. Even through all the struggles, and the times I didn't want to be there, I really enjoyed being apart of NUMB. I'll miss it. But at least after the Bowl game, I won't have to wear that uniform ever, ever again.

Also, something I learned in the past month:  Teaching is mad hard yo. Like for reals,  I seriously I think it's one of the hardest profession in the world. There's so much to go into to teach high school students, to motivate them. I think besides teaching students math, I really just want to inspire, and just make learning/thinking something kool to do. But hopefully I can do a whole nother post, sometime in the future, more dedicated to my thoughts teaching, because seriously it's gonna become my life real soon. And the world should know how I feel.

um that's really all I have to say now. I might do a youtube mania or something random. Idk depends on how I feel.

Well, I'm off to celebrate something with friends.
Wow I've missed this blog.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!

If I made you a Peach Pie!

yeah. so i'm gonna update now. just to let you know.
i'm not doing any work so i figured i mi'es well do something on this blog.
hope you enjoy it or something like that.
 
and really i'm trying to keep myself awake, cuz i'm laying on this bed and i just want to close my eyes and go to sleep. like fo' reals. but i won't do that, you know why? because i like peach pie. yes, peach pie. and if you don't like, if you don't like it. You is a RACIST!!! (don't get the joke?. click here)

also here's a picture of peace pie.

the term 'Peach Pie' is also referenced in one of my anthems: 'Hate on Me' by Jill Scott. This is my jam!

*******
no but, really. I really hate school at this moment. more so then ever. it just rack my nerves. and pain in my butt (hahaha reference). it's like those wisdom teeth growin in the back of my mouth. urgh. some days u forget they even there, but then it be that one day of tremendous pain. Today  This week is one of the those days. like seriously, i just want to go hibernate under a rock like Patrick Star, while my clone, 'Andre', does all the work.and then at the end of the quarter, i got all A's miraculous (Hallelujah!!) , and the world is all good and stuff.

But unfortnately, i must endure another month, or pure pain, stress, and lame didgeridoos that is the world of academia. Jeez. Laweez.
***********
Some Good News
My Birthday is like 34 days away. I'mma be 22. Damn I'm old. Well.......i guess not really, I just feel that way.
I don't know what I'm gon do, i mean  my birthday is on Monday of finals week. But I do want to party hardcore sometime around it. ya know how I get down.! Well...maybe you don't but that's alright I forgive you anywayz.

Also, I voted today. Even though I didn't really want to. Hope my ancestors are proud of me!

Lastly Random Picture Time,
my procrastination must continue.

clearly these white men are not racist.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Sometimes I like mustard on my sandwiches

sometimes I don't.

Why, you ask?
Well the thing about mustard is  insert[a long story about how this one time when I was a kid I had this really terrible, embarrassing situation with mustard, which made me very fearful of it. Like seriously I can't talk about it on here. It was so bad, I mean, I couldn't even stand the smell of it. Until one day  I accidentally had a sandwich with mustard on it and it was so delicious. Then I started eating it again. But then from time to time I think about that horrible experience, so then I totally don't want mustard on my sandwich, but then  I remember how good it is so then I do. A Paradoxical lifestyle. But then turns out it was all a dream, and  the story I just typed was completely falsified :-) ].

******
so. it's tweleve thirty a.m. I'm kinda tired, but not wanting to go to sleep I decided to update randomly.
I don't really want to talk about anything. (psych, yes I do)
Basically, School sucks. I'm busier than I would like to be. I don't know what I'm doing when I graduate. I don't wanna grow up (I wanna be a Toy 'R us kid). I wish I was a Pokeman. Sometimes dreams do come true. I Can't wait till spring quarter.

That's about it.

You know what I just realized? I don't like complete sentences. They are for losers, like ya mama. Yeah I said it. You offended? You should be, I just talked about your mother.
********
Anyhoo. There's not much to this post.  <---Lies, Deception, Deceit, and Trickery

Here's a guy running for NY governor,

First up this photo.

 

 caption: I guess money really does grow from the scalp. 

Let's point out a couple of things here

- Dolla Bills for hair (you could at least get some 100 dolla bills, you aint gotta let the whole world know you a dolla hoe)

- The coins on the side of head.....

- fuzz on the upper lip

-metallic looking mole/birthmark

NOT A GOOD LOOK. Try again. Maybe ya know wanna go buy some weave with that hair money.

Second, this video.

If Dora was really like this I would watch this e'rday. This made me laugh too hard, hope I didn't wake my suitmates cuz I was laughing too loud. Gosh, lee. Make sure you check out the second 'episode' here.

Yeah that's it. 

Hope you enjoyed it. 

Hopefully I can find more crazy stuff like this.

Don't Stop Believing- Journey



This lead singer guy can blow. Very talented. But I guess I can't stop believing. I gotta keep going. and all that other mushy stuff.

