wow it's almost august.

i wanted to write this emotionally filled post about how I am truly terrified about having my own classroom. And TRULY being the one in charge. Like for student teaching it was different because ultimately really what went one was my mentor's decision. But I just don't know what I want to do or I guess what is 'right' for me to do. I guess I just don't like this idea of being a novice teacher. I want to be an experience, talented teacher already...I think it's just that I hate failing, but that's the only way I'm gonna grow soo...

And on top of that I'm moving to Evanston, and I'm gonna be completely on my own. I guess it's just a big step, and I didn't think it would feel as big as it does. I mean I went to college for 4 years, pretty much away from home the whole time, I just thought it would be easier than it feels. but it's not. Being at home for like 2 months makes me miss that security even more, that support. And I know my parent's will still be supporting me, but in a different way (financially not as much, which I guess don't wanna really worry about and I prolly won't, until I see all those bills). And each day that gets closer to my move-in day, it hints me slightly more that these big steps are approaching.

and I mean, I miss college already, I can't really believe it's over. And it's not helping that I'm moving back to the place where I went to school. I knew this would happen. Of course graduation day I was really happy I was done. But now I realize, I met some amazing  people, had some amazing experiences, and I'm done with that, moving on this next step of teaching, and totally different life.

But although I'm truly scared of being a teacher, moving on my own, and missing college, I know in the end I'll be alright. And in about two months I'll be so busy, everything will be routine, and I'll have some amazing experiences that I'll be truly happy that I am where I am.......But until then I guess I just need to pray and focus my energies elsewhere........

Was that emotional enough????

Blah.
----------------------
Random.
This week was VBS at my church. Realized I'm so glad I'm teaching high schoolers. those 6,7,8 year olds. Nu-uh.Could not be me. I would slap one of those kids....for reals.
----------
Announcement of sorts
Having a Graduation/Going Away/Housewarming celebration. More so my mom is. I don't really care about the celebration I just want gifts/money............should be fun though. I have to do a 'powerpoint' but I think my mom meant slideshow. well at least that's what I plan on doing...hahaha I'm so lazy.

also this is my 299th post........it's taken me forever to get to this 300. next post is gonna be grand slash i'm totally lying because I don't even know when the next time I'm gonna post....and who says grand anymore? dang cuh...

here's a random picture of me after I graduated from Kindergarten.......

I wonder if I still have this certificate, my mom prolly does........hahaha.
alright that's it.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

Yeah, it's May.

Wow. It just kinda hit me while I was typing this. Pretty soon I will have only 30 days left in my college experience. Wow, I can't believe it.

So much is going to happen in that time........ But classes will be over then. so I'll be considerably happy. I don't want to talk about school or I'll get depressed, angry, stressed or crazy
So I'm just gonna talk about some random stuff. Enjoys.

1. I'm enjoy myself, chillin for the most part. Procrastinating is what some folks would call it. But it is, what it is. And if that's what it is than that's what it is.......idk.

2. Basically, I miss teaching. I realized this on Tuesday. P360 had a student visit, its was kids from Waukegan. And I had like a group of 9 students, and we just showed them around the campus, had lunch with them and stuff. It was really fun, the kids were awesome. And I really got them excited about college, so I hope that their visit really got them thinking about college. And basically I just realized how much I missed teaching, that's the reason I want to be a teacher to inspire the students, make them know they can do anything they want to. so basically I'm excited about the upcoming school year. so glad I gots employment. :-)

3. I need to find a place to live though. I definitely want to stay in Evanston/Chicago for the summer, because Kankakee might get on my nerves considerably. but I need to figure that out soon......urgh.

4. TUMBLR is awesome. I'm pretty much addicted. Past addiction to say the least. It's basically my new facebook. It's awesome, I get to track post on bacon, education, math, technology, and trumpet. It's like I can incorporate all my interest into one place. This is last time I'm posting the link. So click if you'd like. http://imtheasauce.tumblr.com

5. Oh, Bin Laden is dead. Kool, thanks Obama and all the troops. I'm still afraid about any retaliation efforts from his people's, I'm praying that nothing bad happens though. But I think it's really good that people who lost loved ones from 9/11 now feel some sense justice has been served. That's good.

6. Just finished watching Black Dynamite.

 I loved it. Stars Michael Jai White, guy who played Tasha's husband on TP's Why did I get married?. Pretty funny, and just generally interesting, makes fun/pays homage to blaxploitation films of the 70s. I loved it (Did I say that already?). I basically thought this story was gonna end like 3 times before it actually did, it's just pretty ridiculous. But that's why I loved it. So if you haven't seen it. Watch it.

