A poem about growing up

I found this in my notebook, don't know when I wrote, prolly the beginning of the quarter...

but along with my last post I think it's rather appropriate...

Enjoys :-)

-------

Growing up, it's no joke 

I remember when I was young 

I thought it would be dope 

to live on your own, no parental control, 

but I realized growing up means being bold

stepping out on your own, facing the unknown, 

Trusting in only yourself and God for strength, preseverance and pursuit. 

Now yeah living on my own may be cool, but is nothing like those days of school. 

When worries where far away and responsibilities were days, miles, centuries away. 

I envy the young, so naive, and unnoticing of all stress and worth forthcoming

But then I just realized my time has passed, no fun left anymore for me. 

I gotta grow up, I gotta live, and somehow still be free. 

I can do it though, even when it may hurt, even when I may be in pain. 

I can grow up, Move on without much strain. 

so I take a deep breath, exhale slowly, jump on to my next journey.   

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!

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!!!!

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,

ya don't even know who he is......smh....

*******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).

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE

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!!!

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

Dorm Life...

is kool, but in actuality it sucks.

so many limitations not enough freedom.

but I'm not complaining I'm so glad to be outta the Kank.

But I wish it wasn't so cold in the E, wait I meant the D, but that wouldn't make sense at all.....nevermind......

anywayz I'm back in the dormitory. My room is larger than last year, probably cuz it's a total different dorm.

It's pretty kool. I'm looking forward to having a great year (a totally getting trashed every weekend..hahahah jk). I only got two year left (YES) so I mi'es well (that's ebonics for might as well) enjoy 'em.

cuz soon I'll be teaching some bad ass kids how figure out x, and quadratic equations and such (idk)......and def won't be as fun as college life..

oh yeha. NU football, we won against Eastern Michgan (barely, 27-24). WTF? what was going on. I'm hoping and praying the 'Cats come back crazy (and I mean CRAZY!) against Syracuse (whose mascot in an Orange or some shit like that..... see...)

(Wtf is this? a basketball...and any orange that has feet is just weird)

But it's an away game so that makes it difficult. We'll see though.....

ummmmmmmmmmmm

yeha that's about it.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!

SERIOUSLY...

I don't feel like posting tonight.

so this is all you get.

I think I might take a break from the blog (probably a week, unless something drastic happens).

I don't know I've been going strong all summer. So it's probably good for me to take a break.

Alright.

PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!

This could actually be random post...

Cuz I don't have nothing specifically to update about (like I ever do)

well maybe

so today, since I was home alone, I do things that people do when they're home alone.
I made a video. It's the beginning of my vlog, that's probably not actually gonna be a vlog.
Sometime tomorrow I'm gonna post it on this blog. I personally thinks it hilarious (then again I think I'm the funniest person alive...i mean really....if people were inside my brain sometimes they would be crackin up...cuz I notice stuff people don't and I find many things really funny) (<----longest parenthesized comment ever!!!)

OR
maybe not

I decided to do some random things...
went to Google typed in Adrian:

1st website Adrian College (I belieive it's in Michigan, the reason I know this is my junior high band director went here, and he usta tell me about it all the time)

1st picture
Adrian Grenier captioned The Sexiest Man Alive

also went to Youtube typed in Adrian:
1st Video

Adrian Mutu: The Phenomenon


(idk)

okay that's it.
This was an absolutely pointless post...but I just had to update or I was gonna die!
syke!
PEACE & CHICKEN GREASE!!!
