Balloon Boy
Dammit...
So, apparently one of their children, "Falcon" (Hmm, you name your kid Falcon...are we REALLY asking if this was a hoax?) was hiding in the attic, after letting his weird ass father's weather balloon in the air. Now somehow these parents thought that their child was in the balloon and called 911...OH WAIT...they called the TV Station first to report that their child was "apparently" missing. Then after calling the media, then they called 911. Hmm..
But I am not concerned about that. I cant Help that they are clearly idiot parents. But this is what I am having a real DAMN issue about...
EXCUSE ME?!
Okay...let me just be REAL DAMN SALTY....Lets just note I have two fears in life, frogs and vomit.
1. If your child has "upset stomach", WHY THE HELL DO YOU HAVE HIM ON TV. For crying out loud...the interview is in your DAMN HOUSE!
2. Lets start with Good Morning America
Balloon Boy: Mom, I think I am going to vomit.
[Boy runs to bathroom]
According to sources, Diane Sawyer had to say "Go ahead and help him" to the mom...
WHAT
THE
HELL.
If your six year old child is blowing chunks, then you need to assist him...or at least take his damn microphone off dammit! No one wants to hear someone puke on live tv.
3. Why was this child throwing up in front of the camera on the today show? WTF I mean really? That is so damn sad..I mean seriously...Holmes©(my grandmother) said to me, If her children were on tv and said they needed to throw up, she would say, "you better keep it in! You will not have me looking raggedy on tv. And if you do throw up, your cleaning it up then you gonna apoligize to America." Take the child to his room for crying freakin out loud.
4. Most importantly...IS THAT CHILD PUKING INTO TUPPERWARE?! THESE PEOPLE CLEARLY ARE A FEW BOLTS SHORT!
Ever heard of a trash can? They have this child puking into their tupperware? Oh, what happens to that tupperware? Its washed and put back in the cabinet. I am not racist, but I have surveyed quite a few, and found out that it is apparently a "black" thing to grab a trash can. But, it is a "white" thing to use tupperware or a bowl...
WTF. That is PURE NASTINESS! Get your ass up to the trashcan or go to the commode, PLEASE.
So, do I care that this is a hoax? No..
I do care when a parent puts their child on tv when he is throwing up.
What wonderful memories little falcon will have. Hmm, maybe he will be on a reality show reliving this.
Where is Kate Gosslin when you need her? (Hell, at least she has more class....not Jon tho, Jon is a DOUCHEBAG)
So, lets all just ignore this family...please...Thanks.

PSA - Cuz I Can Find You In The Club...
As many of the people close to me know, I kept a promise to myself during college to isolate myself with work and school, to ensure that I end on a good note. Now that I have been out for a year and some change, I have been quite a "clubhead" at least to many people that are close to me. If in fact you are a loyal visitor to mikeyville.com (which celebrates its 7th year of existence in October of this year), you will remember I blogged about this in the past. The Dos or Donts of proper clubhopping.
However, I see I have to add more, as for the last week, I have basically gone to sleep at 8 am to be up so I can club while on vacation at night. (Yes all week. Sad I know, but hey you only get to go on vacation once a year, and I love the beach anyway...)
Nonetheless. Let me rant just a bit.
1. Over-hyped Clubs suck.
If you go somewhere, and every other radio commercial is exclaiming that a certain club is "jumpin", "poppin", "off the chain" (where is this chain anyway), "off the heezy for (uhh) sheezy", "the ish", or "booty shaking fun", more than likely the club an over charged wannabe high class club that is straight up hood, with pretentious-fake females. The same females who get drunk and end up dancing with themselves and the dudes on the dance floor who are clearly trying to have sex with them in the bathroom, only to leave the club and wake up in the morning wondering whos fucking bed they are in. Don't believe the hype...if you enjoy snooty behavior and dumb bitches, then be my guest.
2. Just because they let you in for free, does not make you the shit.
So, apparently, there are a few young ladies I have noticed, who really think they are beautiful because they are let in for free. No. That is not the case. Thats just where the bouncer doesnt want to be eaten alive by a bear. (for people not on top of the witty comment, I am saying that most of them look like bears). Anyway, females in that category, when a dude comes near you, you dont need to give a nasty face. for example, a young lady who clearly thought she was the shit, but really looked like a piece of, thought I was trying to dance with her (really I was going for the blonde chick behind her, which she was like heaven her...I digress), she gave me a nasty face, so I mouthed "I aint lookin for you hoe." You have to realize this was vacation for me, and really, I refused to cater to anyone. Lol, she was definitely knocked down a few pegs, she wouldnt look in my direction all night. Lol
3. If your trying to stake your claim by being the only Black girl in the club, at least know how to dance.
Okay, now I know there is an idea of dominance for alot of people. And this one black chick was in the club and really was trying to show that she was the "baddest bitch". But when she danced with me, she was off beat like shit. AND when i tried to get her back on beat she acted like she was getting water....Lol She was ridiculed, because clearly all those dudes saw her and turned their head. Sorry, being on beat is a key. Now, I danced with mostly caucasian females, and they loved the fact that I could go low with them also. (yes, i am an exotic dancer on the side :-\)
4. Ladies, Stop cockblocking.
I have noticed (luckily I wasnt cock blocked, except 1 time, but they both danced with me instead and gave me a hug (I love hugs!)) that alot of females cockblock their sober friends. Now I can understand if you have a extremely drunk friend who is about to lift her dress up to have sex on the dance floor. However, stop being jealous, and have fun. Damn.
5. If you have a penis, dont touch me.
Thats just simple and to the point. You say excuse me. Dont touch me. I will clock you.
6. Ladies, if you let a dude finger you while in the club, you are a whore.
Yes, I saw this in the club and nearly lost my lunch. I am sorry that I take sexual relations seriously. Not to mention, that is something you do in the privacy of your vehicle...I mean your home (oops). Even still thats just nasty.
7. Ladies, if you randomly make out with people, you are a whore.
Yes, when you catch mono for randomly making out with someone, trace it to the douchebag whos tounge was down your throat about a week ago. Sorry, I love to make out, but not no random chick in the club. Shit. That Whore could have a damn cold!
So, I just thought these would be pretty helpful for my loyal readers. Hopefully you remember these rules when on the dance floor.
(Btw, I loved when the chicks pulled me by my shirt...whooo) LMAO