Oh kay that's it.....
Yes.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

so after this blog post I gotta turn off this internet

because tumblr is my new addiction....
i just about reblogg everything
and if you don't know what that means. get a tumblr. (here's mines)

anywayz
I have my second interview with tomorrow with Evanston with the principal.
Yeah, I'm nervous but I'll be fine.....#praythatigetit.......
I really want a job before I graduate...
and pretty much I haven't been applying too that many places....so yeah

-----------------------------------------
besides that today is Easter Resurrection Sunday.
here's a video about the story using 21st century social media

Follow from Igniter Media on Vimeo.


pretty kool, huh?
but this is totally how it happened. like lately I've been reading the Book of Mark, and like Jesus was Celebrity, people came from everywhere to see him, to hear him speak, to be healed by him. So I wouldn't be surprised if twitter existed back in the day, Jesus would be a trending topic.

---------------------------------------
other than that. I'm truly not up too much. Waiting until June 17, when I can go live my life without the restriction of classes, papers, professors, assignments. What a great day that shall be.

i'm really just procrastinating through this post......
that's why imma have to shut this internet off.....urgh...
but not until after Random Picture Time!

yes we are everywhere...

i mean I'm not a ninja.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Student Teaching and stuff

I just realized this is my first post of the new year.
I'm a lil bit late.
so HAPPY NEW YEAR.

2011 has been off to a great start. I've begun my student teaching at ETHS, and I'm really loving it.
There's so much I can talk about my student teaching so far, even though it's only the 3rd week (7 to go). One thing I love it that I'm finally doing what I've been wanting to do for so long: TEACH. Like last week, after talking with my mentor teacher about how I did in the morning. I just felt really happy. This was possibly the happiest I've been in awhile. All because I'm doing what I wanna do with my life, and not taking STUPID classes. Unfortunately I'll be back to 'college life' come spring quarter, but I'm deciding not to think about that or I'll get all depressed and stuff.

Otherwise I'm really enjoying it. The kids are great and hilarious. For instance, I've seen a girl pull a pass outta of  her bra, and a  kid chew on a wad of paper. There should be more hilarious things to come. Stay tuned. The students are really cool. I'm teaching a Geom H class, all freshman, mostly white, and 3 Algebra 2 Regular class, culturally mixed . and it's been interesting seeing the differences. Honors kids are a lot more self-motivated. Like you give them a problem and they immediately start working on it. Whereas in the other classes you definitely have to nudge them along, sometimes ya gotta do a little more than nudge. But it's an experience nevertheless. I'm enjoy the challenge. I think this is one of the main differences between regular and honors. I don't think it has anything to do with intellect but more so motivation, like who cares more about learning it seems. Not to say that regular students don't care it just seems from my experience they just don't want to anything, and this could stem from plenty of things I'm sure, especially in relations to mathematics. But anyhoo it'll be interestin seeing the difference between the classes, over the quarter.

I haven't taken over any classes yet. That comes in about 2 weeks, after the students are done with finals, ya see ETHS is on the weird system, but it works out okay for me I suppose. It's gonna be really interesting teaching though 5 classes alone because I'm currently co-teaching 4 of them, which is really great, because I can interact with the students get to know them, and instruct them as well. But it'll be interesting having that full load of classes, and having to do so much preparation, like I already know Ima be dead tired. Literally, there's like so much left to this quarter it redunkulous. But I'll get through it and be fine.

Also my mentor teachers are really great. Peter's awesome, even though he's a little reluctant about letting his class into my hands because I'm probably gonna mess them up and confuse them. But there's nothing I can really do but my best, and it's not gonna be perfect and I'm okay with that for now. Maryjoy though is also awesome, she reminds me alot of myself and we get along pretty well. She just had a baby in October so she's really more focused on him (his name is Theo, I'll get to see him Wednesday next we hopefully!) than on school when she's not at school. Which to me, is totally understandable, it just might make some things kinda of difficult to do. But as usual I'll be okay, I'm a big boy. Ummmm yeah I love my mentors, they have been so awesome.

so basically, Monday through Friday
I wake up a 6am outta the door by 640,645 because i take my shower the night before. take the cta purple line from noyes to davis.this involves me waiting usually like 5 mins which sometimes might look like this.

 i then take 93 bus from davis to the school (it literally drops me off right in front of the school) then I'm at the school until about 430, 5. so it's pretty long days. Basically I'm working, without getting paid. Actually I'm paying someone else to work. It's really great. But the experience I'm  is priceless gaining in my mind.

But as I've said like a million times by now I really love my student teaching experience so far. Mainly cuz I'm doing my thug thiz.

