With no uni work for a whole week, I dunno what to do? I have American Football, but that's only on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday (for 2 hours) I thinking of photography, but Sunderland's weather is really bad, it all depends, if the weather is good, I'll hop out of bed and go and take pics, and if the weather is bad, I'll attempt to read Malcolm X's autobiography again, or go to the library and get Fredrick Douglass' autobiography, but William (Cunningham) told me it's a difficult read because of the style of language, but we'll see.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?

Kirk Franklin
Don't get me wrong, I like Kirk and his music, but what I don't get is that, all he does is prodcuce the music, probably write some songs, and repeat the end of every line. The majority of the vocals are done by his group, but it is KIRK that appears on the album cover. As if that's not bad enough, he does not just sit down and smile, he has covers like a photo of his wet head, looking like a swimmer who lost a race. The best and probably vaniest one is the cover of his new album: The Fight of My Life. The album cover shows Kirk as a boxer who just knocked his opponent to the ground, and he stands menacingly over, while the ref prevents Kirk from probably landing a few more blows.
I wonder how the singers feel
Kirk: That's guys, that's the last song, the album is done!
Singers: Hallelujah!!
Kirk: The album cover shoot is next week, I won't be available much, I need to go to the gym
Singers: How is the cover going to look like?
Kirk: We are still deciding, but right now, all I know is that I'm shirtless
Singers: On the cover?
Kirk: Yeah, and the back as well. Okay, gym time. Thanks again

Military Style
With my new military jacket, I need a beret and military patches to complete my look. There is an Army and Navy surplus store in Newcastle, I'm gonna go and get a black beret, because I also have a black military jacket. If they have any British Army patches, I'll get em too.
Say Hello to El Capitan.

Loo of the Year
Yesterday when Cunningham, Buff and I went shopping in Newcastle, we went into a plaza called 'The Gate', when we went to the toilet for our oddly synchronized peeing patterns (actually Buff had to do a Number 2) we noticed a sign on the wall, it read that the Toilets had been named 'Loo of the Year' for two years running. That's right, LOO OF THE YEAR. We were expecting to see something special, like bidets, or gold plated seats, but it was just your average toilet, save for the motion sensitive taps...
The funny thing was who judges the quality of toilets, and whoever that is, it must be a very sorry job. Going around England, seating on toilet seats and scribbling on a notepad. What are the criteria? Comfort of the seats, urinal heights? Size of mirror?
As William and I rested by the sinks and spoke to Buff who was in a cubicle, some people came in to use the facilities, they must have found it quite intimidating to see two men just relaxing and having a conversation in the toilet.
When one young man came inside to use the urinals, Buff started making funny noises from the cubicle, like he was pushing out a brick, the man tried to remain civil and not laugh, but the sounds became more like childbirth than toilet use. As he left the toilet, I asked "Buff, you alright in there?" the man couldn't help it, he laughed and left.
Yep, that's our adventure in toiletville. As we left we asked a cleaner who gives the awards for Loo of the Year...she had a confused look on her face. Enough said

Shopping Therapy
Wednesday night was amazing, I had handed in my last essay, I had every single reason to celebrate, every single reason. Went out with William and his friend Buff. Let's just say it was a classic night! Suddenly all the beautiful ladies who had been hiding away emerged on the club scene, much to our delight. Went back to William's (partly coz there is a murderer on the lose in Sunderland, and the polcie helicopters are searching for him..Sunderland is turning into Compton)woke up today, chilled and went shopping. Shopping at outlet stores. Basically they sell top Brands, Next, Puma, Reebok, Nike for reduced prices, and not cheap quality stuff, No, basically what you'd see on the high street.
We went into the Reebok store and Cunningham showed me this pair of G-Unit's, I was not impressed with the shoes, nor the brand, he'll no I'm I gonna promote Fiddy. As I talked to William, I glanced behind him and spotted a pair of Reebok Derrty One's, Nelly's shoe. I could not believe it, a big Nelly fan that I am, I ran toward them, grabbed them and admired them, basically I had to buy them, trouble was there were none in size 13. Highest was size 12. I tried a size 12 and it was hell to wear, I nearly cried, I was this close to getting Nelly's sneakers for £19.99 and they were too tight. I had to concede, I decided to get Lupe Fiasco's sneakers instead...not dissing Lu' by the way.
But something in me said I should try a different pair of size 12s, my inner mind said it might just be a bit lose. So I picked up a box and voila it fit perfectly!!!! Yes, yes, some Nelly merchandise!! I rushed to the till and told him how much I wanted to get them. For 19.99, it's a great deal. Buff got some G-Units.
I then decided to keep up with my Military look, by getting a Green Army jacket from NEXT. It feels just like the ones in World War II in the museums. A reduction from £79.99 to £30...I could not resist.
Next thing Buff went to the Nike store to get some Jordan's for 35 pounds, a great deal, on the high street it'll cost you more than a hundred. Anyway, we go to the till thinking it's £35, only for the cashier to scan it and say it was SEVEN..TEEN Fifty..at first we heard SEVENTY pounds, we were like excuse me, a pair of Fresh Jordan's for £17.50 God is to be praised!!!
Basically it was a great shopping experience, will definately be going back many more times. This has actually motivated me to get a job!! at Nando's restaurant, Hell Yeah!! We went home, grabbed a whole chicken from my crib, went over to William's and devoured it.
Pics of my items below. Laura, you can expect something, come Spring, what's your shoe size?

Baby Making
Nicole Richie and Christina Aguilera give birth to their children just hours apart at (and in fact Aguilera was just a couple rooms away from Richie) the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Richie's child born January 11 and Aguigui Jan 12. Congrats to them both. Agui-gui hasn't named her kid yet, but Richie has decided to go with Harlow Winter Kate Madden...Wierd names if you ask me, but pretty darn normal in celebrity world, what happened to tried and tested names like Laura, Jessica, Kelly....I hope Agui-gui goes for a more normal name.
Uncle Lionel is now a Grandpa!
