Tyler Perry

Tyler Perry is trying i believe to find a balance between what is funny and will sell and the issues taht plague his audiences. That he woulod be a better candiate at bringing to the light ,because in agree that he plays and talks about themes and situations already known and mentioned in other shows or books. He is just able to grab onto a largeer fan base and quickly than the rest. I beleive also what the article states that he beleives and wants ti kinda install in us that with GOD everything will be ok, and that without him you will struggle and go throught a many of meaningless trails. And that seems true for some but not all, but i don't think that it's a false truth or wrong in anyway. Just some people aren't ready fro that type of information right now, OnDemand is enough for now. And also that it would be nice if he could get on larger and more impeding subjects like black on black violence and self hate with in the community. But again he is only one man and can only do so much a day, eventhou the world may think he can do millions. But again with these new topics he would need more time and reseraches to make it funny to try and soften the blow of societies many hidden flaws. Their kinda funny like the elephant in the room at every gathering or event. But once you get amongst friends the lephant is quite visible and everyone is talking to him. But things and cahnge just takes time.

R.L. Burnside art?

Why should blue's be considered a form of art, because no one can copy it orfake the blues'. It has to be organic and come from within, you have to have gone through the blue's or a seriously troubling time in your life to have the creditals to sing the blues. That's way the few true blue's players that are left are treasured and sought for by true music lovers for their craft and experience. It's also a form of atr in how it teaches peopl not by the words per say but by the foundation it has laid for the rest of thr world's music to latch onto for support and further growth. The likes of Rythm and Blues , Hip Hop or what's left of it, along with jazz, rock and roll and bluegrass. With the shouting and yelling of some lyrics while still telling a story and trying to get the crowd invlved in what your singing about.
Because most songs made today should try and tell the listeners and audiences a story to get them entertained and interested in hearing the rest of the song or more like it. But nothing really compares to artist who can play their song acoutistic without all the high tech sounds and effects we have made over the years. It's like they are regessing back to the classical way music was and enjoyed. And it's simply done with the artist, their guitar and maybe their fellow band members if they have any. And just let it all hang out, and that's what R.L and Model T does when they perform bless their souls. They would bring it and have no prisoners after a show, no one would leave dissappionted. They would ahve all found some deep feeling of mirth, happiness, or completion, if not joy after the shows.

Gap VS Earth, Wind, and Fire

Who came up with this idea? I'm soo mad about all of it what were you on and or thinking about? But anyway i think that the GAP band might win over Earth, Wind and Fire. Not because they're younger or anything if they even are, it's because i see EWF as lovers not fighters. And they seem more hippish and kinda high in their songs and ballads. They are more of a happy go lucky band who just wants to be friends and love you till the sun goes down and comes back up again. While the GAP band seems more enegerized and amped like they wake up early in the morning ready to make a song or to get the day started. And they also seem more built and solid frames, EWF seem kinda slim and fragile because they are older than GAP. But some old men still have fire burning in their gut that has gotten them through wars and oppesions and then there's just plain out pride. That they just can allow them to let a youngster beat doen on them. It's kinda like your younger sibling saying they can beat you up and doing it. You would before that fight make sure that you do whatever it takes in your power to win this fight, because it menas alot to you. It goes into dominationation and Alpha male type scineros, where if you lose you will be submissive to the victory until you changlle them to a battle and win back your pride and dominance. But again i think the GAP band would win unless EWF just completely freak out and woop in on the GAP band. Like a store clerk on a robber who had failed to rob his store, or mom who caught her child stealing.

Voting for the first time.....it's so anticlimatic

I had to go all they way to Clayton County to vote in the election and it seem so important before hand. Like i had to schedule and make sure that after i got out of my last class of that day that i had packed my clothes and try to get home soon. I was both exicted and worried, i say to myself what if i mess up and vote for the wrong person and ruin the country for another four years. To tell you the truth i had no prep before i went in to the voting site i did not no real research and saw none odf the debates. I just kinda hoped for the best and went for it, i know horrible person bads citizen. But i just chanced it and went for it, cause either way you would think my vote would be basis. Because i'm both a woman and african american, i know what you're think Obama isn't balck his arbaian/muslism. But alot of people make that connection because he has a dark enough completion i'm sorry but that'a what i think. That peopl wonder off and group up into cluters that we can relate to.
So to end all of the suspense i voted for Obama for the reason that with any help he will improve the irregularity that our society has become. Hopefully he will improve the teaching methods of the schools instead of teching for the test they will be teching for college or for the pure fun or experience of knowledge. Then hopefully improve and speed up/ correct the immigrantion laws and citizenship. So that there won't be millions of illegal immigrants working for America while being America's qoute unqoute strain on society. They would be full flegde citizens and learn to comlain and be assholes like the rest of us "Americans".