Okay so I honestly don't know how much I will updates bout student teaching or general life problems or randomocity, prolly not much, but you'll be alright. I know.
Yes this is it.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

Here's some crazy stuff I found..

so  I was surfing around on the world wide itnernets and I found these amazing little gems....

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. 

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!  

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.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!

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!!

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!!!

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.
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

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!

Man-ia de Utube

Watch!
that is all.

Impossible Goal



Yes. This did happen. Amazing,and I don't even play/watch/care about soccer.

Tiny Apartment turn into 24 Rooms



This is kool, but I would never live in this place. Too much work. To go to bed, I got move the walls and stuff? Nu-uh, unnecessary.

Jesus is BA-LACK!

Hilarious. "and if you don't like, you racist"....hahaha

As Long as I got Fried Chicken



funny spook of vickie winans song (which i love by the way), As long as I got King Jesus. (<--check out this video) I can't believe she pulled out that chicken.....


Tic Tock- Kesha Translation 


too funny. this is what you should be thinking when you be listening to songs.

MadTV- RaceCard





how many times can one pull the RaceCard? A lot. I think I'm gonna actually get me one those, one day.

that's it.

PeAcE & cHiCkeN gReAsE!!!!!

Day of WTF?!

Yes from like beginning to the end: filled with WTF?!

I mean nothing serious...these things were just my reactions.....

okay....

Number uno: 

THIS.

Student walks through window of Plaza Cafe (more info here). My Reaction: [laughter]......WTF?!. how do you walk through a window, and how did you not see the big piece of glass?. Like, I get people run into stuff, I mean I'll admit I've walked into like walls before, but to point where you shatter glass,And have to go to the hospital, and receive 19 stitches....no. UMMMMM...anyways. I've told just about every person I came in contact with today, I mean it still shocks me, which makes me feel kinda bad, but I'm sorry, it hilarious. I really hope he's doing well though (I would pay a trillion buck to see a video of this, btw)

number 2: 

Kyle Rowley transferring out of Northwestern (more here) because he got less game play. WTF? I understand your principle, your trying to play as much as you can, so you are going to find a school where you can play more. But do you understand the reason why you weren't playing as much. CUZ YOU SUCK! you have more fouls than ya do rebounds, buddy. I mean it's called like working your butt off. I feel like him transferring he's trying to blame NU, but we ALL know it's his fault. so whatever.....I could be overly upset about this cuz I don't understand why someone would leave NU, esp. in his position (like I'm sure he didn't have to pay for anything to come here, but I could be wrong, but I doubt it)..

tatu: 

This. 

Yes. Booty Pop. I guess my whole problem is not with the actual product, I assume something like this would exist in the world. Wait I just lied, my problem is with the product and this infomercial. just bad. WTF?! 

And also the name. I think maybe it shouldn't be called Booty Pop, sounds like a soft-drink named after a guy nicknamed Booty. Maybe it should be called buy-this-product-that-makes-your-butt-look-bigger-but-it's-actually-not-cuz-you-are-not-happy-with-yourself-and-body-and-you-trying-to-look-beyonce-and-kim k.-when-even-they-butts-ain't-even-real panties. just a suggestion. 

4:

NUtv NOt WoRKing. this just happen like 45 minutes ago, btw. I was Trying to watch ANTM. stupid NUtv thing not working AT ALL. I tried all three browsers on my computer, and even restarted it. still not working. WTF?! now i have to wait until tomorrow to find out what craziest antics tyra performed.

that is all. 

yeah I wasn't gonna update for awhile, but this day was way TOO crazy for me not to let the whole world know.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Vital Information (which is really REALLY stupid now)
Lemonade Stand Girl

I just remember All That being the greatest and funniest show ever, and I wished I had understood the jokes more when I was little (I feel like I didn't notice anything when I was little...). but rewatching it, it's actually funny, not like rolling around on the floor laughing, but I definitely see the humor. and At least from what I saw, Kenan Thompson was in a whole lot of skits, I don't know how old he was during the show, but that was talent for him to digg into is funnyness at such young age. quite amazing from my perspective (I guess that why he's on SNL to this very day).

I began to wonder how this show like shaped us as a generation. like in the show, it really hits at some social issues, and general things that anybody would know (look at me getting all teacher-y). Like the cooking with mandy and randy, like the wanted to put cholocate on everything. or skits that came later like Ask Ashley...or something...

Also watching this, I begin to wonder if kids of today's generation be different if All That (or a similar show) still exist. this was just teenaged version of SNL basically. And like what r they missing out on? Who would be the funny kids of today's entertainment world? Idk. Pretty interesting.

