I don't know why you say Goodbye I say HeIllo!

I learned from RD095 and EN001 was alot. I never saw my self going to community college becuase of the reputuation i heard about it. College is college doesn't matter wheather it has the name N.Y.U or Howard U or any other university. I didn't expect to make friends but i made a few. First impressions were ok espcially since the first person I met and talked to was Marivin. "Hello my name is Marivin and I think we're going to be partners, what's your name?" I learned to be a better writer and reader which i found ironic giving that fact that i read and write all the time. The stuff i learned in both these classes would have been really really helpful if i had learned it in high school. Everything i've done here has been fun except for Ms. Simon's pop quizes but she taught me how to be prepared which i will use for next semester so thanks for boost! I think i'm full of Dominican pride now since our three Latinas have made me part of their Latino Heritage, i guess the next time someone says Dominican Republic I can stand out and shout like Melissa "Oh yeah! That's my country, represent!"
Everyone has been nice and respectful especially Shirley who have given me a confidence boost in what I wanna do with my life, and if i ever do write a book, i'll put your name on it for a dedication.I learened i was kind of ignorant of places like Baltimore and DC and i have to tahnk Debbie for that. I learned nearly everything i eat is poison and an unclean way. I can never look at chicken or beef again without thinking how it's made. My chickfila paste nuggets still taste good though! lol! Ms. Simon and Mr. Wahl are like a true mother and father of the classroom. Ms. Simon the stern mother keeping us together while Mr. Wahl the sensitive one gives us a break once in a while and gets frowned upon slightly. If they were married, he be sleeping on the couch all the time!
I'm glad my blogs have inspired people, made others laugh, and even horrifed my teacher into almost never eating Chipotle again which is my favorite Dr. Wahl moment besides the fact that he's always trying to rap sometimes. I think he might one day be the next Eminem of Iowa! Just kidding, but I'm glad he left Iowa to teach us and it really means alot to me. Every personailty i will never forget, from Philip's Victoria secret sarcasm (I still think he will be the only guy i've ever met that works there and i give him props for that),cheerleader Brittany,Gucci Man Shawn,and very very weird John! Our personailities are what make us sepcial and if i've forgotten anyboday i'm sorry and your all awesome. So until we meet again which i know will be around see, see everyone later.

Chew on this & King Corn

From reading and watching about these topics for the past few weeks i've learned that the government really isn't telling us certain things about where we get our food. It isn't until we see the close picture we realize the harm it does like the meat industry especially. how so may chemicals and pesticides are being put into our food while we're unaware and so many animals are suffering for it. I'm not vegan or vegetarian but i believe our food should be well taken care of, this reminds me of the book The Jungle, so many horrible death killing events were happening but no one cared to realize it until it was proven or read in the book. I don't want to have to see the big picture the hard the hard way if i know it'll kill me, or even worse guilt me badly since now i buy cage free eggs because of a recent video i saw about what happens to baby chicks in an egg factory in Iowa. After they we're questioned about it, they made it seem like it was no big deal! If your killing 200 million newborn chicks a year, IT IS A BIG DEAL!!!!!!! They even had the nerve to post on their website "We are committed to the humane and respectful treatment of each and every bird in our care" I know animals are put on earth for human use and people say "oh their just animals, they have no feeling, they're put on earth for our food". That may be slightly true but animals do have feelings! But do we have to kill and treat them so badly? It's inhumane and it should be put to a stop. I know we as consumers may have to sacrafice a little bit more money like the cage free eggs i buy now are $2 more then the original ones my parents still buy because they don't want to pay the extra money.

To change this we should all sign a petition and or boycott these industries until they take care of these animals right, it's wrong and the impact will change not only the way we think but what we. It kind of reminds me of this song by Lily Allen "When you look with your eyes, everything seem nice, but it if you look twice you can can see it's all lies". We have to change the way the factories act, it's wrong and if we don't sooner or later we're just encouraging it and it it'll get even worse. We also have to fight for the mistreatment of the workers too , because they're being treated wrong also. Everyone at one point dislikes their job, but if your treated badly wouldn't you want someone to fight for you? We have to fight for others who can't fight for themselves, because it isn't fair.

LDN lyrics

[Verse 1]

Riding through the city on my bike all day, cause the filth took away my license. It doesn't get me down and I feel ok, cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless. Everything seems to look as it should, but I wonder what goes on behind doors? A fella looking dapper, but he's sitting with a slapper, then I see it's a pimp and his crack whore. You might laugh you might frown. Walkin' round London town.

[Chorus]

Sun is in the sky. Oh why oh why? Would I wanna be anywhere else? Sun is in the sky. Oh why oh why ? Would I wanna be anywhere else? When you look with your eyes, everything seems nice, but if you look twice,you can see it's all lies.

[Verse 2]

There was a little old lady who was walking down the road. she was struggling with bags from Tesco. There were people from the city having lunch in the park. I believe that it's called Al Fresco. Then a kid came along to offer a hand, but before she had time to accept it; Hits her over the head, doesn't care if she's dead, cause he's got all her jewelery and wallet. You might laugh you might frown. Walking round London town.

[Chorus]

Sun is in the sky. Oh why oh why? Would I wanna be anywhere else? Sun is in the sky. Oh why oh why? Would I wanna be anywhere else? When you look with your eyes, everything seems nice, but if you look twice, you can see it's all lies. Life, yeah that's city life. Yeah that's city life. yeah that's city life. Life, yeah that's city life. Yeah that's city life. Yeah that's city life.

[Chorus x2]

Sun is in the sky. Oh why oh why? Would I wanna be anywhere else? Sun is in the sky. Oh why oh why? Would I wanna be anywhere else?

