My accomplishments

I was leaving class today and I a little bit of time to sit and think to myself about what is going on in my life and at this point in my life I am about to finish my first year of college. Beside my sister I am the only to make it this far this is a big accomplishment for me and my family. I think feel confident in my abilities to finish college and make something of myself as long as I do not have any math classes in the future. Other than that I am good. I am happy to be able to call myself a sophomore in college I am happy that I was able to keep a 3.1 grade point average in my first semester of my freshman year, and I am on my way to getting a 3.0 or higher on my second semester of my freshman that is if I do well on my finals. I am so happy that I am able to finish at least one year of college and walk away with something. Besides education there is so much that I have learned from being here in college.

Last one

The last blog of the year I never thought that I was going to see this day. I never thought this day was going to come I am so happy that the last week of school. This is the end of my first year of school and man this is something that I will never get used to this is something that I could not do for the rest of my life. I only have 3 years left and I really do not want to do these last three years but I really do not have a choice so I am like skip it college is college the stories are real. I thought it was going to be difficult but I never thought that it was going to be like this but I am down to my last week and that is all that matters. I really can not wait for the next three years the first one went by so fast I hope the rest follows but still it has and for ever will be the class of 07 on mine but now it is 11 but that is okay because we will make it do what it do.

Duces!?1023

Going home means a lot to me because I do not get to go home every weekend like the average person can I have track meets over the weekends and when I do not have track meets to go to I am again 7 hours away I would only get about a couple of hours to sleep then I am on my way back home. Another reason is if I go home I can get a job and get money that has been my quote/phase all year has been to get money. Again football will prevent me from getting a job and because I will be suck here all summer and I would be focusing on playing ball and that will leave me with no time at all to get a job. Even with me running track I would not be able to get a job all that running makes me tried enough and running track at the college level is not joke. You never have anytime to sit on and if you do most of the time you are not doing something that you should be doing and that is going to catch up with you if you keep on doing it.

Duces 101

I live 7 hours from here and man it is so hard to understand why I decided to go so far from home. I understand what it is like to be home sick I am only home sick because school is about to close and I feel like shutting down but I can not because the teachers will not let me they keep giving out work like it is the beginning of the year I wish they would not do that but it seems like they do not care what day it is they are going to give out work like there is no tomorrow. I a m ready to go and see all my old friends but there are a lot on the line for me if I go home there is a lot from trying out for the football team to making it to regional and nationals in track and doing one or the other of those would really give me more money for school and that is something that all of us could use right now because college cost a lot and money does not grow on trees. I do not have money to spare like that and I know that going home is not going to help matters of me making money, but I do not know about you but I am ready to go home

Duces

And so I goes that the young and great Derrick Rose is going to the NBA Draft I do not know why it seems to be a surprise to all the people of Memphis he did not want to go to college he just can to get the college world hype and to get his name out to all who did not know about him and he did a good of that because everybody wants him on there team. Now as far as leaving he is getting paid lots of money to dribble a ball up and down a court and try to shoot a ball in to a small round hoop now anybody what would you do stay in college sorry but HELL NAW they would that basket ball and have the time of there life all we can do is tell D-Rose that it was fun having you here I wish some of the games would have went differently but it is what it is have fun in the NBA and do yo thang like there is no tomorrow take off and do not look about Memphis did its job and got you the exposures and you put Memphis higher on the map than what it was before thanks and good bye.

weather man

I am starting to get the weather that I can down here for. I like the warm weather and that is one of the reason that I can to Memphis I know about the 28 days of being 100 degrees or hotter but that does not seem to bother me I can take this weather it is nothing to me. I like the weather I like the Barbeque that I have had down here. If anything I wish the food down here was a lil bit more spicy just like in Louisiana The home of the Cajun food that is one of the negatives but the positives out weight the negative I would live in Tennessee if I had a good enough reason without complaining living in the Memphis I really do not know about that just yet I would have to take along sleep and see how I felt in the morning before I would make my decision like that. But the now that it is warming up down here I got a reason the smile because that is all I want was warm weather and I chance to wear shorts. I know I could go some place else like California But I am on the Westside and I do not feel like doing all of that moving all at once and I am already here so I will make the best of the situation.

just another face

I have been here for my first year and when it comes to athletes I see the same few people over and over but the thing is that is a small portion of people that I see and there are a lot of athletes that are at the University of Memphis and I my see like 50 of them at the most everday. I had class with D rose last semester and that was probably the only basket ball player I have seen besides on tv and today I saw taggert and Pierre that was a surprising to me. Why? I could not tell you but the thing is they are not that big of celebrities’ as I thought they were going to the tiger den and they did not have a big crowd of people following them people really did not say anything to them the most they did in that time frame that I seen them was a nod if that much it is funny how we hype them up and they are really just normal people like the rest of us. I see football players all the time and the only why I know they are football players is from the bowl game gear and the fact that we go to tutoring together and they do not run track so I figured that they have play football they are just another face.