Welcome to the 2009-2010 Blogging Season
So my summer hiatus is over...
I am not chronicling my summer for you people because, I had a fun summer, and well, its none of your business!
(yes, summer is over, so I can be salty again)
So, here are some specifically selected updates:
1. I, again, am NOT leaving Xanga, rather I do have a wordpress version of Mikeyville.com. Havent decided if I want to use it or not...(probably not)
2. Again, you may not twitter me. I am so TIRED of that damn site, hearing about about it and how everyone is twittering each other. Sounds like somethign the police should be involved with.
3. Yes, I picked a school, a few people know, most of the world doesnt, but I will let the world know by the end of September. Stay tuned.
Now, let me work on a real entry.
(Like the new paint?)

Tired of this DAMN Social Networking!
Just noticing that everyone is flocking to other bloggers...
Yeah...I bid thee farewell...
But, I'll still be here...
Although...
I do agree. I am really not too pleased with this whole "social" networking thing anyway. I mean let me do one of my world famous RANTS!
Social Networking.
Now, I have blogged in the past about social networking. Most specifically, Twitter, and how I do not like twitter, because I cannot sum up my thoughts in 150 characters. But I have noticed this new trend of extreme social networking.
Don't get me wrong. I am addicted to facebook. I have been since I got my facebook account when I started college way back in 2004. Of course, this was back when no one knew about facebook. You could only have one picture, you HAD to be a college student, with a college email address and it was a bit more sane. Now Facebook has turned into a "mature" myspace. ( DO NOT get me started on myspace and why I always hated it.)
Now, I would be lying if I didnt admit that my first few years of college I was a complete and utter loser and added random people to my profile to meet new people. (Ironically, I only met one that I still can't seem to shake off! LOL - - - A shout to my best friend Tarell on that one...(okay, I met her through facebook...) However, now it is deemed almost offensive if you do not accept people's friend requests...
So let me just air out my concerns with facebook.
1. I am tired of random requests.
Why are you requesting to be my friend when I have ignored you 7 times? I never understood that. I had a chick who kept trying to add me. I didnt know who she was, she lived in like wisconsin or sumthing and I had no clue who she was. So I ignored the request. I continued to ignore the requests. Finally I had to go into my special privacy section and add her to the golden blocked list. Yes, that is always loads of fun right.
So, what I want to know is...WHY THE HELL DOES IT MATTER?! If I am not your friend of facebook, what will happen? you will become violently ill and vomit with rage? I think not. BITE ME. (figuratively, if you come near me I will steal the mess out your face...not that I am violent.)
2. I am tired of these event requests from random areas.
Okay. Lets make this clear. I live in Maryland. The DC Area of Maryland. Prince George's County. Stop sending me shit from random places. Except for my few entertainment folk from my high school (and the ones who cater to the DC area), what the hell is the benefit of you sending me shit. (pardon my french). Perhaps it would be in your best interest to cater to your area, then maybe you will make your quota.
3. I am tired of people bumping OLD ASS pictures.
Okay...this is a term used in my tv forum I visit. Bumping is when you comment on a picture that is more than a month old. It is so damn irritating to get a facebook message saying "So N So commented on your picture!" And then you see the uploaded date says 2006. COME ON. This is quite annoying. You just look at the pics and just comment on the persons wall.
4. Comments on Wall Posts
What...the...hell. How do you comment on a wall post. I mean isn't a wall post a comment itself? I do not understand this strange logic. It almost seems....wrong in a way...
5. APPLICATIONS
Okay...I can not stress this enough. I do not care what your score is playing a fake mafia game or watever that shit is. I do not care what VIRTUAL gifts you have given to your friends. I do not care if you have virtually smacked your friend. NO! YOU ARE GROWN ASS PEOPLE! GROW UP! The thing that really IRKS me is that, all of these gifts are fake. It's not real. Stop sending me gifts.....you must enjoy the BLOCK button.
I just don't get it....this is what Xanga is turning into...If I wanted to blog on Facebook, well I would BLOG ON FACEBOOK (though Mikeyville.com is RSS'ed to facebook.). So, I am totally understanding why everyone is departing. The only reason why I am still here is because I started here, and this blog has been my pride and joy. The custominzable features on xanga makes me ignore the stupid stuff like those "recommending" of posts. If i want to read it, I will read it. Point blank. And these dumb chain blogs and messages. Its annoying but i just delete it all. I have even deleted blogs from my subscriptions of blogs that i dont read ori just find annoying.
So enjoy, mikeyville isn't going anywhere.

