Exploits of a Virgin

As you can tell if you know my history that I've done it a few times. I'm finding my flow and i'm told you get better as you continue. I'm definitely not as experienced as the majority of people in my field. I'm referring to blogging. I'm new at blogging Yeah I did that on purpose. But anyway I'm in the process of creating a blog list. I'll figure that out. I'm kind of on a slow computer right now and so I really can't follow the youtube tutorial. As a matter of fact i'm listening to my boy Marlon sing Mariah Carey in the next room as I try to concentrate.


I realized that my flight to Nassau is on the July 5 and not the 7th. It's good that I'll be in Nassau longer than I expected. It sucks because a friend of mine had been talking about her birthday and I had hoped to get some people together for her. Since she flys in from ATL on the 6th I expected to get something going later that day. I'll make up for it later. Ahh it also sucks because I have less time to get things together. Not close to finish packing. I'm moving out of my apartment and into a new one.


In other news, another one of my buddies got married today. Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Marcus Huffman. I will say that I never been to another wedding quite like this. It really reminded me of the you tube video I'm sure many people saw of the groom that got happy when the pastor announced them man and wife. Multiply that by 5 and you get an accurate description of what happened. I couldn't help but be shocked cuz I wasn't expecting such a level of praise. Marcus told me with his own lips that the Name of the Lord would be magnified. Can't knock him for that but it was defintiely a classic experience to say the least. You had to be there but if you weren't Gerard M. Hall and I will gladly give you a detailed and exaggerated description of the encounter. It was so classic that I pulled out my phone and got video coverage of the highlights. I apologize for the poor sound quality and the moving of the camera but if I couldn't take my eyes off what was going on. Congratulations Marcus and Kenya. I love you both.


Thesis: Let's be honest. I'm going to the Bahamas. I can't say that I will be doing much research or reading towards that. I'll try but I'm not promising much.


Graduate School: I can honestly say that my colleagues in the Comm department are good people. I'm so glad that it's not super competitive and that I have a group of people to go through this program together with. I was privileged to drop into the Weekly Surge and chat with Evo and Alex for a bit. Too bad I was late for work and tried to tie up other loose ends. Otherwise I would have stayed longer. Check out the Weekly Surge Thursdays from 9-noon!!

You all will be hearing from me on a daily basis once I get to Nassau. Even if it is just random posts during the day. Not too sure if i'll have a computer of my own. Oh, I didn't tell you. . . I have no computer. I'm hoping to use my scholarship money to purchase a new one. These days it's hard to be a PR major and not have a personal computer. Well this blog is hella long so I'm out.

Fully Functioning Society

The course that I thought was so riveting is now becoming less of such. This is probably because the questions I ask people just give blank stares as if I'm speaking Chinese, African what have you. I think it is more of a self-confidence thing. I have a high need for feedback and when people don't say anything I start thinking something is wrong with me. Silence makes me nervous for some reason. If that last sentence was a lead to an article I would have gotten absolutely no coverage. So glad I can have a forum where my writing is not being judged. My question today is does PR add value to society? Should it seek to help make society fully functional? We can see now that the consequences of a corporate culture of greed and self interest is finally bearing bitter fruit for so many industries. So now the public is demanding that CSR be the very core of business. But beyond that should PR seek an orientation to make society fully functional? This was the argument in class tonight.

This One's For The Ladies

To give some context to this statement I'll tell the story of Ruth and Boaz. Ruth's husband died and she decided to stay with her mother in law, Naomi. Naomi and Ruth are dirt poor and go through a lot of tragedy where they are. Instead of returning back to her family she decides to keep the customs of her mother in law. Naomi has a distant relative Boaz, who happens to be mad rich. Naomi tells Ruth to work in Boaz's field to make ends meet. Long story short Boaz takes a liking to Ruth and eventually they get married. Through all of the struggle Ruth went through she ends up with someone that is best for her. Now that you know this story you will understand this comment I saw on facebook: Hey Ladies, "Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz. While waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for ANY of his relatives: Brokeaz, Poaz, Lyinaz, Cheatinaz, Dumbaz, Cheapaz, Lockedupaz Goodfornothinaz, Lazyaz or Marriedaz and especially his third cousin Beatinyoaz. Please, wait o

The Death of Nick Charles

This is my first post of 2013! This isn't really the post that I want to start the year off with so let's play catch up. For New Years I went to church, shot my first gun and drank champagne with my cousins. I was pretty excited to get back to work for the Spring semester. One reason being because each semester serves as a fresh start. Another reason being because I had a class that wouldn't start until February, so my load this time around is much lighter. I enrolled into an acting class. Our first assignment, and the reason for this post, is to pick a poem that could be delivered in a minimum of 2 minutes in length. I don't follow poetry too much so I chose the first long poem in Black Voices. It's called The Death of Nick Charles by Everett LeRoi Jones, who I later found out is Amiri Baraka. I heard of the author but never heard of the poem.  Not having a clue who Nick Charles was I did a search and found out that he was a sportscaster that died recently. This
