All Good Things Come To An End

 Abrams: Are you satisfied with your presentation? Specifically, why are you satisfied?
       Me: Well overall I'm satisfied with the outcome although I wish a few things went a lot better. I'm honestly just proud that I completed my presentation without getting myself frustrated when technical difficulties came to sike me out. I think that my presentation had a heart-felt and soulful theme to it, and I hope my audience enjoy my presentation and performances as much as I did.


Abrams: What if you had the chance to do a do-over? What exactly would you have done to enhance your presentation?
        Me: Ummmm, well I think I would do the entire presenation over. As pleased as I may be about the total outcome, when I think about how I could've used the stage more, produced new songs to release, and used my star piano player Darrius more im a little disappointed in myself. I also wish my videos worked way better because waiting for things to load is also a complete pain. For instance, for my performances were good I loved ecuase you could hear the clear beauty in what my voice has to offer without being drowned out with a beat. But , if I would've really put on a "PERFORMANCE" things would've been great, like everyone would've felt they were really at the best show in the world.
  Other than that I'm happy with my outcome and the entire Senior Project experience was great. Thanks classmates and teachers for being there through this crazy year.

Song of The Week: COMMENT!

This song to ahold of me this week because I love who I am and I will never "FAKE THE FUNK". Her song bring a calm spirit upoon me that I believe everyone will enjoy.

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie

Death Before Honor (Connection)

Another life was taking in Lindenwold this week, and not only should it be an eye opener, it should be a reality check for those who think life is all fun and games. On Wednesday night Dizon Jackson was killed in front of the 2800 building in Arborwood, by someone he called his "boy", "friend". His death, like David's, should make people realize that they need to get their life together because anyday can be your last. Dizon was not the type of person you would think someone would kill. The picture to the left is how we all remember him. That smile never left his face, and he always had some type of joke to tell. Ever since I met him I would always call him Loveles, the pinguin off of happy feet. He hated it so much but loved because it was different. He will forever be missed. My connection to the story is that his death should be sort of theraputic for those who don't realize their rights from wrongs and who feel they have a future in this life. I just hope people open their eyes and get their lives together before everyone is gone.

A Week W/O Egan!

Well unfortuately during one of the best weeks ever Egan was on the Senior Trip having the time of his life with my fellow Seniors. But once he got back it was back to buisiness, but we still didn't get to sit down and have a one on one meeting. We agreed that we'd definatily sit dwn next week and discuss the progress of my presentation and fill him in on all my exciting new info. So I pretty sure next blog will be full of great thing that will come from our talk. STAY TUNED! I have so much to tell him I hope he's as excited as I am.

So I haven't been in touch with my sponser so lately so I took matters into my own hands and asked one of most talented boys in LHS. The name is Mr. Darrius Green and he's helping me pull my entire presentation together.

It all started at the spring Choir Concert, as we waited around the paino for our turn to come I began singing a song that I wrote. Everyone was so hype and started to clap, and Darrius had some music juices flowing through his mind. The next day I asked him if he would help me with my presenation and he  kindly excepted. So I meet with him this week in Mr. Flix's in school studio. He let me hear a beat he created to my song, and it fit perfect! I left him wit a mission to create a brigde hook for the song and he surely got to work. Throughout the week we discussed how the agenda for the presentation should be, and we're definiatly on the same page. I must say its finally coming all together and im excited for everyone to see it.

CROSSROAD LYRICS

Bone]
Bone Bone Bone Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone.. Bone
Now tell me whatcha gonna do
when there ain't no where to run (tell me what)
(When judgment comes for you, when judgment comes for you)
And whatcha gonna do
when there aint no where to hide (tell me what)
When judgment comes for you (Cause it's gonna come for you)

[Bizzy]
Let's all bring it in for Wally, Eazy sees uncle Charlie
Little Boo, God's got him and I'm gonna miss everybody
I only roll with Bone my gang look to where they lay
When playing with destiny, plays too deep for me to say
Lil' Layzie came to me, told me if he should decease well then please
Bury me by my grand-grand and when you can, come follow me

[Layzie]
God bless you working on a plan to Heaven
Follow the Lord all 24/7 days, GOD is who we praise
even though the devil's all up in my face
But he keeping me safe and in my place, say grace
For the case to race with a chance to face the judge
And I'm guessing my soul won't budge
Grudge because there's no mercy for thugs
Oh what can I do it's all about our family and how we roll
Can I get a witness let it unfold
We living our lives to eternal our soul aye-oh-aye-oh

[Krayzie]
Prayyyyyyy, and we pray and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
Still we laced, now follow me roll stroll
Whether its hell or its Heaven
Come let's go take a visit of people that's long gone
they rest Wally, Eazy, Terry, Boo
It's steadily creeping up on the family
Exactly how many days we got lasting
While you laughin we're passing, passing away
So y'all go rest y'all souls
Cause I know I'ma meet you up at the crossreads
Y'all know y'all forever got love from them Bone Thugs baby

[Wi$h]
Now Eazy's long gone
Really wish he would come home
But when it's time to die
Gotta go bye bye
[| From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bone-thugs-n-harmony-lyrics/tha-crossroad-lyrics.html |]
All a thug could do is cry, cry
Why they kill my dog and man
I miss my uncle Charles y'all
and he shoudn't be gone, in front of his home
What they did to Boo was wrong
Oh so wrong, oh so wrong
Gotta hold on gotta stay strong
When the day comes
Better believe Bone got a shoulder you can lean on (lean on)

Hey and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
and we pray, and we pray, and we pray, and we pray
everday, everyday, everyday, everyday

[Chorus - Layzie and Krayzie]
See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads, crossroads, crossroads
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads, crossroads
So you won't be lonely
See you at the crossroads, crossroads

[Bizzy]
And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss everybody when I'm gone
And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss everybody
And I'm gonna miss everybody

[Layzie]
Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
That's how we roll
Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
That's how we roll
Living in a hateful world sending me straight to Heaven
That's how we roll
And I'm asking the good LORD with a sigh
It's I he told me we live to die

[Krayzie]
What's up with murder y'all, see my little cousin was hung
Somebody was really wrong, everybody want to test us dawg
Then Miss Sleazy set up Eazy to fall, you know why we sinnin
And Krayzie intended on ending it when it ends
Wanna come again, again and again
Now tell me whatcha gonna do

[Wi$h]
Can somebody anybody tell me why?
Hey, can somebody anybody tell me why we die, we die?
I dont wanna die

Ohhh so wrong
Ohhhhh wrong
Ohhh so wrong
Ohhhhh wrong

[Chorus - repeat gradually fading away]
