SYRACUSE BLUES -- WARNING, THIS IS STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS WRITING

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 01:31:12 GMT

Yea, I'm here. It seems like I just exist though; not really a involved person. I'm a little down right now because all the girls that I've met from my dorm are either busy, doing homework, or on some complete bullshit right now...damn. I thought there were more things wrong with me, but that's the only thing. It's amazing how a small thing like that can steal somebody's joy enough to the point where they think that the world is somehow against them. I wish I had a class to discuss this type of thing in. Oh, damn. There's another one. This class I have GEO 171: Human Geographies -- IT SUCKS! I've been trying to switch out it into something that would be better for me to take on but it's so many factors that...you don't want to hear my problems; we've all got em. Sorry for wasting your time...and mine as a matter of fact. How counter productive of me, while I'm sitting here being a cry baby I could be looking for some "new-new."

Thanks for reading. I'm going dorm exploring now, maybe.

YEA, I STILL KNOW HOW TO USE HTML

Wow, haven't been on here in a while. I'm at school in the library very bored; the couch is filled with long sleeping bodies too. Anyways, I'm kind of relieved that high school is finally over, yet it's overwhelming. I can remember the first day I came up here and it seems like we had such a better time than any of the previous years; we certainly set the bar for subsequent classes. I'm going to miss everybody. All the laughs, cries, and even the days when people didn't do anything but go off on each other. (sigh). These are the days, and I think, I've known most of these people since I was 5 or 6 years old. LOL! I wonder how older people looked at us back then. Did they see such a destiny in our actions, did they know that we were described in a word -- success? I always wonder and I even want to know who is going to get my student ID number when it's finally recycled. It's kind of weird, knowing that this is a very big chapter that's being closed in your life with no turning back. Just my thoughts...

I wonder how this summer is going to be, I hope it isn't 51 degrees and rainy. They say it should only last til Wednesday, but you know how crazy the weather is in this city. Hell, it might snow on the May Day Parade. haha.

I HOPE YOU'VE READ THIS BECAUSE IT WILL PROBABLY BE MY ONLY POST FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS! CONGRATULATIONS CLASS OF 2006..."NOTHING IS LOST, IT'S JUST NOT YET GAINED," DO IT BIG IN COLLEGE OR BEST WISHES IN WHATEVER YOUR FUTURE PLANS MAY BE. LOVE YOU ALL! :)

You can be dealt one of the greatest hands in the game, but if you don't play your cards correctly, you'll come up short; It's not what you have it's how you use it, so use it well.

GLEN'S PARTY

So I went to tha highly anticipated party thrown by our own Glen. Yeah, Ransom's cousin. I was waitin on dat party for hella long and it was well worth it. First of all, hella Squires was there so we was steppin hard and now the next generation of high school people know about us. That works both ways cause dudes want to be wit it and girls wanna get turned out by it. LOL. Ha. Anyway, the whole place was packed and it felt like we was fenna fall through the floor. It was cool though. The last party until school starts back besides The Vault on Sunday, but I heard that it don't be poppin.

I met these two tendas at the party. One goes to Career Academy and the other one goes to my favorite girl box...Gateway, of course. LOL! Ha. I ain't gone tell ya the names cause I hate when y'all be knowin the people I talk to. Find out for yoself. Anyway, I'm talkin to the girl from CA cause I erased the girl's number from Gateway like a dumass. (sigh). I be up there hellas so I'll find her again. I hope. she looked kinda young tho so it may be a lil hard. Dammit. That must have meant somethin.

SENIOR YEAR

Well, here it is y'all. The moment of clarity. Only 12 days left. We ain't even got 2 weeks. (sigh) And I gotta bring my sister up to the school tomorrow to get her all registered. Damn. This is really the end of being a lil dude, the last year I get to go to Gateway for a football game or a track meet as a high school student. The last Metro Sit Down, the last time I get to see us win at the Academic Olympics, and the last for a lot of shit. A real tear jerker if you really think about it. I don't want to separate from any of y'all, but I guess it's apart of life. It still feel like I ain't done enough tho. Cause the seniors I seen when I was a freshman seemed like they was much better than what we are now, not at Metro but the other schools. Seemed like they was grown, you know? LOL. Call me ungrateful but I ain't got that feeling about our class. We got our strong points but...it feel like somethin is missin. IDK. But...I loves you guys. See you on the 22nd. OH YEAH, THEY'RE STARTIN THE BUDDY SYSTEM AGAIN THIS YEAR, SO IF YOU GET MY SISTER TREAT HER RIGHT OR IT'S YO ASS!!! LOL J/K. HOLLA FRONT

MAKE IT COUNT

LJ PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

Hey, this is some serious business that we need to talk about...Now (clears throat) listen carefully....When I write my LJ entries, I try to make it appealing to my readers. This includes how it's put together, and the topic that I'm talking about. Some may get pretty long, but it's information and stories that everyone wants to read based on the abundant amount of reaction I get from my entries. This leads me to why I'm writing this entry. I'm a little concerned about some people who write in entries that are not of any significance to anyone but themselves, that's what diaries are for. I'm not talking about the quizzes either, keep doing those because they are hilarious, I'm talking about the 'stream of conscience' type of writing that only a select few are doing. I would say names, but I'm not gonna get on that. So...I'm asking very, very nicely to please not take up so much space if you're writing about nothing at all. Thanks.