[x2] When you look with your eyes, everything seems nice, but if you look twice, you can see it's all lies.

Iris- Goo Goo Dolls

Iris Lyrics

Verse 1

And I'd give up forever to touch you, cause I know that you feel me somehow. You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be and, I don't want to go home right now.

Verse 2

And all I can taste is this moment, and all I can breathe is your life. Cause sooner or later it's over, I just don't want to miss you tonight.

Chorus

And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

Verse 3

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, or the moment of truth in your lies. When everything seems like the movies, yeah you bleed just to know your alive.

Chorus

And I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

Chorus

I don't want the world to see me, cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

I just want you to know who I am...........
I just want you to know who I am............
I just want you to know who I am............
I just want you to know who I am............

Chipotle

For the past 3 days i've realized i've literally only eaten chipotle and I don't know why. I'm not the type of person who is fast food everyday even though it's a temptation, which is y i try to avoid it but i'm probably going to buy a burger later. I've realized I love Chipotle and i've eaten it alot in the past month, i think I've actually spent $50 on chipotle last month which is ridiculous. I was watching Southpark yesterday and there was an episode about Billy Mays(the guy who does the oxy clean commercials) and they were talking about chipotle and it was hilarious with a brand called Chipotlaway, I think i got the point of it though! But I wished it was reversed with instead a product that could keep you from buying it too often but hey if it's tastes good. It's worth my money like when i see a neat outfit but instead i can't use it again as the fact that i've already eaten it. But in general food brings us together and without it we would all basically die. Food makes us happy, sad, guilty, challenged, or just plain jumpy like when when i was a little kid and my favorite night was spaghetti night when my mom would make it special. We may not notice but food is a pretty powerful thing, we should give it a little more credit for that.

Double Duece- Major's point of view Ch. 4

"Major what we gon do today?" my dog Donche asked while i was playing the new sonic game on the sega we stole from that old ass lady's house yesterday night. I ignored his question trying to get Sonic to get the ring in the circle, i grabed my gin and juice and drank. "Major!" He laughed
"Shut the hell up! shit always annoying the shit out of somebody." i yelled and threw the controller out the tv. "Sorry Major just chill." This Nigga knew to never get on my bad side. "Ay yo! You know what i heard? There some cops going round the neighborhood" My boy Satan said.
"What?" i glanced at him quick. 5-0 knew never to mess with me after we done scared them off.
"Yeah, some nigga and some cracker cop". he laughed. "Let's go!" I told my crew. "Where we going?" one of my crew boys said. "To just chill, smoke some weed." I said. I wanted to see those cops for myself, I needed to know who had the nerve to mess with me after what happened to that hoe and her kid. We went out side and walked a few blocks. "Dame! Look at that ride!" Satan pointed to some nice ride. Probably belong to one of them rich white folks. My boy John sat on the trunk. "How you like me now yo!" He laughed and we joined in. Just then some some black dude come up out of no where, punches John and throws him to the ground and points a gun at us. Like i was scared to die. He got John's name too.

"The names Hawk" he says and jerks his head at the Irish cop. "His names Spenser. You care to promulgate the first rule?" The Irish cop says "First rule, don't sit on Hawk's car."
"Any questions?" He asked us. "Yeah!" I called out.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"Major."
"What's your question Major."
"You a white man's nigga?"
"I suppose you could say i'm nobody's nigga" he said.
He seem like one of those rich niggas that read the books, he think he better then me cause he go to some rich white school. Big house probably too in his little Gucci or Prada crap clothes he wearing. Now he got a rich white man running him like a slave, he so blind.
"How come you brought him with you?" i asked.
"Company, you run this outfit?" he asked. He not as dumb as he looks.
"We all together here, man. You got some problem with that?" I was waiting for him to challenge me. The Hawk dude smiled.
"Not yet."

I grinned back at him. Challenge accepted bitch.
"Not sure John Porter believe that entirely." I said.
"He's not dead." Hawk said.
I nodded. "Okay, he be bruising your ride, now he ain't. What you want here?"
"We the new Department of Public Safety." Hawk said.
"Which means what?"
"Which means that starting right now, you obey the 11th commandment or we bust your ass." he said.
"You Iron?" i asked, like i read a dame bible. these peps around here must be desperate to get these dudes right here.
"We the iron here." he said.
"What's the 11th commandment?"
"Leave everybody else the fuck alone." he said.
"You and the Irish?"
"Uh huh." he nodded.
"Two guys?"
"Uh huh."

I laughed and low fived my dog Nate, these cops in for some trouble and they don messed with the wrong niggas.
"Good luck to you, motherfuckers" and signaled my crew out. We laughed like crazy. "Let's go smoke a blunt, this is gonna be interesting."
"Look like ya'll were playing a game of cards with that talk." Satan said.
"We'll call it a draw." I smiled.

Double Duece...

Double Deuce is an interesting story so far and i think the story is real because because there a few areas in Michigan, Florida, Alabama, e.t.c that are just like what is happening in the book. For a group of gang members to ride up and drive bye on a 15 year old girl and her newborn baby is straight up G. Not in a good way, but in a scary way because they are places like that all the time on TV on the new and even the people in the neighborhood are scared. It kind of reminds me of a book version of Boyz in the Hood or even worse Menace to Society which is the ghettoest movie I've ever seen besides New Jack City. All the people in the stories and the movies want to end the violence but are too sacred to act. That's one of the reasons why i will never live in the ghetto, i might as well take my a#% to the suburbs or any safer area where I know somebody. I like the characters though, they all seem like real people everyday who act instead of "fake characters" that you read in the books or movies who are too good to be true. I just hope the book gets better, at first i didn't like it but it got interesting after chapter 3, so thanks Prof. Simon! A real good book so far.