See No Evil

The CIA to the government is it's ground or foot soliders to handle all of it's dirty business overseas. And they will do what it takes to get what they want, they thrive on cheating, lying, and stealing to get stuff done. They go as far as to take on completely fake identites so long that they actually start and believe them. Forgetting about their families at home and their old lives before the CIA. Like in the movie Bob's son seemed so distant and non chalant about his dad visiting. And was kinda questionable on why he was there to begin with, seeing as how he can easlily be away from home for years at a time. With no phone call or check in at all because he's undercover nad can not risk breaking cover for anyone. Because it has now become more than his life on the line it's become the countries well being and status. Beecause if for some reason he is caught and tortured he could disspell the secrerts of the nation to the kidnappers. So as a plan B or scaprgoat made by the governmebt they simply wipe him off the face of the planet destroying his birth certificate, SSV card and State ID of any form. The government saw it as it better if just you suffer or go down then the whole nation. We're sorry if this seems mean or hard but it's how we stayed on top for so long and alive. Like on of the lawyers or congress men said in th movie"lying, cheating, stealing is as American as Apple pie it's how they make money and survive. It's what's seperate them from the bums on the street it's their bread and butter."
The CIA seems like a shady, lonley job to enlist in, and ffrom the passage and the movie i don't think i would be joining anytime soon. I like my identy and my family and friends a little, then all the work you have to put in to lie everyday to people you don't know. The the pressure of if you get caught what will happen to you not just in the foreign country but when ever yo make it back home, what surprises what for you there.

Bathroom

When i was in grade school there was a little rhyme that my teacher taught me about the bathroom. And it goes " If you sprinkle when you tickle please be neat and wipe the seat" I got the glits of that rhyme at the tender age of 5 while is it that grown teenagers does seem t understand it? I mean i get and understand the santation issue but seriously people why just leave it there? When females decide to go to the bathroom they usually don't seat on the seat unless their are at home or a friend/ family member's home. They use it and leave the bathroom and sometimes they leave pee on the seat, and simply go to the sink to wash their hands and leave. So their pee is exposed to all the germs and bacteria of the public bathroom for the next unsuspecting lady to enter that stall. Everyones afriad of catching crabs from toliet seat do youknow how many people actually catch it that way? Less than 2% a year if that many, so tell me what do you think is in your urine, that is so good that it can just be left there to stand for hours on a toliet? And that's all types of wrong why would you do that to another human being, for anyone who has ever sat on pee in a public bathroom you understand. It is the most disgusting thing that can happen to you in your daily routine, it ruins your day. So what is so hard about after you use the bathroom after you pull your pants up, but before you open the door to syop and wipe your seat down. By you doing this you are helping yourself and the next lady who comes in to use it. And with any luck she will repeat what you did, and the bathroom might just be a better place to go and pee. And your also setting a great exsample for your younger siblings/childern to learn and adopt. So

Eng1102 Underconstruction

I really can't say what i would change about the class it's one of my favorite classes this semester. It's the only reason i get up in the morning by knowing in a couple of hours i get to go to Eng1102. Because the class is laid back, funny, and professional, all at the same time. Nothing is taboo in the class room and everybody is respectable and funny in their own ways. But Miller is the ring leader some how no matter what a classmate might have to say, being a smart ass or generally just wanting to know. He will always have a remark twice as fast and funny too without skipping a beat. And will continue with the class, i learnt about how bad my grammar is in my writings and how to cite soureces in MLA front. I know i know how did i make it this far in college without knowing how but i did somehow so get over it.
The class is exicting and engaging and most of all it doesn't baby us, it allows us to go out and figure things out for ourselves. We get to read and learn about things i might never read or have known about before this class. And finally its helped me to better organized my paper and agurments after reading the book and my first paper. But i do have some concerns and thoughts..... yea the surprise quizzes over movies and the reading asking werid questions. Like what was Bob's last name in Syrianna that was one of the most WTF moments i had in the class. And that there is no extra credit that i know of and i wish there were some just in case.
