Think ABout It
Yesterday my Crime Prevention & Control teacher said something that really stuck out to me
“Uneducated people do not have opinions. They have prejudices”
As the campaigns for the 2012 elections start; educate yourselves and make sure you know who you’re voting for based on what YOU think, not based on what people around you think.
“He’s awesome because...
Thus The Music Stops
Today marked the LAST day of my Song Of The Day posts for the “New College Life” series.
I’ll still have Song Of The Day’s just not geared towards the series.
For the rest of the semester tho, you’ll have updates, goals, pictures, grades & all that jazz so STAY TUNED: Great things to come :D

Think About It
I then fell victim to the same intellectual anorexia that has starved the black urban male for generations. I began to associate the display of intellect with white; which was “uncool” - David Matthews
Think about what he’s saying, why it’s important, and why it should change.

Song Of The Day - Defying Gravity
This is day 11 of my “New College Life” Series and also the day IM MOVING!
By the time this posts, I shall most likely be settled into my little apartment (I published early and put it in a queue).
Now that Im finally here, my MAIN goal is: Prove everyone wrong, defy the odds, and be HAPPY. And with that simple message, I present my song of the day:

Song Of The Day - I Can Do Bad
This is day 9 of my “New College Life series”
Ya know, people have ALOT of opinions about some of EVERYTHING. But my ONLY opinion in life is simple: I can fail & mess up on my OWN. As witnessed in yesterday’s post; fear has killed enough. I dont need extra negativity killing even more. If you’re cut off its because you’re not healthy to my life & I got...
New College Life Series Update

My Sunday Scripture
In accordance with my Song Of The Day I would like to quote a scripture concerning fear:
Fear not, for I am with you; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you with My right hand of rightness and justice - Isaiah 41: 10

Song Of The Day - Hello Fear
This is day 8 of my “New College Life” series.
This also starts a new tradition; any Sunday songs posted from this point on will be whatever gospel song speaks to my current life mode plus an accompanying scripture :D
Yesterday, I talked about not being afraid because this situation is temporary. Today, I wanna talk about saying goodbye to fear as a whole.
Those of you that have...

Song Of The Day - Wasted
This is day 7 of my “New college life” series!
On this note, I wanna say: Im running away & cutting people off mainly because Ive been WASTING time waiting on life to change. I keep shuffling the same crappy hand when I SHOULD be creating a new deck. From August 24th on, Im no longer wasting time on those that are not worth the time. And with that I present my song of the day:

Song Of The Day - One Step At A Time
This is day 6 of my “New college life” series!
Yesterday saw a lot of soul searching. I found it in my heart to apologize & it went haywire and was replied to with a VERY hateful, spiteful message.. And with all that hate spewed at me; I didn’t cuss, I simply said everything I had to say was said, let me live my life, and goodbye… I also found it in me to have a mature...

Song Of The Day - Happy
This is day 5 of my “New College Life” series.
Yesterday, I said I deserve to be truly happy. And not just pretend to make everyone else happy. And im doing just that. HUNDREDS dont agree… But ask me if I care. Im not seeking approval; Ive wasted time doing that LONG enough. Now, im just gonna be happy. Yesterday, I sat down and wrote letters that brought up feelings I would...

Song Of The Day - Breakaway
Today is day 4 of my “New college life” series.
Yesterday, I spoke about being caged. Always having to pretend its all good when its really not. And I noted that not every poor bird breaks free; however, I am determined to do it. Breaking away is vital in not only being true to yourself but also being HAPPY. And I deserve to be happy, regardless of what anyone says. And with that I...

Song Of The Day - Caged Bird
This is day 3 of my “New college life” series
Today is slightly an extension of yesterday. Everyone SAYS they listen but no one really does. They HEAR but fail to pay attention. And thus, you become a caged bird. Trapped in your own, unheard thoughts. No every bird breaks free, but I will. Remember that. And with that I present my song of the day:

Song Of The Day - Listen
This is day 2 of my “New college life” series.
Ive talked about running away… I guess I should put out my reason why. Ive learend that people dont listen; at least they dont listen to the important things. And when you’re not heard for SO long: you stop talking. But when you start talking again; you’ve done something wrong. Soooooo its best to start over, with those...

Song Of The Day - Runaway
This is the first of my “New college life series”
I start this series quite simply: I gotta get out. *sigh* Life makes no sense. I have no idea how people can bluntly mistreat you, sit in your face as if they’ve done nothing wrong, call all of the world and act like you’re the blame & the wonder why you’re angry… LOOK IN THE MIRROR; THAT’S WHY IM...

If Cinderella’s shoe fit perfectly, why did it fall off?
What is another word for a thesaurus?
If you’re underwater, would you be able to cry?
Why do feet smell and noses run?
If you expect the unexpected, won’t the unexpected be the expected?
If No One Is Perfect What Does Practice Make ?
When you have the same class as your best friend.
