Conclusions

I'd like to start by saying that I finally have texting. Unlimited Style. So now I have all those nonsensical things that used to cost me 40 cents every time. Somehow, I feel less satisfied with having texts. IDK what it is exactly, but now I feel like one of the aspects of Stanley Fung was lost on that day. I was looking at my past texts and almost all of the time I would respond to a text with a "Dont text me back, it costs me 30 cents" or 40 cents when they raised it. Then about two months ago they were gone completely, i couldnt text even if i wanted to. I wonder where those texts that were sent to me went. Maybe Germany?? LOL. just kidding but yea, point is now i have texting on my phone, it's really not that amazing, for those of you who text a whole buttload.

After my first Semester at Umass I have learned a few things and drawn certain conclusions out of them. These are those of which I speak:

Conclusion Number 1:
Completely Logical people become irrational as Lack of sleep amounts

People, when they graduate highschool, are at the top of their class, bright as a bulb, sharp as a tack, but when they come here, I'm not sure what it is but they either get stupider or something clicks that says they dont have to work as hard, or maybe they are working just as hard, but more is required than in their highschool. At the beggining of the semester I would meet everyone and they would be all cool and stuff, but then as the term dragged on strange things would happen.... homework assignments would be passed in late, incomplete, or not done at all. Projects and Labs would be half ass and just look shawty. And dialoge exchanged became either overwhemingly about how they are failing, on the brink, or depressed thoughts of dropping out. Dreams were shattered and well as Erik would have said, we're runnin' low on hopes and spirations. Just remember, for those of you goin to college soon, or are just in school. If you want to live out your dream, just remember, YOU CANT HAVE ANY DREAMS IF YOU DONT GET ANY SLEEP.

Conclusion Number 2:
If you know someone who isnt going to be on campus next semester, offer to take some of their things off their hands so they dont have to move as much.

So it's like 2 AM Friday Morning Finals Week, I am done with my finals, but am stayin up just for kicks and giggles. It's my last thursday you know? So Bryce, my RA is a supersenior in his 5th year as an engineering major. He's done with his Undergrad studies so he's not gonna be livin with us next semeseter. Too bad I guess. So Davis runs in and goes "Yo Bryce is sellin his fridge for 20 bukcs" I go ".....................O damn" grab my money from the place where i Hide my money and make my way to the end of the corridor to Bryce's room. We sit, well he sits and i stand at the doorway as we negotiate prices for his stuff. At the end of the hour, I had a fridge full of rotten food, a Bookshelf, and a smelly carpet for $45. GREAT DEAL!!!!! I mean i spent an hour cleaning out the fridge and ill prob have to vacuum the carpet when i get back, but I mean that was wicked cheap. You guys should take advantage of anything like that.

Conclusion Three :
If you really don't have to, dont get a ride from someone else back home (assuming their parents are driving)

Lori, I'm sorry, but yea. Never ever!! The first reason is because the other person may promise you a ride, but their parents may not nessisarily want you there. The reason for that is because their child has gone away for X amount of time and they want some like alone car ride time with them. Maybe they want to talk to them about something, just dont interrupt. Take the bus. it's only $27 one way (Boston - Amherst)

On a side note, if the student is driving, there's really no good reason for you not to get a ride, unless you like paying money to a bus company that encourages you to stay like a child, to go home from school and then back again.

Conclusion 4:
Never Fall Asleep in a bed with your Laptop by your side

I'm sure it seems fairly Obvious but it is definetlty worth saying. The guy that lived next door to me, Endri, fell asleep one day with his laptop on top of his lap and when he woke up it was on the ground, the screen was cracked, and it no longer functioned. Enough Said.

Conclusion #5:
Although you never took your trash out at home, or even if you did, you still have to remember to do it in your dorm, especially if you leave your trash near your door.

I must say, this one seems pretty obvious as well, but I mean, the trashroom is all the way in the basement, and you live on the 15th floor of some building, dont want to do it, still have to. Nobody wants to be friends with the smelly kid.... STANKY!! But yea, just do it. And on that note i would like to add to make sure your Laundry bags are closed, seriously, i know some of you people think you smell awsome, but honestly, your dirty laundry does not. IT REALly doesnt. Just make sure it's closed.

