Ran's Rants

Well, Michael Jackson is dead. He's... gone. I cannot fathom this thought right now. I just don't understand. How can he be dead? This is not right. The order of the universe is just all fucked up right now. There's something wrong with the world, and we need to pray and hope it gets back to normal.

The here's the messed up part... The world didn't stop!! Like the Earth keep spinning. The clock kept working. Jesus didn't making his second coming. People were still at work! People may have paused for a second, and played a few MJ songs, but is that is it? The Red Sox did not even stop the game to acknowledge him. Are you serious? The NBA Draft wasn't postponed! Are you serious!? Do they know who just died!? Michael Jackson affected EVERYONE on the planet earth in some positive way. He's dead, and the world turns a cold shoulder. This is nuts.

Fuck that, Michael Jackson is not dead. He never will die! He's just chillin with Elvis and Tupac where ever they are. AND YOU KNOW IT

OMG!! Jury duty sucks! Let me tell you what happened today! I'm living on campus for the summer, chillin, doing my orientation / part time job thing. I go home every weekend. This weekend when I went home I found out I had jury duty. I had to miss work because of this bullshit. I had to wake up dumb early to get there. The report time was at 8AM, like damn! I saw a schoolmate who had jury duty, so that was cool I guess. I was in a jury pool. They sit you in a room with many other people who don't wanna be there either, and you just sit there!! On top of that I had nothing on me for my entertainment. I'm just chillin. They presented a little video about jury duty, and then this judge came out and talked about the history of jury duty.

How boring!

I had to wait until a trial was selected, wait for all the proceedings just to be excused.

I wanted to be excused though; no doubt. I wrote on my questionaire "I can tell when someone is guilty just by looking at them." HAHA! The judge asked questions to see if anyone was biased. I told the judge I was biased because I don't know how the guy could find himself in such a postion, and that he's probably guilty. I can be someone who just looks at just the facts during a trial, but fuck that. Then I realized damn nobody wants to be here, that poor kid. He has his fate in the hands of 14 jurors who don't wanna be there. I'm sure that the jury will be make the right decision because they realize there's no more fighting it, but damn, is that what it comes down to? That's why I'm saying to my self and you all watch where you are. Don't be put in that position. Trial by jury isn't fair as it seems. Real eye-opener. That kid was a young african-american male, like me, and all I was trying to do was get out of there. I'm sorry, but I have things to do. I wish the best for the kid. My schoolmate made the final selection for the jury, good luck to her.

People already pay so much to live in this country, and now you want our time as well. No! They should make it an incentive to serve on a jury. People won't be biased, but their willingness to serve will highly increase.

Court is so boring!

YES! Finally summer. No more school. Clean semester for the fall. I'm living on campus for the summer because I'm an orientaion leader. I'm gonna get these new freshmen in! LOL. Living on campus is ehhh not all it's cracked up to be. There's no food!! I'm like gonna die. My orientation leader trainings are only once a week, so what am I doing? I'm working Mon-Fri. Only ten hours a week though! What else am I doing? NOTHING! I'm just going to come home for the weekends. The gym at school is open, so I plan on playing ball. I plan on playing ball when I come home for the weekends too.

My offcial grades: 3 A's 1 P and a C in that economics class. HELL YEAH! I did great this semester. I did better than I thought I would for economics. I did well on the final. I studied and got a really good grade. Whoo!

Wow it has become so easy for me to forget to Blog. I really have to, so here's what's been going on.

I'm almost done with school! I was scared of how my grades will turn out, but it looks like I will be alright. I did well in three of my management classes. I "passed" a dance class (it will not have any effect on my GPA), and I think I got a bad grade in this one economics class. The story behind that economics class is crazy, and hopefully something good will happen with that grade.

I've already finshed one paper and one test. I have another test on Wednesday. Then That's IT! I will be a junior in college! Wow. Life is certainly going fast.

I wanna talk about some music! Drake is offically the greastest rapper alive. His flow is crazy! He may be signed under Wayne who proclaims to be the greatest, but it far from true.

