Let's Get This Started

Aiight, so since Friday I have hardly being home. I've been at Segun's mostly, arguing and discussing.
Segz party was on Friday, many blacks! Party was crunk, even tho I live 10 mins away, I slept on the couch. In the morning we all awoke to clean up the house. OV (Segz housemate), Segz, Thelma (Segz girl) and Me. After cleaning up the place, we went to tesco to get breakfast. Got eggs, then to Iceland to get what black ppl need- Chicken. Got chinese chicken wings, and a whole damn chicken for £2.50. We basically chilled all day, and then Sipho invited us to his house for a BBQ. Segz and I was like we aint finna pay for no damn Taxi. So I went home- Googled earthed Sipho's place, drew a map, and we walked all the way. 15 mins walk. The BBQ was bare.....a few guys, a few pieces of meat....and loads of Zimbabweans and South Africans speakin they language. I was in a maze of Steve Bikos and Mandelas, I just sat there, even Sipho was in his room. I was there bored, and eating groundnuts.
Left the BBQ, went back to segz, and OV and I prepared the whole chicken, with the intent of eating it between ourselves (Segz n Thelma went out), but b4 the chicken was ready, they returned with a whole bunch of ppl. Anyway, long story short, we began to talk about poetry, then 419 scams, wether ppl who fall for them are greedy or ignorant. and then talked about the N word. Me, Segz, OV, Mos Def (will), Mark and Dave. Will and I left at 5.15AM, I had 3 hours sleep, got up in time 4 church at 10.30 with Will, from church, went back home, ate. Then back to Segz.
Watched Harsh Times, then Dreamgirls (4 the 1000th time) Thelma wanted to watch it bad. Then went to Dave's argued bout religion, then back to Segz. Segz and OV's bus was to leave at 23.05, and at 22.35, they were relaxed n chill, and packing slowly. OV managed to pack all his belongings in one small bag. They left their house at 22.55 and ran to the bus station with heavy bags. Now thats blackness. So.......back to daves, and back to arguing bout religion, about if Jesus was God, or just a dude. I said Jesus was a dude, and when he died, he became God's right hand man. After that we read poetry....till like 1.20, then off to the Glass Spider.

Jesus Christ.........its Bank Holiday...now I dunno what Bank Holiday is about, all I know is that folks go crazy. For the first time ever I saw a line at the entrance to the Spider. Half naked girls was freezing they ass off as they waited to gain entrance. Now me being me, I hate waiting. So I did the thing a G s'pose to. I texted Sipho, told him to get me in. within 2 minutes me and the three guys I came with, were in the club, while astonished ppl looked on, surprised as we cut the line. GANGSTA!!!
The Club was packed full, I mean it was difficult to walk, smoke everywhere n shit. Crazy. The night was aiight, not that great, just aiight.
Mos Def was tryna get away from this chic who glued herself to him. As soon as I walked in, I saw uneasiness on his face, lol. The price some guys have to pay.
Well after Spider, back to Daves, argued about movies and Britain's hand in messing up Africa.
And went home and slept from 6:00 to 21:00, thats 15 hours, with a tiny 45 min break. Yeah, woke up, no elec, no one at home, had to pay 4 it my darn self. HATE IT!!!!

Anyway
I know Laura is probably not gonna read it all, and later tell me she read it all! I know that girl inside out, always wanting me to watch Tyler perry n shit, and not reading my ish.

LAURA READ EVERYTHING, I'll give u a pop quiz!

At Roker Beach

 


When I handed my last essay in, I felt like O.J. after the trial. i just went down, bought some lemonade and walked to the beach to take pictures, since it was beautiful day. I was so enchanted by the view that my entire walk lasted four hours. I walked from Sunderland, all the way to Seaburn- thats a different town. Well I took lots of good pictures. I'll update my blog real soon.

@ the Library

alright, I'm at the library preparing for tomorrow- Presentation and "Multiple choice" exam. Multiple choice in inverted commas because that's what it's called, but from what the lecturer said, aint nothing multiple bout that shit. anyway, the presentation is the big one. I have a good group, but the ideas are cacophonic, for the educationally impaired, it means our ideas are 'noisy' 'they don't mix' etc. But as usual, I delibrately left my headphones at home to avoid being distracted at the library, but I couldnt take it, so I bought earphones lol. Im watching Dreamgirls now- Jimmy Early going crazy in front of white folks. "I want Youuuuuuuuuuuu!!!" but I'll soon start working coz "Palma non sine pulvere" that means "No reward without effort" for the Latin impaired.
Anyway, this weekend is Spiderman 3 baby. it is what it is

and still im trippin from the title- "The Frog Princess", just imagine little 6,7 year old girls on Halloween, the white girl dresses up as Snow White, lil Cheng Sui dresses up as Mulan, Olga is Anastasia...and lil' Tamika is dressed up as the Frog Princess, Frog...that slimy ish that ribbits and hops about like a meth addict, wtf. Nah man, this is some racist ish, let's protest.