Abschluss sechs:
You will find people that have a lot in common with you and very little in common with you, but everyone tends to be pretty nice give them a chance.

To be honest, in a normal situation, I would have never approached most of the people in my dorm, ever, like i would have never attempted to talk to them. Not to be offensive or anything, Off first glance I might have talked to Tony out of everyone in the hall.
At first, everyone is a little bit akward, and like hesitant to meet people, and then you're in a big group setting because theres like a dorm meeting or something, and then one person, ONE PERSON!!!! starts talking to another, and then you feel really akward, cause you're not doing anything and that person is. You feel kinda bad for that guy he's talking to but you feel an obligation to talk to someone else. It's wicked quiet in the room and you just want to leave, but i mean, you're living with those people for two semesters you mind as well get to know them now, cause i mean you're gonna have to meet them eventually, try to do it before spring semester.
This also applies for people who dont live with you.

Conclusion NUMERO SEVENO (I'm running out of things to write about so this will be the last one) :
People say "Try new things", but honestly, think about what you're trying.

Lori, I love you and all, but there is nothing good about Hummus. I was at shaw's today and i was like oooOOoO Hummus, Lori likes this, it cant be that bad, she's azn, im azn so our tastes cant be that different. So i had some like 20 minutes ago, it doesnt taste like anything.....Lori I just dont understand what is so special about it, it does not add anything to the cracker except a cold feeling on my tongue (probably because i just took it out the fridge) but still....nothing. This goes for other things too, just because people say it's great doesnt me you should buy in. Simple enough, use your head, "You're going to college to get smarter" as Pops would say.

Ok I just thoguht of one MORE!!!!
ULTIMATO CONCLUSIONO (my spanish is amazing!!):
Never boast about a grade which you got, nor discuss about how you "raped" "killed" "destroyed" "PWND" "tamed" "owned" or "ANNIHILATED" a test or exam.

The reasoning for this is simple, but yet many find it difficult to refrain from such actions. I have been on both ends of this spectrum. On my first Physics test, I feld like i bombed it and well everyone else seemed to feel very confident about their performance. Honestly, this does not bold well for your confidence, never put anybody in that position, of shame, of disappointment, of loss of self worth and fell badiness. I once also spoke too soon about my second physics test and did what was done on me to somebody else, and you dont want to make a cloud hang over someone else's head for the next few hours, days or weeks. Just dont do it. OPPOSITE NIKE!!!

Well overall though, first semester went pretty well barring some late labs (which i did on time but forgot to turn in) and some late nights (doing HW). My grades I estimate are in fair standing, and well, i hope i havent lost touch with anybody over the 3 months i've been away. Well, I tink it will be a while before I post again so you should read this one thouroughly if you can. Gnight.

Long Time One Post

It's been quite some time since i last posted on this blog, but here i will tell you about what's up, what's down, and my projections for certain proffesional and college sports. I know the name of my blog is very lamme and unoriginal but i like so, you guys who are haters, well you'll have to deal with it.
I'm gonna start with my season predictions, for the NFL, im predicting the Vikings in the NFC and the AFC will be repersented by the Jets. The game will end with a interception by Atoine Winfield. Cinncinati will make it to the NCAA basketball Final and lose. The Nets will have a mediocre season end up just short of the playoffs, and Draft Lance Stephonson. The Chicago Bulls will end up signing D-wade to a multi year deal next season, leaving the Heat with their draft pick Xavier Henry for a sooting Guard. The NBA is up for grabs, i dont really care too much who wins that. For the world series, i believe it will be an LA series, despite the fact that both the Angels and Dodgers are down 0-2, that means Philly will not repeat, and you guys in the Bronx will get destroyed by the rally monkey...again.

As for college life, I cant say that i've had the worst experience, but there are some bumps in the road. I'd have to say though, out of all the people that came to Umass i think im one of the luckier ones. The people on the floor for the most part are pretty cool, they madd chill. If you guys wanna come up and visit it is required that you meet atleast a third of them. Classes, I cannot say are going very well. I have yet to get my results for my math exam, and my physics grades are not looking to bright, I still have to talk to my lab teacher about those. I currently have around an 80 average in Socio, and i wrote a killer paper in english, hopefully my english teacher thinks the same. Speaking of english teachers, my english teacher is Matthew Machonahey, I'm not sure if im spelling that correctly, but he is Matthew Machonehey. I just wanted to put that out there. When i get the chance i will take a picture of him and post it.