There's a new up and coming R&B artist named Lee Carr. He just got signed to Jive Records He came to my school and performed. His songs are great. He's gonna blow the fuck up!

Chris Brown fucked up! I'm mad at him. He's the greatest male singer alive, and soon that may not be the case. In my eyes I thought T-Pain

Yes T-PAIN

was the second greatest male singer alive, but now I realize that's not the case. Ne-Yo is a hell of a singer, and songwriter. You ever just listen to Ne-Yo's words, and caught a hint of the holy ghost, and mutter to yourself a deep and satisfying

YES.

just like they do in church when the preacher touches on a point. It's wonderful!

Finally one of my final thought on myself: I am one of the world best writers. Yes, I said it. I have surpassed Shakespeare. If you're a college student then you may be able to relate to me. My reason for stating this fact of being one of the world's best writer's is because in college the professors are always assigning a paper! I hate papers with all of my heart! Yet I have to them; by a certain date I might add. Plus the professors can assign any dumb length they want, and the topic as well. Did Shakespeare have to deal with this much restrctions as a writer? NO! Professors assign really a long length on a topic that is a yes or no question! Ok I'm forcing it, but still the topics are usually stupid, and not worth five pages. Now I have to sit and think of content that will fill up five pages. I usually get it done too. (Not to jinx my self) My ability to write on prompt with many restrictions makes me one of the best writers of the world. Point-blank.

Happy Mother's Day!

Life is getting crazy. For real. The school year is about to end. It's looks far away but it's really not. I hope I don't really start to acknowledge this fact when May hits. I'm kinda feeling anxious about the school year ending. I can't wait! I just want to get to vacation, and start working! Plus I wanna start fresh with another semester. Except I wanna finish this school year strong. The Itis is starting to hit. It's just usually that time when a students starts to feel overwhelmed with wotk. It's feels like I'm just kinda running out of gas.

Next school year I've decided to take on less responsibilities. No more E-board of clubs. It's just to much. If you don't check ya e-mails every minute of the day people will really start to think "Oh you're not dedicated to the club". I'm doing a lot of things around the school, and the e-board of the clubs just requires a lot.

So uhh... no.

I do have a few responsibilties such as Orientation Leader and Mentor to freshmen. I do need to do something around the school. I have a little problem in working with groups.

First of all in a group people just start to act all cool, and if you're gonna be cool then I'm gonna be cool! LOL. WTF you think this is!? Don't even tell me to change cause it's really not happening. I kind of adapt to the culture of the group. I also don't speak a lot. I'm not one to recap to be specific. For example here's a cornball's comment

"Oh yeah agree peace is a good thing because every is so peaceful, and I love peace"

Like... SHUT THE FUCK UP! Anybody in their right mind would say peace is wonderful. A simple

"I agree"

would bring me some peace! The cornballs usually try to point out the obvious, and start to formulate unessesary sentences. They don't even explain why they agree, it's just noise. I'm not a cornball. Anything I say usually brings up a new point. Next is groups are usually formed when one person can do all the work. Like a lotta groups in the world are formed, and their main mission is to solve the problem 1+1. So one person solves the shit, and looks like a fucking hero. While the other group members try to find something to do, so they don't look or feel useless. Next there are some people in the group who just get selfish with all the work, they just take it upon themselves to do everything before the other group members have a chance to respond. I'm not one to fight over shit like that because it makes me look like cornball. I'm here to really do this work modestly.

The left hand knows not what the right hand does. (something like that)

My whole take on it is: You wanna do the shit... here. One less fucking job for me.

So yeah I just went off! LOL. Those are usually my group problems. I'm not gonna be on the e-board of any clubs next year, and I'm going to show the advisors I can be a good worker. I'm going to clear the thought that I suck, and have people looking to me for leadership positions. That's my goal with the few responsibilities I have coming up. I'm just going to do the best I can, I'm not gonna do it for the people watching. This is for me mainly, but I hope people notice lol.

