Book bloggin

For the book blogging assignment I kinda have a book. The book I am going to read now is Blood of the Wicked by Leighton Gage. When I went to the library it was almost closing time and i looked up the book I wanted and it said it was at the highland library and I was at Merriam park library so I just bought a couple books at the last minute but I might venture to highland and hopefully get that book i wanted. In he meanwhile I'm going to give this book a try and wo knows, I might like it.

stupid doo doo dum

Ok.. This has nothing to do with the assigned work for the blogs but it certainly affects HOW I work..I've noticed this pattern in each school year that I'll totally fail one of the quarters and maybe a credit if not any. Last year it was second quarter. I dont remember if I was passing the classes but my attendance sucked and in the last week of the quarter I was sure I had enough absences that I'd fail all the classes so I just didnt come the last week. I'd just wake up and find no reason to even get out of bed and go to school..(like why go when Im not going to earn any credits..ya kno..)
Now it seems like THIS quarter is that quarter, where I just find it hard to get my head back into school and focus on my work. Like in poetry class. Whenever I get free time to write poems I'll either get distracted or just get lost in my daydreams. And when i try to focus and just try to write something. I'd be just angry and frustrating writings, something that Im not proud to read, and it'll never come out any good. Now I feel that I've got so much work that when I do try to write I'll try to rush my thoughts and get a headache and not anything that I would call "poetry" because it would just be my angry rants again..auhh.
I know right now I cant really write anything good but I still have the ability to read. I know its a little late for picking a book to read for this assignment..but if I pick a book I like I'd have no problem reading it. Its hard to find books i like because I'm picky.. I like books that are like real life..or uh like can actually happen in real life. I remember my friend had this one audiobook on his ipod and when he let me borrow it I listened to it.. The story was about this kid who grew up in new york in the 70s. It talked about how he went through the foster care system and all these different characters he met that influenced him. i listened to most of it but then I gave the ipod back to my friend before i could finish the audiobook. i would like to read a story kinda like that but not exactly. I just want it to sound real enough so that it sounds like a real story. Im might go to the library today, if my mom lets me borrow her card because i lost mine, and try to find a good book.so hopefully i will...

Vark questionaire

Well it said I have a multimodal learning preference and i had high read/write and kinesthetic which I would say is true. I like straight forward directions and hands on learning. For me I like to get the directions and get to do the work independantly. I was surprised to see that the visual learning was lower than the other ones because I do find it easier to do work when it is demonstrated to me and visuals of what Im supposed to do help too. I guess I learned something new about myself.

May 14 Ouestion

What are the essential things we model and teach others?

I dont know.id3k.. thats what I teach kids. I dont know anything so dont listen to me.hah.I try to be a good role model in front kids like my nephews and nieces and teach whats right and wrong but they probably wont listen to me instead they 'll most likely to their mom(my sis) and I cant say shes the best role model herself but what can I do? I try to play up the good kid in front of others knowing some may look up to me but when around my friends im a clown a ridiculous foul-mouthed clown, soooo i dunno.... all i know is i dont go around telling kids to raise hell but i dont go around telling kids to be angels either...like when my nephew told me he was practicing drawing graffiti and he wanted to get better at it b4 he gets into high school?? b4 even giving him some advice on drawing graffiti letters i told him to b careful and dont do graffiti to impress other people and try to be cool but to do graffiti because you want to do it not because other kids are doing it. I dont want to see my nephew get in trouble because it sucks. but idk dont listen to me dats what i say..

mi playlist

So I think I got the playlist on my blog now. Its kind of jinky but it works. So these are the songs that I picked that are kind of the soundtrack of my life. um so ill explain a few of the artists songs and why i chose them. First id like to say that the beats in most of the songs reflect some of the emotions i have or have had like some beats are dark and eerie and some are uplifting to me. First off the song-triumph-by wu-tang is like the first song i fell in love with, the lyrics in the beginning of the song are sick and flow so nicely. I turned alot of my friends onto the wu-tang and started listening to them all the time. Then theres Nas- lifes a bitch. because life is a bitch for some people.. I know mine is. Then theres Hi-Teks-so tired and Mobb Deeps-Survival of the Fittest.. the chouruses in these songs speak to me and i can reflect with some of the lyrics in them..I got a couple bone thug songs -thuggish ruggish bone and 1st of the month---- I grew up listening to these songs in my household. They're classics--even my mom would agree with that..haha. Then theres KRS one and gang starr both pioneered hip hop and are legends. so they drop some knowledge(as some would say) All these artists influenced me and they're all kings of hip hop to me.. Also thers a mobb deep track -shook ones pt.2- thats a classic street anthem. I love listening to this song when im walking at night..it makes feel that somethings going to happen.. Ill probly add more songs later but these are some of my faves.....soooo chek'em out