Jon and Kate, I pretty much hate.
(A Masters Mind will return next week..)
(Tribute to MJ, later today)
So, there is quite a stir with these damn two...you know....
Them - - - >
Am I the only one sick of them?
I mean, I am not trying to say any thing bad but...
WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THEM!?
Before the weak of tragedy last week, I remember watching the news, and this being one of the top stories. Okay...Wow...all the stuff in the world and we are worried about these fools...
In case you have been living under a rock or do not believe in television, or your amish, Let me just give you the back story.
These two people got married. She got pregnant with twins. gave birth. Then got pregnant again. had sextuplets. Gave birth. Now they have 8 kids. TLC documented a day in their life. people loved it. TLC gave them a show. The parents let the stardom get to their head. And we end up here.
Now apparently, Kate (from just watching an episode) is demanding as all hell. Not to mention she is pretty aggressive. Jon basically sat back and let her run it all. So apparently, Jon needed an escape and now has a 23 year old girlfriend....And says "he is finally able to do what he wants..."
Oh I am sorry...
Because adultery is definitely something to model for your children...And you feel liberated now? BULLSHIT....
I really have no pity for this dude. Yes, Kate is demanding, but in order to run a household of 10 people, what do you expect? If she was bland and didn't run stuff like she did, he would've left anyway.
I dont like this douchebag because I noticed that he ran around while leaving the children in the care of his baby mama. Im sorry, but thats classic douchebagery. I mean, so worried about your pleasure. Yeah...I really cant stand that guy right now.
I have such a blunt opinion because, I am the result of divorced parents...but my folk always kept their kids priority...And I dont see that from Jon...I mean I have no problem if dude wants to get it on...thats fine...but, umm...YOUR ON TV! YOUR FAMOUS! WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU CHEAT!? I dont understand...why risk getting your ass pointed out? And furthermore, why not step up and be a father first?
See, this is my problem with society. Children are made, then seen as second class citizens. NO NO NO...If your going to make a kid...then that KID becomes your #1 prioity. REGARDLESS. I feel so sorry for those 8 kids bc I am sure they will hear about this in the future...Lets pray that their father can clean up his image.
Back to the couple themselves...I have a problem with the show/couple in general.
Apparently, their $$ and such is made from just the TV show. And basically they are exploiting their children for $$. YES I SAID IT. I think everyone has thought that but never said it. I mean would we see Jon and Kate minus 8? Hell no. Hell, I would think that watching her beat the hell out him wouldnt be worth the time or money. But basically they are parading around as a side show, showing off their 8 kids. Wow.. Wonderful..SO WHAT! there have been families of +9 +10 +11 etc...hell (I gulp as I say this, because this couple makes me so angry and I cant stand their show, and they gross me out...) but i rather watching 18 and Counting with those weird ass Duggars.
SIDE NOTE: Okay...That 18 And Counting show freaks me out because its almost like 7th Heaven to the 3rd power.
None the less, what do i think they should do?
End the show, and get on with their lives...
(felt so good to get that out...lol)

A Masters Mind. Part III

Part III - The Damn GPA and Acceptance.
Highest Sophomore GPA at A&T. Wonderful. Honors Program. Great. Promising Future.
It was wonderful at AggieLand.
Then came - - - - > Them
Ran out of A&T money, and ended up there. Working full-time to pay for school. And Trying to take on a full online course load. Great.Went from 3.8 at Aggie Land to damn 2.0 at the University of Hell. (Though, my final semester I did pull a 3.0.)
So my gpa is teetering at a 3.0 at 2.999 or something similar. Of course after I calculated it, I was in shock and anger. Almost throwing stuff because I was so angry. At the beginning of Jan, I had basically given up. I was going to just give up and go into SES for the rest of my life. I wasn't really inspired to go further. Mostly because, I knew just the application process to grad school would be as successful as Shaq's acting career.
Then, in March, I realized something...
I AM GREAT AT BEGGING!
Okay, well thats a very sad admission of groveling. But, I do make a point. I didnt realize the fact that I have to produce an essay, letter, fictional story, diarama, bulletin board, art project, poem, or pi to 100+ digits. And (well probably with the exception of pi to 100+digits. which by the way is: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825 3421170679, thats legit by the way. I like math. But I digress) However, I can still beg and grovel to get in. I mean :
1.High GPA at A&T clearly I am very smart.
2. Money Troubles (Full time work + full time school) = Low GPA (like how it is an equation?)
3. I brought up my GPA to its previous glorious splendor of the 3.XX club.
4. I am taking MORE classes this summer to prove I dont suck.
So I mean, after talking to many folk, I can stop worrying. So this has worked in my benefit finally.
So, my plan is to apply to colleges that are 2.5 and above, and smack that essay in the face.
Now, keeping on the subject of schools. I mentioned in a facebook status message, that I have narrowed down to my top 5 schools. It should say top 10. Now. Let me explain. I have 2 levels. Top Ten, then - Etc.. you'll see.
Top 10 Schools:
1. Hampton University - Hampton Va
2. Norfolk State University - Norfolk Va
3. NC A&T State University -Greensboro NC
4. Liberty University - Lynchburg, VA
5. College of William and Mary - Williamsburg, VA
6. Howard University - Washington DC
7. Old Dominion University - Norfolk Va
8. Johns Hopkins University - Ravens Town, MD
9. East Carolina University - Greensville, NC
10. UNC Pembroke - Pembroke, NC
Now, there are 4 schools that are level 2 status. Which means, I could spontainiously jump to one of those schools. But in a few of the cases, I cannot do School counseling. But these are schools that I am comfortable with the area and really like them. Those are:
Duke University (I would have to get a MAT)
NC State ( I would have to start Fall 2010 - Not cool)
The other ones ( I would not be able to do school counseling)
UNC Wilmington (Curriculum and Instruction [Someone is jumping for joy for this one])
So there you have it.
Stay tuned for Part IV - Uh oh, Back in the Class again.