That's basically it. Looking forward to this weekend. Particular Saturday, as the Wildcats face off Purdue Boilermakers (after 4 years I still don't know what that is) trying to go for sixth undefeated win of the season. I'll be there. so excite.

Other than I need to get my life together. Like in general AND what I'm doing after I graduate (oh adulthood), or more so where I'm doing it. (hahahah dirty). I don't know how to decide....

alright that's it. Time to go wash my ass.
Have a fantastical Wednesday!

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

*******wow sorry, I'm really going crazy here.
but this is why I like to have a blog because sometimes I can be serious and sometimes I can be completely way outta on left field not paying attention to the person at bat, cuz I was trying to get some peanuts and cracker jacks, but all the peanuts were salty when I don't even like salty peanuts and I just didn't want them and the guy was arguing with me, "how could you not like salty peanuts, what are you, not American?!" and I said actually I'm Asian. (wait, I think my analogy got lost somewhere).

Bloggy McBlog Blog Blogerstein

wow. guess i don't like to update it anymore
"it's just because i'm so busy"
"it's because i'm so lazy"

well not really, i guess it's more because voicing my opinion about random things don't really appease me anymore as much as they used to.....or is it because I really have nothing interesting to talk about in my life......or is it because I do I have stuff I want to share, but I don't want to share??.......

whatever the reason, the number of my updations are going down in comparison to a year from now (for instance, this is the second one for the month of september)
and since skool starts in 2 days, there's not telling whats gonna happen with this here blog...

but speaking of school,
classes start on Tuesday, but I just realized I won't actually have class until Wednesday  : ) . But on Tuesday I'll be going to ETHS to start my observation, so basically I'll be in class, just not a college one. I'm really looking forward to it. I don't really know what to expect, I mean I have some clue, but what will the students be like? How will my mentor teacher's style differ from my ever-developing style? How will this change my life and my career? Will it even be interesting or will I be bored outta my mind sitting in a high school class?? Idk.  but we'll see....

okay that's kinda it.
Random Picture Time?!
(I haven't done that in awhile)

TOO FAR. smh.

that tis all
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Back in E-town

I really don't feel like updating so I'll just make this one quick.
But um.... I'm Back in E-town, nice to be back.
Basically what's happened since last time I updated: Hung out with friends. Band Camp. Football Game. 'Cats Win!. Partying ensues. Trumpet Bondage. Met mentor Teacher. Move-in.

Now NUMB 2010. Truthfully I was a little worried about this year. I felt I was going to fit in the band, cuz all the really close trumpet friends were no longer in NUMB. But by the end of the 1st day, I knew it was gonna be pretty kool. We got 22 trumpets this year and I seriously LOVE all of them. Just as they love me. It's been great, they'll definitely make this year very enjoyable. so NUMB's gonna be kool.

Mentor Teachers. Okay first let me just start off and say, ETHS is ridiculously large, like no one should have a high school that big, like i don't understand. But I met my two mentor teacher they seem pretty good. It was kinda overwhelming, because I have to do so much stuff. But I know its gonna take some time to get adjusted to the culture. I'm pretty excited though, I'll start my observation probably next week going Tuesday and Thursday, I need to find a solid mode of transportation though. Currently I'm looking at take the bus (205) which I'm really not gonna like, but ehhhh.

Also enjoy this gem of awesomeness about Chicken


I seriously wanna make this my life's anthem for about 2 weeks.
that's all
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

Time Keeps on Slippin...

...in to the future!!!!

In about 30 mins it'll be September 2010. Wow. Where as the time gone? Craziness.

And hopefully in 3 days I'll be back in the E-town chatting it up with friends. But that'll come later. 

Let's focus on things I've done in the past 3 weeks, back from the CO: 

• Ate food
• Slept in my amazing Fullsized Bed
• Went to Dentist
• Played Sims
• Watched TV (Clean House, Everybody Hates Chris, BB, list goes on)
• Thought about BKD
• Went Shopping 
• Driving
• Facebooked/Emailed
• Sung songs
• Called my Brother a 'Bub'
• Obtained Driver's License

Now let's pay close attention to this last bullet point. (sigh of relief, smiles), FINALLY! After many years of hardwork and dedication  laziness and procrastination, I got my driver's license. Now the DMV isn't a place I hate or dread going to. I woke up early this morning, went there and took the driving test. It was SO easy! I felt uber-comfortable, and everything just seemed to go right during the test , it was amazing! When I think about all the struggles I've had with this driving thing, it's pretty great to finally be able to drive w/o having my parents or adult in the car. Which I did get to do today, of course, and it's so different being in a car by yourself, I really don't have to care about how I'm driving per se, cuz I really don't care about certain things like coming to a complete stop. It makes me feel like a real adult and more in control which is great I suppose. 

But the only problem is I don't have my own car. Soooooooooo, I'll probably only drive when  I come home, which is unfortunate, but hey do what ya gotta do. My mom says she's gonna try and get me a car, but who knows what's gonna happen. But I will have to get a car eventually. 

