Hey I enjoyed this class.

                              Writing this blog.

I have learned a lot of things this semester first of all I discovered that although I love to write I may not be ass good at it as I thought. That was something that sucked but it  also enlightened me.

I am thankful; this class has been really trying, but I survived. I may not have the best grade in the class but I survived. It sets the pace for even more challenging courses that are to come.

I really enjoyed reading anything that Jerusalem wrote. She has an exceptional talent. I also enjoyed reading Perry’s work. She has a technique to writing that just flows.

I’m not sure how many of you met with our teacher but, she is great. She is truly talented also.

I learned how to incorporate my thoughts and feelings into my essays as well as the other point of view. I learned many strategies as far as using different techniques  of writing.

I think that my writing has grown as far as format, with the help of my peers as well as our teacher I feel that the development of my writing as improved. I need to work most definitely on my MLA format. I know I screw it up every time. I feel that I might get nervous about although I can’t quite figure out why.

I like to write because I feel that it gives me, personally, a unique way to express myself. I am 30 years old white, and I have a lot of tattoo’s. Most people look at me and just assume that I am not intelligent or that I don not have common sense. When I write people Are forced to just look at my point of view. They are not influence by the way I look or chose to present myself. Mt audience has nothing to judge but my writing. There has been plenty of times were I totally blew someone’s mind, because they had no clue that someone like me could produce some of the things that I have.

For Example, believe it or not I am certified t be a legal secretary and have written many winning declarations. Legal writing however is much different than writing essays.

I enjoyed my time in this class and enjoyed writing blogs and blog responses.

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE. MAY ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.. Kellee J

THUG LIFE

                ITS A THUG LIFE

I had to pick this question for me there is no doubt in  my mind that 2-PAC is and was one of the best rappers of his time. Regretably he is no longer in our presence for us to be blessed with his lryics.

Bringing about this question why do rappers feud about who is the best?

Well in my eyes they are caught up in these "fake persona's" of a "gangsta or thug." Since these artist's usually have a life of their own that does not invole or pertain any aspect of their career, there is nothing else's for them to fued about. The only thing left is who is better.

For 2-PAC it went to far. The argument. Now he is dead all because one record label was mad about lryics that another artist used to describe them. You see they had a “persona” that they needed to keep up with, they were “gangters” you see. So they went out and di I guess what they thought “Gangsta” would do now the world is less to brillant rappers, 2-PAC and Biggie Smalls.

Another Artist that I want to give recognition is Eminem, as I have reconzed him before. He is great. I can not say that I like all of the things that comes out of this guys mouth however I can say that everything that comes out of his mouth is put together beautifully. Eminem’s ability to rap is far beyound any thing I have every heard before. I truly believe that for Marshall Matters to rap on a calibur as he does takes a great deal of education. His ability demonstrates how brillant he is. It takes true knowledge of the vocabulary to be able to manipulate it in such a way that he does. Think about it is almost as if he cruses you out and then you you say thank you.

Although as I mentioned in prvious paragraphs that I felt 2-PAC is one of the best rapers of his time, he is however if he were around today and rap was based soley on ability rather than image and “fake persona” he in my opinion would not hold a flame to Eminem. I’m sure this has made 2-PAC fans very angry just remember this is my opinion.

Another Artist that I feel is good is DA-BRAT. She really helped put women rapers on the map. She came outin the early 80’s with something to prove. She hit the charts and captured the audience with her rat a tat tat hit. She somewhat came across like a male Snoop Dog. She hasn’t been around recently only in Mariah Carey’s Gliter music video did she get a small window to perform. Woman rapers I feel have to work harder than the men because the image is harder for them to capture. It’s easier to take the simple apporch like Salt n Pepper or T.L.C. they were noted for their vocal ability and there sexy image but in both groups their was the rapper.  

OMG A RESEARCH PAPER?

Research Paper

Well let me start off by telling all of you guys that I am most definitely not your average student. I sign up for like 14 units every semester. At first everything is cool I mean it's the beginning not to bad. By the time Mid-terms roll around I start to feel the pressure that I so freely signed up for. At this point the sweat starts to roll down my forehead and my heart races.. I get my grades back and see that I have ACED them so I relax again. Oh no my big mistake. Couple more weeks roll by and I feel like everything is cool, then one morning at like 3 o’clock in the morning, it hits me.... OMG I have finals and term papers due. In normal circumstances this would be ok, I have already clarified however that I'm not your normal student, 14 units is a heavy load.

As far as this semester goes, boy lets see, Murder Book, Term Paper on Watergate, and oh The Beatles Research Paper. Not to mention many ass. and essay’s. This takes care of those classes then there is always Math.

I hate math…. I don’t understand where negative and positive numbers will come into the prosecution of a rapist.

This research paper has taken me for a ride. I had the hardest time just settling on a topic. When I finally did I couldn’t figure out what band to use.

I went to my mother’s to help her weed her garden and when I walked in I was overwhelmed with the lyrics I want to hold your hand… My mother had net flicked some kind of documentary on the Beatles. At first I was like hurry up mom lets go do this it is almost to hot to weed. We both got up and started to walk back to the back yard when I heard someone say John Lennon said The Beatles are more popular than Jesus. Wow I said. What the heck is he talking about. It caught my ear. I sat back down and started listening again. America was in an up roar the once most popular British Band was now looking at the beginning of a ban. Not your normal Ban Eighter.

It hit me this Band is perfect for my topic. It’s fits perfectly into the realm of a band getting banned.

Since that day I have read several books about this issue. I mean it was so bad that even the Pope spoke upon the issue twice.

Some of the issues that I am encountering are where to start. I feel like I have writers block. I have obtained so much information about this band and this comment that I have no clue where to start. My great teacher seems to give me the greatest feedback as well as a classmate Jerusalem, therefore I understand that I have huge problems in the developmental stage of my writing. So with all this information and the knowledge of the developmental problems and the thought of where do I start? Leads me right back to the last question asked. Where do I start.

Ok I can make a scratch outline. Need to refine it several times I am sure.

Need to go through information and chose what backs my Thesis and argument and what does not.

I guess I can start there. J