Okay...you get one sneak preview.
I guess I could actually put a little bit of my fiction on my blog...just this time...
this is an excerpt of episode(chapter) 3:
“Welcome to Orientation. Name Please? Last Name first!” the lady said quite fast to the two boys. She bore a typical southern accent, an accent you only heard from Paula Deen.“Uhh, yeah, Harrison, first name James” James said stuffing his keys into his pocket.
“Yeah and Ketrell, first name Kyle William” Kyle was zoned out amazed at the many trophies the school won in the chess tournaments.
"Aye Jim, we definitely have to check out the chess team" Kyle whispered. James rolled his eyes. " YOU can check out the chess team, I am going to check out the chest team.", as James looked at the group of cheerleaders practicing. James was a strong little guy, but his weakness was always cheerleaders.
“Allright sweetie, you and your friend are located in our wonderful no-fail data system. Here at NFAM honey, we got rid of them old fangled things, so we are able to help you students learn, and learn well.” The lady said while the name tags printed. "While we are waiting, here is your coupon for free fried chicken."
"Fried chicken?" James said, in confusion."Yes sweetie, fried chicken. Did you forget, we are in the south, and just between us three, you both look like ur hungry. You two need meat on your bones, ooh child, they must be starvin yawl up there!"
James had to look down to hide his laughter.
She handed them both name tags. “Now here is your nametag. This is your identification. Honey, Do not take it off while on campus. Lawd, just to be safe, just keep your name tag on as long as you here in North Carolina. Cuz you wont be able to eat, drink, walk or be merry unless you have this tag on. On the back is your number for the orientation group you are assigned to. And you two have a great day!” Then she whispered to the boys. "And you two go eat something...jeez, yawl gonna disappear if you turn sideways. Lawd have mercy."
The boys thanked the lady and walked into the gymnasium.“ GROUP 5 GROUP 5 OVER HERE” they heard while walking in. The gym was unusually small, but was packed with hundreds of people.
“Oh no you didn’t”
”Yeah son you know”
”I know that’s right”
were the first things the boys heard when they walked to their group. "What the hell did I get myself into?" James said to himself walking towards the group.
Then, out of no where a small little guy walked up to the boys.
undefined
undefined”wassup yung” he said while tugging his unusually large earring, and holding up his shorts, that could've very well been wide pants.
Both James and Kyle nodded their heads in a gesture symbolizing wassup.
”Mah name is E. who u?""J, and this is my boy uhh...K" James said, playing into his illegible conversation.
"Aiight bet, so yo, yawl got that fire?”
James looked at the guy with a blank look. “Excuse me? That….Fire?”“Yeah son, that fire, I finna blaze before I go bang my hoe shawty. I need to get this shiggity crackalackin you finna hear me son?”
James again stared at the guy with a blank look."What the hell?" Kyle whispered to James.
James responded.
”What….in….the…hell did you just say?”
”Damn yung, Im sayin do you got some weed?”
“Uh-oh” Kyle whispered under his breath while shaking his head. James was the president of the Anti-Drug campaign at All Drama Academy. Not to mention, James was getting irritated. James rolled his eyes.“Sir. Real Talk" James began, using air quotes. "Maybe if your busted ass actually took the time that you use to…get …that…fire…and to bang your whore, you would have a lot of free time. Hell, she probably fakes it to make you feel better. But how bout you take your free time you could go to your local library, you know, the place with the books nigga! There, your wack ass brush up on your linguistics and syntax because obviously that’s something that you lack. Furthermore, I am surprised that you are coherent enough to comprehend the concept of College itself. But then again I’m sure your weed smokin bamma ass was a result of the Social Enhancement System in school, so your lack of basic skills and hygiene does not surprise me. But its okay though. However as IGNORANT as you might seem, I’m sure you would be able to comprehend the concept of LEAVING ME THE HELL ALONE!”
The guy was confused. “Aiight B.” and walked away.
Kyle’s head was looking down.
”Wats wrong with you?” James asked.
”Was all that necessary?”
”Do I ask you if your face is necessary?” James snapped back jokingly.
"Touche my nigga, touche." Kyle replied.All right, thats all you get for now.

A Masters Mind. Part II
Part II - What Do You Want to Be When You Grow Up.
Stop..
Lets rewind my life.
Starting at age 4, I think it would be hillarious to just note everything I wanted to be.
Singer, Rapper, Actor, Writer, Police Officer, Cashier, Teller, Customer Service Agent, Vetrainarian, Supervisor, Accountant, Scientist, Gynacologist (sp), Comedian, News Anchor.
Okay, so thats just a partial list...But as of the last few months, it has boiled down to:
* Teacher - I always wanted to teach, and since my last job was mostly teaching, meh, why not.
* Graphic Designer - I love it, (note the website)
* News Anchor - Yes, I love talking, and I love TV News...(See 25 things, Michael Version. No I am not linking)
However, as of the last week, I think I have decided.
I want to be a Middle School Counselor. Yes, I know, out of left field for someone like me. But I noticed something lately...
People love talking to me.
Yes...I repeat...
People love talking to me.
Strangers on the street will tell me their life story. Their WHOLE life story, as if I have known them for years.
My good friends, (including HIM) will call just to talk. And the funny part is, as I have gotten older, I have noticed that, I really do comprehend everything someone says to me, in order to formulate an opinion to assist them.
Even Holmes said I have good advice. (By the way "Mama" is okay. Still in ICU, thanks for the prayers, but I do want to clarify (as I have recieved calls), "Mama" is my great-grandmother. When I speak of my mother, I say Lisa or Mother. But thanks for the prayers!) Now Holmes is very wise, so this is a lot coming from her! (And shes a nut! Crazy old lady!)
So. What the hell does this have to do with anything?
Well I know everyone has been waiting to know what I plan to get my masters in. So, for the record, let me go ahead and put it out for the world.I am going to grad school to get MY masters in...SCHOOL COUNSELING.
(And technically, I will also go back to grad school to get my Masters in School Adminstration.)
So theres your answer.
In regards to the school choices....
I have a new top 10:
1. Duke University - Durham, NC.
(I doubt this will change, despite I would have to get a M.A.T. here, but hey gotta go with my Dream school)
2. Liberty University - Lynchburg, VA [THIS WEEKS BIG JUMPER!]
3. NC A&T State University - Greensboro, NC
4. Norfolk State University - Norfolk, VA
5. College of William and Mary - Williamsburg, VA
6. Howard University - Washington, DC
7. Old Dominion University - Norfolk, VA
8. Hampton University - Hampton, VA
9. East Carolina University - Greenville, NC
10. Loyola College - Baltimore, MD...
Now, in case you are quite mean, here are the ones who were voted off the island.
Morgan State
Coppin State
SC State
Francis Marion
Virginia Commonwealth
Christopher Newport
Univ. of Mary Washington
University of Richmond
James Madison University
Winston Salem State University
High Point University
Campbell University.
Next week - Part III - That damn GPA and that damn GRE.