LAST DAY AT THE POST-DISPATCH

This 6 weeks have gone by very quickly. I remember what I wore the first day I came still. LOL. I don't have it on now, but you get the idea. Anyway I plan to go out with a bang ya know. Leave some type of mark. I'm doing a story about how minors get into 18 and over clubs. In a nutshell, I'm indirectly telling underaged people how to get into these clubs. LOL. They shut all of ours down, what you expect me to sit at home? NOT!!! So be looking out for that y'all in the everyday section of course. I'll tell y'all when it runs.

PIGGITY, PIGGITY, PARTY Y'ALL

Ay y'all Glen's party is tonight at 9 o'clock at Club Legit. That's the corner of Goodfellow and W. Florissant, right by Lauren's house for those that know what I'm talkin about. I hope to see all my homies there in party mode before we start our senior year. I love all y'all even though I act the way I do to y'all sometimes. I don't hate you or dislike you at all, ya know, I'm just real touchy. I plan to be a little more laid back this year, but you still gettin bopped. Anyway...back to the topic, I'll be up at Legit tonight no later than 9 30 with the crew.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY

To all of my friends who got my spirits up about the whole college thing, thank you all a lot. I wrote some of y'all personal responses but it's only right that I send one to all of y'all in the LJ. I guess you can say I spoke too soon because Northwestern just sent me a 2006-2007 application. Thank God. I can take a breather and from just filling out the application it feels like that they're gonna accept me. I don't wanna get my hopes up too high though. Anyways, thanks again you all. I'm here for y'all too since you held me down like the true friends you are.

TAX FREE WEEKEND

I read this article in the paper this morning and if I not mistaking, the tax free weekend starts on August 5th through the 7th. I don't know much about the limitations, but I know that clothes that we actually like are tax free. If you went to it last year like me and Tif, then you got an idea on what's tax free. So if you get ya check this Friday take it to tha mall cause if the tall tees say 4 for $20 it's gone be a flat dub. For the girls, if you go to Victoria's Secret, if the lil pannies say they 8 for $30 it's gone be a flat $30. Y'all know the deal, lol. So I hope to see y'all out in the malls. I'll be at NWP so I can get me some all white forces. I'm gone let David and Ernest do they magic on my old ones.

JOINT COMPANIES

I'm gonna do this one newspaper style since the companies are so well put together with very attractive products for the urban market. It might be a little rough because a copy editor hasn't looked over it, but you'll get the significant idea.

Teens satisfy their own style with shoe specialties
By Kyle Coleman
Of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
08/02/2005

You like those fresh pair of all white Nike Air Force 1's? David Chandler and Ernest Bell, two St. Louis teens, see it only as a blank canvas ready to be created into a work of art. CBC doesn't mean Christian Brothers College to these two, it stands for Chandler Bell Customz, a custom shoe painting business.

The rundown

With the business still getting off the ground, David and Ernest are doing their very best with the sources they have to come up with marketing strategy. They wear the products that they have created, usually aged Nike Air Force 1 tennis shoes that have been made new again with paint, and turn many heads once they hit upbeat locations with an abundant crowd.

Getting the word out

As of now, David and Ernest have done work on the shoes of friends and their own. They depend on word of mouth and business cards that they have created to expand their client base. With the business starting in the summer, there is sure to be more business sprawling during the next school year.

Further plans

For now CBC is only dealing with customizing shoes, but the developing company has brought an already established clothing customizing company out of its pits. The company formerly known as CRUSH 24 is restablishing itself to a new focus and a new name from the same owner. Kyle Coleman plans to get his company off the ground starting in late August and early September by making splatter paint designs on t-shirts, jeans, and jackets.

With these business off at a promising start, sucess is in the mist. You can contact any owner of CBC or the former CRUSH 24 for further information, questions, and ordering options.

I'M STARTING TO FREAK OUT

Mon, 01 Aug 2005 16:06:17 GMT

IT CAME ALL TO QUICKLY

Now that senior year is in the very near future, I find myself scared to death about what my outcome is going to be with the colleges that select me. I just got a 20 on the ACT, I haven't took the SAT yet, and my grades are not all great like Katie's or somebody. I feel like I'm just gonna be another drunk in the streets one day beggin young kids for change for a fix or something. Not to be funny man...I'm just hella scared. Imagine if I went to school anywhere else, I would be twitching or something just because I'm worried about my future.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS...BOP

To me, getting into college isn't enough. I want to go to a big name college and I'm really seriously thinking about changing my major to business management or entrepreneurship. I want to own my own business because I want to be rich. I don't want to have to work around somebody else's schedule and I wanna write my own checks. Ya feel me? I know the path that I've set for myself is good but I just don't feel like it's good enough for a school like Northwestern to accept me. I would really like to go to an HBCU, but they don't wanna hand out money like the non-HBCUs do. TYPICAL. So, I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place because I think I'm the only one that feels like this. I don't wanna be another adult with broken dreams that lives check to check. I wanna ride spinners, I want the big house, I want to retire when I'm 35, and I want a thick bank account. As I'm thinking right now, if any of those things are missing from my life, I see myself as a FAILURE. I didn't go to the best high school in the state to be apart of the average, middle class or working class. I hope things turn out really well for me and everybody else in my class. Not just at Metro, but tha whole '06. We ain't kids no more, we bout to be grown out here. We gettin ready to be apart of the real world and it's not a game. So get y'all connections and networking straight. Good luck cause when August 16th and 22nd comes around...I don't know what it's gonna be, but I hope it's good and successful for all of us.

