Goddamn you half-Japanese girls
Do it to me every time
Oh, the redhead said you shred the cello
And I’m jello, baby
You won’t talk, won’t look, won’t think of me
I’m the epitome of Public Enemy
Why you wanna go and do me like that?
Come down on the street and dance with me

I’m a lot like you so please
Hello, I’m here, I’m waiting
I think I’d be good for you
And you’d be good for me

right now its raining and all i wanna do is play video games.  but my suitemate’s girlfriend is posted up in the living room.  i cant even play my own playstation on my own tv on my own couch in my own living room.  cuz if i tell her im gonna play video games shell yell at me and things will get bad.  and im unconfrontational but seriously this shit is getting wack.

p.s. quadfest this weekend was crazy.  when i remember all the details ill fill you in

today i put down my security deposit on my apartment.  thats a big weight off my shoulders

sooo stressed.  seriously, being an adult sucks.  i just want life to be simple.  oh but i did decide what i want to do when i grow up.  i want to be a family reunion planner when i grow up

i heard this really awesome song today.  its called no handlebars by the flowbots.  the structure is kind of wierd but i really like it and its meaning.

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handlebars

No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handlebars

No handlebars

Look at me, look at me

hands in the air like it’s good to be

ALIVE

and I’m a famous rapper

even when the paths’re all crookedy

I can show you how to do-si-do

I can show you how to scratch a record

I can take apart the remote control

And I can almost put it back together

I can tie a knot in a cherry stem

I can tell you about Leif Ericson

I know all the words to “De Colores”

And “I’m Proud to be an American”

Me and my friend saw a platypus

Me and my friend made a comic book

And guess how long it took

I can do anything that I want cuz, look:

I can keep rhythm with no metronome

No metronome

No metronome

I can see your face on the telephone

On the telephone

On the telephone

Look at me

Look at me

Just called to say that it’s good to be

ALIVE

In such a small world

All curled up with a book to read

I can raise funds open up a thrift store

I can make a living off a magazine

I can design an engine sixty four

Miles to a gallon of gasoline

I can make new antibiotics

I can make computers survive aquatic conditions

I know how to run a business

And I can make you wanna buy a product

Movers shakers and producers

Me and my friends understand the future

I see the strings that control the systems

I can do anything with no assistance

I can change the nation with a microphone

With a microphone

With a microphone

I can split the atoms of a molecule

Of a molecule

Of a molecule

Look at me

Look at me

Driving and I won’t stop

And it feels so good to be

Alive and on top

My reach is global

My tower secure

My cause is noble

My power is pure

I can hand out a million vaccinations

Or let’em all die in exasperation

Have’em all grilled leavin lacerations

Have’em all killed by assassination

I can make anybody go to prison

Just because I don’t like’em and

I can do anything with no permission

I have it all under my command

I can guide a missile by satellite

By satellite

By satellite

and I can hit a target through a telescope

Through a telescope

Through a telescope

and I can end the planet in a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

In a holocaust

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handle bars

No handlebars

I can ride my bike with no handlebars

No handlebars

so yesterday i got the ultimate standup.  my friend who i worked with came up to vcu to see me.  we were gonna hangout, grab some dinner, party, and then shed go home tomorrow.  i wasnt interested in her or anything i just wanted to chill.  well she showed up around 5.  we went to bell isle for a lil bit and returned, upon which she said she was gonna go see her friend for bout an hour.  well 10 o’clock rolls around and i still dont hear from her.  im with my friends drinkin and were gettin ready to go out, so i text her and call her but get no response.  havent heard from her still.  i hope something bad didnt happen.  but i think she just ditched me which really sucks.  cuz i would never do that to someone

i dont like this new layout.  im usually happy that no one reads this.  but sometimes i wish someone did.  cuz every now and then i could use a little feedback.  this weekend i have many options but idk what to do.  i could go home and party it up with some friends.  i could stay here.  i could go to d.c. and hangout with my mom.  i could go to radford and tech.  or i could go to jmu.  sometimes having a lot of options really sucks

so last night i felt like shit.  i walked in the rain a lot.  i broke some dudes table that im now having to pay 80 bucks for.  but yet i still couldnt be happier at the moment.  and yes its cuz of a girl.

so today i went to short pump with some folks.  got a really sweet pair of shades.  but sitting in one of the shoe stores i realized that girls ruined sperry’s.  now being around boats my whole life, ive loved the convenience and purpose of sperry’s (boat shoes) and used to be able to get them for only like 20 bucks.  well all of a sudden girls have made them into some sort of fashion item, instead of purposeful.  i mean why would a girl want a piece of clothing thats functionable though right?  well now theyre 50 bucks.  and it sucks.  cuz my sperry’s are goin to hell and i wanna be able to buy another pair for only 20 bucks

Wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine.

Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as
effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing
bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm
on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing everyday that scares you

Sing

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with
people who are reckless with yours.

Floss

Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes
you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with
yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you
succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe
you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky
chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t
congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your
choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body,
use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever
own..

Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.

(Brother and sister together we’ll make it through
Someday your spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you’ve been hurting, but I know I’ve been waiting to be there
for you. And I’ll be there, just helping you out, whenever I can.
Everybody’s free.)

Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for
good.

Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you
should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and
lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you
knew when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live
in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will
philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund,
maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one
might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you’re 40, it will
look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who
supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the
ugly parts and recycling it for more than
it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…
