Been home [a little more than] a week.

And it's weird.
Because I have that feeling like I would over a spring/winter break......I'll get back to Evanston soon enough (which is still true in this instance) but it's gonna be in a total different way.

 I'll be living in actual place of my own (the search for that is still ongoing and actual quite stressful, how I would love to play over $1000 for a 1 bedroom, I don't know if it's really worth it, esp since I have loans to payoff.......Do I want to live in Evanston or Chicago?....I just don't know, because I've never done this before...so really unsure but I'll figure something out, I'll keep you updated)

But really I have that feeling like I'm tired of being in K3 and that I'll be heading back to Evanston soon to hangout with friends and get ready for classes, but that defintiely's not happening..
And really I do not like being home.
One, I feel like there's nothing to do/I don't want to do anything
Two, No one is here
Three, family is family, but annoying after awhile, esp parents, its like stop telling me what to do, I'm not a teenage anymore, they don't understand that though.

Only a month left though, I'm sure I'll miss K3, but really looking forward to things to come.
Like sometimes I forget that I already have a job, because I literally have nothing to do, but there are moments of enlightenment when I'm like 'wait I have my own classroom, and students, and getting actual money for it'. It's a really great feeling....

But in the meantime, I need to find stuff to do.
yeah.
Random PIcture time. 

that baby is so cute...and I would totally say the same thing/have the same facial expression if I was with Obama.

2. 2 cute twin babies communicating/conversing/talking in baby language 

 

Umm. Cute! I really wonder what they are talkin' bout. Makes me wish I had some baby translatin' device. Like this could be like talking bout the cure for cancer. But it's probably got something to do with the one on the right missing a sock. Just my ed-jamacated guess.

 

 

3. OVEREXPOSED: REBECCA BLACK

 

I'm sure you know who 'BeccaBlack. and the horribleness that is that FriesDay song of hers. But here's Kinsley giving what I think bestly represent how I felt right after seeing the video for the first time. Enjoy :).  

 

 

4. Jennifer Hudson - Where You At

Love this song. And the video is pretty nice. JHud's representing the Chi nicely. Her voice is amazing. FYI, This song was written by R.Kelly, AND then everything made sense. 

Stop slanging, find a real job a go to work!

 

That's it for now.

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/

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

Hello World,

I believe the last time I update it was January,
how quickly Black History Month approaches,
I mean we are already 4 days into the new month.

And can I just say, (yes you may)
that this quarter is going by inexplicably fast,
like really, there's still so much i have to do,
in like less than a month,
but i can do it, hopefully.

things r going well though,
classes r starting to do their thug-dizzle thing in my life
well my only bad day is like Tuesday, which means Monday nights suck ASS!
but once I get past Tuesday, I recover Wednesday and Thursday Friday (no homework ever done on Friday),
and then must prepare myself for the next Tuesday over the weekend.

umm I already applied for Breakthrough Collaborative, sent my application in on Saturday
(i actually turned it in when I said I was)....got an interview this Monday @ 10:45 AM on gchat
yes, I hope this works out, it will be nice to go somewhere this summer, better than staying in the Kank,
and also it'll give me some type of teaching experience,
now all I need is a back-up plan (just in case)
but I'm praying I won't need it.

also I think I'm gonna try and do the Senior Thesis thing. Hopefully, I will be able to traverse through all the things I gotta do to do it and hopefully I can stick with it. I'm apprehensive about it still, but we will see.

Currently "looking" for an apartment to stay next year, I think it will be nice. But I'm thinking it probably gonna cost me the same amount of money to stay in a dorm, seeing as how what I  saw by calculating in my head right quick, that the school just gives me enough money for tuition. so we'll see.

yes I'm am still rambling, and if you made it this far u get a gold star.

if not then u don't get NOTHIN!

it really doesn't matter cuz I don't really have anything else to talk about......
idk....
maybe update later (well it can only be later ya dummy)...

whatevs
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

So I've Come to the Realization...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

hahahahaha

If you're brave enough.....read this.....

BB Updation

Didn't see the episode live on Sunday because of church, but saw it later that night. Here's basically what happened:

Russell became HOH (As i said before) by making a promise to Jeff ( because they were the last two people hanging on the thingy, usually what happens) to keep him & Jordan safe, and also to put up Ronnie as one of the nominees.
They also discussed later possibly getting together, which I like, it would be nice to see Jeff come back, and with Russell I think he has a good shot at winning.

But anywayz Russell has proven to be a man of his word, I mean he voted for Casey to stay, & he kept his promise to Jeff (this does not happen often in this game). Russell put up Ronnie & Lydia, totally for Ronnie to go home. I don't think Ronnie will win POV, so hopefully he'll be walking out the door on Thursday, which I will not see cause I'll be in choir rehearsal....but that's all good...
yeha....


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

August

Something feels different about this month, I see, i guess, stuff going differently. It's the 8th month, time for new stuff or something like that.

I can't really believe I have like a month left before going back to the E (it's so cold). Well, actually I can, it just doesn't seem like it's been 6 weeks. It'll be nice to be back, but for now I'm going to enjoy my summer, whatever that means.

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

Random Pic-elation! (<----this beauty of a word just came to me, might have to use it)

Updation about Unreleated Things...

BB Update
------------

The black girl, Chima, was almost gone y'all. I was about to be mad. But Braden (white surfer dude, in the popular clique) was evicted from the BB house, which is good cuz supposedly he said some racist stuff or something, idk nothin about it.

