My Must-Read recommendation of the week!

I love these "Of the week" things, it's such a catchy ending to a title! Anyways, my must read recommendation of the week is the webcomic "Dr. Mcninja." Written and drawn by the incredible Chris Hastings, Dr. Mcninja is a hilarious blend of wit, medical prowess, and of course rollicking ninja action. A true must read. Check it out http://drmcninja.com/mcdonalds.html .This is the first page of the first comic series, other series are under the "Archives" Section on the top of the screen. Enjoy!

I wish I had thought of that!

After seeing hwoodo's "I wish i had thought of that" blog, it had me saying

I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT!

Thing I wish I had thought of Of The Week!

We all has those moments where we see/hear/learn of something that is really awesome, and think "AH! I wish I could have thought of that!" So I figured I might as well catalog one of these things every week. This week's thing I wish I had thought of was this amazing rap verse from none other than Kanye West in the song "I Poke Her Face" or "Make Her Say" by Kid Cudi. All Taylor Swift disses aside, this guy is DAMN TALENTED:

"I Got Seniority, With The Sorority
So, That Explains Why I Love College
Getting Brain In The Library Cuz I Love Knowledge
When You Used Your Medulla Oblongata
And Give Me Scoliosis Until I Comatose'st
And Do While I'm Sleep, Yeah A Lil Osmosis
And That's My Commandment, You Ain't Gotta Ask Moses
More Champagne, More Toasts'st
More Damn Planes, More Coasts'st
And Fuck The Bus, The Benz Is Parked Like Rosa(osa)"

I WISH I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT!

my least favorite part of high school so far?

The homework. Speaking of which...

love lockdown for the single ladies. coincidence?

For those of you who didn't watch the MTV Video Music Awards on 9/13, here's a basic overview:

- Russell Brand went completely and totally hay-wire on his sexual jokes and referances

- Lady Gaga had a pretty peculiar performance of "Paparazzi," ending in a bloody, hanging mess. I wasn't quite sure if I should've laughed, cried, or thrown up.

- Other performances, like Green Day, Muse, Beyoncé and my personal favorite, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, KILLED their songs (and dance, for the single ladies).

- Wale and UCB were the go-to guys when things got awkward. They got a LOT of playing time.

But the big news that everyone is talking about is Taylor Swift's "acceptance" speech of her Moon Man. Again, for those who didn't watch, Taylor Swift's video for "You Belong With Me" won for Best Female Video, over Beyoncé's "Single Ladies." Taylor, not expecting to win, was completely flabbergasted (yes, flabbergasted), and ran up on stage and began to give her acceptance speech. Suddenly, Kanye West decided to come up on stage and say a few words of his own. Something along the lines of, "Now Taylor, Imma give you your time, but Beyoncé had one of the greatest videos of all time." He said he would give her time to speak, but right after that the two were asked to go off stage in preparation for the next award. WHAT THE HELL, 'YE?! Do you not have ANY respect for someone who works their BUTT off and is only SEVENTEEN YEARS OF AGE? Let alone a COUNTRY singer? Beyoncé tried to save your sorry face by giving Taylor her time to talk after B won in the Best Pop Video category, but I don't think that was enough to get America to forgive you, maybe even people around the world. Now, I've heard a few excuses from people: "Jay-Z told him to do that" "He was drunk" "He was high." No, he had bad judgement! Michael Jackson (rest in peace) would be ashamed. Actually, nah. I'm not going to think how the King would feel; it's his judgements. So, Kanye, what did we learn? Never talk out of turn, you crazy fool.

blueprint this!

As we all probably know, Jay-Z's new album, The Blueprint 3, just dropped. I had been listening to it continually for a few days though, through rhapsody.com. Genius idea for a website, props to that creator. After hearing a few songs, I bought the album the day it dropped, and now I feel like hip hop has been saved. Think about it: Kanye's 808s and Heartbreak was autotune central. Weezy started incorporating in his guitar more and more and basically almost became a rock artist, not to mention his verses on songs like Down by Jay Sean (or whatever his name is) were completely tampered with to have the autotune sound. And when T-Pain and some other company whose name escapes me at the time made the I Am T-Pain app for the iPhone, it was giving people the power to do what hip hop is doing! Rapping was turning into singing, into R & B, into NOT what it should've been, in my opinion. Then in walks Hova, droppin D.O.A., sayin that's enough. Run This Town shows his authority, and The Blueprint 3 has become the defibrilator for hip hop. (All due respect, there are some other rappers like Jeezy and Nas and even Ash Roth who stay away from that autoshit, props to them.) It's good to see things back to normal. Oh, and who wouldn't want an Empire State of Mind?

freshmeat, day 2.

Here's a little F Y Infomación:

Some things that I say may get blown out of proportion.

Thanks, and have a nice day.

freshmeat.

For the past 3 years or so, me and my grade of friends have adapted to this thing called "middle school." Now, there are a few aspects to this "school" thing. Work, Friendships, and the Miscelanious category of everything else (sports, plays, etc.). Through 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, the work has gotten progressivly harder, friendships have taken their twists and turns to strengthen or weaken, and the other stuff has changed, not like it matters. Then comes the big "moving up." (i like to use "quotes;" should've put that in the first entry) Since 5th grade, we have been taught to be ready from going from the cream of the crop to the littlest bunch. Here's where it gets scary. As of 8:30 tomorrow morning, I am going to be what people like to call freshmeat. Durogatory term, I know. But think about it. When entering, say, 1st or 2nd grade, did you endure any bullying from any 4th or 5th graders? When you were a 6th grader, did the 8th graders pick you up and throw you in the trash can? Didn't think so. Now, i know some of you may be rolling your eyes at me, saying, "This is bullsh**. That type of stuff only happens in movies, never in real life." I'm droning on this point just as a prepare-for-the-worst, hope-for-the-best sort of thing. Having no older siblings, I'm scared out of my 14 year old mind for high school. A couple of tips I've gotten from people include these:

1. STAY OUT OF UPPERCLASSMEN'S WAY

2. Don't do anything stupid to draw attention to yourself.

3. There is no pool, nor is there a fourth floor. However, there is a stairway to nowhere.

4. Don't overbook yourself with clubs and such.

5. Ned's De-Classified School Survival Guide is sometimes partially right.

So to all entering freshmeat, I say, good luck. You better have a copy of that guide.
