English Again

Since the semester started Ms. Hegeman got some man to come and help us with Shakespears Midnight Summers Dream.  We get to the class and as soon as we see that the chairs are set in a circle we know that man, WT, Is in class. We then sit and discuss the do now. After we settle down we play this Game called Yosimite. I think thats how its spelled.  From time to time we do different activities teaching us more about the theatrics in Shakespeare. One time he brought everybody donuts. We worked on the play alot because tomrrow we're going to Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) to perform a scene from Midnight Summers Dream.  Other Schools will also be performing. It sounds okay but im only going cause im tired of being in school.  But overall having Wt over is a fun time because Class feels more like free time.

Community Service Dont want my Services

So apparently all seniors of Thurgood Marshall Academy must complete 25 hours of community service.  Last period after lunch Thursday and Friday half of the senior class walks across the street to the YMCA where we pick a social problem to campaign for. My group chose homelessness.  I would of went with something more simple and easy like art programs for the less fortunate.  Not only do we have a bad project but we also have these two supervisor with smart mouths. Now if you know me then you know i'm not one to take anything from no one. If they knew better they will bring it down about 6 notches.  They're actually very lucky im in the research group because my patience would of ran short real quick.  The research group just look up things for the other groups to do so basically we're the bosses out here. All i know is when those 25 hours is complete they will no longer see my face.  The short fat one has less of an attitude but the tall frail one i going to get a rude awakening if he keeps it up.

Pretty Little Liars

If you know me personally you know tv is my life. When I wake up the first thing I do is turn on the tv, get home from and turn the tv on.  I watch a variety of different shows from American idol to American Horror Story.  One of my favorite shows im watching is Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family.  The show is about a group of girl friends. One of the girls go missing and is believed to be dead while the remaining four friends are being stalked, blackmailed, and attacked. After a year of the girl, Alison Dilaurentis, died, her friends received an anonymous text from someone acting like Alison, threatening to tell all their secrets.  They get into near death experiences and get people killed.  The show is slightly scary but the mystery keeps everybody watching .  Even though this show is one of my favorites, I feel the show is being dragged out and we should find out who it is. Every once in a while they reveal who the stalker is but then show us that theyre really not the stalker.

Im Shameless but not Shameless

Recently I have discovered this show called Shameless on Showtime.  The show is about a trashy white family from Chicago. The Father is a wild drunk with many kids. The eldest sister tries to keep the family together while dealing with problems caused by her many relationships and sexual encounters ( My personal Favorite). Her little sister is thirteen but is in a rush to have sex. The eldest brother is a regular kid that gets into trouble but tries to better himself.   There's also a crazy gay boy, a younger brother,  a little black baby, a long lost sister and some family friends. There's really more to the show but I'll spear the details. I enjoy the show because I like to watch trashy entertainment. But what's different from this show and the other trashy shows I watch, is that the trashy people on the show are white.  Usually its always Latin Americans and African Americans being portrayed as the trashy low lives and I enjoy the change. Its actually deeper than what it seems.  Society as a whole often stereotypes Blacks and Hispanics as the lower class, drug abusing, violent, alcoholics.  We're always being bashed and brought to the light about our negative qualities and we barely see whites in that light. Besides the trash the story line is great and there's a character for everybody to relate to.  I recommend this show for anybody.    

If I Cared about a Dedication.