Dont Worry...
I am still here. Taking a bit of an hiatus for a few days. Some might know (some might not), however, my great grandmother is in ICU this week.
Okay...shes 83 years old. The MIKE EATON ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS THE MEMORIAL DAY COOKOUT 2009, is Sunday, and I love to sit and talk with her.
I mean, really!
Everyone kinda sees her as being "ceinial" (sp.) and absent minded because shes old...Lol I think she knows that I know she is not, and that in actuality, she is okay, but she doesn't want her old age to kick her behind.
So, the doctors tell us she has a 50/50 chance.
I say, "No, she will be okay."
The nurse says she has a 50/50 chance.
I say, "Mama is okay. She will be at the shindig Sunday."
The surgeon says she has a 50/50 chance.
I say, "I dont care you had years of medical school dammit. Mama will be just fine. She is just a bit under the weather, she will be back to herself, and I will go to her house, and have my long awaited conversation with her."
I am so serious! I mean I am going to sit at her house and ask her what I should do for Grad school, and what she thinks of the school system! Talking to "mama" (what we call her) is wonderfully refreshing. Actually someone who listens and just longs for a nice conversation. Holmes© is so proud lol. I believe my strong opinion that Mama is okay is making Holmes© feel much better.
Plus Mama always makes me laugh!
(Just asking, if you could just pray for Mama that she makes a speedy recovery! Thanks. And I'll continue the A Masters Mind either later today, or Tomorrow.)

Let me reiterate.
(NOTE: If you are reading this note, and you live in the Washington DC area, or you are traveling to the area, and you knew me for more than 2 days, this pertains to you. Also, if you did celebrate with me last week, you are not being yelled at, however you will be expected to respond! hmph)
I was born : May 5th.
Today is: May 17th.
I have only partially celebrated my birthday, being a kind gentile like myself, I have conformed my plans to ensure that everyone could make it...
Well let me tell you about my birthday party night 1:
No one made it but one, and thanks to a string of unfortunate events, I ended up in TURTLE LAND (College Park). [I had fun none the less...but...]I DO NOT LIKE TURTLE LAND! PERIOD!
Birthday night 2:
We went to hooters. Thank you D-Block. You all have +25 friend points. Except Jeff, because he told me I sucked at singing. [Again I had fun none the less...]
So. This weekend, Memorial Day Weekend, I am planning, again, to celebrate my birthday. But here are my regulations...
1. Doing what I Want. Yes, I am a child and I will enjoy my 22nd Birthday Dammit!
2. There will be no drunken ness allowed...go get drunk at your home not near me.
3. There are no "maybes". When asked, you say YES or NO. Is there a maybe if I ask you if you wanna get beat in yo' head? No. So take your maybe and SHOVE IT!
4. There are no "yes"'s that need stipulation. The following will not be allowed:
- "Uhh, yeah, I have to see what is going on." No...If you have other plans, go with the other plans...I know I'm Swag and I'm Surfin, and im clean like the detergent, but I am not a laundry mat, so take your wishy washy bullshit elsewhere.
- "Yes, But see, I don't have any money." No, everything I am doing is free...this has already been established, since I am jobless. So don't test me.
- " Yeah, I am going to try.." Try what? Try to get your ass kicked? You will not try...your ass will be there if you say yes.
5. I will not turn down my radio in transportation to places, nor will i cater to your musical needs in route to venues...Its My birthday. My music got it?
6. You must be on the same page as myself. Therefore, get the facts from ME asap.
7. Do not blab my shit to the world...certain people are invited to certain places for certain reasons. Sometimes is D-Block night, sometimes its CRAZY TAYLOR night, sometimes its HOORAY FOR BOOSUMS night. Therefore KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
8. Howard is 25 miles from DC. Therefore if you are in a 25 mi radius, you are required to be invited.
9. Do not try to force liquor in me. I do not drink heavily ( 1.25 cup brown liquor max ), I do not drink beer, I do not drink clear liquor, and no I dont want no nasty ass wine.

A Masters Mind. Part I
So, I finally decided that my education vacation is over. After six months of sitting, I am ready to finally make that next step. To grad school. (Excitement.) Now, unlike me picking my school for undergrad, I have a few marks to my record, but some pluses...for example..
High School GPA: 3.95 (4.03, debatable)
Undergrad GPA: 2.95 (Should note my A&T GPA was 3.65, lets just make sure we take NOTE of that,and that I did have the highest sophomore GPA when I was there, I have the award!)
Major GPA: 3.2 (Again my A&T 3.5)
But I have been told, I can explain that in a lovely letter to the schools of my choosing...
Anyway, I have decided to take my readers on the journey with me. (This is mainly for this person since she inspired me to chronicle my process). So here goes Volume I.
(Okay, Master's Mind is poking fun at my old company MasterMind...)
I finished school in December 2008. Shamefully, I sat. I didnt have a graduation, and I am still quite bitter. I want to walk across the stage with those ropes and such. I also have a taste for a GYRO (hmm think about that one)... So therefore, I am going to grad school. This is my journey.
AIIGHT...so lets start at the beginning. When I applied for Undergrads, I just picked a school using a dart board, and just applied there. Very Fun, very easy. However thanks to the demands of debt and money, I cant be so lucky.
I began at a community college, went to A&T, which i loved, but my parents hated thanks to the wonderful bill, and finally the hell hole we call UMD. I do not like UMD. If it wasnt for the fact that I wanted to teach, I would've quit college. Seriously. Thats how much I do not like UMD.
So this time, I am going to go somewhere that I like. Regardless of money. No I am not rich, and I dont mind the debt, its inevitable. But you have to realize, I always dream big. And of course that is something that we all know I always do. (And I start at home Mr. Civility.)
Now, I narrowed down my choices to 42. I should mention, the criteria I used was, from researching the school itself and its history. NOT THE PROGRAMS. Thats later...I am taking my time, I dont plan to start (at the earliest) Jan. 2010. Six months is not a long time, but hey, remember I Dream Big. (And again, I start at home Mr. Civility.)
So, this Part will just give you the overview of the list. Feel free to comment about the schools you like and dislike...I love other peoples opinons.
(Note: Say anything negative about Duke, and you will be pelted with sweet potatoes.)
Of course my list is always in a reality show format, so each part of this series (hopefully weekly) will have a top 5, as they are in the the "circle". Those schools will usually be in bold. Anyway, let me shut up, and look at the top 5 first.1. Duke University, Durham, NC2. Howard University, Washington, DC [HBCU]
3. North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC [HBCU] (surprise huh?)
4. Hampton University, Hampton, VA [HBCU]
5. Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
okay, here are the rest of the schools by state. (no particular order)
* American University, Washington DC
* George Washington University, Washington, DC
* Delaware State University, Dover, DE [HBCU]
* University of Delaware, Newark, DE
* Wilmington University, Wilmington, DC
(anyone notice that Delaware's cities are not unique to Delaware??)
* Loyola College In Maryland, Baltimore, MD
* Morgan State University, Baltimore, MD [HBCU]
* Frostburg State University, Frostburg, MD
* Towson University, Towson, MD
* Coppin State University, Baltimore, MD [HBCU]