But I can say the show was definitely one of a kind. it just brings me back to a world when life was carefree, and troubles were about a big ear of corn...

And that's ALL THAT I wrote/typed.

A Day at a Dentist

Today, I went to the dentist for a check up, I hadn't been in over a year,
cuz of school and stuff. (as a result I now have 3 cavities and my teeth hurt like crap, stupid dentist!)

anywayz
strangely, people just talking to me that I don't even know.
(and yes they were white, my mom says it's because barack OBAMA is president..but idunno..)

they just made me wanna say: "B!%^#, I don't know your life!"
(Total inside joke: check out clip here)

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!"



and then when she was leaving she was like "I like the stitching on your pants" ( I was wearing my pants
with pants on them, which I always get complements/comments on....i mean everytime I wear them). I am just like why are you talking to me lady, I really don't care if  you like my pants.

and then this old man (who was apparently over 70, he definitely didn't look like it) was having his teeth pulled.  he just talking to me about how people don't like to come to the denstist, and the weather, and how much I should take care of my teeth, and blah blah blah. and I just wanted to be like "I Don't know you! why r you talking to me!!! B!%^#, I don't know your life!"

and then I finally get to the dentist chair, and the hygentist lady hurt the mess outta my teeth. and she just talking to me  ( getting all up in my business..). and I'm like "We can't have conversation if you sticking stuff in my mouth and stuff" (that sounds nasty...hahaha)

I don't know if anybody got an answer to this but why these people was talking to me? Was they just being nice, and why??? Why they had to be so interested in telling me they business...cuz I really didn't care
I mean, I don't know them at all! I think it was just annoying to me cuz I was up so early (10 am) and didn't want to be bothered.

some other interesting things from today dentist visit:
my dentist actually went to the Dental school at NU before they closed it.
and the other guy dentist actually went to undegrad at NU so that was really kool.
Northwestern's all around...so awesome...

yeah interesting day at the dentist.
maybe I should go more often.

Movie Rambling

Wowzers,
Haven't done this in a while................
but you know the cold, and snowy conditions cause for one to watch many, many movies......
all though I only have 4 to talk about.

1. Hearts and Souls



This one is a classic, well a childhood classic. It came out in 1993. Starring Robert Downey Jr, Alfre Woodard, Kyra Sedgwick, and two other white guys I don't know the names of. I won't give away too much of the movie, actually I won't tell you what its about. But this is the movie that made me love Robert Downey Jr, Alfre Woodard and B.B. King. Ahh I love this movie. It makes me cry, laugh, sing, and leaves me with a warm feeling inside. So, watch it!

wait, this movie always makes me think of this song (clip from the film)

2. G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra



Pretty kool film, I guess, not the best, I think this is probably a good movie to see in surround sound or something, because its just like action the whole time I feel. It is basically about these two guys who become apart of the G.I. Joes. not much I can say. Stars Channing Tatum (who needs a little bit more acting experience, really) and Marlon Wayans, def. one of his more serious roles, I guess. I mean the movie kinda made me wanted to see a sequel. I'm expecting something great to come afterward, but i doubt it will be any good.

3. The Book of Eli


saw this on a whim, totally unplanned. This was a great film. If you've seen the trailer or anything about the movie, it's totally not that. I was really surprised that it turned into a "Christian" film. I mean after viewing the trailer, I thought it was just another Denzel movie where he's killing people. But it's totally different than that. It's has a purpose to it all. It really touched my heart, but I wished it coulda been a little shorter. Great movie though, all though I doubt Denzel will get any Oscars for it (that what happens when you try to make a movie with a Christian message I guess)


4. Dance Flick

you would probably be totally fine if you never see this movie in your life. I admit some parts were funny, and it was great how they made fun of so many movies in one, but it just didn't seem really coherent, some transitions could've been better, and then end left me feeling so empty. The star character though, Damon Wayans, Jr. definitely has some potential to be funny, like its aunties and uncles, I totally see it. So I am excited to see him do more comedy, but this movie could have been done so much better......

yes. that is all the movie....
hope you watch them, or maybe not.......
i don't really care......

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

Youtube Vid-joes!

It's time for some Youtube Vid-joes!
(they're kinda like Sloppy Joes, but much more flavorful......)

this is like a random mix of stuff, mostly people singing stuff though......
hope thou enjoy-eth this!
------------------------------------------------
1. Douglas Miller- My Soul Has Been Anchored.


This song is like one of the gospel songs of my childhood. Just a timeless classic. I love Douglas Miller's voice, so full and rich. yeah.