Well first of all in site news, I didn't realize a lot of you guys were having to sign in to a google account or something like that. Thanx so much for the comments! I know is hasn't been easy. I changed it, so people can just write their name and their site. I really wanna get back to your sites and comment. I would try to get back to their site, but there's none listed. I would try to go look on your profile, but they're private. Now everything is all clear.

Well it has definitely been a academic week. I had a test today! Exclaimation point? Does it represent happiness or anger? I'm happy. I fucking murdered it. I did a lot better than expected. Of course I sat my ass down on Tuesday and studied for a long time. Then I woke up in the morning. Studied a bit more. I hope I get a perfect score.

I have a 3 - 5 page (basically 3 pages lol) paper due tomorrow on "Is The American Mall dying?" Thank god some student asked to shorten the length because he may have assigned for it to be longered before. I didn't hear how much he said before because I walked in a little late. Like 9:35 when the class started at 9:30.

Plus I have a test tomorrow. FUCK! Mad work. I can't wait until Thursday is over. Then I can relax a bit. I'm trying to get on the grind for school right now. I gotta secure my grades, and just make sure I'm in my B- range. I have this one rediculous class. I hope I can do better in that one, but I'm not gonna kill myself over it. I'm pretty sure if it was a different instructor things would be way different. I just hope I can do well or semi-well. Do great in my other classes and absorb the losses from that one. Oh yeah I have this dance class I really don't care about. I'm taking it Pass/Fail. I could get a D- and it won't be recoreded on My GPA.

Pass/Fail is the greatest invention ever!

I'm a management major. I have 5 classes total this semster. I'm trying to cool my brain down for a bit. Eat. Do a paper. Attend an event. Study. Later!

Damn I haven't blogged in a long time. First of all I don't really have anything to say. I figured that I would just open the post page, and just freestyle it. I thought of that like a day ago. I'm slacking lol.

Ok well first of all I'm off spring break. I like being home, but I don't think I can there lol. I need to be on my own. I just feel things are a lot easier. I don't have to do chours, and I don't have my mom nagging me all the time. That's why I love being in my dorm. It's being on my own, and still having that connection to home.

School is getting crazy. I just hope I pass all of my classes, and keep my 2.7

Ran note: 2.7 is a B- hehe! Setting that goal leaves more room for errors, instead of a 3.0

I'm actually involved at my school. I'm trying to become an Orientation Leader. They assist with the orientation of incoming freshmen. I'm a mentor to like 15 freshmen. I'm on the E-board of two clubs. Manager of the basketball team (I wash the clothes and shit.) I'm gonna definitely slow down.

Speaking of being involved I'm the fashion show of my school's cultural enlightenment show. I was in it last year. I had fun. I'm not attempting to be a model. I'm just trying to have fun. The next three days will be long. I have practice 5-10 on Wednesday and Thursday. Friday is the show and rehearse again before it starts.

Then the fucking after party! I need a cut. Maybe even a new shirt. I pray it's not whack! My school has imposed new policies to ensure security. Before people could come with a regular ID, but now it's only college IDs. Only 200 people will be admitted. It used to be 350! Ticket will not be sold at the door! So people gotta come to the show to get their ticket. I think that's gonna hurt us because people just skipped the show and came to the party. Damn. I do not want this party to just to just have my the girls who go to my school. That's whack! I'm looking for the off campus hunnies lol. And dammit girls and boys alike have the damn problem of inviting niggas!

Girls invite niggas and niggas invite niggas. It's a vicious cycle and needs to end.

I'm sorry, but a lot of niggas make at a party make the party whack. I'm not biased, it's true. Ladies first think they might want lot of niggas there, but think about it.

They're not dancing with your ass.

They wanna stand in the back with their niggas.

Well that's my blog for today. Lesson: Stop inviting gay niggas aka "thug niggas" to parties. In fact they're the reason why the policy changed! Damn.