As I said a few post ago, I'm really excited to get back to my last year of college! Can't believe this is gonna be it! Last year wow. I mean although it doesn't feel like it's been 4 years, I can definitely see it's been 4 years, I mean I'm not the same person, I don't hang out with the same people, everythings just different. I've been places, met tons of people, done many, many crazy things and it's just been great. 

So um, that's really all I had to say, idk 

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random Videos from Cell Phone

so I finally got the memory card thing for my phone so I can get these videos off it.
Check this out though. Pretty kool.

Bored in Hotel after coming from Outback Bowl

I was so happy, when looking at all my monies! 

Walking around NU's campus

a recent one, in bed really bored! 

that's all.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Music, youtube style.

Here's some videos, all strangley involving music, some good, some bad. Enjoy!

1. Shardinay - Oh Boy - Music Video



I had this one under my favorties for awhile, but ya know I've been busy lately (translation: i ain't been doing nothing). Anywayz this is one of those BAD ones. This one just starts off bad and gets no better. And she's the "UK female singing sensation". Sensation, yeah,  I get this terrible sensation in my ears.


2. Bad Crack



From the title, I first thought this had to do with the lethal white stuff, but then you see the snapshot of a choir singing and I was like whaa. But once you hear it all make sense. I admit I've watched this about 5 times, and everytime I laughed, and cried. It's so horrible. What makes it so bad is she continues to sing. no! No! NO! NO!. I'm gonna come back to video though when I'm feeling blue and just laugh, laugh laugh (cuz you know he who laugh last, laugh last, laugh first, laugh last).

3. Jazmine Sullivan - Holding you down (going in circles)



This is one of the GOOD. Jazmnine's new single off her upcoming album, which I'll probably buy, cuz I loved the first one. I like the homage in the beginning to Mary J. Blige, cuz people say she sounds like her, I always hear Kim Burrell though, so I don't know about that. But it's catchy definitely.

4. OMG Rude Boy (Cover)



I loved this cover! The way the two songs were mixed was bomb, I kinda forgot it was two different songs. But I love it when white people sound like black people, and can do all the vocal acrobatics, and  have the soul. It's amazing to hear! Though, I can do without the guy cuz the girls kill it! I like the blonde's voice more than the brunette though. It has like a little twang to it, but still soulful.


That's all.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

Read's to go...

read: red-s tah go (as in "ready to go")

Been home for sometime, almost 2 weeks, and I'm ready to head back to good ol' e-town.
It's been nice being home and all, seeing the fam, and the familarity, but I'm SO Bored.
Nothing here changes. On the surface things change, like the furniture and the fact that there's kool-aid back in the house, but it still the same folks and same interactions. Nothing has changed. which I guess is a good thing, ya know with stability and such, but at this point in my life, I've had enough of the same ol' same ol'.

or maybe it had something with me not going home doing spring quarter at NU, then coming home for like 4 days, heading off to denver, basically living by myself out there for 2 months, then heading back to Illinois, i guess where I now have to rely on people, where in denver and at NU, i'm depending on myself mostly. Which I can say I enjoy, i like the freedom the independence.

which is why I'm looking  forward to senior year so much. So much happening!
the Big Thing: Student Teaching, WHEW! as I said I'll be at ETHS, which I thinks gonna be really awesome, my mentor teachers already seem pretty awesome, although we've only communicated by email.

Next thing(s): NUMB and NCE, it's my last year with these organization and I'm really excited about both. NUMB, will have 23 trumpets this year! So excited about this. This means maybe like 8 per part, where as the past three years we had only 5 per part. Major Development! And in NCE i'll be Treasurer, even though this will be hectic position, I'm excited about it and the upcoming 40th anniversary, it's gonna be pretty awesomeness.

But with both of these organization, I'm a senior, so people are defintiely gonna be looking up to me, asking questions about stuff,  I just think it's pretty kool to finally be back at the top of the experience chain again. And plus I get to the things seniors do, ya know. Ahhh it's gonna be amazing year!

Next things: Promote 360 and Work. Unfortnately these two things fall last for me, even I love P360 so much, and I love the things we are able to do within SESP, and work I mean that's money. But I have to fit these in somewhere most def this quarter as well.

And including classes, that's a total of 6 things I'm juggling this quarter. So I think it's gonna be pretty crazy. But my guess is it's not gonna be as bad as I'd imagine. I mean one thing I learned this summer about myself I always expect the worst thing possible, but then nothing is ever that bad. As with BT, I had no idea what to expect, but I just imagine stuff being really crazy and me feeling all loner-ish and stuff, which in fact it wasn't that bad. I can say there was only a couple of times I felt really alone, but those were really random times.

Anywayz I'm looking so forward to senior year. I'm excited to be done, and I'm so glad God has brought me this far, like when I think back to freshman year, it's just amazing I made it this far. And I'm not through. More to come.