Grandma? No No, Her Name is Holmes©!
Since I have been on this open type blog thing lately, and exploring too much of my life, I thought it would be helpful to explain who this person is...as well, she seems to pop up in almost every post of mine.
Holmes©
As of today, I have seen or communicated with Holmes© every day for the last 8,037 days. Yes, my whole life. So, she almost the central point of my day, and it is no wonder that I talk to her every single day, at least 3 times. Now, keep in mind that Holmes© lives less than 3 miles away from my house, and in the same community as my dad (its less than a tenth of a mile...) She has lived there since about '83.
Basically our routine was always, Go to school, then ride the bus to Holmes©'s house. Now, because we are her only 2 grandchildren, we were always well protected. (over protected.). She refused to let us walk the few steps from the corner to her house. So she drove her car. Yes. My grandmother, Holmes© drove her car a distance of a few hundred feet. (Dont ask.) When we got to her house, we had to give her our lunchboxes to clean. Holmes© told our parents we shouldnt eat from the cafeteria, and that we should take our lunches. Throughout school, I always took my lunch. [of course my Middle/High School did not have a lunch program, so you had no choice, but by that time, I took grocery bag lunches, which Holmes© frowned upon...] After the lunchbox cleaning, we watched tv.
Except for Fridays.
Fridays, well, we had dinner at her house. This dinner was always...hearty? Other kids on friday would talk about how they were having pizza! Chinese! We had...Turkey wings, stuffing, green beans, and rolls. Lol. Now it is imperative that I mention that Holmes© hates cooking. Quite a bit. She refuses to cook nowadays.
Anyway, as we got even older, in our pre-teens and teens, we (me especially) became closer to Holmes© as my Dad had remarried. She couldnt stand that former wife of my fathers, and when me and that damn BITCH would cross me, I would call her, and she would usually let me stay at her house on my Dad's weekends. So, I ended up being her unofficial 4th child. (And of course my brother is the 5th, but he is more of a Mamas boy than I am).
But I feel that the thing that makes her herself is that Holmes© is known for not holding her tongue, and well, her unique perspective on life. And this is where we all die laughing.
Holmes© on video games:
"Jeffrey (my brother), do you know this game has shooting...WITH GUNS?!"
Holmes© on Sex:
Holmes©: I am trying to tell you, she was reading a book dealin wit sex !
Me: What was the name of the book.
Holmes©: [sighs] DEALINS WIT SEX!
Holmes© and her purses:
Holmes©:You need lots of purses. Imma get me a Coochie Purse next.
Me: [laughing] I think you mean Gucci.
Holmes©: Whateva!
Holmes© and QVC
Holmes©: I dont order from QVC anymore.
My Brother: YOU JUST GOT A PACKAGE YESTERDAY!
Holmes©: That was a back order.
(Note: this is a weekly conversation.)
Holmes© and Computers..
Me: Yeah, my cousin is on facebook, I saw that he wrote on someones wall yesterday.
Holmes©: HE DID?! Imma call your aunt, he knows better than that! HOODLUM!
Holmes©: Computers are the devil.
Me: Why?
Holmes©: all these sites, have yawl heard of this my spacebook tweeter?
Me: you mean facebook and myspace? We are on both of them!
Holmes©: Why are yawl on them SEX SITES?! They publish books like DEALINS WIT SEX!
Yes, how we all love Holmes©. Even though she can drive you nuts, you cant help but to love her. And funny thing, every 1 of mine and my brothers friends love her! So Holmes© this blog is dedicated to you! and its her mothers day gift, since she got nasty with me the other day! HA!
[Well, lets do one last story]
Feb 2008:
Me: Holmes, I just got sick from the Subway tuna. Don't eat that. I was gagging and puking!
Holmes©: I told you! Always eating out. Now I bet you will sit down now...[I really dont know why she tells us we will sit down now...lol]
Me: (sighing) I know....
Holmes©: Thats why I dont eat it, I will make my own tuna.
April 8th 2009
Me: So Holmes, what time is the Memorial, I will go this year since you want me to!
Holmes©: It is at 730 tomorrow, we will be there at 545 to pick you and jeff up.
Me: okay!
April 9th 2009 12:30 pm
Me: Alright see you at 5:45?
Holmes©: Yes, I will be there, dont keep asking me, I am always there and on time.
April 9th 2009, 6:00 pm
Me: Where is Holmes©?
Mean ol' Aunt Michele: She wasnt feeling good.
Me: Hmm...
April 10th 2009 8:00am
Me: Holmes, how are you feeling?
Holmes©: I am okay, I am sippin on some water now.
Me: What made ya sick?
Holmes©: Well son, on Wednesday I went to Subway and got me a Tuna Sub. And yesterday, after I talked to you, I felt sick and then last night, i just kept throwing up, oh my goodness it...[Holmes© always goes into a few too many details...]
Me: (fussing) I TOLD YOU NOT TO EAT THE TUNA!
Holmes©: Well, I dont pay attention to what you say, your foolish anyway.
LOL gotta love her.

