in between Christmas, Kwanzaa, & New Years'.....

Having a great break. Girlfriend and I are seeing each other a lot, so that's cool. Got an iPhone.....close as i will get to the car i keep asking for......[fairytale like iish lls] but no, life is good. Love life.......apps are almost done......music is really sticking to me during the break like it always does, but i find myself feeling great.....new year two days from now.....can't wait. graduate, hit eighteen, go to college, and hit the next chapter of my life.......but for now, i'll stick to my 17 years lol......but hmmm a poem is in the works.........i actually have one to post so lemme put it here......

Old Enough to.....drive?

Wrote this poem two months ago.
for those who had the pleasure of reading on the paper then, I'm reposting it.
for those who haven't read it, or any poetry I've written recently, here's something I just wrote in class, bored.....



I'm glad I don't have the green light,
cuz I'm definitely not ready to go,
I need a red one, or a yellow,
just need to take it slow....

Can't even fathom being speedy,
no good comes from being fast,
the adrenaline rush is misleading,
lead me right into a crash.

Head first, no airbags,
leaving too much trauma to the heart,
that major emotional damage,
makes me wish I stayed in park.


Mama warned her beloved only son,
driving instructor told him from the start,
driving that rusty, metal deathtrap,
would do this driver no good in the dark.

But with age comes responsibility,
and does this license in hand,
given this enormous city of roads and maps,
at this intersection I stand.....

So it's Wednesday.....

yeah.
it's wednesday[hmmmm should be pronounced wed-nes-day, but w/e]
and i'm chillin'. jazz music is playing over here [coleman hawkins currently; if you don't know, look up his song "Under Paris Skies"]. knee hurts a bit. and i need a car.

hmmm do i have anything cool to post........hmm.......nah, not reaally. just chillin'.
idk. i'm tired. and i've been under writers' block for a min. shit caught me in ap literature. so much for my perfect essay lol......but poetry will be posted soon.......

on my music mind, i'm trying to find the perfect trombone solo for jazz band, seeing i'm the lead trombone......j.j. johnson's "my favorite things" is at the top of my list. go find it and hear it if you've never heard it. also, search KiD CuDi if you want to hear something different in the genre of HIP-HOP, not rap. and if you can, go to imeem and listen to his song "Day N Night" and "Is There Any Love?", a song he did with Wale [DC artist, please believe].

so yeah,
hello world.
goodnight world.
PEACE.

Whoa....where have I been......?

lls whoa
i haven't been on in a minute. this hiatus came when a hard time struck me. My girlfriend and I went on a break......ap physics had been killing me.......mother and I had been fighting non-stop......and life was just bearing down on me......

now, things have gotten better. the break's been over with, my mother and i aren't fighting anymore [that much. isn't as bad as we used to], school is coming along, and these college apps are getting written lol......

the only downside is that i have laryngitis right now, with no good tea in the house......
:(.......oh well.......
but yeah. hey to those who read.
i'm back.
just have to remember to read and write every tuesday and friday, or at least weekly......

so good evening/afternoon/morning, depending on your location.

my quote to you is this:

The unexamined life is not worth living.
