'The Party'

Attention all party people, rappers, singers, promos, recruiters, and DJ’s. I will be having the most revolutionary party ever thrown in history. It’s going to be filled with good vibes, nonstop entertainment, and moments that you will remember until you’re back in diapers. This party is going to be legendary.

Everybody that the media follows and lives for is coming through to this joint.  I’m inviting Wu Tang Clan, Flatbush Zombies, Pro Era, TDE, Chris Brown (no Drake), OG Maco, Mermaid Monroe, The Game, J.Cole, and many more. If possible, I would bring Beyoncé and Jay-Z to the party, but I’m not trying to put the state of California on lockdown. Ya feel me?

Wear whatever the hell you have in your wardrobe. New or old, I don’t care. If you got South Pole, wear that shit, if you still got Rocawear? Wear that shit as well. As long as your outfit is clean, as in not wrinkled, and no stains, you will be allowed in the party. I don’t want to hear nobody complaining about how their Balenciaga shoes or red October yeezy sneakers got stepped on. Nobody told you to wear $1000+ sneakers to a HOUSE PARTY. So that being said, wear your reasonably priced sneakers or sandals or whatever, and IRON YOUR CLOTHES.

Topic Sentence: Since we’re in Cali and what not, bring endless amounts of herb and alcohol!!! People who are either drunk, high, or both are type of people you need close by for humorous entertainment.  I got coolers placed all around the house so nobody can ransack my damn fridge and what not. Please do not bring any weapons that could shoot, stab, burn, disintegrate, or zap someone. I do not want to be held accountable just because a retard is trigger happy like SWAT, Racist police officers, and rednecks. Lastly, do not bring no hard narcotics like PCP or Cocaine. I know we’re in Cali, but leave that shit back in Los Angeles. Everybody there is stuck in the 80’s.

Now hear me out, I’m a laid back person and I’m down for anything. You can party as hard as you want, but I don’t you inciting riots or starting brawls. I’m not taking the fall for nobody and I’m damn sure ain’t sticking around when LA Swat rolls up and  start throwing flashbang grenades. I have more than one house in Southern California. Thankfully.

As you can see, my house is a mixture of the Versailles palace in France and Tony Montana’s mansion. There’s two Dj’s present, one inside of the house and outside next to the pool. Don’t worry, it’s protected by non-porous, clear panel. FX lights and glow in the dark bands are all over the place. That’s not the best part. The best part about the party is my speakers. Two 6ft tall towers of premium bass are chillin’ outside while there’s  state-of-the-art sony surround sound speakers keeping the party alive inside. Got my house going up… on a Tuesday-wait.. it’s saturday. No, Friday… Nevermind i’m drunk and high.

So, at this moment, the party just became out of control. To make a long story short: Drake crashed the party, chris brown saw him, and then they started scrappin. OG Maco got drunk and started breaking into people’s homes, screaming, BITCH YOU GUESSED IT. The Game and Mermaid Monroe is knocking boots in my goddamn game room as we speak., the bloods and the crips popped out of no where like ninjas and started stomping out my security guards, and last but not least Lady Gaga crashed the party as well….. RIDING ON A FUCKING SQUID WEARING SRIRACHA SAUCE BOTTLES AND RED OCTOBER NIKES(designed by Kanye West). yo… Please come through now. I’ll give you a dollar… and a lamborghini. :]  

Fake People

Dear fake people,

           

Life isn't a reality show. Talking mess about someone one day and then smile in their face the next day is not cool. This is how pointless altercations occur and that is not needed in my day. Much less my life. You all make me despise befriending people.

            I have trust issues since people doesn't know how to be true to themselves and everyone around them. Whenever I meet people, I’m hesitant to open myself to them because I don’t know what type of person they are. Now whenever I open myself to someone, people like you decide to take my unique, humble persona as something to negatively criticize amongst your plastic clique.

Being as two faced as a penny will not get your far in life.  You can critically hurt somebody's feelings and cause their self-esteem to plummet. Evidently, you guys wouldn't care because you're too busy caring about your reputation. Which, will not aid you in getting a job or a career in the future.  I bet you guys would that parent who forces their kid or kids to do so much sports just to make yourself look like the "perfect mother" or father.  Jesus.

Enticing unwanted drama is also one of your favorite hobbies to do. Why? I don’t understand how a person can start trouble with other people just for personal entertainment.  Nothing is more irritating than to hear crap about myself from people other than you crickets. But this takes the cake, when I go to confront, you guys either turn into actors or catch amnesia. If you’re going to run your mouth, at least have a little bit of courage to say it whenever I’m present.

Immaturity is a side effect from being fake. I don’t care if you’re 20, 30, or damn near 50. If you’re fake, you are automatically immature. Life is too damn dynamic to be hot and cold with every person you meet. I’m going to be honest, something you guys can’t be, I thought that the people I would meet during my in college would be straightforward. I thought wrong because I found out that I was “annoying” and a “nerd” through a classmate. Hearing that annoyed my soul to the fullest. I was under that impression that there will be no high school type drama in college (I don’t know why) at all. Since I’ve discovered this I decided to stay reserved away from everybody. God knows how many people like you guys are out there.