Driving, the Dentist, and Disaster

Driving

so I gotta big goal set for the next 3 weeks( my actual summer): get my driver license/.This time for real........ maybe. But on Monday I went driving after a long, long, break and surprisingly, I felt pretty comfortable and natural with it. I mean I admit I am not the best driver and I definitely need more practice, but I feel like in an emergency situation, I would be an okay driver to get someone somewhere safely. It would be pretty awesome though to have my DL before going into my senior year of college, then I guess I'd feel pretty grown. But then again it's still not that big of deal if I don't get it suppose. i mean................idk.

Day at the Dentist 
Strange things happens at the Dentist office (remember this post?).

This time I go to the Dentist office and I'm walking up the window and say my name and then the assistant lady responds, "Oh I met your dad and brother already, but I hadn't met you" and I'm like "oh, really", thinking though she was just talking about my actual brother and dad.
And then I get to the dentist chair and she asks me " Do you also play an instrument?" and I'm like "yeah, I play trumpet" but I'm thinking 'How did she know that I played an instrument? My Brother doesn't play an instrument". And then something happens but she's like "Yeah I met your brother Alex" and I'm like "No, Alijah" and she's like "I'm pretty sure his name was Alex" and I'm thinking "Really lady? I know my brother's name", but then I was just thinking she just messed/forgot up his name.
But then she's like "Oh, ya know what I was thinking of another family". And then I put 2 and 2 together to get four to know she's  talking about the Francois, and she thought I was Andrew, a friend of mine from high school. And I tell her "yeah we use to get mixed up all the time". This is so hilarious because people in high school usta to call us each other all the time and some people definitely though we were brothers. I truly think it's because we were black, but then again....idk.

But just that's one thing that happened at the dentist.

so now I'm at the dentist right, getting a filling and you know dentists and people like to talk to you while they are doing stuff in your mouth (that's what she said). and my dentist is a NU alum so he's  talking about northwestern, football etc. Meanwhile I'm like making noises like "uh-uh, mmmm, etc".  But then I learn that the other dentist in the office. Dr. Lacoste was a NUMBalum, and they showed me his NU room, and it had pictures of him in band uniform, I think he's pretty old cuz those pictures were quite looked old. But it just lead me to the conclusion that NUMB is everywhere, but I really want to talk to him now just cuz he's a NUMBalum.

Clean House

Basically my favorite new show now. Started watching it some weekends ago in Denver. It's basically a show where they clean up messy houses, sell the stuff in yard sale, and give them room make-overs. The first shows I watched were the Messiest House in America, which were just crazy, I just couldn't understand how people would live in  those conditions, like it was so disgusting. But then it just made think of the saying "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" I mean I think that true, because the people who often have these messy home got messed up minds, they cling on to stuff instead of clinging on to God, so yeah I think that's true. And I've never had problems with clinging on to mass quantities of stuff, sometimes a lot of times you gotta let stuff go though. But I loved this show. Niecy Nash is hilarious, and reminds me so much of myself.

Another random thing......hmmmm I could talk about senior year, but that deserves a Whole 'Notha Post. which I probably do later....so until then hope you enjoyed this one.

Youtube Mania: Math Teacher Style

Here's some math videos I showed my students, some of them are pretty awesome, other's are lame, but that's alright with me, it's fun. Enjoy!

1. 25/5= 14


By far one of the funniest math videos ever! Cuz the guy trying to prove what we all know as division, but his mom and dad sound way more convincing with their 25/5=14.

2. Funny math class video

Not sure what movie this clip is from, but it's pretty funny, probably best, most attentive math class ever. I basically told my students to "Don't be that guy! Always do your homework". btw: the teacher is talking about absolutely nothing, just mathematical lingo.

3. Who wants to be a millionaire with Patricia Heaton

Now Patricia totally gives up as soon as she see's it a math problem, and I really can't believe it took her so long to just get to the answer. This is what I'm trying to change about people's attitude toward math. Really it's not that bad.

4.  Blind Date

OMG! probably the second funniest  math videos ever. So many references that I think just flew over all my students head cuz they had no idea about some of the things. So funny though.

5.  Y= MX + B

Possibly the lamest video ever, but you'll definitely be singing the song once you finish or trying to do the 'dance' moves. You really can't forget slope-intercept form with this video.

6.  Slope Intercept Rap

"Do your class work, do your homework!" This is my jam!


That's all. Probably last post from Denver

Movie Rambling

Way to update, Adrian! Yeah I've been kinda neglectful, but who cares this is my blog. 

Anyways this is just about some movies I watched this summer. 

my GS (guardian spirit, sorta like a secret santa for the summer with the Christmas aspect) got me two movies.
Wedding Crashers

I've seen this movie once, but it's cool to own it, and I didn't even have to pay for it. Vince Vaughn is SO Hilarious in this movie. it's pretty great.