Ghosts of Birthday Past
Since I am highly cised (excessively excited) that it is my birthday, I thought it would be great if I share my Past Birthdays. [Also because I am waiting for my pound cake to cool. Yes I make myself pound cake on my birthday, I dont like birthday cake.]2003 - Age 16I was in 10th grade. The day of my birthday was pretty chill, just lots of licks. (;-() My birthday was on a Monday. However, that Thursday, I noticed everyone kept whispering about something...and of course, I said, "I bet its a birthday surprise or something." I didnt think more of it, until the next day. Our second period was World History. As soon as I walked into the classroom, my teacher, Ms. Rude gave me a random paper to go and get copied. I looked at the paper, it was irrelevant to any of the classes. But I was like...maybe they are signing a card. So I just kinda blew it off. Then next period was English, I came in, sat down and for some reason our teacher had us doing some type of packet. So I was happy because I liked english (to an extent). Then all of a sudden, all of these people jump in my face and sing happy birthday. And then we order chinese and watch Drumline.
Oh yeah, and I saw Xmen that Weekend.2004 - Age 17I was 1 month and 2 days away from High School Graduation. So I wasn't as pressed over my birthday. However, the weekend before my birthday, my senior projects were due. I did one project on Damler-Chrysler, and another on the state of North Carolina. And I had just finished the Gigantic posters of both where I glued 4 posterboards together. Somehow this was my idea of fun at the time...Lame, but hey I was happy. BITE ME.2005 - Age 18So because I turned 18 on 05.05.05, I decided to celebrate a bit, with a cookout. Now, of course, I figured it would be everyone over my house chillin. Thats a bet. Well, all I remember is that, we had punch bowl cake. And that we had bout 12-13 people here, and we watched some movie. The "shindig" started at 3, and somehow everyone left at 3 am the next day. I don't remember much else about that birthday...To be honest, (It was kinda boring...shhhh)2006 - Age 19Piggybacking on my newly acquired friend's Girlfriend (Joyner, whoshusbandboyfriendbeau is Dunham), I joined them and their group of homies, for Joyner's birthday, which I said, is also to celebrate my own. Somehow I shocked most of them with my beautiful blunt comments. We were at Fridays, and some woman came in looking like a 2 dollar whore. I think it was MISS, CANTY and probably BELLAMY who were sitting whispering as they were trying to be uhh...i think tactful is the word (thats a foreign term to me). So I said in my normal voice, "You mean the harlot with the short dress?!" They all died of laughter, and learned that I am pretty blunt. I remember nothing else from the night, other than the fact that I didn't drink, because I was so well behaved back then. As for the day of my birthday...It was raining. I sat in bed. Only my family called me. I had Sonic. It wasn't too fun.2007 - Age 20Now that I was Mr. MasterMind, I had to do my birthday big. So first, in a repeat from the year before, I had another outing sharing my birthday with Joyner. Not only did I give the waitress a laugh...
Me: " Now, I want the ribs, but I am not particularly fond of these (airquotes) seasonal veggies (airquotes). Can I subsitute it with something that has taste please?"
But I also had Taylor sitting next to me. Taylor and myself are...unique in public, as we cant stop laughing. Then we return to Joyner's house where I again, am well behaved, and didnt consume the delicious alcohol. I also had to excuse myself for 20 minutes and I rushed down the street to rock my dog to sleep. (So what I told yawl I was feeding him, I lied, I had to rock him to sleep. BITE ME). Had a very good time, and laughed at the potatoes and bleach. The day of my birthday, my coworkers shoved Chick Fil-A in my face, and bought me jolly ranchers and Duke stuff. That weekend, I returned to MD for the weekend. I went to my high school's spring fair, I walked my dog, I went to Jaspers and wasnt sang to. What a fun one. Oh, I also saw Spiderman 3, but I fell asleep in the theater...2008 - Age 21My coworkers took me to Hams, my favorite lunch restaurant. Of course, my coworkers dwindled to about 4 by that time. I had the waitresses sing to me, and bring me a blue ballon. I liked the blue balloon. I also had a salad. I had THREE ranch dressings. They were very good! Then, I came back and my coworkers opened my mouth and shoved pound cake down my throat. It was good. Then afterwork, I stopped by the gas station near my house, and bought some sminoff ice. Then, I came home, made chicken, peas and rice, and had a sminoff ice, and watched flavor of love 3. I was content. Lol.
Then, for that weekend, I returned home. Now, if we remember, my car died Feb. 2008. So I was stuck with my old car from way back when. When I finally got home, my old car croaked, so I was car less. However, we all still went to Hooters (Laurel), where Big Mike - - -
Okay, Lets distinguish, Big Mike, is my Little Brother's best friend, who is bout 3 years younger than me. He is Big Mike because he has a FOOTBALL PLAYER BUILD [TAKE THAT BITCH! (inside joke, I am sorry)], and I disappear when turned sideways.
- - - pissed off the waitress, who ironically was from Greensboro, and was trying to flirt with me. Not to be a male chauvonist, but umm, I thought there were supposed to be HOOTERS at HOOTERS...I was content. However, I did have some type of drink. Very good. And, of course this being my first time having rum, I could not stop laughing. Uncontrollably, the rest of the night.
Oh and of course, the next day, I bought my
.
So...2009 - Age 22.Well, I am definitely planning a 3 week celebration of club hopping, drinking, and HOOTERS! [Hooray for boobies! I can say that today because its my birthday!]. My family is playing a lovely role catering to my wants. My dad didnt get a list of wants, because its just like BOOM, he says hes taking me to Dennys for breakfast.. then BOOM, heres some money, then BOOM have some Old Country Buffet.
I also decided today would be a stress free day, to start my stress free 3 weeks, so I decided when people get nasty with me, I wont argue, I will just HISS at them. I find that much more polite.
Lol. Really, I am just happy the Lord gave me 22 great years, and hopefully have have MANY MANY more!
Happy Birthday to Me...(please feel free to tell me how wonderful I am, as this is my birthday.
)

