some realizations.

So I havent been keeping up with my blog like I promised Id try...uhh oops! Hah. Not like that many people read it anyway, with school started and everything. Anyways, something Ive come to realize since my time here at howard..

I should forever show sincere gratitude to hume fogg. As much hell and stress that it put me through, it honestly was all worth it. The classes Im taking are basically the equivalent of what I did in like..9th grade. Ok...actually, Im gonna take a different direction than what I orginally planned. For a minute I was about to talk about how far ahead academically I feel that I am compared to my peers...but thats not even it, when I think about it. What gets me is the lack of just...common sense that some of these people lack. Imma give yall a few examples.

Just now in life science, our teacher was lecturing us on something, &&she had slides to go along with the lecture. She stated a fact like...imma make something up...'all living things grow and develop'. This statement also appeared on the slide. A girl raised her hand...what does she ask? "Soo, are you saying that all living things grow and develop??" .... -____- I actually said 'wow' out loud at that point. Bitch, what the fuck. SERIOUSLY? Even if you werent listening, that shit is on the slide in bold-fucking-face font. Shit like that pisses me off.

Okay, another example. I take freshman composition on mwf. &&There is a chick in my class that is lacking something major in the brain. Thats mean as hell...but seriously. Everytime we have class, she just asks something off the wall dumb. Fuck, I cant even think of that one question she asked that made me just laugh out loud...but I do remember yesterday, because I sat next to her. So our professor gave us an assignment to print off an article about how to mark a book or whatever...we were supposed to read it and take notes, and sometime last week we had a class discussion on it. A normal person would put the papers in thier notebook to save and refer back to at a later date, right? This bitch raises her hand yesterday, mind you this is a week after we had the class dicussion on the article, and asks "You know that article you told us to print off...do you want us to throw it away??" ...............I had to turn my fucking head. Before I could even turn my head though, Im pretty sure my face looked a little like this --> :O lmao. Imma start writing this shit down, I swear. It doesnt sound as crucial via blog...you just have to be there. Shit. Imma get a better example one day though....

Im sorry. This shit just irks me.

People talking to me while I have headphones on;; Okay, this is probably one of the most IRRITATING things someone can do to me. I hate hate hate it. Like usually when Im going somewhere with my mama or daddy, Ill bring my ipod...well duh I bring it- I dont go anywhere without it! Anyways, I never start listening to it right away, just incase they have something they want to talk about or ask me...so I wait. Once its been silent for a good 5 minutes, Ill start listening...&&my volume is always turned allll the way up. Then out of nowhere, here come a tap on my freaking shoulder. WHAT THE EFF DO YOU WANT?!? Are you serious? So now I gotta pause my shit, &&listen to whatever you have to say, which is most likely not even that damn serious. When I listen to music, I get in like a little zone, &&I hateeee to be interrupted. Ugh! I know Im not the only one like this...hahaha.

Voicemail messages;; I already know whats coming after I write this, but what the fuck ever. I CANT STAND CHECKING MY VOICEMAIL. I hate it. Slick despise it. If you call me, and I dont answer, which is usually the case because I rarely answer my phone because I hate talking on it, dont leave me a voicemail. I will not check it until a month later, I promise. TEXT ME! If youre able to txt, &&everyone knows I have txting on my phone...as a matter of fact, who DOESNT have txting on their phone these days? Exactly. If whatever you had to say was THAT important to me, instead of leaving a voicemail, you would txt me saying some shit like 'call me back, i need to tell you abt such and such.' or 'what time were we supposed to meet?' or whatever the situation might be. Then I MIGHT call you back, but most likely Id just respond back via txt. A txt is guaranteed to be seen, while a voicemail is guaranteed to be sitting in my phone for a good month. Dont ask me why this bothers me so much because frankly I dont know either. Im just saying. Hah :P

Being unappreciated;; Ive been thinking about this sit SUPA tough lately. Okay, I would like to think of myself as a good friend. In some cases, a VERY good friend. I cannot begin to count the number of rides Ive given [&&I neverrrr ask for gas money, unless they offer], or times Ive lent money, or let people borrow things, or stay at my house, or eat my food..lol, I could go on and on. Here's my point. Alllllll that, but in the end I dont get credit for it. Its disregarded. But its cool though!! Lol, my mama was like, dont you let people use your stuff up in dc! I was like TRUST ME, I wont. Even though I wouldnt mind. Thats just who I am! But whatever, maybe Im overreacting :P