Seven

I saw this film probably about 5, 10, 15 idk  years ago. Stars Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt, who are detectives trying to solve a case involving the seven deadly sins, it's pretty good thriller, mystery movie. Kudos to my GS!


I also finally saw Inception,


pretty trippy movie, and amazing. You totally gotta pay attention,  I still missed some stuff even though I swear I was paying attention. I saw this move with some Breakthrough Staff members. It was pretty kool, though  it reminds me so much of  The Prestige (one of my favorite movies), with like all the different scenarios happening simultaneously,  which is funny  because both of those movies were made by Christopher Nolan, who also did Black Night, so that tells you something right there.

that tis all.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Youtube Mania (from Denver)

Here's some videos I found rather hilarious. Hope you enjoy's it.

1. Shawt Bus Shawty.



This is so hilarious. The Gucci Mane drool hilarious. Waka Flocka verse omg. Just Hilarious.

2. Everest College Commercial - Hood Variant



Pretty funny. This seems like something Dave Chappelle would have on his show if it still existed.

3. Up above my head



I really like this video, it so kool. This is like one of my favorite Kirk Franklin songs. So jazzy and this group does a great job.

4. Fantasia- Bittersweet.



Fantasia Back! and this is a pretty good song and video is really nice.It good to something nice and lovely and sk-nanky and nasty.

5. Fast Food Folk Song.


This is so amazing. The guy totally gets everything they say in the sung. I want to do this one day. in my life. but at McDonalds.

That's it.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Wavin Flag

So I had to play my trumpet this summer,
I played the FIFA Official Song Wavin Flag by K'naan  (how do you say that?).
I played the song for Breakthrough Olympics.



But anywayz this song is my jam now, mainly because I had to listen to it 40 bijillion time to make sure I had the notes and rhythm down.

Speaking of soccer, Spain won (I really didn't care either way) but I was kinda rooting for Netherlands because of Susanne (friend from Holland). I can't believe I watched that whole game, not one whole goal until like 5 mins before they were going to have to penalty kicks. What a slow game. I'm glad for Spain though, good for them.

--------------------
Big Brother is back!!! Season 12!

I'm seriously considering trying out for this show after I graduate college. It would be kool.
This season there's one though black girl, but she's mixed, and basically has the same skin tone as some of the white people, Diversity big brother! There is a jew though. The big twist this season though is the saboteur, someone is giving up their chance to win half a million dollars to sabotage the houseguests. I think they have to last until the fifth week. I don't know who it is yet well find out on Thursday. The show comes on Sundays, Wednesday, Thursday, I definitely won't be watching it Wednesday, maybe sometimes Thursday so we'll see how this goes this summer.
----------------

Also check out this video of NCE, took this a while to come out since we recorded it, but it still timely, because of 40th year Anniversary. You can see me throughout.

Btw I'm working on re-designing the website using wix.com, but probably won't really work on it until after I leave Colorado.

That's it.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

sooo...um...randoms..

This weekend was the first time I felt homesick.
More so I miss my family, than being in K3.
Probably because it was 'Da Forth', that's what we I call it.
(btw I hope everyone had a great holiday)
and because my mom's b-day is on Wednesday.

And i realized it's the first time I won't be with my mom for her bday,
but I talked to her so it's okay. and i suppose she had 19 without me. so she'll be okay.
I don't feel as homesick now mainly cuz I talked to my family yesterday.
And plus I have a week of teaching to look forward to, so I think I'm good.

---------------------------------------------------------
Other randoms.

So I had the house to myself, and there's a piano in the house, which means I started playing it.
And along with some sheet music I got from somewhere online, I started to play the first part of "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers


Love this song.
Goal: By the end of the summer, be able to play the whole thing? Maybe. Idk.

----------------------------------------
I also watched a couple of movies.

I finally saw Wanted.


Let's just say I loved this movie. A lot of the scenarios and actiony-thingys that happened where SO unbelievable, like when that car landed on top of the train and then kept going. CRAZY! And pretty much how all the characters survived all those dangerous situations.
I really enjoyed this movie though. It was funny and had tons of actions and good 'ol killin'. Very graphic though. I can mark being a secret spy assassin off my list of career choices, definitely not doing that after seeing this movie, I might end up killing my father. whoops!

I also saw Not Easily Broken.

It was pretty good movie. Kinda got too emotional towards the end , like to much crying. But a very dramatic movie, You can definitely tell it's based off a book. In the end though its a movie about marriage, which doesn't apply to me at this point, but a very good Black movie in my opinion.

---------------------------
Tyler Perry
Not easily broken kinda reminds me a Tyler Perry movie (doesn't every black movie some where involving church make you think of that. Can you say Monopoly anyone?)

