you want 25 facts?? here you go... take this DELAWARE and shove it!!

Nothing beats a warm summer day with no work to do. Hands down (like 6:30, yun).

Today was our little taste of spring here in the dirty D E eeeezy.
Though the taste of sunshine was refreshing, it did not automatically put me in that "mmmm hmmm" feel good mood like in the past. After careful deliberation, I can only come to one conclusion for the lack of enthusiasm for living on this beautiful day.


*DELAWARE FLIPPIN SUCKS*

Now, I have come to this conclusion based on the following:

1. it is Delaware, and in general, people know that it sucks.

2. nothing of any relevance to my human existence is within walking distance of my home

3. no free super cool places to go to, look at, take pictures by, talk about...etc...

4. when the sun shines, I still don't care

5. club? GTFOH. never happening.

6. I have to go to another state to catch an airplane

7. tolls. booooooooo.

8. car insurance is more expensive here

9. it does not have "The Diner" - in affect, all places that are not Washington, DC suck because of this

10. people can not take public transportation to my house, if you don't have a car, you can basically never surprise visit me

11. i have to beg people to visit

12. no one goes "Ohhhh you live in Newark, DE??? That must be fuuuuuun!" EVER.

13. groceries are mad expensive here

14. the eye candy is few and far between, you probably won't see University of Delaware on the Top 10 universities with "pretty" people.... shallow? yes. a reason nonetheless? OF COURSE.

15. people kill themselves here. thats enough alone!

16. halfsmoke?!??

17. A BEEF PATTIE!?!?!?!

18. there is 1, i repeat ONE, Target in the entire state

19. zero sales tax is irrelevant when there isn't any fun places to shop

20. i have never spent this much time in front of a computer screen in my natural born life

21. WalMart is far away too

22. again... no public transportation for my life!

23. no local news.

24. no local anything on television. Good morning Philadelphia! MYPHi Wake Up, Philly.....

25. I can still hear 92.3 in my car





*LISTEN TO KNOCKS ME OFF OF MY FEET - STEVIE WONDER
a feel good goodie

My interest in education....

My academic and intellectual inspirations derive from the work of Dr. Asa Hilliard, III. His battle to define education through academic excellence manifested by content mastery, student engagement, and community responsibility enlivens my sentiments to community service. Our educational system is facing a crisis and its time for a responsible educational revolution to emerge. Though Dr. Hilliard has passed, I am encouraged, as an act of reverence and responsibility, to battle for innovative education.

Procrastination is the thief of blessings...

Vicky Free.... in good ol Meridian.... we clarified this statement as all too true.
I was 19, a sophomore in college, no job, chilling with my bff every day, spending money, eating food. living life.

Anyway...

I'm 22 now (I can't believe that) and the statement is unbelievably true. I am in my room after a full day of scholarship and I cannot bring myself to read anything else about the federal system as originally proposed by Nixon/Reagan/Bush and "The Great Society" or the "New Deal"... I'm officially textbook'd out. I cannot do it anymore.

so in the true spirit of scholarship, I'm doing what any graduate student would do in this case....

drop the books and blog.

I mentioned in another blog that I have been in a good mood lately.... I still am, however that mood has been stifled by public management statistics, microeconomics and quantitative analysis and Z-scores, and regression patterns and other blah...

What puts people in a good mood?

Usually sex does. I can't count how many times this conversation has happened:
Me - "INSERT NAME HERE, you seem like you're in a good mood"
Them - "Of course I am, I got me some...."

So okay, I get it. Sex puts people in a good mood.

However I am quite aware that there are many a happy people out there who aren't getting sex and still happen to have good moods. (cough cough)

What happened to Def Poetry Jam?
I'm not cool enough to have HBO anymore, but I miss Shihan and Black Ice and.... just the whole show.

Bring it back.

....I'm still upset at the fact I cannot find that poem. I have to do some fresh stuff anyway but its the whole point....

ok, i'm done for now