Ronnie (the Star Wars nerd guy) won HOH (big suprise, like really). so that means Chima is safe. kool. I'm not sure what's gonna happen with Ronnie as HOH, hopefully he'll be smart (hahaha get it he's apart of the Brain clique?) and put up an Athlete (Jessie or Russell would be good to me at least). The game has begun . yeha that's it.

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

Do the Right Thing

watched this Spike Lee Joint last night. It was alright. Basically a 2 HOUR movie about DAY in Bed-Stuy (shouldn't it be spelled "Bed Sti" cuz that how people say it..). I mean there was a lot racism in this movie and such (by such I mean profanity). And I see he was trying to bring racism up as a topic for discussion.

The ending was a little crazy, thoug, very dramatic from outta nowhere. Def a Black-tackular movie. I just thought it would be more funny then it wuz for some strange odd reason.

Oh, Spike Lee is in the movie, and I was watchin' it and I was like why he gotta be in all his films, cuz he's a terrible actor, like fo real. but anywayz this is definitely going on the list.

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

so today as I was cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom ( i don't know for some reason I just felt like doing that. well the dishes were piled high, i really didn't have to clean the bathroom though), I was listening to Musicals on my Ipod (Wicked, Sweeny Todd, the Wiz, Dreamgirls, Annie , Bye Bye Birdie, etc.) And I just began to think about how much I miss the THEATRE. I really enjoyed the stage in high school, it was really funn (duh, or else i would've done it).

ThereFORE I'm thinking about trying to do some type of play thing when I head back to NU. That would be SO kool. but yeha..I was totally in Musical mood today.

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

Also today, I randomly watched two basketball games from NU's previous season on the Big Ten Network.

In both of these games we won (GO 'CATS!). One against Purdue (Pur- Don't) & the other Ohio State (boo!), both of these were amazing games that I hadn't seen before. My question: why couldn't they play like that in the all games (especially the Illinois Game) ? they were just amazing. Hopefully we get better this year coming up.

Watching these NU basketball games made me think of football. and I am so excited for the football season. I love football, especially NU. but NU has really allowed me to enjoy football all around. but um yeha excited about that even though it's far away.

Found some highlight videos of those basketball games, watch. (Craziness, good crazy though)

Against Ohio

(that last shot, amazing)

Against Pur-Don't

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

actually these topics were releated BB-> racism -> Do the Right Thing & Musicals -> NU -> NU sports. yeha they did.

Movie Rambling...

so since I haven't been up to much
I have been watching tons & tons of stuff,
including movies (with On Demand and such).
Here's a list of ones I thought was worth mentioning...

*sidenote: Don't think I updated about this on here, but me and my friends decided to come up with a Black Movie List ( I think the official title is Black-tackular...). A Black Movie is movie where the main character(s) are black...basically (at least to me) there has to me 3 or more main black characters...but anywayz some movies will be Black-tackular worthy...so that's what that means.*

1. Double Platinum

this movie stars Diana Ross & Brandy, came out in the '90s. Anywayz I found this movie highly enjoyable (more than I expected I guess). I mean there was singing and even a little drama. oh, the plot, so Diana Ross is Brandy's mother. Diana Ross is a star, and Brandy is an upcoming one. (yeha so they get to sing). But I enjoyed it. I think it's definitely Black-tackular worthy.

2.Final Destination

watched this one On Demand. I was looking for something with drama and thrill, and I thought this would be it. Okay, It Def was. so that airplane scene was crazy, wait the whole movie was crazy. I feel like someone has to be crazy/suicidal to think of different ways for people to die. Though, I do want to watch the rest of the series now. But I def had to watch something funny after this (even though it wasn't that scary)...just so I would think about it. It was actually a "scary" movie and not gory.

3.The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings

Yes, a long title = hilarity. Really enjoyed this film. Kinda old, came out in the '70s (as you see I don't try to get correct dates, who cares?). But it stars Billy Dee Williams & James Earl Jones (Love how it's their whole names) who are pretty young in this film, at least compared to now. It's basically a sports movie (baseball), but actually really funny. At first I didn't really get the humor (idk sometimes I'm really slow). But this is most def black-tackular worthy.

4. Fantastic four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer

I remember seeing the first one, and I thought it was pretty awesome (at least what I could remember of it) but I found the sequel to be really lame (per usual). I don't know it wasn't exciting to me at all. It sucked. One funny thing: I forgot Kerry Washington's character was blind, I was just like what happened to her?! cuz she had such a funny look on her face. Then someone said something and I was like oh she's blind. Other than that really didn't like it. I know what it was. It got to outer spacey. yeha.......

5. Cube

Okay really enjoyed this movie. About seven people who find themselves in place full of cubes. And basically try to escape. That's all I have to say. It was a pretty good movie though. It really interested me, the math involved in the movie (cuz I'm geek......). If there was more black people in this movie it would definitely be black-tackular (i think one of the guys was mixed....maybe he might've been hispanic or something). but it's not soooooo.....

6. Waterworld

Also, another movie I really loved. Basically the polar caps melted and now humans live on water, no land in sight. Basically its like generation, and generations after they melt, so like people are used living on the water. In fact, people start to mutate to like fish-men. Stars some white guy (sorry not good with names). I had to look this up. Kevin Costner. Really enjoyed this movie though. I actually don't think there was any black people in this movie (guess we wouldn't surivive if the polar caps melted....hahaha...). I didn't think about that till now. Like I do watch movie without black people.


anywayz, that my movie rambling.
if you read all that, then you're amazing!!!
if you didn't, then you're probably not reading this right now.