MOMS OLDEST, DADS BRIGHTEST

Wed, 27 Jul 2005 04:46:28 GMT

NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE THE DAY

My momma is makin me soooo mad. I was gone curse her out and stuff on here but that would be very stupid and wrong. No matter how mad she makes me I shouldn't do half the stuff I do to her here either. But I'm not the one to be tested or provoked. I hate it. She never let me go nowhere cause she scared that somethin is gone happen. I don't even go out to fight, yall know dat I'm the pussy man. LOL. Anyway, I'm gone need my momma to take me out the cradle so I can grow up and make mistakes on my own. This is how kids be goin crazy and wildin out in college cause they parents was bein so protective. I just wanna curse and go off so bad, but somethin is just tellin me not to. We all got our breakin points tho and I'm not far from mine so she better watch it.

UPDATE ON HOW GIRLS SHOULD ACT WHEN INVOLVED WITH ME

Aight look. I'm at a stage in my life right now where I'm hurtin. I want to have sex so, so, so, so bad. It's worse than the regular me yall. I mean, I can't even think straight cause it's always on my mind no matter how i try to dodge it. Anyways, I went to go see Netta today. LOL. she's a cutie, and she was a lil hap to see me. It felt good tho. She was at her Target orientation right by my house and I came all the way from my job downtown to see her. It was well worth the trip. I hope to see a lot more of her in the near future. Netta I know u readin this we gone talk later. ;) haha. LOL.

CLUB RIO AND GLEN'S PARTY

I'm gone try to get me a fake ID dis weekend so I can go to Rio. I hope my cousin will wanna go and I can tag along with him. I'm cool enough. Then there's Glen's party on August 5th which is next week and 17 days from our offficial senior year at Metro. I'm tryna do it big all year like summer never ended, it's just gonna be really cold for a while. LOL.

NEW JOB BROTHA!!!

I'm on the ball in the business world. I think I'm gonna get at least an interview with the Finish Line at the St. Louis Mills. That would be hella tight. I been tryin to get a job at a shoe store for hellas. The manager's name is Bob and he's hella cool. I'm gone call tomorrow to make sure he looked at my application from Monday. I'll update y'all about that. The Post-Dispatch days are running dry like my social life until I met lil Netta...cutie...anyway, they said I can't get on LJ at the office anymore cause my boss saw the picture of Eva coverin her tites. LOL. oh well, she's a BOP. oh, I gotta secret. I HATE PRINT JOURNALISM, IT'S GONNA BE USELESS IN ABOUT 10 YEARS ANYWAY YA DICK, SPERM WIPES. HA. HOES. HOLLA FRONT

Mon, 25 Jul 2005 20:07:09 GMT

KEEPIN MY HEAD UP

I got the sudden urge to go to Club Rio now. I know it's on the Eastside and all that mess, but I'm gettin pretty desparate. I need to get me a fake ID though, that may be pretty hard to do since nobody looks like me that I know. I might be able to buy an old one from somebody wit locs in they hair. I'm gone try this week, the only thing is tho that I ain't gone drive my car to tha Eastside, I hate driving to clubs and stuff. Especially in my car cause I have the most responsibility, I just wanna sit back and ride for once. Maybe I'll go out wit my cousin to some places before he has to go back to school.

I GOT DEM J'S

I GOT DEM J'S

REAL GIRLS GET DOWN ON THA FLO

Saturday had to be the best day out of the week for me simply because I got dem J's and I seen some real life strippers for the first time. LOL. We didn't go inside no strip club though. It was me, David, Ernest, Sherrick, and Ant. We was downtown and we was just walkin around and I wanted to go and stand in front of the WS Hotel cause I knew that it was a party goin on and I wanted to show off my J's. Anthony and Sherrick was bitchin cause they ain't wanna walk nowhere. Haha. Then after a while we saw deez girls walkin out of the WS in deez sexy outfits and shit and then they stripped down to some swimsuits den it was all good brotha. The only one dancin was this dark skinned girl, she was hella sexy but you know I get weak for light skinned chicks. Nothin against dark skinned girls but I switch back and forth between the 2 a lot. Anyways I was mad cause the light skinned girl wasn't dancin so I wanted to leave cause i put a dollar in her bottoms and slapped her a$$. LOL. Then she ain't do nothin else and then the dude ain't wanna give us no free sample of the Pit Bull energy drink that they was promotin after we had stuffed the girls. Tell you bout dem Kappa bitch niggas, they ain't all the same tho, it was some hella cool Kappas like Phil and some of the KL's in that lil room we was in. So after dat I took everybody home and then I went home and was hella tired...I left out that we went to Northwest Plaza cause nothin was poppin up there for real. Holla front.

Kappas are cool, but the Ques rule!!!

Fri, 22 Jul 2005 18:36:15 GMT

THE TELLY

I was at work yesterday here at the Post-Dispatch and I asked some of the other FEATURE reporters if they knew where the Kappas where holding their convention. I thought it was gonna be at the America's Center where the Omegas had it but they got it in the Adam's Mark and the Marriot Hotels. I went to get an interview about how they were involving the Kappa League so I can see what the Squires need to improve on (yes...i am the official OS spy). They didn't really have anything for them but I found out a lot of stuff that was helpful and I can pass that on to the Omegas back at the frat house. LOL.

Before I left, I read LJ and I saw that Ray and Mel was gonna be at the Marriot so I called them to see if it was true. It was true. So I was in a hurry to go down there and meet with the interview people and hook up with my buddies. When I got there, the streets was hella packed cause a Cardinals game was letting out and Kappas were everywhere. The whole downtown was nothin but red. Anyway, luckily I wore my red and white American Eagle polo that day so I blended right into the crowd. I met with the interview people and they were some BOPS cause they talked to me for like literally a second and set up for somethin later in the evening at like 7 30 cause the dude had a workshop to attend to most of the day. After they left, I called Mel and Ray. Ray came to get me cause Mel was too busy cakin. I ended up in this room where Mel and her tenda was cakin like a bakery shop. She was cheezin hella hard. One of dem Mr. Mayham smiles-it never goes away. LMAO. But i got me a lil tenda down there too. Her name is Whitney and she from Syracuse, NY. She's really cute, kinda remind me of Arielle. I don't know why I didn't get her number, I gave her mine. I guess I was so confident that she was gone hit me back. LOL. BOP ME. It's good tho, when I told Ray and Mel I was lookin for a tenda she was like right there soon as I walked out dis lil room that we was in. So my chances is kinda good, ya kno.