People who criticize my driving;; It just irks me to the max. I never say anything, but I be wanting to smack some mothalovas in the face. Just sit back and shut the fuck up. Seriously. Okay, yeah sometimes I might brake a little to hard or run an ocassional red light or swerve a little bit, but as long as I dont hit anything or anybody in the end, or get pulled over there is no need to freak out. Are you hurt? No. Okay then, shut up. Haha. No one is a perfect driver, we all do that shit! &&I admit I sometimes might say something but usually I stop myself because I know how much I hate it.  My mama is the worst at it, but Ive gone off a few times on her so she knows to just be quiet. But everyone else still dont get it. I just gotta bite my tongue I guess, I dont wanna be bitchy :P

Black people;; Yeah, I said it! Now let me clarify what I mean by black people. I mean ignorant black people who act in the ways in which...white people...sterotype us to act. Let me put it out there that I'm in no way racist, lmao. Okay, back to what I was saying. Here is a prime example veryyy relevant to my life-movies in the park. So I told yall about movies in the park and what its all about, how people from all over come to chill and whatnot. Last wednesday was the first official mitp, even though it 'officially' got rained out. So basically all it was was a wholeee buncha teenagers chilling by the parthenon and in the fields. Let me shorten this story....my friends and I had all went to mickey dee's. On the way back toward the parthenon, we suddenly hear screaming and witness a huge group of people running away from the parthenon frantically. First thought, somebody about to shoot. We hesitate because obviously we dont wanna run into a shooting. After about 10 seconds of no gunfire we figure its safe and start running toward the commotion. Turns out a rap battle most likely held by some children [by children I mean people still in highschool] had turned too personal I guess and the dudes started fighting. Let me tellll you, the police came out the woodwork too quick and evacuated us from the scene of the fight...so we chilled in the field the remainder of the night, the police watching our every move, until they put us out around 10 that night. Heres my point...WHY CANT BLACK PEOPLE ACT RIGHT?! Must a fight break out everytime a large group of our kind get together?! Here we are in the public eye, technically we arent supposed to be in the park because mitp was cancelled and the park closes at dark unless a special event is being held, so the fact that were allowed to chill there is a PRIVILEGE. A privilage that now has been clearly taken advantage of already. That was only the first freaking mitp! Gahhhdamn! So because you got just a little bit offended yall wanna start fightin and shit, potentially messing up our chances of even being allowed in the park after dark ever again. Fighting has always been ignorant to me, unless a good ass legit cause is behind it. Otherwise...what the fuck, just drop the shit or take it somewhere else. I would not be surprised if tomorrow when we go to the park, they have the parthenon/field area blocked off or patrolled by officers who tell us that if we aint actually watching the movie, we gotta leave. Then everybody gone be mad and shit, cause aint nothin else free to do in nashville, but WHOSE FAULT IS IT THAT WE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO CHILL THERE NO MORE? Exactly. So if youre friends with one of these ratchet ass black people who just out always looking for trouble, sit they asses down and tell them to chill out, please? Or just stay they asses at home. Not even just for mitp, Im talking about for social events in general. Lets all just take a breather. Summertime heat really brings the crazy outta people, Ive noticed. Geeeeeze.

Sensitive-ass dudes;; No, I'm not referring to gay dudes, because frankly I think gay dudes are the best and one of my goals for college is to become best friends with a gay dude. I'm talking about straight dudes who are just sensitive as hell! &&All my close friends are gonna know exactly who I'm thinking about as I type this. Ok, lets take an example. You and your dude been together for a year and some change, and lets say hypothetically you cheat on him. A normal dude, in my opinion, would be sad about it, yes, but would he CRY about it?!? NO! &&Especialllllly not sitting in a corner, knees to his chest, and in the public eye. Are you serious?! Are we in pre-k? Maybe I missed something. I dont know but sensitivity just pisses me off. GROW SOME BALLS! A negro crying gets zero sympathy from me, unless its something tragic, like a death in the family or something which I can completely understand. Other than that, crying is zero tolerance in my book. It makes me sick actually. UGH.