Why Twitter is Dumb
Okay, Lately there has been this "craze" of letting everyone know within 150 characters, how you feel.
None the less, I enjoy it, on Xanga, but mostly on Facebook, updating my status to how I feel at the moment or something that pops in my head. For Example:
"Michael says: "A three-point shot has to be taken with courage, it has to be taken with unselfishness, and it has to be taken with intelligence." - Coach Mike Krzyzewski"
"Michael has chicken and fries, but afterwards will have a 6th bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch!"
"Michael says SHIT! UNIQUE CLEANED UP REAL WELL!!!! WHOOOO (Why the hell she aint pull that out from day 1?! Shoot, Ill take her if shes rejected!"
and sometimes I get angry with something or someone, and I will put my status as such.
"Michael wonders why do bammas think that I should be jealous of them. Son, I am not jealous that your drunk ass fell out on the street. I am ashamed that your giving a bad name for black folk. Talk about bitchassness!"
"Michael told Holmes© NOT TO EAT THE TUNA!"
"Michael asks if anyone else wants to PISS ME OFF today?"
Now in each instance, I confronted the person BEFORE I sat the and put it on my status. However lately I have noticed...(yesterday in particular, when someone pointed it out to me) That people rely on Twitter and Facebook Status for attention, and to say what they cant say to that person, In hopes that the person will glance at it...BULLSHIT
Nothing has pissed me off more. I dont understand why people just cant say what they have to say instead of playing this stupid Middle school shit. Its like you tell everyone in the school that your mad at your friends Bertha
and Floyd, and not tell them...
ARRGH...
And Twitter just builds upon this very thing...Ive seen so many stupid twitter updates such as that...even heard stories...
Come on now...Lets grow up! If you got a problem with someone, go to that person. Stop wasting time and energy. What the hell...those f-ing cows.

New Hope/D-Block vs. Normal People
As many know, I had a unique high school experience.
I went to a private school. My school did not have uniforms, so an eyebrow would be raised when observing us. (back then, after I graduated in 2004, the went to a uniform of a tee-shirt and jeans. Prior to my HS carrer at the school, there was a dress code of a collared shirt and khakis, but that ended when I started HS there)
We had no type of homecoming. We had no football team. We had a basketball team, my senior year. Hell, the lockers (that are still in use), my class (c/o 04/05, we were always together) built them.
We barely had class, most of the time, our day was discussing some irrelevant topic with our teachers, who are all now facebook friends with all of us. [Shout out to Ms. C, Mrs. Muhammad and Ms. Rude]
However, there is the ANH Experience.
The After New Hope Experience.
See, lets explore.
D-Block is the group of New Hopers that I am still close with. (no homo.) My brothers generation invented the name, I just went along with it. Our little homey-squad, is not like most. Heres some examples.
1. We don't loiter in normal places or times.
When D-Block stands around and chills with the fellas, it is usually in someones living room or driveway. Or, in the case of when we came back from the club, in my car. We do not seem to have good timing either. We usually loiter when we have somewhere to go, or before someone has to be to class, or a time where time is of the essence.
2. Our topics always circle around.
When D-Block comes together, we seem to always circle around to always bring us back to talking about our days at New Hope.
3. We are simple.
D-Block is known for not being the most complex in the world. All of us seem to be quite blunt and to the point. We don't pop champagne, or rock ciroc. We eat chick-fil-a, and whatever my folks make.
4. D-Block actually get along with parents.
D-Block always seemed to have a parent tagging along or hanging out with us, and there is no awkwardness. Although as of late, that has been rare. To be more specific, MY PARENTS seem to always feed and entertain us.
5. D-Block is governed by Holmes©
Holmes must know all of D-Block, and they must have a conversation with Holmes. This in turn helps Holmes to hassle her only 2 grandchildren (my brother and myself) every week wondering how they are doing. Also Holmes likes to call all of D-Blocks mothers and grandmothers to gossip about people.
6. D-Block just recently started clubbing, but not too often.
D-Block has been about 3 years late...waiting for SOMEONE [*cough* Jeff*cough*] to turn 18. Most of time D-Block is loitering...
7. D-Block always seems to end up wearing the same thing.
Okay...this is annoying. Since HIGH SCHOOL, the members of D-Block will, unplanned, meet up wearing the exact same thing. This happens with the 2 brothers in D-Block for some reason...(jeff and I) since I seem to always end up in the same thing as my brother [or in our case, since we have mostly the same clothes, except he has unc apparel and i have duke apparel, we seem to were the same but opposite...u understand?]
8. D-Block has no theory of age.
D-Block members were born between 1986-1990. D-Block seems to ignore the fact that most of use didnt have class together.
9. D-Block members all went to PG Community College and worked at New Hope
All members went to Community college for at least a year. All, while at PGCC worked at their old high school. (all by chance.)
10. D-Block only uses Verizon Wireless.
Yes, this is true...The whole Homey-Squad is "IN"
So, compared to normal people...we are weird, strange, off the wall.
or maybe, this is the new normal???