So I'mma do the community service thing again today cause it was kinda fun watchin dem lame kids dancin. LOL. dem lil KL dudes cannot step worth a damn. LOL. I was in there hoppin, steppin, and throwin up them OS hooks all in that lil room and eatin up all dey chicken. I wasn't too bad tho cause I ain't stupid. I left my mark tho. I'M GETTIN DEM J'S TOMORROW WIT DAVID CHAAAAAAAAND. DATS GONE BE HELLA FUN. HOLLA FRONT

I'D LIKE TO DEDICATE THE SONG I PUT TO MELODEE FOR WHEN PHIL LEAVES ON SUNDAY. LOL!!!BOOOOOOOOOP!!!

WHERE HAVE ALL THE CLUBS GONE???

Thu, 21 Jul 2005 15:35:13 GMT

IT AIN'T NOTHIN I CAN THINK OF TO DO THIS WEEKEND

If I were any of you I would keep my special friends close because the parties and the club thing is dyin down as most of you know. The only party I know about is gonna be AUGUST 5 @ CLUB LEGIT, GLEN IS GIVING IT. That should be cool. If any of y'all know about anything poppin please tell somebody, particularly me. Let it be a good party though like the swim party that Lauren W. invited me to. Cause I ain't kno nobody there and the girls was extra fine. Can y'all do dat for me pleeeease? Holla front. Y'all know tha celly number.

I'M BEING PAID TODAY BUT I'M STILL NOT HAPPY CAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO DO TO RELAX FROM A HARD WEEK OF WORK

SQUIRES ARE COMING BACK ON TOP

Aight y'all, we got some extra new people and when I went to the meeting yesterday it was only like 10 of us. This one dude and I was the oldest ones there so I had to break in the fresh meat. LOL!! This one dude quit and I wasn't even dat mean, I was just tellin em how it was. I'm glad cause I ain't want no hoe, bitches anyway. Well it turned out to be okay cause I like the other dudes that are new a lot. They all cool and got serious potential.

DRY SPELL

If dats not the most honest and straight forward title that I have put on here so far then I don't know what is. This urge is gettin crazy and almost everything I see is lookin like dey can get it. I thought it was somethin that was really wierd (even for me) but I realize that it's normal. My normal from your normal may be different but I see it like this. I'm 17 and in my teenage prime, having the most fun I ever had, but I still feel incomplete. I just need that one slot to be filled (LOL) and I'll be straight. I ain't talkin bout no one night stand or nothin. I'm talkin bout somebody I can bash it wit until we get tired of it and have some type of follow up after her. It's the life, the allure that's gettin me...

THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING (NO PARTICULAR ORDER)

** GOD **
1. MONEY
2. SEX
3. FRIENDS
4. SOME TYPE OF MORAL GUIDELINE
5. FUN STUFF TO DO (ACTIVE ACTIVITIES)

I don't have #2 and #5. I won't say one is most important because all 5 are very important with the one before #1 being the most important. (SIIIIIIIIIIIGH) If you all could know how this feels. I thought summer would bring me non-stop action but it hasn't given me anything yet. So...its not over so I guess I'll wait it out. I wish some of the cute girls would throw themselves at me and actually follow through the whole 9 yards. I'm gettin very frustrated. It's nothin though, I always seem to get some kind of light through all this thick darkness. I'm gone stop and let y'all comment now so I can keep lookin. Holla Front!!!!!

UPDATE ON THE STORIES

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 15:39:09 GMT

THINGS FALL APART

Well so far the stories are going great on my part it's just that it is so tough to get clearance from the stores I want to be in when the Jordans come out on the 23rd. Most of the stores are not havin it and some have a lack of communication. The only store that I've been successful with and got clearance to is Martee's over on Washington. The only problem is that the guy on the phone said that they only get a limited amount. The up side to the situation is that he gave me clearance to come with a photographer and photograph the shoes a couple days before they come out. EXCLUSIVE!!! hahaha. Yeah, I'mma see it before all y'all. Who's the coolest...damn right I am. LOL. Anyway the other store I'm tryin to get is Street Ledgends since they usually have a huge crowd but the owners have been very busy with other matters. I'll be patient until about 12 pm today before I call back and ask to speak with the owner because the only Saturday that I'm working is next week because the Jordans are coming out that day. I plan to be at Martee's and Street Legends to get my story finished. Pray for me y'all cause I'm really on my own with this. No other reporter is helping me with this. I don't think I'll need it though. Holla front...since you ain't a holla back girl, LOL!!!!! I gotta get back to work.

IF YOU'RE GOOD, I'M GOODER

ON A ROLL IN HERE

I've got some down time now because I've done all I need to do to actually get my 2 stories underway here at the Post-Dispatch. They brought some young blood in here for a reason and I think I'm fullfilling those expectations quite nicely here in the features department.