Anywayz that reminded me of the Boondocks episode, 'Pause', where they make fun Tyler Perry, portraying him as a person who uses God to have sex with men. And apparently at least some aspect of that is true, because on the rumor circuit mill (See rhymeswithsnitches), Tyler Perry has gotten the episode to stop being shown...yeah. But you should definitely see the episode, if you haven't.


That tis all

Ramblings about Various Things

Sleeping In

(Baby Koala Bear Sleeping) 
Sleeping in Today was Amazing, it was the first day since I got in Colorado that I wasn't up before 8 AM.
I woke up at 10 today, and then just laid in the bed for 2 hours: AMAZING!
Hopefully all my weekends won't be like that, but this weekend definitely I just needed to chill.

Soccer
I watched the soccer game today (the second time in my life I've actually watched one, first one was USA vs UK). Unfortunately we lost, to Ghana. It would've been kool to see them continue. What I find amazing is how things look when the do replays, they like slow it down and zoom in, and it's like totally crazy like all the positions their bodies be in. Soccer is definitely no joke, physically. But this is:
 (hahaha)

Weather
It's been kool being out in here in Colorado. Today was the first time it rained since I've been here. All the others day were HOT and sunny. But it's actually really really beautiful, esp. the campus the school is on. SO pretty. I hope it stays that way, although I do need a little rain every now and then in my life.


Persons Unknown

But um, oh, I wanted to talk about this new show called Persons Unknown, airs on NBC on Mondays. It's about this seven people who get like kidnapped and sent to this ghost town. they basically are trying to escape, but they have no idea why they are there, who it is that's watching them (there's camera's everywhere). And they tried to escape many times, but they were all unsuccessful. I like the story, but not so much the acting, especially the main character lady, SO BAD.

Also another problem in like the first two episodes (there's only 3 so far), the main male is white (no surprise) but he was like seen as the leader, he was doing everything to help them escape, and the black guy (who is a soldier) was kinda like his 'slave', from my point-of-view, cuz he was like yes sir I can do that (no exactly, but you'll have to watch it to get what I'm talking bout), but I figured that was coming from him the army thing, which in a way slavery sorta. Also the black guy is Muslim, which I thought that was interesting. There's also this blonde chick, who I think was like drunk when she got kidnapped, which was kinda funny.Then there's This CRAZY lady, she was like in the psychiatric place, the rich guy, and the sketchy-looking guy. But um I'll be watching this hopefully every week. or at least catching up on the weekends.

Big Brother
Speaking of shows, Big Brother (I can't believe all last summer, I updated about that) is coming back on july 8th, don't think I'll be able to keep up with the episodes during the week, hopefully I'll be able to watch it on the weekends. There's no info on the houseguests or the house yet, there will definitely be something by next week.

Okay that's it, I don't feel like typing anymore.

Youtube Mania!!

*Live from Denver, I bring you Youtube Mania!* 

1. Lauryn Hill--- Doo Wop live @ Harmony Festival 2010.

Lauryn hill is back?! I really hope so and this video gives me that hope. This is my one of my favorites Lauryn Hill songs (I think I've talked about this song before) it has a message, not to mention it sounds pretty awesome.

Now, I'm not sure what she's wearing, but I'm sweating just looking at her, but um I like her hair. apparently there was this 'big' thing about her straightening her hair on mediatakeout.com. i mean, c'mon, people change hairstyles whatev. but I hope she's actually back, cuz that would be kool.

2.  Ron Artest Final Speech

Laker's won NBA championship. Boo. I guess I was rooting for the Celtics. Anyway Ron Artest embarrasses himself. why?

a). he didn't answer the question she asked. 

b). "I wanna thank everyone in my hood" ???!??! 

c). thanking your psychiatrist? i don't need to know that. 

d) you got a single coming? NO. Stop, I've heard your MJ tribute.  

3. Praise song and dance

I saw this video earlier in my life. About 3-4 weeks ago. Not sure why I didn't post it here then cuz it's all kinds of wrong.

Here's a couple: that lady need to get on some kinda key and stay there (although she sure can belt). The ear microphone thing that the man wears annoys me. And the dancer. well, there are no words. only stares.

From the reaction of the crowd, though, it seems somebody was blessed, which I guess is the only thing that really matters.

Only 3 videos, I know. what do you expect? I'm in Denver, trick!

yeah, idk.

Changes, Movies, and Such

It's been great being home for a couple of days. Just relaxing, actually being able to watch TV, chatting with family, laughing, makes me wish I kinda wasn't doing anything this summer, but hey...

there's been a couple major changes in the home though (none of which you probably really care about)

• different living room furniture  like the couch, entertainment thingy, curtains, just different
• my room's got another addition first it was the treadmill, now I got a different dresser thingy, not to mention my bed is no longer against the wall, and I don't have a headboard, kinda hard to sleep
• and no KOOL-AID! it's like a sin against being black or something; I just can't see home w/o kool-aid, they trying to be healthy and stuff just drinking water. can we at least get some juice?