I’m pretty sure you split-personality having idiots knows the saying, “actions speak louder than words.” Keep doing what you’re doing so someone can act out and leave a nice mark on your face or physically humiliate you in front of a crowd. You know what I want you guys to do right now? Stop throwing subliminal messages to people via social network and watch these wonderful, yet violent videos on worldstarhiphop. You will find videos of people getting smacked around for running their mouths about other people. Yes, people are that crazy to beat someone up over words. I don’t condone it, but I’m just letting you guys know. Once.

Take the time out of your pathetic lives and realize how much drama you are creating. If you keep being fake with people, more problems will pile up and you will not benefit from it. Reminisce the amount of times you had to deal with hostile people confronting you because you don’t know how to keep it real. So help me god, please stop saying that you hate drama and you’re the one causing it. It’s not cool and if you actually want to have genuine friends, you better change your ways and come correct.

Before I go and continue my honest, original lifestyle, take this into consideration:  you may have friends that you can trust, and you may have good attributes personality-wise. Although, the moment you decide to tell someone what you have on your mind, that’s the moment when you become a real person. But like every fake person I’ve encountered you guys will never change and will still be the epitome of the social society.

A Two-time suicidal failure

             The book contains its own type of dialogue. The term “popped” caught people’s attention. While attending a reading for Dan Josefson’s that’s Not a Feeling, Josefson described the meaning of the word and the word means that something is forbidden or taken away. The book is about a sixteen - year old boy named Benjamin that attempted to commit suicide twice and failed. This caused his parents to bring and abandon him at a therapeutic boarding school in upstate New York.   The overview of the novel is enough to draw an avid reader in.

            During the reading, Josefson read a section from the book. In that section, a couple of characters were introduced. Pudding is one of the characters that I only remember from that section. Pudding’s caricature gave the novel a refreshing comedic relief.  Hiding delicious pancakes in his pants, Pudding was tormented and abused by the other kids. I also picked up a sense of common sense from Pudding. After him getting smacked by a shovel, Pudding, kid w/ a shovel, and a higher-upper had an argument.  Pudding was angry about the fact that everybody was questioning the pancakes in his pants and neglecting that some boy hit him across the head with a shovel. This part of the novel enticed my thoughts.

            In an excerpt on a Tumblr page from Josefson’s book, I pointed out certain moments of crude and vulgar type humor. A character named Dedrick said - “But try to make them look as retarded as you possibly can,” he said. “Misspell things, write with your left hand if you need to. Pudding, you just write the way you always do” (Josefson). This type of humor will hook onto the reader’s attention and subconsciously persuade the reader to keep on reading.

            The setting and tone of the reading was refreshing and positive. People who were present at the reading, including me, was enjoying following section of the novel. Josefson’s dry sense of humor and nonchalant attitude allowed us to lean in and closely pay attention to him. After Josefson finished reading, he accepted questions from students and professors. He enjoyed our questions and said they were very good.

            The reading overall was virtuous. Josefson is a respectful man and a remarkable author. He was a little timid and hesitant at first, but towards the end his body language showed that he was relaxed. Even though I haven’t read the book completely, I would definitely recommend it to someone. Josefson’s novel put me in the same giddy feeling when I first read a novel by James Peterson.   

           

 

           

           

           

           

 

 

Why Print Is Better Than Digital

           Reading the latest news on a handheld device can be convenient for everyone. Author Dan Blank of “Why Is Digital Better Than Print” explains why digital media is better to use than print media. Blank presents reasonable points against print media and points supporting digital media. Digital media is less cumbersome than print, but lacks authenticity and security.

Newspapers and magazines can prevent false information from landing on their platforms. The print media has gatekeepers, or Editors. It is their job to keep the following print source as factual and tangible as possible. In the digital realm, the truth in articles are either stretched out or completely altered since there is no type of refuge in maintaining authenticity.

Print Media can contain its original form. Blank stated that “It can be clipped, photocopied, and saved (Blank).” A person could do all of the following actions with a printed source and will still be able to locate its unique style. Once a piece of information from an article founded in a newspaper ends up digitized, it loses its validity. “No longer confined to one medium, it can morph, evolve, be segment or expanded, be updated, be aggregated, be hyperlinked, and mashed up (Blank).” A controversial article from New York Times would be in danger of being completely plagued with misleading information the second it transfers into the digital world.

Anybody can write an article online and put their name on it. Wikipedia’s open nature to everyone allows an online user to change an entire article and claim it. This will be detrimental to whoever takes out information from it. The person who comprehensively changed the article, could have inputted nothing but their opinions. Blank indicated that “the web has given each every one of us a voice in this world (Blank).” Digital media gives people access to practice their freedom of speech on every topic available on the internet. However, the print media allows people to practice their freedom of speech as well, but to an extent.

The print media can contain single, controlled content. It was said that “the op-ed page of the New York Times was the most important page in the newspaper because it contained the voice of the people (Blank).”  Unlike the Digital aspect of news articles, print media have the power to maintain their content and limit the voice of the people. It helps the reader locate the primary source of a topic about politics or business. As years progressed, digital media encourages people to “publish their own content and comment on the content created by others (Blank).” Between these two mediums, print is more practical and concrete to go to if real, factual information is desired.
