Parking Sucks

I think everyone here knows that the parking situation pretty much sucks at ICC. I mean come on, 11,000 students most of which drive with no where near enough parking spots. Then we have an over abundance of staff parking. Can the students legally park there though. Hell No!! Plus there are no shuttle buses on fridays. I guess they want me to show up at 7:30 am to make my 10:00 class, when I'm forced to park at the east campus. Then last friday it's raing like crazy, and low and behold....no damn bus. Can i find a parking spot near the building or catch that elusive shuttle bus? Fuck no, I get to sit in math class, drenched.

Maybe the school should consider fixing this problem. It would probably help with attendance and make students actually want to show up for class. I have a few people in my classes who frequently miss or are tardy because of the parking issues. I feel that it is unacceptable that we're spending all this money on our education, to have problems making it to class.

There are more than a few ways to solve this problem in my opinion. One thing that I think would help is to run the shuttle bus on fridays. The drivers complain that they dont have very man y riders on fridays, so they don't run. What about the students who are forced to park out in the east campus? With the millions of dollars the college is bringing in from us, I think they can afford to pay the driver's meniscule checks for a few people. Another option would be to give the teachers assigned parking spots and free up some of the unused spots for student parking. Although I took the chance of getting a ticket; I parked in staff parking last friday. The staff parking was almost empty when I parked there, and there were still many spots available when I got out of class. That should tell you that you dont need that much staff parking. Yet I spend 35 minutes crusing student parking to no evail. They could also require psrking stickers for students, and tow anyone who doesn't have one. Towing cars would be more money that could be finagled out of us. The stickers should be on a first come, first serve basis. The final option that I looked at was tearing up some of the grass out there and developing another parking lot. I don't know about everyone else but Im here for education, not to take in the scenery. I just needed to get this shito ff my chest cuz I've been fuming since friday. I'm almost positive that I'm not alone on the subject. Peace, Love, and chicken grease.

Me as a writer AGAIN

As the weeks progress here in English 110, I find myself changing up my writing still a little bit. Im starting to get used to not being able to write what I want to write about. I mean I still dont really like it, but It's getting easier day by day. I am starting to be able to focus better and write more. Although, I am having alot of trouble understanding the whole concept of the Autoethnograpy. I'm sure my paper is going to suck and it's going to ruin my perfect GPA that I have going right now. I still dont have much confidence in writing what others tell me to write or anything besides my music. Im not lacking as bad as I used to though. I think as the weeks go on, I will get alot better than I am. My focus level has changed somewhat from when I first started writing though. I can't write anything in the Library at school anymore. The Librarians and helpers are all loud and disrespectful, and I can't focus at all there. I have been getting used to sleepless nights of cramming my papers in at home. Other than school, I dont have time except in the middle of the night. It's still hard for me to focus without music or someone to talk too. I have noticed that it's getting easier and easier to use descriptive words and learn to use new words that I've never had a reason to use anymore. I do think overall that I'm starting to progress in my writing styles and ability's though.

My song 3rd Blog

So Stephanie told me that I should put some of my songs on here. I figured it would be a good 3rd blog. Let me know what you think. It's totally not a style people would expect out of me. I dont really put my lyrics out there much but here goes nothing:

Shut your mouth man, I dont want to hear what your saying
Talking shit cuz I'm sitting here praying

Might of made alot of mistakes; trying to get god on my side
You can take anything you want from me, but you cant take my pride

Dont got the Escalade with 28 inch chrome dubs
Dont get to hit up the VIP section in the clubs

Dont want to be like every other rapper, buying my hoes
Dont need to show off my P. Miller, Enyce, or Sean John clothes

Start thinking about someone besides yourself
Wouldnt be shit without your fucking wealth

Didnt have women or anything until you struck it rich
Think about it asshole, stop being such a bitch

My lyrics are just as good as yours, but I aint getting paid
Dont have any money, thats okay, I aint getting played

Your lives are so hard, going to those little private schools
Your not a fucking gangsta, what do you take us for, fools

You werent raised in a ghetto, you werent surrounded by thugs
Your childhood didnt make you how you are, you got your dumbass into drugs

I'll be honest, I have tried drugs and I live in a lil hick town
I dont have alot of money, I have been pushed around

I aint rich, but I dont have to pay for my sex
I aint a fucking playa, my girls dont sleep with my paychecks

Whats wrong man, admit what I say is true
Go ahead, come back at me with anything you want to

I know that I dont have all the luxuries you got in your life
I know I aint married, but again, I aint gonna buy my wife

I dont have the platinum chain, or a $100,000 watch on my wrist
I dont blind you with my bling when i make a fist

Dont need bodyguards watching my ass all the time
Cant talk and buy my way out of every fucking crime

Cant afford to wipe my ass with my money
Your life's so hard, thats so fucking funny

You sing and get drunk at night, dont do shit all day
Rapping aint a job, it's no work and all play

Not getting paid $10,000 to do a concert, cancel it and pout
Why cant you do it just to get your lyrics out

Whats the point of a 60,000 square foot mansion and a car for every day of the week
What the fuck would you do if you didnt get paid every time you speak

Try thinking and letting your lyrics flow out of your pen
Pour out your heart and stop worrying about how much money it'll bring in

GET IN THERE JIMMY BLOG WEEK 2

Hmmm...me as a writer. I don't even really know where to start. I really enjoy writing very much. I think that I'm a decent writer on certain occasions. Pretty much, what im saying is that I write good when I dont have to play by the rules. I like to choose my own subjects and write without having to worry about correcting my mistakes.

However, I want to become a better writer. I don't think I would be as picky about my writer if i was better at it. I'm not very good at sitting down and writing something, that someone tells me I have to write. Usually when I choose my own subject, the words flow out of my pen like musical lyrics. What I mean by that is when I write music, it just flows through my mind like everyday thoughts. Also, Im not very good with punctuation. Im sure that you've figured that put by now though. LOL. I have trouble with where to put commas, and where to end thoughts in my sentences.

I'm hoping that this class will bring me out of my shell, and help me become a more conditioned writer. I also hope that it will help me learn how to play by the rules of good writing. I say that for a couple different reasons. Number one, is that I would like to be able to think more clearly about subjects other than those I choose. Also, I want to lean how to punctuate my writings correctly. I think that learning these things will help me to become an excellent writer, someday. I really dont have anything else to say about my writing at this point. I guess I'm still just hell bent on writing my own thing. Hopefully I can come out of this kick pretty soon. Anyways, I think I'm going to stop writing now. Until next time....I'm out.