FIRST STORY

Okay, since I am a high school intern I do not have deadlines for these stories at all. The original plan was to shadow a reporter for 2 weeks and then write my own story for the following 2 weeks that would conclude the internship. Since I came up with a great story idea though that plan was tossed and now I'm doing my own stories to start with. Haha. My first story is called Teens who avoid mainstream attire teceive fire from their peers. Pretty self explanatory right? Yeah. I'm going to some SLPS and some schools in St. Charles to see if people are getting picked on by their friends and others because they choose to dress differently from what's normally seen in their societies. I'm pretty much done with this story though. I already have my opening paragraph and all I need to do now is interview and have a photographer take some pictures.

SECOND STORY

Since they like what's going on in our world so much I decided to touch on a topic that we all love and a topic that's pretty cloudy to our elders. This is consumerism. There are 3 pairs of Jordans coming out on the 23rd of this month and I was going to do a story about the crazy things teens and young adults do in order to buy these expensive shoes that are going to be old news in a month. Now if you had a job like me it's nothing, I'm not doing anything crazy in order to get em. But you may be surprised what some will do to get this and many other brand name items. I'm thinking of calling the article, 'Teen slaves to fashion oppress to impress'. Pretty hot huh? I don't know what angle I'm gonna take because there's already a reporter working on a similar story and I'll have to see what he's doing his article on so I won't be doing the same thing...wow, I just found something to do around here. Aight y'all I'll hit y'all up later once I get this second story underway and figured out. Holla Front!!!!!

Tue, 12 Jul 2005 16:02:36 GMT

THIS IS A PRETTY COOL JOB

I thought I was gonna be missing a lot of stuff during the summer because of this job but everything has been working out great. I've came to figure out that there's nothing to do during the week unless you're going to someone's house and the people that you really want to see are gone anyways. Rather it be summer school, summer jobs, or vacations, no one is at home when you want to visit them. The only places to go for fun cost money and we don't always have that do we, and if we do have money we need it to look extra fresh at one of the many summer events coming up. Haha.

Now that I've told everybody the sad summer news that is so obvious after a few straight weeks of doing nothing but watching BET and playing Halo online here's what I do at the Post-Dispatch....I arrive every morning Monday through Friday at 9:00 a.m. and leave at 5:30 p.m. As a full-time intern I get the full benefits of what an ACTIVE journalist does though. Through my two weeks of being here I've already been out and about with photographers and many of the people take myself and the rest of the high school interns out to lunch. The lunch phase is over but the excitement remains the same.

(So what are you doing for remaining weeks at the Post?)For the weeks up to August 8th I will be working in the Everyday section of the paper. Right now I have a reporter that I am shadowing. Her name is Cindy Billhartz and she's excellent and the fastest typer that I've ever seen. I've only known her for a day but I can tell that she's a really great person and a really great journalist. After two weeks with her, I will be doing a story on my own. I have no idea what I'm going to do it on but I want it to be worth putting in the paper and I want it to be exciting. Also I want it to be something that the newspaper really doesn't have a broad knowledge about. I've already had an article in the paper, but it feels nice to actually see your hard work printed. So if you all have any ideas that are news worthy and relevant to some type of issue holla at me.

THE PAST WEEKEND

My cousin, you all may know him, invited me to take this friend of his girlfriend to Six Flags on Sunday because he didn't want a 3rd wheel tagging along with them. Being the nice guy I am and owing him a couple of favors, I agreed to comply with the "date" without knowing anything about this girl.

THE MEET AND GREET

He gave me her number after vaguely describing her and I called as soon as I hanged ("hung" is not in the English language, a copy editor told me this) up the phone with him. We spoke with each other for a minute and she worked at a pool that was a comfortable driving distance from the crib and I knew the area pretty well so I went to go see her. She's a lifeguard and she's pretty cute too. She's not the girl that I would usually go after but she wasn't ugly at all so I decided to take her..the catch was it wasn't totally my or her choice. I HAD TO MEET HER PAPPY!!!

OH BOY, IT GETS GUTTA

Her dad pulled up at the swimming pool after about 25 minutes of my arrival and spoke with the daughter for a short while and pulled off. She came back and told me that he was going to be back so I'm patiently waiting and getting a good look of how this girl keeps herself. You know, finger and toe nails, ear wax, teeth whiteness, and other personal cleanliness cause I'm the cleanest kept dude that you'll probably ever meet of my kind. Anyway after about another 20 minutes the dad returns and stalls on me for a minute. He acted like I wasn't even there and spoke with my cousin's girlfriend to see what I was all about since she had seen me a couple of times. After all of that the dad, his girlfriend, and the daughter enter the "get to know him" phase by trying to drown me with questions. Little did they know that I was an aspiring journalist and drowning people with questions is what want to do for a living and I happen to know how to deal with it. They asked simple stuff though, how I did in school, what school I went to and I answered within a half second of them asking cause my school has gotten me a lot of places where I otherwise wouldn't be. Holla Front Metro. After that display of unparalleled, on-the-spot Q&A with the parent and parent's girlfriend it was time for the man to man talk with her popz.

THE REAL QUESTIONS FROM HER POPZ

Do you have any siblings? If somebody asked to do the same thing with your sister would you let him? Give me a reason why I should let you take my daughter all the way out to Six Flags? What separates you from all the other "wannabe playas" out here? You know that most kidnappers, murderers, and other sick felons just happened to be somebody's cousin?

I answered every question very carefully because he was going through my answers like a fine-toothed comb. LOL! I passed the test and I got to take her to make a long story short. I went with him to get the tickets and it was all good after that so I thought. The trip and the stay at Six Flags was fun, she's really cool and down to earth. She's kinda like another Rashonda to me but she's not as funny as Rashonda. Anyway the ride back was the true nightmare and no...it didn't have anything to do with her because she is so, so nice.