There's other changes but they're not so  significant i suppose.

but I guess all these changes don't matter cuz I'll be leaving in two days. Which I am so excited about it. I don't really know what to expect, cuz its a place I've never been and around people I don't know. it's just Unknown and unfamiliar territory. But I'm excited. I'll get you updated (I'll get around to making that other blog, Afroboiii in Colorado?!, in a couple days probably after I get there, I don't know how do it. as soon as I know you should).

While I was home though, watched some movies ( I actually started watching a couple Face/off & X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but I couldn't get into them, Wolverine is probably good just didn't feel like getting into. Face/off just looked dumb so..)

I did watch these though

Master of Disguise
with Dana Carvery. I watched it with my brother (that lil munchkin). I hadn't seen this movie in a while, it came out in 2002. but it was pretty hilarious. 'I am not turtely enough for the turtle club' finally made sense, and the villian guy farting everytime he laughed evil(ly) was SO funny. the Story was booty of course, but they didn't intend on being serious or having a good plot at all. I Loved it though.

Norbit
with Eddie's Murphy(s). This is old time fav, probably seen it a bijillion time before. Still hilarious, but I guess I started thinking what really makes being that fat so funny. It's really kinda offensive I suppose. and like  at that u need to lose weight, not making a mockery of yourself.  But it is kinda more of the character, then again i'm not sure.

Why Did I Get Married Too? (on bootleg)
Yes, on bootleg. My parents hadn't seen it either, so we had to get the bootleg to watch it. So this Movie. Definitely not one his (tyler perry) best. I believe it wasn't that great because this was (basically from my persepctive) in reaction to his mother's death. I guess he didn't want to think about, and he had to keep working to get his mind off it. The movie definitely needed some more work (esp the ending). This movie was really crazy though, and alot random stuff happened, but definitely not as good as the first one.

alright
next post will probably be in Colorado

peace & chicken grease!

Taking a Break...Again

From studying for this last final of my junior year, Geometry,
just to reflect on this school year.

one word, well three, okay let's just not do that.

but if I could describe this year briefly:
Awesomeness. So much better. Stressful, but fun.


I went  through ALOT this year (the Butt catastrophe incident, this research methods class, this quarter in general, and other stuff I probably blocked from my memory cause they were so mean and evil)

but I had alot of good times that come to mind instantly (staying at heather's for b-day celebration, drumline serenade, my 21st birthday, alamo bowl, NCE concert w/ D Lawrence, Dillo Day, and so many other times of laughter and joy)

I also feel like my people network increased tons-ly (<---yeah i making up words) this year. I just kinda remember myself as a freshman coming in & not knowing anybody, and even by the end of my freshman I still really didn't know anyone, but now a day barely goes by with me running into people I know, stopping and having mini update sessions. so it's pretty awesome. it just feels like I'm finally coming into that senior Northwestern-expert-y role thing.

I really do think this was the best year yet, and I just can't wait to see the craziness, stress, and laughter that senior year brings.

**********
Breakthrough Updates.

• I just realized also this time next week, I'll be in Colorado, finishing up my first day with Breakthrough. So excited! 
• I Finally did find out my housing, I'm staying the Clarks (that's basically all I know).
• I'm probably gonna blog about my Breakthrough experience so I can keep everyone updated, it probably won't be here though, I'm thinking about making a whole 'nother blog just for it. That said don't know how much I will update here in the summer. 

**********

that's all 

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Simply Updating

nothing special.

3 years 
junior year coming to a close. 3 classes down, 1 more to go and its the 'important' one (i suppose), math,
i actually feel i should actually start studying now, math hasn't been so great this quarter. but we'll see.
i think its gonna be weird though being a senior, I kinda feel like I just got here, well I mean I can remember my first visit to this campus, and all the nervousness & anticipation I felt because I was finally going to college. and i guess it's just now hitting me there's only one year left and like everyone will be looking to me as the example and a leader......yeah, but I'm so GLAD this quarter is almost over, and  I made it through (THANK GOD)...

This summer
Breakthrough in Colorado is official. I booked my flight the other day ($300+, omg!). But I'm excited for this opportunity, and I'm looking for an active and stressful summer, which is totally opposite of every other summer of my life, seriously. Yeah, I'm kinda nervous about finally teaching cuz I don't know what to expect, but I know whether good or bad, it'll be a great experience. And I'll be helping the childrens which is good always.

GFest
Just came from the Gospel Fest 2010. It was kool. I saw 'lil bit of Kathy Taylor. All of Byron Cage and Hezekiah Walker. It was pretty kool. I personally felt though their sets weren't long enough. It just felt like they did five songs and were done, but hey can't really complain it's free, well i suppose it comes from taxes. I'm going again tomorrow, Richard Smallwood & Fred Hammond will be, it should be awesome.

