Well at least one is…Hopefully my school doesn’t screw me over this semester…

Calculus 2: D
Philosophy Class: B
Physics 206 Lecture: C
Physics 206 Lab: C
Traffic Engineering:A

I always do well in my Engineering Classes, but Calculus is freaking hard…But oh well, It’ll be back on the schedule next semester.

So yea… This is the piss off rite here. I woke up this morning rushing as usual, and when I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, I noticed something. MY EFFIN SHAPE UP IS OFF! What kind of BS is this? I wait in the shop for you to cut my hair for over 2 hours, and then when I get in the chair, you fuck up my shape up AND cut my hair too low? WTF? I could see if I come in every week/other week askin for a different type of cut, but ya boy asks for the same cut EVERY WEEK…1.5 inch cut, long, thin pointy sideburns….Thank god I work in a semi-private office so that way I really wont have to worry about ppl seein my shape up. But what happens when I wanna go to the cafeteria? Its 7:19 am…and I have a damn hoodie on…covering my head…My response for ppl who ask why my hood is on? “My ears are cold”. This is beginning to be a fucked up birthday weekend already…smh. Best believe, my barber will be getting a call in a little bit cuz this is some straight BULLSHIT!
*Back to studying for my Calc 2 Final on Monday…*

So I asked the author of one of the blogs I read on a regular basis for some advice, and here it is….Thanks Again Monnie!

This came through just as I was about to shut down. I feel asleep on the sofa pretending to not be sleep. Don’t ask bruh…you know I got issues. LOL!

First you need to decide how much of an online presence you want to have. Do you want to be anonymous or do you want to do it full out as I do. I mean…I have nothing to hide and put it all out there.

Then…you have to decide who you’re writing for. Are you writing for yourself? Or are you writing for a certain demographic? Me…I started off writing for myself pretty much just saying whatever I was in the mood to say. Then when folks started coming by regularly I got more involved in all things “society” at large.

Now when/if you decide to write for other people it’s not as easy to get readers by the “if you write it they will come” mantra. LOL! There are GAMILLIONS of blogs out there so you have to make sure folks know you exist. The best way to do that is to start commenting on blogs. Seriously. Just read what other folks write and comment making sure you fill in your URL. As you continue commenting and folks like what you have to say regarding the post you’re commenting on…they’ll head over to your spot to see what you write about.

Oh…and write something worth reading. LOL! I LOVE Fresh’s writing style and Brutha Code is like family. That fool is HILARIOUS!

Good luck and write back anytime. I try my darndest to answer all emails. Sometimes it might take a while…but I get around to it. LOL!

Hope this was helpful!

So here it is….im sittin @ the barber shop on a friday nite (yea yea. I don’t go out as much anymore…I have to be @ work at 7am..so anyways).I got here around maybe a little after 6:30…n guess what. IM STILL WAITING! As im typin this note/blog on my sidekick, its 8:26 pm. That’s right….what’s the deal with diligence nowadays. Now don’t get me wrong, I sure do run on CP (Colored People) Time from time to time, but this is gettin right re-got-damn-diculous. As im checkin out the dude Fresh’s blog, I’ve had to turn Erykah Badu up on my iPod at least
twice now. I really could care less about what the dude sittin next to me is screaming into his phone or whom he’s screamin it to (his boyfriend, or cousin or whomever) *Side Note:I don’t dislike gay ppl or hold any ill will towards them*. The sound of this dudes voice makes me want to go temporarily deaf..he half whines (like keith sweat)/half talks* Anyways, this nigga is sittin in the waitin area like he’s at his Aunt Fannies house just chillin…feet up on the chairs n what not…So my barber just told me that I’m up next after the dude that just walked in about 30 mins ago….now we’ll see how long this’ll take…So here’s my question. If you have to wait for an extended period of time at any particular place, what do you do to pass the time?