NO GOOD BRUTHA!!!

My car didn't break down but the thermostat broke. So my car was runnin hella hot but it never stopped. I pulled off the highway to a QuickTrip thank God where there was plenty of light. I was hella pissed cause y'all know that I hate to be embarrased and I just want everything that involves myself and the opposite sex to run smoothly as possible. She was very cool about it though, she even brought me a soda and was about to put anti-freeze in my car. LOL!!! What a woman but I wouldn't let her because I didn't want the anti-freeze already in the car to splash all out again when we opened the cap. That was a sight to see. I didn't get any on my new LRG shirt thank God and I kept her behind me so that she wouldn't be touched by all that hot liquid just in case it splattered her way. Awwwwwwwww...I know, I know. Eventually, I got some anti-freeze in the car and I called my grandpappy b/c he works on cars and he told me to drive it and see what it does....That mug got hella hot and I pulled back into QuickTrip and called the tow truck brutha! We waited for about 30 minutes which is amazing on a Sunday night out by Six Flags until the tow truck showed up.

WHAT A GUY

The guy in the tow truck was hella nice and he didn't talk too much either. He was a normal person for a change. His name is Bill and he's from Pacific. We all were talking about what professions that we wanted to get into and he was talking about towing different stuff. It was surprisingly interesting because it has so many attributes instead of just latching up a car to a big truck. When we finally arrived to the Firestone my mom came not 5 minutes after we showed up. I parked my car, remember it never broke down, we said goodbye to Bill, and took my "date" home. What a night and my "date" didn't complain about one thing the whole time. I didn't even complain about anything until the car got overheated. She is one of the coolest girls I know now and I've only known her for 3 days now. We had a great time and I would take her out as a friend any day. I'd have to think long and hard about pursuing a relationship.

We had wanted to go see the fireworks downtown but it was too late and they blocked off all the streets goin anywhere close to broadway. So we hit the U-Turn and left. I had a full tank of gas so I'm ridin around tryna see what's poppin and I call Zakiya. You know the old homey, and she say dat it's a house party at Donna's house. I don't know if y'all remember Donna or not. Anyways the party was cool, I saw my lil sexy momma Erika there from Gateway. lol. Wit her lil self. I saw LaChelle there too...she couldn't even look at me cause she know what she did was messed up. AIN'T NOBODY GONE SAY HOW SHE WAS ALL HUGGED UP ON LIL STEVE THO. but dats another story, dis about me. So we at the party and I'm tryna catch up on old times wit Erika, you kno she the only girl dat i cake wit for real all the rest of em is just...let's just say not at the cakin level yet. lol. so i'm doin that but her peoples is bout to fight.what a cock block b, skr8 up dat ain't cool so dey get to pourin in the street talkin all noise but ain't nobody throw nothin. but the girls they was fenna bang wit was kinda sexy too. y'all kno i like dem hood chicks. anyway when me, Ernest, and David decided we was gone leave we pulled off and seen dis patty wagon go on dey street. I was like we left dat mug just on time...AIN'T NOBODY GET LOCKED UP THO CAUSE I SEEN THE SAME GIRLS WHO WAS FENNA FIGHT AT THE FAIR ON MONDAY so dat was all good...i saw all dem lil sexys again. After dat we went to see Brandon McGee. LMAO. dat dude is hella hood now. he completely changed but he still funny as hell tho. he had me buggin up ever since he came back to his crib. so after dat dis night was basically over until we ran into Tiffanie. we talked to her for a minute, lit some bottle rockets, and i took Ernest and David home and I went back to my daddy house cause I ain't feel like drivin all the way back to pussy ass North County. It wasn't a firework poppin out there. PUSSIES.

SUNDAY

Today was the 2nd tightest of all days. I don't feel like writin no long paragraphs so i'mma give you a list and you can ask about the different stuff when you POST COMMENTS after all of this.

I don't remember what happened during the day, but the important thing happened at night. When I dropped Sherrick off at his house, David was still wit me cause neither I or Sherrick knew how to get to his house from where ever we was. Anyway, I was goin back towards Jefferson and I saw dis girl sittin on top of the trunk of this car and she was hella sexy. I was feelin kinda lucky dat day and I hit tha U-Turn and I started talkin to her and I asked if it was aight if I pulled over to come talk to her. She said cool so I did. When I had got out it wasn't 2 minutes later and she lettin me feel on her ass and shit and she was feelin all on my hair. I checked her out and shit, her nails was taken care of, her hair was done, ears ain't have no wax clumps in em, and she smelled good cause she said she just got out the tub. I WAS LIKE "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH BRUTHA" David was laughin and after while he told me he had to be at the crib so I took him back, but I was comin back to finish my business too. THIS GIRL STAY ON THE EAST SIDE BY THE WAY AND Y'ALL KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT DAT...NUFF SAID, BUT UH...TODAY WAS AN EXCEPTION CAUSE THE FEMALE STOCKS WAS AT A ALL TIME LOW TODAY. YEAH I INVEST IN GIRLS THE NYSE CODE FOR IT IS PsY. FA SHO, ASK ABOUT ME! So I dropped D off and I went back and some dude was sittin out there and I wasn't trippin cause you could tell that they was related in some way. He started askin me all questions and shit...I lied to him. lol. he straight was blockin tho. he got the idea later on tho and he left. he walked somewhere and I was like WTF where he come from cause when i had turned back to see where he was goin he was already disappeared.

