Countdown to 27 Pt. III



So far the only thing that is good about this week are my blog posts. I spent all day trying to wire money to a friend who was in trouble over seas just to find out it was a scam. I know, I know, I usually don't fall for crap like that. I don't know why I didn't think to call and find out or even ask a mutual friend. The good thing about it was that in hind sight I saw the attempts to block the transaction. I didn't send the money. I can't believe I was so stupid. Ain't that funny, which brings me to my subject. Laughter is good. All the time. And all the time, laughter is good.

I woke up and bust out laughing out of nowhere. That inspired me do this blog. 27 things that I laugh about still to this day.

1. I won't let that happen to me thoooooo. --Boondocks, the episode with Usher
2. Performing at the Dream Talent Show. I'm with Mike, Willie, & Brandon playing like we had a real gig when all the other contestants were under the age of 18. WTF. It was super unorganized, with corny Christian emcees--those that know me know how I feel about Christian corniness. The talent match was very unfair. I didn't feel good about competing against 5 & 6 year old kids. We killed it and didn't win. I can do nothing but laugh about that.
3. I met my best friend in high school because he and I were dating the same girl at the same time. Our mutual friends told us about it. The two of us met up and called her up and she was history. Strikingly we both had a lot in common and it was a wrap after that. I called him today to tell him how much I appreciate him, and we laughed about this very thing.
4. Anything by Kevin Hart! Alright, alright, alright! You gonna learn today. He said she ain't got no nipple.
5. How silly I got after one wedding weekend that gave everybody a headache. That was actually a good time.
6. At a step competition seeing a big girl make strong poses with the mean mug as she said. DO. . . . . YOU . . . . . . . . . . WANT . . . . . . TO. . . . (you had to be there)
7. Morgan Freeman in Lean on Me: Ya smoke crack don't ya? Do you know what it does? It kills ya brain cells Sams, it kills ya brain cells (As he drills his finger in the poor boys skull) Don't effin' with it do it expeditiously so go on and JUMP!
8. Going to Wal-Mart with the Goof Troop and filling up a basket with toys and such and leaving it in the middle of the aisle.
9. The Luther Burger---Boondocks
10. All the times I've run into furniture, plants, columns or busted my head up against the mic while leading praise and worship at church because I do things with my eyes closed.
11. Everybody in my family reminding my Uncle of how ugly his ex-girlfriend is.
12. How my old Pastor always clapped off beat
13. How his wife never ever said the word scripture correctly. To this day I don't know exactly what a stripture is. I'm not there yet.
14. All Roy Wood Jr Pranks. Them mugs got me through graduate school. Especially this one!
15. Radford Deliverance Choir in 2003-2004. What's to come is so much better than what's been. Yes it is.
16. Deez Nuts! Mis cojones.-- Mr. U.N.I and Profound Thought got me with this one. Asking me if I knew someone named Mrs. CoJones. CLOWNS. Good one though.
17. Ebony Jenkins!
18. Bro. Franklin
19. People getting slapped. Peep this! or this then there is this
20. R-E-A-D A B-O O-K! (edited version provided)
21. Anything dealing with the Flavor of Love Series
22. Reverend Evans telling me "There ain't no damn Earl here" and other foolishness out of his mouth. I was actually highly upset about that but it's funny in retrospect
23. That moment when a person that honks at you pulls up beside you at a red light and you don't want to look at them.

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.

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

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
