Do The Smurf,Do the Wop,Baseball Bat. Rooftop ,Like I'm Bringing '88 Back

It's now 2008, and I think it feels like 1988 is coming back.The 80's is coming back strongly,and I think we have a lot of influence from the 80's.Some kids be acting like this stuff is new. My parents graduated in the 80's,and they be like "They bringing back the same stuff they had when we was in high school".It be funny to think that my own parents wore this stuff.And my sister,she was born in the eighties, and she love that era.She dresses like she's in the eighties everyday,and my mom jokes with her saying comments like "You look like Prince with that outfit on".Lol it be funny,but I love my sister's style.She is very, I mean VERY eccentric with style lol but she loves the eighties very much.

I mean the slang, style,the horrible big hair,everything is coming back. For example, "fresh" of "dope".Will Smith and Run DMC was using that back in the 80's.
And now you see many young people use this slang. The Cool Kids for example use 80's style in their fashion. They look like some people you see in the 80's.Fashion icons, like Kanye West, is bringing back 80's trends.I mean look at him, he got the same glasses that Sho Nuff had in The Last Dragon!


Tell me y'all,what you think about the 80's coming back in style?

My Kind of Jams

Smoking Can Smell

What do you think about smoking? I know that time and time again people have said smoking can kill you, or they're nothing but cancer sticks. Personally I think smoking is a gross habit. I say that because after someone smokes, I think they smell really bad. I am very cautious about smell in general. I don't care what you smoke: cigars, weed, cigarettes, whatever, it can leave a bad scent. Sometimes when I walk down the street towards school, I observe that some people smoke along my way. I usually walk a little bit faster to walk past them and in front of them.Not because I am nervous or anything, but I don't want the smoke to come on my clothes, then people would be thinking I be smoking that stuff and I smell bad. But overall I think smoking just smell gross, so therefore it will make smoking in general gross.

How Hard do You Work to Get to the Fabulous Life?

Is it really hard nowadays to get the fabulous life? I really don't know what to think. I think now people don't really work as hard to get success. Don't get me wrong, there are some people who work their butt off to reach success, but it seems like now some people don't want to do that. I think some people want the easy way out to get things, the instant gratification. What about goals, determination, dreams, DRIVE? For example, some of these music artists and celebrities. Some of them just become famous just for the sake of it, maybe because they have money. I mean some of the celebrities really don't have an occupation they are really working hard in, they're just famous just because. Sometimes that bothers me because all they are doing is just blowing their parents' money and is the main story on E! News for stupid shenanigans. I mean really what are they doing with themselves? I don't know, maybe if you got it like that, maybe you can do that. But all I am saying is I miss it when they talk about how people got from the bottom to the top, and they got to the top through hard work. There's always going to be obstacles that get in the way, and they learned to overcome those obstacles. Nothing in life comes easy; I just wish that some people can see that.

Trannies in 2008

Discrimination has been around for a long time. From women to black people to gay people, they all had to work hard to prove that they are worthy in society. But what about the transvestites and transgenders? Will they overcome discrimination? Recently on America's Next Top Model cycle 11, they qualified a transgender name Isis. I think some of her competitors may be hating on her. She did very well on her photoshoots so far, and she wasn't even born a girl!! Wow, it makes some of the other girls look crappy. And there's Laverne, the tranny who recently got eliminated on I Want to Work For Diddy. Do you think her competitors were hating on her? To me she worked pretty hard, and maybe they tried to get her out of the game because she was a threat. Maybe Isis and Laverne are too much competition for some people, or maybe because of the fact that they are transgenders, it would throw people off. It probably throw people off because these trannies are proving that they can fulfill the roles of women just as good as an average woman. It might be coincidental that two transgenders tried out for a competiton, but maybe this is the year where trannies get to shine. Maybe they want to break stereotypes of transgender people and show the transgender community that it is okay for them to do other things besides doing typical tranny stuff (like dressing in drag). But what do you think? Do you think trannies have a chance in this world?

The 2008 VMAs

Just yesterday they showed one of the biggest awards for MTV, the Video Music Awards aka the VMAs. It was hosted by Russell Brand, who indeed talked way too much the whole night. Half of the people didn't even know what he was saying lol but besides him talking the VMAs was okay, but it did have memorable highlights. For instance, Britney Spears finally won a VMA for the first time. YAY!!! She deserve it.Many people were anticipating for her,Lil Wayne and The Jonas Brothers to perform. I mean people go crazy over Lil Wayne but have you seen how popular The Jonas Brothers are? It's crazy! All the teenage girls like them, black or white. They're like a modern Beatles... and Rihanna.Wow she was banging on the performance she did with T.I. but her Disturbia performance was okay. I mean if she didn't have those dancers, it could've been a bad performance. I really liked Kanye West's performance; I was intrigued and I didn't expect for him to sing, that was really good. Some of the other performances to me were garbage. Christina Aguilera needed to stop, I would have rather seen Britney perform "Gimme More" than to see that performance Christina did last night. And Lil Wayne? I thought it was okay too. I thought he would've did more last night. And what was with Pink and that tight black outfit similar to Rihanna's? She was looking like Ms. Piggy with her boobs about to come out her outfit. But overall I thought the VMAs had good ideas this year, having it at Paramount Studios, and how they had Travis McCoy and DJ-AM dj in between breaks. I didn't like how they kept giving away surprises during the commercials though. But I thought it was okay this year. Can't wait for VMA 2009!

Vending Machines

At school I've observed that there is a change in buying snacks and other items at school. It used to have the vending machines open all day and the school store open all day. But now all of a sudden, the machines and the school store are only open before and after school. To me that is just a dumb idea. I mean many of the students go to lunch to buy things out of the vending machine and the school store because they don't like the cafeteria food. I mean I don't blame them for that, because the food don't always be on point. And that to me just defeat the purpose of having those things in the first place. So I think this school needs to make a choice in whether to keep these things open all day or just have none of it at all. They may as well not have these things at all because I wouldn't be interested buying things in the morning, you barely have time. And it might work in the afternoon but some people go home after school and it may not be open that long after school. So to me I think they need to get it together.

Should New Orleans Reconsider Themselves?

Recently Hurricane Gustav hit New Orleans and the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama. It didn't cause as much damage as Hurricane Katrina but the people of New Orleans had evacuated more early on than they did Hurricane Katrina. I understand that the mayor does not want to make the same mistake as Katrina, but now you may as well tell the people to live somewhere else, permanently. I don't think it's fair that they have to leave once again because these are natural disasters they can't control, and the problem should've been controlled when Hurricane Katrina happened. The levees should've been repaired after that happened and now another hurricane happened. What next? Then Hurrican Ike just passed, and now Hurricane Hannah is about to approach. It's sad to see one of America's beloved cities be destroyed little by little because there is no control over how these natural disasters keep happening. I know nobody can't control hurricanes, but at least try to make an effort on preserving the city, because it's been there for years and no one, especially the residents of New Orleans, wants to see it go away.