As for church, I've been to AKC twice, Kirklin, you dont have to worry about me anymore. It's been an intersting experience. The people there are awful friendly, but i feel like that might just be because i'm new, or "Allen's Brother". I dont really mind that but, it does lose its feel after like 8th grade. I have Our Journey, and my good old trusty red skin NIV too so i tihnk im good for now.

Recently, my back neck has been bothering me on the left side. It's like my head/neck area. It doesnt seem like a big deal but it's been bothering me for like a week now, and now im just getting irritated. And on thursday, there were some creepy things going on in my Dorm. I swear Crabtree is haunted, i'd prefer not to go into the details, but if anyone wants to visit, i'm warning you in advance, this building is HAUNTED. BUt seriously, most of the thigns that happened can be explained, but seem very improbable.

I hope that if you read this whole blog that you found it atleast somewhat interesting or insightful, you know, helped you see a lttle bit of my life a little bit better. If all those sports predictions do happen, I'm gonna have to admit Crabtree is haunted. Until next time, Adios Amigos, Aufwiedesehn Freundin, Smell you later Aligator, In a while Crocodile, and Smell you later.

Lost, and Prison Break

Over the years, i have accumulated many hours in front of Tv's computers and of course gmaeboys, and I have picked up alot of nothing. I mean people learn from TV all the time, and it's what you learn that's the cool part. Most of the stuff I dont even remember. Back to my point, after re-reading my college essays and stuff i wrote, and after i watched a bunch of Prison Break i saw how they were interelated. Most of the stuff I picked up from prison break was from Theodore Bagwell who was one of the bad guys but all the stuffi picked was like cool stuff so i was alright with it.

The only thing I have to say is though, "Who would I be if I had no TV". What I hear and what i see defines me. IF i had no influence what I am i really, right now i am what i watch so tgat;s kinda scary, cause i really dont know who i really am. Sigh... that's where Lost comes in not the show but the fact. I havent watched any realy TV for quite some time so who am I?? I feel like me,, but nobody at the same time. It's hard to explain, but my aspirations have changed so many times over the last 2 years I dont really 100% sure know what or who I want to be. It's lost.

Arrggg

This is just one of those things I hate. I think Timo Cruz from Coach carter captured it nicely.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us."

But nevermind that, I hate being ahead when I'm not trying to be. It's like being the kid that scores a 2390 on the SAT's who nobody wants to talk to anymore, because they have done greater than everybody else. Or the guy that uses 6 syllable words regurly in his speech. Nobody really likes these people simply because they're ahead.

I'm not trying to say that im better than anybody else, but I don't like being ahead in things. Not that it isnt good, but i really dont like it when nobody else is with me. I feel all by myself and everyone else is outside and i dont like it that;s all.
If you guys dont know what im talking abotu im talking about college letters, the last week i felt like has sucked because I already got 3 letters and accepted to 2 schools while other people havent even heard yet, and I'm getting like this like envy hate thing, and I'm all like accept now accept later is still an acception, you know what i mean?

I just dont want to talk about any college stuff anymore, I'm done, atleast till everyone can participate in these conversations

2008 Gone

2008 is gone, im like a little late but whatever, it was quite an interesting year, and new stuff is coming along and it's exciting and scary. I wish i knew where destiny is taking me. College letters rolling in, school year winding down, snow melting away. Ok, I had like a strange like emotional rollercoaster during the last like 4 months of '08; it was very strange but i want to give credit to my friends and Akon for helpin me pull through, actually there was only one real low point but it was a very steep drop, it was like the price of oil $140/barrel to $43/barrel in two weeks. I recovered though.
Akon helped i wanna give credits to that song. It was "Dont Matter" i heard it while on somebody's iPod and i was like s*#t i'm not giving up that easy, nothing is gonna seperate me from what I want, I'm gonna fight for my rights. It was kinda dumb though now that i think about it, I was upset because I really wanted to goto Quinnipiac, but i dont know waht happened, and i managed to put myself in a postition with 0 chance of going, but i changed that around cause of the song. It was pretty intense.

As some of you know though, it's like this. I'm one for two. Eight more to go.