Homesick
Other than that things going pretty well. I really want to go home soon, I haven't seem my family in over 2 months! and I just miss them extremely, even though I guess it doesn't seem like since I never really go home. I guess though I gotta kind of get used to not seeing them, I mean I'll be starting my career pretty soon & there's no telling where I'll be teaching...

speaking of which,
Career Backup Plans
1. my elaborate plan to move to the U.K. for 10yrs gain a British accent, come back to the states open up a bar and D.J.
2. CTA bus/train driver
3. Backup Dancer
4. Run for Vice President w/ Kira (La)Frank for Prez.

most of these r jokes, but I guess I should seriously be thinking about a backup plan just in case teaching doesn't work out (for some strange reason), but I really don't know what else I would do.

okay I'm gonna end here
or I'll continue for ever probably..

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Dillo Day

definitely deserves its own post cuz it was SO Awesome!!, like really.....
I felt like i slept for most of the day though (probably because I didn't get back in until 5 the morning before resulting in like 4 hours of sleep).

but I had so much fun, everything was so carefree, everyone was happy. the sunny was shining, my arm was blue. I was wearing my China-town hat. life was good.

AND I saw Nelly live. I mean I know he's so 2000, but it was still pretty awesome; and it was just fun to get away from the studies, and party like it was 1999, which I guess for this Dillo Day they were going for with Nelly.

Personally, I vote for one Dillo Day ever quarter, but  we'd totally have to change the name to fit each quarter, maybe Zebra day for one of them? nah, nothin's as gangsta as an Armadillo.

*************
Sidenote: Denver is approaching fast and quickly, I'm excited, but I still I don't have a definitive homestay (WTF?).
Let's just pray this get fixed soonish, otherwise I really can't go, cuz I won't have a place to stay.
*************

I feel like this post should def be as twice as long, but I don't really have that many stories to tell, but just know it was awesome, ' kay thanks...

Taking a Break

from a non-existent study and homework session to do this so you betta enjoy it.

First up,
I went skating on Friday. SO MUCH FUN! Can't remember  the last time I went roller skating, but it was LONG time ago. And it came back so naturally surprisingly, but it definitely made my body hurt, esp. my legs and my back. Which made me realize how old I am, (you're thinking: "you are only 21 dude", and i know this). and I guess it also made me realize how much I skated when I was little, I mean not THAT much like I could do spins and stuff but still it was a considerable amount. I guess this came even more apparent when people my age didn't know how to skate at all ( which was quite funny, I must admit esp when they fell).

Also an annoying thing about the place we went was that, they had like a "referee" type guy ( i mean he had one the white/black striped shirt) supervising people and what not, and he kept blowing this whistle, so annoying!!. And there were this group of guys there that reminded me so much of the movie Roll Bounce, doing like tricks and spins, and crazy stuff that totally just came outta no where. I guess I just didn't know people still took it as a sporting type of thing, and it was nice to see that around.

Number 2,
Words of Advice:
Just wanna say if you can not handle your liquor then you don't need to be drinking. AND if you gonna puke, please learning the proper puking procedures, which means do it IN the toilet,  and not on the floor (that's what she said?!). but if you so happen to get puke on the floor,  the next day you should attempt clean up the puke.

It would also be best that while you are intoxicated, not to enter people's room and steal their laptops. Unless don't you mind be screamed at or forever despised as the drunken-freshman-who-steals-people-laptops boy.
i mean, i'm just saying
(btw none of this happened to me, just some words of advice).

Last but not least,
I finally found out my placement at least for the Fall: ETHS!! (Evanston Township High School). This is pretty good news, although I think any placement would've been. but um good thing about this is that it's close to campus, which means I won't have to wake up at the crack-ass of dawn (well not AS early) for stuff. Should be fun.

That 'tis all I got.
Hope you enjoyed it, if you didn't you should reconsider that.

Updation of Sorts.

Maurice Griffin

Recently went to a church performing for NCE, it was a Relief for Haiti (something that I think people have kinda forgotten about so I'm glad people are still making it a priority). Anyways to my surprise the special guest at this concert was Maurice Griffin, who many may not know is a fellow Kankakee-an(??). check him out here.
Anyways dude took us, well I'll say me, IN. don't know what that means? Look at this video,

that basically what happened.

Anyways it was a blessing to see him and to be blessed as well.

Teaching this Summer
In less than a month I'll be in Colorado, how crazy is that? so excited! I just gotta get through the craziness of Spring Quarter (and also book my flight)...

But I saw this video. and I'm even more excited. about teaching math in general.

so awesome.

Speaking of  Youtube (they turned 5 years old). isn't that crazy as well? I'm a junior in college now so when I was a junior in high school Youtube was barely known, but now it's so vital. I mean a day doesn't pass where someone's like "Did you see this video? it was hilarious." one thing though I think that intrigues me is how long things like Facebook and Youtube are gonna be around for, like in 20 years will there be a totally different social networking site; or will Google eventually take over the World; or will the Internet totally die somehow?


yeah okay that's it
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!