2. Areatha Franklin - Touch My Body.



I found this mess on crunktastical.net. Now Areatha-ra , you know 1) you too old to singing this 2) don't NOBODY wanna touch yo body. It's bad enough Mariah Carey was singing this ish........uh-uh....

3. Great is the Lord- Dorinda Clark-Cole



I think outta all the Clark Sisters, I love Dorinda's voice the most. It's like raspy, yet strong. And this song just takes me higher, and higher....because He is great.

4. Pink- Stupid Girls


Pink makes fun of Beyonce. Hilarious, and interesting. Will Beyonce retaliate by dying her hair pink?....I don't know. We shall see.

5. 1 priest 1 nun reaction



I learned my lesson after 2 girls 1 cup. I will never watch this 1 priest 1 nun thing. But AfricanoBoi's reaction is too hilarious, I was cracking up like crazy. I'm still wondering why he just didn't  turn it off. His face at the end was really scary......

6. Jazmine Sullivan - "Home" @ age 11!



In the beginning she definitely sounded eleven but by the end I was like what?!. Those runs were ridiculous. I couldn't even imagine myself singing that good now. Chica got a gift.


That 'tis all.

Old Drawings

I'll just post a couple (means like four or five), similar to the poems, but I think some of these drawing go even back to junior high. Not sure.

I wish I could've scanned them. But this pictures will just have to do.

(I call this one Dragon)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

(at the bottom it say "There is no Mr. Floberg. She just loves to be called Mrs.", btw date is 4/17/05)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(reminds me of the cartoon character Doug, so I call him Doug)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(my favorite of all time! I call him Dino, I think it pronounced D-no though)

That's it.

There's way more drawings, but I couldn't take pictures of them all.

Old Poem/Writings

So after doing accomplishing somethings on my list which currently hangs on my desk ( fixing my resume, editing my placement essay, starting and reading breakthrough collaborative application/process, working on the NCE Website), I remembered I brought this collection of old poem/writing/sketches/drawing from home. There are like mostly from high school but some go back to '04 (oh wait that's when I started high school) so they're all like occurred in high school.

Let's just say some of my drawing was really incredible (should be above this one), but one thing that disappointed me was my poems-writings, like most started off good but then went bad, like real bad. some were like really extreme, like I hated a person, (I wrote the words I hate you). which I don't remember why i felt that way, but I was really scary while reading it.

But anyways I decided to post some of my favorite good poem-writings this here blog. I did have to fix some of them, like I can guess what I wanted to say, but it's not exactly what I wrote, I guess I'll put those in [].
Also if ya can, read these aloud, I think it helps.

1.
my time has expired
the clock has stopped
there is no more sound of the "tick-tock"

the sun has went down
and will never rise again
flowers [have] die[d] and ferociously [been] blown by the wind

heart beats are gone
pulses are no more
the blood [has] stop flowing; life is a bore

the earth has stop rotating
and everything stands dead-still
yet, my glass is half-filled
through it all.

2.
I am
what I be
and forever I'll be that
I'll always be the I
that sometimes changes
to u but u don't define
me, or I for that matter.
'cause I am
whatever I want to be
and that will never change
I'll always be me when
u and them sometimes say
no to I, or me for that matter
I'm here to show I'm
forever eternally, always
the person I am which is me.

-------------------------------------

3.

I wonder and think
everyday: What if the sky was pink?
or What if people were small?
like ants. And the ants would be tall.
Would the [world] change as we know it?
Or would humans be the same ?
There's no way I could possibly get,
Get [an] answer for this game
Cuz I think I'm way too lame.
I think my parents r the ones to blame.

I'm cool
Ur cool
We're cool
Isn't that cool?
Or is that not cool enough?
Am I cool enough?
R u cool enough?
Is that enough?
Enough for this poem?
Is this the end of [the] poem?
or just the beginning of the poem?
Ok, no more poem.
B-cuz I'm cool.
Ur cool
We're cool
Isn't that cool?
Isn't it..........

If today is new and
yesterday is old. And if today
is a continuation of yesterday
is today really new?
so wouldn't we call it
just a day?

Three-hundred sixty-five days times nineteen years equals six thousand eight-hundred fifty-five days that I have wondered and journey[ed] to become me, but only in the last ninety-one days [have I] lost it and [now I am] searching again, and [I] just can't seem to tap back into the way I felt, the [way] I was. But now as a new three-hundred and sixty-five days approach, labelled as two-thousand and eight, I will continue to search until me is found and I can start whole again: One hundred percent; three-hundred sixty degrees, two-pi radians. Hopefully one day.