THE GOOD STUFF STARTS

She wanted to kiss me and I was kinda hesitant cause i ain't kno if her breath was as good as mine be 24-7 so I made her laugh a lot. She all good, her teeth was white and her breath was cool and she ain't chew no gum yet. So yeah i did it. I kissed her...no tongue tho but i left a big ass hickie on her neck and her left tite. I was gone take her to the G Wagon but her other cousin had came outside and she was bout to go in. So dat was dat. Her cousin kept tellin ol girl how cute i was and all dat (blah, blah, blah, nothin new). I introduced myself and kinda told her what was poppin and she was like ***CENSORED*** gotta come and play wit you some other time but she gotta come in for the night...DAMN. Oh well. So I went to my daddy house and I talked to my lil chick who moved to Arkansas from here then went to sleep. Little did I kno that tha next day was gone be better than today.

MONDAY

1.)I had went to my daddy house the night before and I ain't have a change of clothes so I borrowed some of my daddy's boxers and socks. And used some of his cologne. I wore the same clothes but I washed my shirt cause it was a white tee. I'm glad I ain't change thought cause I had went to my grandma house (R.I.P) to move the refridgerator and the stove out cause we puttin in new ones after we finish renovatin it.

2.)After that I had went back to my daddy house and called the homies. This time we was extra deep. It was me, Ernest, Sherrick, David, and Briana Starr. David had let me wear some of his clothes. Some cargo shorts and Sherrick gave me a white tee. My shoe game was already tight so I ain't need no help wit dat. GOOD LOOKIN OUT HOMIES

3.)When we get downtown I parked at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch cause you know I got dat lil parkin pass. It was all police around there too so nobody was gone hit a lick on me.

4.)We only walked for a lil bit and posted most of the time and it wasn't no fine chicks walkin by us. the finest girl there was Briana...literally but she our sister man so we couldn't do nothin if we wanted. The day wasn't over tho. We went to another post spot and it was hella chicks. I was standin by Briana and girls was sayin "I'm gone take yo man" when they was walkin past. lol. I'll spare the details until yall ask in y'all POSTED COMMENTS

WELL THATS ALL FOR NOW PEEPS, HOLLA FRONT

MISSOURI BOYS STATE

Sun, 19 Jun 2005 01:48:50 GMT

1 WEEK WIT 1,000 DUDES

Me and Richard went to Boys State last Saturday and got back today. Basically the whole thing was tight, but both of us got sick and I went to tha hospital cause both my nostrils were stopped up and we had to win in raquetball tha next day so...u kno how it is. I had got hella scared cause they drew blood from me to test to see if I had mono. I was like damn, if I come in dis mug with a stopped up nose and leave wit mono I'mma be hella pissed. Anyway, the program was held at CMSU and my most memorable event was when I spoke to tha governor. I had asked him why he wanted to cut the Head Start Program in a rather "Kyle Coleman" sort of way. LOL!!! The people who ran tha program had got hella mad, but dey ain't kick me out cause I'mma FLY young man...check my WING SPAN. Holla front. So everyday for a week we had to build up a successful and economical state made up of 16 cities. I was in Boone City and Richard was in Blair City. We held it down for St. Louis fa sho and we was thinkin next year Daryl, Chris, and Shabazz should go but Shabazz might even gone be at Metro so we gotta find a justifiable replacement, it'll be hard to find. Overall we had fun, I was the EXECUTIVE PRODUCER of KMBS-TV the newscast and the SHERIFF of my county and I don't know what Richard was...you gotta ask him. We had hella fun tho. I was the only one there wit dreds, i think the first in history. LOL. But the people was cool, it wasn't no kind of racist shit at all, and a lot of people is keepin contacts wit each other. Even the people that had only 12 people in they hometown. Some amazin shit. I'll remember dis for the rest of my life. I'm glad my counsler picked me and Rich. HOLLA FRONT!!!

AIN'T NO LOVE IN THA HEART OF THE CITY

Thu, 02 Jun 2005 17:21:30 GMT

LOVE DON'T COST A THING...IF BOTH OF Y'ALL IS HOMELESS

Yeah y'all I'd like to make the announcement, there's a new girl that I like. LOL! It got me all giggly and stuff but I'm gettin kinda frustrated too. I ain't gettin thru to her like I want to. She got her lil friends and all that stuff too so y'all know that's a deciding factor. She know who she is and we "text back and forth" (if you would call it that), but I'm tryna get it jumpin. I haven't talked to her about it face to face only because of the fact of her friends. I don't wanna embarras the girl and I sure don't wanna embarras myself. So til the time I talk to her one on one and face to face I'll keep y'all posted about the situation if the whole school don't find out before I can reach the computer lab or my computer at home. Holla @ ya boy!!!

ENEMY OF THE STATE: THE SEQUEL

Certain little girls think it's funny to mess wit ya boy and I'm here to let em know that if you mess wit me, you ain't only gone get the heat from me. You gone get it from everybody I know and everybody they peoples know. I'm not really a hostile person when it comes to females but if you wanna step up like a nigga please believe I'll knock yo a$$ down like one. You know who you are too. It's like that for you!!!

EVERYBODY ELSE HAVE A NICE DAY!!!

SUMMER PLANS

Thu, 12 May 2005 19:09:48 GMT

SCHOOL COULDN'T BE MORE OF A WASTE OF TIME

Wassup y'all, I know I speak for everybody when I say that I'm so sick of school for this year. We done already skipped, but we need to do it again, and we always out of class and stuff. Dis be some bull and especially today when TOK gave out that stupid survey for us to fill out. I thought it was real dumb and targeting certain people but I went along with it without any ignorant comments and I answered all of the questions that they asked. See...I'm humble now. Anyways, we ALL need to go to Hazelwood Day this Monday after the May Day Parade. I'm pretty sure my momma gone let me go cause I think my sister is going. I ain't gone have no skrill but it don't matter it's better than being here with Ms. Banister cause if you get caught skippin dat class yo ass gone be suspended for real. This is how you skip her class or a teacher's class who be bitchin about skips;

1.) Have one of your friends, perferably from another school, who sounds like one of your parents to call Metro.

