Perspective


I'm back in the motherfucking booth/ Niggaz tellin' lies I'm the motherfuckin' truth..." Young Jeezy

Struggling to finish reading the Reagan diaries(700 pages) has further emphazised the point to me that there's no such thing as "I don't have enough time" it should be, "I don't make enough time".
That guy made enough time to run the most powerful country in the world, watch movies, and go to his ranch to do his horse riding almost on a weekly basis! And if that's not enough he would find time to randomly call people to say wassup to them, and of course those people would be like "yeah right, I'm talking to The President..."

And then you have a guy like me, who looks at his unironed shirts in his basement and the table there that has all types of junk on it that needs to be cleared. All I can think of is "if only I had time, I would sort out this stuff"... Yet last Saturday, I was bored out of my mind with too much time on my hands... Il y'a quelque chose qui ne tourne pas rond...

Last time I wrote on this, the dems had just won the congressional joint and homeboy Rumsfeld got bounced. Now the way things are looking right now, Hillary is ahead of everybody and ex-NY mayor might face her. Shoot, I'll take that. But I still urge everyone to vote for Obama in 08! While some of ya'll are busy talking United States of Africa, an African is trying to take over the United States.
Killah!

Speaking of which, I'm probably the last Cam'ron fan out there cuz that man is trippin' for real! Currtiiiis!!!!

Hard to focus here, I'm at work totally surrounded by women. Seems like all I hear is wedding this, kids that, my breasts this, marriage that, period there and gossip gossip gossip.

Ok since the whole purpose of this was to practice on my writing skills. I'm gonna write about an event seen through my eyes at that time... Because I was thinking the other day, it's funny how certain events seem not to affect you because they are so far and out of your little world, and yet they completely do...


The alarm wakes me up fom a long night, most of which was spent playing Madden and just chillin' till the early hours of the morning, you know college stuff... And all I can think about is "damn do I really have to go to this silly pre-requisite english class?"

I mean seriously, if I manage to do well on the Sat's and pass high school english then obviously I know how to speak English!!! So what's all this english classes in University for? I swear, if I didn't currently have a D in this class I wouldn't even bother to wake up and go and listen to that Hemingway Shakespeare bullshit...


Anyway let me go brush my teeth, wash my face and change clothes... No time for a shower (Sorry ya'll gotta keep it real)

...Wassup, with EPSN Sportcentre today, instead of showing me my bball highlights they busy showing some silly big building with dust all around it. Must be a commercial for one of these new action movies. I don't know what's up with people and movies really, for most of them you just sit down and watch some bs fantasy that's unrealistic... Moi je comprends pas. But I'm definitly watching Spiderman when it comes out though.

Walking on my way to class...
And it's worse when you're going to class and u know there's no cute girls in the class. It makes the class even more boring. Oh shit, just realized I had a written assignment due for class today, and didn't do it. And I already have a D! Damn, maybe I should have worked on it yesterday instead of playing video games...

Naaa!

Stepping into class..
Hm, this woman looks sad today, what's her problem?

"Ok Class the news has just come in that the US is under a terrorist attack, a plane has just crashed into the world trade center and it seems like a few more have been highjacked..."

What the f*&!!! ces terroristes la sont arrivés à un autre niveau. Anyway, that's cool with them, but what about the assignment that was due today?

So class is cancelled today. I think you guys should instead write something about how you feel today about this attack. And then when you're done, you can go back to your dorms to check the news.

Booyah! There's hope for my D!
Ok let me just stare at a blank page and wait till the first person leaves so I can bounce...


And that's it. I later on went to my room to see that the movie promotion was actually WTC burning up, and I actually saw the second plane crash into the building live...

But looking back, I find it interesting that the most important historical event in my lifetime happens and what does it mean to me on the spot? It means that my assignment is not due and that my D is not gonna go down.

It's all about perspective I guess...