Fake A** N****S

A couple of days ago one of my track teammates became an Ex-teammate all because he took of his shirt. I know rules are rules by there are different ways to look at them. You can see rules the were made to be broken rules were made to be followed or my favorite rules are more like guide lines to becoming a good person but anyone of those will do. But when you decided to break a rule and you apologize for your mistake and you still get kicked off the team because you have to much pride in yourself to accept it that is not fair to that person and I think something should be done about it you cal this place a business but what kind of business are you to cut one of your best players. That is something I guess that I will understand when I get older because right now I do not see where he his coming from that is like cutting Randy Moss from the Patriots because he was late to practice and the rules state be on time…Man I do not think all that was necessary but I am only a freshman what do I know but just like Lil Wayne said
MAN I MISS MY DOG

We Won

Kansas is the real team to beat that is where I am from and that is how we get down you can never count us out the game is never over til the clock say 0.00 and as you all saw yesterday that is the truth and the whole truth. If am one of KC finest and if you do not know what that means I am from KC = Kansas City and yea you may say Kansas won but do you not know where Brandon Rush is from yea boi that man is a beast and where do you think that beast people come from Yes sir Kansas City and all we do is win championships. Yea I go to the University of Memphis but I really do not care get at I am out here I aint that hard to find. Take that how you want… you may catch up with me but that aint going to change the fact that Memphis lost to the my boys Kansas. I am a track star anyways so good luck trying to catch me at that so let me do what I do best I gotta run 44-22 duce duce LETS GO KANSAS JAYHAWKS

the countdown begins

Well as you know the end of the year is coming up and most people start to slack on their work and I am one of those people I am one of the biggest slackers in the world. If you notice that I am talking about the same thing over and over in my blogs I am surprised that no1 has noticed that yet I guess no1 is reading my blogs so what is the point of me writing these you know I know that it is late but I am just now getting to understand what people are talking about when they were complaining about this being a lot it is just the topics in general. I know I was bragging about me being a writer being able to write about anything and that is okay because I am doing it write now you see it is nothing to me this story has not plot or story behind it is just a lil warm up for when I got to write something serious I will have my writing on point but when you are someone like me that is never the case you can write till you pass out.

track turn around

I have just started my first year in track and I think I do have a future but I really do not want it because track gets boring after a while and the coach does not make it fun that is the whole point of me signing because I thought that I was going to have fun and turn some heads and put Memphis track team on the map but I guess that is not going to work because of the attitude of everone around me and the attitude that I have about this place but I will try and holds mine down so can do big things and maybe that will help my attitude and the attitude of the ones around me because I am a very exciting person to watch run because you will neva know what I am going to do next. If you do not believe me you gotta come out and see for yourself and since we do not have any more track meets here in Memphis you gotta go a long was to see the champ run especially when I feel good and we are about run the 4x4 that is magic in the making do not believe me check out my facebook video of the champ runnin then get at me

years left

I am happy this is the end of my first year in college I am going to be a sophomore in a lil bit I am hype for it. Even thou I do not wanna be here any more I guess I do not have a choice to make the best out of the situation and I think that the football team will be enough for me because I believe that I will have the fuel to stay here for the rest of my years. I know the football team is not the best team to play for but I just got that love for the game and I hate to quit something I started even if comin here was a mistake. I gotta do it I got one of the fastest forties at the school I know that I can run a 4.3 of faster but they do not know that not because I aint told them yet it is because they do not wanna hear it. Yea I know that I missed the tryouts that is because I was running track you think that would be enough for them to say okay and try to work something out but naw they aint saying nothing but I got 3 years left lets see what happens..

Set it off

Everybody has a set off word. Some of you may already know what I am talking about and know what their set off word is, but there are some that do not know what I am talking about. Most people do not know what means but let me explain what that means. A set off word is a word that no1 can call you and if some one calls you that you get mad as hell. I did not really know what that was until I can down here and my R.A. told me about it but he is from up north and I think that is an up north thing but everyone has one take a few minutes and think what you set off word is there maybe a few but it really should not be any more than 2 maybe 3… 4 is pushing it I know some people that have the smallest word for a set off word and when you say it you will not even know you said it to that person. I know my friend he is black and his set off word is the N word yes he hates to be called a nigga or anything related to that word I met this one girl and her set off word is liar. These words maybe small and little to you but think yours maybe just as small but it can make you go off on somebody just think now what is yours…..

2 of a kind

This is a late blog yea I know but this is about the poet that we had visit us at the rose theatre he seem like a really nice person beside the fact that he really can comprehend some things as fast as others and the he can not remember much. I can look past that being one writer to another regardless if he is a poet and I am a story writer we both go through the same things at times. But he came back up to the campus for an interview and to answer random questions for those who had them and one of the question that I remember being asked was “How the can still writer and produce excellent wok have a slow brain”. He answer something like this “Before I had my brain problem I was throwing out stories/poems like clockwork and now that everything comes to me slower I feel like I have the time to reread things and come up with better work than what I had when I was thinking at 100%.” To me that say that, you can produce work bit if you wait and be patience you can find more than what you are looking for you may even find flaws that you would never see because you are going to fast and you will be able to find inspiration for your next story. When it comes to being a writer you never stop writing and you will never know when something is going to hit you for inspiration for you to put into your current story or the next one you will are looking forward to start.

Ask question

We had a guess speaker in class last week. We called him Dr. Lorde or something with Lorde (sorry about the spelling) but he came and talked with our class, and the topic he talked to us about was public schools and his opinion on them. Really he said that public schools are not bad there are standards that school need to be met and some schools are not meeting the requirements but that is not really the schools fault there are reasons to why the schools are not getting the credit that they really deserve and that is the simple fact that the schools are testing the children before they learn it is a tell me what you know and I will teach you whatever it is you do not know and that can hurt some of the schools test scores if you pay attention some schools give out test at the beginning of the school year and they start teaching from the test scores. He compared us the other countries and show us that we really stereotype some of the other countries some countries think that everybody and everything is an engineer, while we think differently on who we consider who is and who is not an engineer. But what puzzled me the most was his opinion on public schools was the fact that he put his daughter in home school……Why!? I could not tell you that is just some food for knowledge!! EAT UP!!