2.) Tell that person to tell whoever they need to talk to that you have some type of doctor's appointment. (If you can't leave the school make sure you say that your parent will be picking you up so you can explain why you're hanging around the school.)

See only 2 steps to legit freedom. Hahaha. Hella easy.

LOOK FOR ME IN THA MAY DAY PARADE

Yeah...the Squires are in the parade again this year and we have no music and we barely got a truck to carry our banner but I plan to be on all girls though if I don't catch up with Kristin. Y'all remember the girl from Gateway I was talkin to for a short while? Well I met her at the stepshow we had up there and we was kickin it off cool for a lil minute, but we just stopped callin for some reason. She had called me one day after a month after we stopped talkin, but I don't know why I didn't call back. I'm hella stupid cause dis girl is bad. Anyways back to tha parade. We gone be up in there so come and see me y'all. We gone be almost in the front so y'all gone see us off the jump like right at 1:00 p.m. booooooo, gay shit but it don't matter we still gone freak the shit, murder the stepshow we have on the 22, I'm gone be on all girls that remember me from the parade at Hazelwood Day (if I go and if I don't catch up wit Kristin), and we might have a party this month. If everything goes as planned it's gonna be all good. And I'm startin my job back at Old Navy, I'm callin to get some hours this Friday so we gone kick it hard Leanna. I know I ain't spell yo name right oh well.

STEPSHOW ON MAY 22, 2005

PLACE: THE AMBASSADOR AT THE NORTHLAND SHOPPING CENTER
TIME: T.B.A.
COST: $10

*****THIS IS JUST A REMINDER, DON'T FORGET*****

THA MIXTAPE NIGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

Yeah y'all, I just downloaded LIMEWIRE and I'm gettin hella beats I wanna rap to. All I gotta do is find a studio and some niggas dat can rap now. I get all of my inspiration from Lil Wayne AKA Weezy AKA Please Say Tha Baby AKA Birdman Jr. Holla at ya boy!!! I'mma try to make dis shit so, so sick. I ain't like everybody else dependin on rap to live off of. I know dats highly unlikely. But it couldn't hurt to try to do some lil shows somewhere for some extra cake in my pocket. The group is called J.R. SQAD (Jr. Squad) after Lil Wayne group SQAD 7 and YOUNG MONEY. You can find dey hot shit at youngmoneyent.com. But it's like 2:20 now and I gotta get my sister and I'm doin my lil Coleman Reach-Out Group thing today. They decided that they wanted to show up this week so I'm gone go. Holla at ya boy!!! Yeah!!!!!

A DAY IN INFAMY

Sun, 08 May 2005 21:26:20 GMT

WHO CAN I TURN TO NOW?

THOSE WITH FRAGILE FEELINGS MIGHT WANNA GRAB A TISSUE BOX

Today had to be the absolute worst day of my life. Mother's day, a day where you celebrate the honoring of your supposed loving and caring mother no matter what. Well, not to my surprise of course this day turned out to be a total disaster. First of all, I tried to get my mom a card and I didn't have enough money. The lady at the check out laughed at me because I was short on cash at the time. I never came so close to murder in my life. It was so embarrasing because there were so many people in line who were last minute card shoppers. So I got in my car and speeded off with tears rushing down my face and I'm thinking to myself that I have to be the most inferior and worthless of all people because I couldn't even afford to get my mom a card or a gift for mother's day. When I get home, I'm still crying my eyes out and I can barely see 3 feet in front of me. When I get in the house I go straight to my computer and open up Microsoft Works to build a card for her. As I'm in the process of making the card she comes in from gettin groceries and she is yelling and screaming at me to do odd jobs around the house because we are having the family over for a barbecue, I was almost done and ready to print when she's at the top of her lungs yelling that me and my sister are lazy and aren't worth anything, not thinkin at all that I could be doing something on the computer for her. I don't even pay attention to the hurtful stuff that she's saying to me because I know that she is going to be so happy when I show her this card that I've made for her with the cutest picture of little black kids huggin their mother while she's crying and holding a card in her hand. Of course I didn't expect anything that dramatic though. When I go upstairs to show her the card I showed her the card and she said that she doesn't care that I made it on the computer and that I had all month to buy her a card and a gift from the store. I wanted to die right then and there because I remember that this past Christmas, my sister and I brought her these boots from ALDO that cost a paycheck and a half from Old Navy and then after that I got laid off. I got so mad that I went to my room and just cried for like the first time in a couple of years when my grandmother died. I am so hurt and I feel so unappreciated that I didn't know where to turn, who to talk to, or even where to go for someone to console me. So there I am lain across the bed crying out every tear I had. She tried so hard to apologize to me, but she kept trying to justify herself by saying how hard she works and all of the things that she has done for me. I don't feel it's my fault that she works so hard because I wasn't the one who told her to be a beautician or work for Citibank. I DIDN'T ASK TO BE HERE when it all boils down. So I've decided after college I'm just gonna disappear and start over with myself. I'm moving to another city where I will have a whole new identity and new friends. I like my name though so I'm going to keep that and I'll stay in contact with my sister because she's all I have when I think about it. After all the fights me and my sister have had she'd never do anything like that. See what happens when you're broke. If you don't have money your family will break up. You read the proof. So my family is here so I gotta go. Holla at y'all on Monday. Peace.
