TORTS.

So I had a torts exam today (thats my torts book right there)and I felt really good about it. I went in, I went HARD and afterwards I was like...I'm so nice! Tell me why, we were supposed to skip lines AND we weren't supposed to write on the backside of the pages (WHAAATTT?!?!?!?!) I didn't either of those. I don't know how I missed that detail in the instructions, mad triflin right?!...hope my professor doesn't penalize me too much for that. We'll see...

Sike, I'm playin but yeah, Rib Night is every Wednesday at IKEA from 4:00p til close and kids 12 and under eat free from 5:30p.

I Heard Lebron Got DUNKED ON!!

Apparently Bron-Bron got dunked on in a pick up game at the Lebron James Sills Academy by Xavier player Jordan Crawford. There are reports of an existing videotape of the alleged dunk, but Nike Representatives confiscated the tape because they said that video-taping was not allowed (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4315071). If that is true thats messed up. Lebron should laugh at the fact that an Xavier player dunked on him. He should chuckle and say, "Good Job..but I still went to the league outta highschool!" Ok, maybe not that, but like, don't take the tape..it makes you look bitchmade, I understand that his pride may have been a little hurt but, you gotta be better than that..here's crawford talking about the dunk...

Long Live The King

I still can't believe that Michael Jackson is dead. I was in Wal-Mart last Thursday when my mother called me all frantic talkin about "Michael Jackson died!!" I have a bad habit of spreading around information that isn't entirely true, so before I sent a text message broadcasting the news, I checked it out on my blackberry first...I found out for my self that the King of Pop was in fact dead. It's sooooo weird. And the even crazier part is that the WHOLE WORLD is so sad and upset but most of us never knew him personally. He had some kinda power about him. I heard a few days ago that the first boy that pressed charges against him for child molestation confessed that it was all a lie and his father made him do it for the money. bitch. I also heard that MJ was not the biological father to his children. figures-they were pretty white looking. Whatever else comes out about MJ in the news doesn't really matter...he may be gone but he will always be one of the most sought after people...ever. He was kind and caring. a musical genius, an amazing dancer and just...dope. Yeah, he was kinda weird but all the great ones are.

Asher Paul Roth

Look out for this kid. 22 year old Morrisville, PA native Asher Paul Roth got my attention and he's nobody you wanna sleep on. He was featured in XXL's December issue alongside, Charles Hamilton, B.O.B., Kid Cudi, Wale and a few other "Freshman" on rise in the hip hop community. I like Asher because he's the silly white kid who doesn't take himself too serious. I almost feel like I know him...he reminds me of someone I may have went to school with. He's lyrically skilled too, he sounds a little like Eminem but his flow is different. He's a kid from the suburbs and Eminem is from 8 mile...he talks about what he knows and its completely different than anything Em ever spoke about. He has a mixtape with DJ Drama and Don Cannon called The Greenhouse Effect Vol. 1. (Download it at http://www.thedailykush.com/). So yeah...like I said...look out for this guy and check out his mixtape AND another song by him called "I Love College" (it didn't make it on the mixtape) it's the undergraduate anthem of the year...a real feel good song...so for the last time...AsherRoth AsherRoth AsherRoth

Happy New Year 2009!

2008 was a year of new beginnings, bittersweet endings and a proper amount of random moments in between. I wanted to do a 'year in review' post but I'm not focused enough to do that right now. So the most I can do is drop some pearls of advice: Leave the drama behind you, get your swaggers right, learn to pinch pennies to survive this recession and stay close to the ones you love.

Best wishes for 2009!

Terrence Howard...whats good?

So Terrence Howard has a new album entitled, "Sanctuary", and this is one the songs off the album. It's called 'Mr. Johnson's Lawn" and it doesn't make me feel good inside. It's weird. These are the lyrics...

"Count to three and said come on/Round the trees and head for home/Stay off Mr. Johnson's lawn/I'll call you when my daddy's gone"

You're a grown ass man! You shouldn't be running around trees hiding from anybody's daddy...don't you have kids yourself?? And the whole "Stay off Mr. Johnson's Lawn" makes me think of plantations...

I heard that he recorded the album in 11 days...and there's a total of 11 tracks on it. Thats about a track a day!! You probably should have spent a little bit more time on this one Terrence...you're not Jamie Foxx...you don't have it like that.

What you think?

So I was web browsing, cuz thats fun to do...in my travels i ran into this lil video with a character named GO-GO...but I could have sworn it was Ne-yo...but then I thought it was Sisqo and then I was confused....hahahha...but it is pretty damn funny...All i can say is your dude has come a LONG WAY...maybe this is just what the 90's did to ppl....and i mean it was when Steve Harvey still had a fro so it had to be a minute ago...but get a good laugh in between studying and such cuz i know i sure did....

OH GO-GO....hahahahah

Deer Xing

I go to school in Central NY. It starts snowing in October and it doesn't really officially stop until it feels like it. It's nothing that you ever "get used to", you just have to deal with it. One of my friends said that America should sell this land to another country. That might actually be a good idea. We could use the money and nobody really comes here so its not like we'd be losing any tourist revenue. Anyway, one thing I do not understand about winters here are all the deer. Why do they wait until winter to be everywhere?and Why don't I see them as much when the weather is warm? They roll deep too and they always have extra energy and wanna run across the street REALLY, REALLY fast when they see you coming in your car. I guess they're mad that we've intruded on their space and so they want to total our cars and make us have bad accidents. idiots. You're only hurting yourself DEER and you're a bad influence on squirrels too. They see you guys running across the street all fast and they get to thinking that they're all quick and nimble. It's so messed up. With all that said...everybody be careful driving and watch for deer and squirrels.

Do you see what I see?

you owe ME!

Author and Professor Julius Lester expressed his sentiments regarding what white people know and what black people do not know in his November 28, 2008 blog entry entitled, Why Black American’s are Indebted to White Americans. He said that “one of the real ironies of Barack Obama's election to the presidency is that it was white Americans who recognized and believed in this possibility long before blacks”. I will agree with Lester to an extent. Two years ago, even one year ago, I did not think that a black man would be president right now. But to say that black American’s are indebted to whites is a bit extreme. The term indebted implies that blacks owe white people something and we do not owe them a thing. If anything, they owe us..right?? ((sidenote: this Nas song keeps playing over and over in my head...I put the shackles on your feet (You owe me)I think you owe me some (You owe me)The shackles on your feet (You owe Nas)I think you owe me some (You owe Ginuwine)(You owe Timbaland, you owe me) Eff that sh*T!!, can I gets mines?!?!))
Anyways, I thought that an age-old historian like Lester would be on the same page as me. I was also confused by that entry because a few months earlier he was saying that black people knew all along that they were capable of holding the executive office of this country and that it was white people who had to be convinced. “In reality, the ‘first black syndrome’ is an enormous achievement for white people. Since 1619 black people have known that we could do anything white people could do. It has taken white people almost 300 hundred years to figure that out.” (From his June 5, 2008 entry, peep it out). For four-hundred years white people have played the ‘savior’ role to black people. White people have made it seem as though without them we would be in Africa right now, playing with dirt, (not that there is anything wrong with that but you know what i'm tryna say), and so for Lester to say that we are indebted to them for Obama’s presidency upsets me. We appreciate everyone who voted blue because even if all the black people in America came out and voted for Obama and no white people supported his ticket, he would not have won the contest. Thanks yall!!! (but we still don't owe you jack).
