another week

Well the day with the sub consisted of watching a YouTube video and leaving. Wasn't too thrilled that we still technically had to go that day, but that's ok because I still had to wake me up and get some other class work done.

In terms of class it's fun. I really enjoy your class actually and maybe I know absolutely nothing about country music, but it's just interesting to see how many people in not just this class, but this whole area that listens to it. It's even weirder for me to think that country music is probably "the most popular" type of music in the US. If you're not in a major city, the rest of the United States is just like Champaign/Urbana pretty much and I bet they listen to country too because that's just the style when you're not in urban settings. Probably why the only other festival I hear of that's not EDM is Country Thunder.

Chicken or the Egg

We've been working on music related things still. Working in larger groups of people is actually kind of nice. It actually makes things not as weird one-on-one.

The latest document I have write is about music's relationship with culture/how people live/act. This is an interesting argument and a difficult one to explain in my opinion because there are a lot of variables that are dependent on one another that could prove that culture influences music, or music influences culture.

But with that being said, I really believe it's the culture that drives the music, but the music can affect the culture which in turns also changes the music again. It seems like chicken or the egg. But in times before manmade - recorded music, there was still the culture of raggedy primitive humans and their leopard skin clothes, tarzan hair styles, rock/stick tools, etc. So I believe one day a Fred Flintstone  figure was pissed off at Barney, decided to smash a bunch of his stuff and boom we created music. The different sounds of the crashing of supplies were then "manually manipulated" into sounds/music. I think that's pretty creative...

scrambling to get it all done this week

This week has been busy thanks to late start CIS. English class remains to be good. There are times when I feel like I need it to be more interesting to hold my attention (especially when I don't take my Adderall), but hey it's just an English class what more can I really ask for. I feel like I could of done a better job on my rough draft, and also I slacked on forgetting to post a blog post. Thankfully, I have a Professor who let me write this post anyways. But I didn't necessarily slack on the draft, as much as I don't think I really understood the whole thing. I might of missed some instruction by not paying attention whether it was me spacing out or focusing on an in-class assignment while you're talking.

Lots of stuff I'm starting to have to manage, and I still have another late start class starting October eighteenth I believe.

English Week 2

So far not so bad again... I'm actually kind of excited to be focusing our writing on music related things. Having a hard time picking out what five songs reflect me. Some of the ones I'd wanna use wouldn't probably "school appropriate" but this is college right? We're all adults here and know plenty of songs contain things about some people driving faster than the posted speed limit, smoking skunky things, details of intimate relations, and whatever else we were told to be hush hush this is bad. It's funny to see how we we're all told one thing or another but the "truth" comes to you through experience. Like you were told not to lie.. but figure out what to lie and not lie about... After last class though, that was some real bullshit. I sense a lot more than just culture difference between urban/rural but some racism coming from Mr. "OH ARENT DEY DUH SAME PURSUN" see this is where I'm thinking

Proceed with Caution this is venting no where serious... Just pure venting rage.

This kid has got to be kidding me right? Chris brown and J Cole are VERY different looking. Distinctively looking. This is some kid trying to make a joke to his diesel bros about how "all black people look the same stereotype." How can I confirm that??? Cause I asked him if he was serious and he said ya with that fake ass smirk on his face, and all his buddies are laughin about it. 

Like guess what I can be a stereotypical ass hat too... "ya'll" bromos (bro's + homos) over there look more alike then they do cause you're all ugly as heeeeeellllll. WHAT happened to your faces??? If I asked you how many teeth you all had, what are the chances I'd get the same number at leaaast twice? Or even in the range of 28-32? (None lol).....

So depressing to see such a group ugly nazi pigs. White trash in beat up timberlands, swamp ass soakin' your dirty jeans. Go back to cornfield B in your Shitstang (mustang joke to fat diesel bro #4) and go blow up some PROOOOOPAAAAANE tanks, or fart in jars or whatever the hell you do. I'm gonna go back to being an important part of society. Sure we need laborers, people who are so "tough n fuck the governemnt, gimee  mah guns" to work for people like me who will round up these animals and put them to work. Just kidding I'd never work in an industry were I had to put up with anyone like these guys hahaha. Oh god I'm a keyboard warrior right now but say another dumb racist comment/joke in class and I'm gonna go off and make you feel like the UNEDUCATED, inbred worthless sack of shit you really are. Edu-macation is important my belt bustin friends. It teaches ye about diesel and how to mix cow shit and not get it all over your pants, but oh wait---- doesn't look like ya'll got that down now does it, partner?

Why am I posting this since they could find this blog if they wanted to... Cause which one of those dudes has a computer at home lol. Oh wait.. I'm sure they do... But who knows how to use one. That's the better question.. But is it really a question because I already know the answer. (It's no.)

Week 1

My first week at Parkland has been pretty cool. English isn't so bad. I like it more than my English class I had at Harper. Most of the dudes in the class are pretty weird imo. Probably because I'm not from "theuhhh couuuntry" or whatever. Not that I have anything against that. I just find it amazing how I'm from 150 miles North and I'm in the same state and it's as if I'm in the south. However, the teacher of my English class is a pretty dope Professor. I can tell I'll do well in this class because I know I can make this fun and just achieve what she wants from the class. There's a bit of a workload. And I'm a procrastinator, but she is pretty forgiving which is a plus for me but I don't want to abuse it either because she doesn't deserve that.