Traffic;; Gahhhhdamn. Stop, go. Stop, go. It is seriously the most annoying thing ever. I don't really have much to say about it, but just let it be known that I despiseeee it with a passion. On the way home, we were stuck in traffic for about a hour and a half...damn near put me to sleep at the wheel. And all for some doggone roadwork! Couldn't they wait to do that shit at a less busy time of the day and NOT lunch hour? Ugh.

People who mess with my food;; Don't do it. Seriously, don't. One thing that I do NOT play around about is my food. Mainly because I'm a fatty, but also because people play too damn much. If I just paid for something to eat, I want to eat 99.9% of it myself. That means if I offer to share some of whatever I may have, which is a pretty rare occurence, that gives you no right to take the biggest handfull you possibly can. That also means you do not have the right to take the best of whatever is on my plate, i.e. the biggest fry or the best looking potato chip. Hah! Reading this, you probably think I'm selfish or whatever, but I mean that's just me. Like I said I really don't mind sharing, all I ask is for you to just be corteous as to what you take! Now, the real NO-NO is to take my food, hide my food, play with it, or alter my food in anyway without asking or me knowing. I will kill a bitch. Shit's not funny! I see no humor in it at all, actually. So yeah, don't mess with my comida :P

Traffic;; I'm so impatient. It's terrible, I know, &&I really do try to keep myself under control in most situations...but traffic is one thing that drives me INSANE in so many ways. To me, there is almost nothing worse than bumper-to-bumper, tailgate driving. Especially on the interstate. Today my 25 minute commute to my house from school took AN HOUR AND THIRTY MINUTES. I could have punched somebody in the face, I was so upset. Not to mention, also, that the day my car got rear ended I was in traffic, so that gives me even more reason to hate it! Unless I'm in the car with someone who I can really have a long conversation with or who can entertain me or SOMETHING...then traffic can s my d. Real talk. Unless it was caused my a fatal accident...cause that would just be downright petty, inhuman, etc. Lmao.


Jerk-ass drivers;; Okay...so also on the way home today, I encountered manyyyy jerk-ass drivers. Because, of course, when it rains, people like to act crazy and get rude and shit. &&I, on the other hand, am uuuusually a pretty nice person when it comes to respecting my fellow commuters. It just kills me when I'm trying to merge...the other car clearly sees my blinker on...it's been on for an ample amount of time...but as I ease up, they speed up! Uhm, excuse me? Are you serious? I mean, I kinda HAVE to get over because the lane is ending...and you dont even have the decency to slow down justtt a lil bit for about 3 seconds to let me in? Shit like that just makes me wanna scream. That's when I have to get mean and bogard the mess out of them...and I promise I dont like to do so...but sometimes its just necessary! &&That's only one type of event that pisses me off...there are others, trust me...hah. It sounds like I have a lil bit of roadrage....maybe so. Whatevaaaa :P

Driving extremely slow in the rain;; Aite, I get it. I went to drivers ed, I know the whole deal about having to be extra cautious while driving in the rain...BUT COME ON!!! Just because it's raining does NOT mean to reduce your speed to like freakin 25mph...ON THE HIGHWAY! When I wake up in the morning and see that it's raining, I automatically get in a bad mood because I am 100 percent sure that while driving to school somebody is gonna piss me the hell off. I don't know about you, but I have somewhere to go and a certain time that I need to be there. All I'm saying is that if it's raining in the morning and you wanna be one of those granny drivers on one of these particular days, then get the fuck outta my way, cause 9.9 times out of ten, I'm not slowin down. But don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna be speeding either...I do cherish my life and the lives of others. But I'm not gonna let a little bit of precipitation get me down. It's not like it's snow or ice guys...c'mon.

People staring at me;; Shit, I know im cute and everything [haha i swear im not cockyyy], but DAMN! Could you stare me down any harder? Im referring mainly to those old-ass men in places like Walmart or simply on the street. Today in particular, it happened to me SO MANY TIMES! Im walking into Walmart and two cars actually slowed almost completely to a stop only to stare at me. While getting my nails done, I looked up multiple times to see dudes in the checkout line staring me down! It just trips me out soo much because they be old a hell. Now when a cute dude does it, I smile back :P Haha, im dumb...anywayssss...