Hey guys!  This blog I would like to step out the box of my usual ways and talk about something serious.  Recently I was given an assignment to write a senior dedication.  Now if you know me by now you know that school work and I don't go together.  So instead of taking the time out and thanking each and every friend that I have, that's special to me, I chose to look at it as a general statement about school. So today I would like to show my appreciation for these special people at TMA. First I would like to start with Destiny.  Destiny is one of the sweetest, strongest and beautiful people I know.  I've gotten to know her and with knowing her comes with A lot of listening.  No matter what she goes through she always make it out with no problem. She teaches me to stay strong no matter what. Next up is Stephanie.  This girl understands me on another level.  She notices the little things I change and always glorifies it.  We share a lot of interests and with her its nothing but good times.  Her swag is swaggy ,if that makes sense. She does it so effortlessly and in that way she inspires me. Next on the list is Yasmin.  Yasmin is one of the funniest people I know. There's not one day I go without laughing when I'm with her. She's pretty and funny. What else do you need? We also share a lot of the same qualities like being adventurous, outspoken, eccentric and feisty. Sweet but when you take her there she feisty. Delivering her words, filled with confidence, she inspires me.  Continuing with someone dear to me is Ms. Teanna Willis. Now Teanna is different.  She's a bit more boogie than others. She's on the honor roll, dress like she's insta famous, and wears make up. She's driven and make sure her future is looking bright. And in that way she inspires me. Last but not least is someone I will love forever. Amber Bovian.  She's graduated last year but played a lot in my High school career.  She shared all the same qualities as me and more.  From tv shows we watch to the things we do, we were the same. I have to admit she's much more wiser than me and told me when I was wrong.  But no matter how wrong I was she stood by my side the whole way.  When we don't speak she checks up on me to see if I'm good. Attending her Graduation last year Might have been the greatest inspiration of all. These are the best sisters that anyone could ask for and in there own little way they inspire me to be a better brother.  I would also like to thank some special people that didn't get a cool backstory. Valerie, Christopher, Fanta, Tabria, Daniesha, Shalonda, and Taylor. You guys make the school day easier for me and I appreciate it. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of the year and enjoy your lives. Congratulations to those who made this list. It was exclusively made. 

Dictatorship 101

Honestly I'm not that excited about writing this blog.  I know right now you guy are asking yourselves "Then why you writing?"  What you don't know is I'm being forced by my English teacher.  Failing to complete this task may result in a failing grade so writing this is exactly what imam do.  I know in one of my last blogs I told you guys about my hilarious English class but not all classes are like that.  My government class is quite the opposite.  The teacher's style is a little less than dictatorship.  Everybody probably say I don't Show up to the class enough to have an opinion but I never was the one to hold my tongue.  Her class is the hardest one yet.  She continuously assigns unnecessary project and papers.  Surprisingly after school she's fun and bearable but that only confuses me. Although she's cool after school, don't think for one second she's going to accept a late assignment.  "Why don't you persuade here or argue with her?" There's no winning. No matter how right you are, you're wrong. She need to calm it down and a little.  Accept human mistakes and keep it pushing. That's my blog ms.Hegeman. Update my pupil path.

BABS BUNNY & VAGUE presents QUEEN OF THE RING BONNIE GODIVA vs 40 B.A.R....

Misunderstood Talent

Growing up in New York City , home of Hip Hop, rap music is essential in one's life. But what some don't understand is that rap is produced in different forms.  I've spend a lot of my spare time watching a different form of hip hop called battle rap. Battle rap is when two MC's are matched up to rap to each other for three rounds.  People often assume it's just violent words that rhyme but what they don't understand is the work that goes into these battles.  Their verses are not just rhyming violence. There's similes, metaphors, word play, schemes, and delivery are some of the things MCs use in a battle. Word play is simply changing the pronunciation  of a word to change the meaning but still having a connection. I don't know, its kind of hard to explain. A scheme is using words of a similar topic in your verse. Imma give some examples later.  My Favorite so far is 40 Barrs. She's my favorite because her calm but threatening delivery is entertaining. Her creativity gives me goose bumps and makes me come back to watch every time. The video above is 40barrs vs Bonnie Godiva. I choose this one in particular because she did really good in this one, she looks amazing and in the fist few lines she uses word play in a scheme. She says " The Bean need  (Beanie) me, sun visor I smack B******, bonnet only take a minute we fitted (hat) to cap b******, I snapback(also a type of hat) in my killer mode bucket (hat again) plus I move cheep, these bullets hit lids and flip skully's for a cool fee (koofi: type of cap)." If you don't understand ill explain.  The bean is boston , her hometown, but she says is as beanie the hat. bonnet sounds similar to bonnie so she used it still talking about a sort of cap. Fitted is another type of hat and she also uses the word for its other meaning, Perfect fitting or liable. By now you should be able to understand how it work. Battle rap is full of thing like this and people don't don't always catch it but once you get use to it you see the beauty and talent behind it.
