Lyric Analysis: Rick Ross - Diced Pineapple

Basically this song is about comparing a beautiful woman to freshly diced pineapple. After Rick Ross's seizure, his doctor told him to eat more fruits. Ross chose Diced Pineapples & every morning he would eat them. Comparing that to a female is saying that he want this female every morning, every day (sex).

Shorty so fine, pussy so fresh

Diced pineapples that my baby tastes the best

(The girl is beautiful and her vagina fresh and taste good like freshly diced pineapples)

I nearly lost my mind, guess it was a test

Swept her off her feet and went and bought her ass a Lex

(During a test you use your mind, but he lost it because of there actions of sexual activity was good or her beauty. As a reward he bought her a car.)

Paid it off cash so I never wrote a check

Leave my cars at her crib I'm just stuntin' on her ex

(He has a expensive car and paid cash for it. He never needs to write checks because he's rich. He leaves his car at his girl's house so when her ex boyfriend even comes by, he's showing that her new boyfriend is richer.)

Pussy's excellent and I know it sound a mess

I love to make her toes curl as I'm lickin' on her flesh uhh

(Ross performing oral sex causing her toes to curl)

Colorado Theater Massacre

Friday, July 20th, a shooting happened at a movie theater in Colorado. The shooter named James E. Holmes was armed with multiple weapons and during the movie started to shoot everybody he could. Holmes shoot 71 people, 12 died, 10 died at the scene. He was wearing a Joker mask & bullet proof body armor. When police tried to search his house, it was booby trapped with bombs and other explosives. Holmes will be put on trial, but there's no reason why he shouldn't be guilty.

I think that this guy is extremely psychotic. No body should be inspired by a movie or comic book to kill. I think people should take out the good in everything and be inspired to do good. I don't know what he thought he was going to accomplish by performing these acts of killings, besides fulfilling his fantasy of being The Joker from the Batman comics. Now he going to be spending a very long time in jail.

Redemption: The Stan "Tookie" Williams Story

This movie is about the life of Stanley "Tookie" Williams III. Tookie was the leader and co-founder of the notorious Crip gang originating in South Central, Los Angeles. Early in his life he moved from New Orleans, Louisiana  to South Central, LA with his mom. He never had the chance to get to know his dad, but when his mom did introduce him to his dad, his dad ran out again. Tookie has to gain his respect when he first moved in, so get got into alot of fights, but never backed down from no fight. Eventually he was known as the toughest guy around. He felt like he had no family, so with the people that he was cool with he formed a gang called the "Cribs" later to be renamed as the "Crips". 

Tookie finally get caught with first degree murder and eventually sentenced to death row. In jail he decided to change his life around God. While on death row, a author named Barbara Becnel was writing a book about the gang origin of the Crips. They gained each others trust and helped each other with there books. Tookie wanted to write children's books about staying away from the gang life, and Barbara helped him get it published. Soon enough it happened and Tookie got nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and won. Tookie made a video to the gangs in LA that he help start about keeping the peace and stop all the gang violence. After all that success Tookie still was on death row and was executed Dec. 13th, 2005 at the age of 51.

Thoughts On Death Penalty

Capital Punishment (Death Penalty) is the legal process of putting a person to death because of a crime they have committed. The ways you can be put to death is beheading, electric chair, gas chamber, hanging, lethal injections or shooting. 

Me personally I don't agree with capital punishment, because of the way I was raised. I was raised upon Christian belief "Thou Shalt Not Kill" and "Turn The Other Cheek". "Thou Shalt Not Kill" meaning a person should not kill another person for ANY reason. "Turning The Other Cheek" meaning to response to a problem without violence, live and forgive.

Wat'z New... (Top 5)

SMALLER iPAD!!!!!!!!!!...

RUMOR HAS IT... that Apple is releasing the "iPad Mini". Basically, the iPad Mini is going to be a smaller iPad. Instead of being nearly 10-inches, it going to be between 7 or 8-inches. The reason why they're doing this is because Apple costumers where complaining that the iPad was too big, comparing to there rivals Google Nexus 7 and the Amazon's Kindle Fire. The only differences the iPad Mini's going to have is the fact that it's smaller, it wont have the HD "retina display" and it will cost less. This device is planning to go on the market by the end of the year.

ThrowbacksNW

ThrowbacksNW sells retro and vintage sports wear from the 90's to today. They sell all types of brands like Mitchel & Ness, Levis, Starter, Sports Specialties, Salem, American Needle, Logo 7, Logo Athletics and more. Some item can be a little pricey, but for what it's worth and depending on if you like the item or not then it's probably worth it. Some item are under $50 like beanie, t-shirts, and some snap backs. I think you can find a lot of cool finds that are worth the price you'll be paying for. 

The pictures above are some items I liked and they go for a decent price as well. The tank top and the Ohio State sweatshirt is $30, the Bulls t-shirt is $25 and the Suns Pullover is $40. Those are decent prices compares to the $200 dollar jackets they have or the $100 dollar bull snap back that's not even made by a branded company.

This website is a good mixture between high and low prices, and retro with the vintage. This site is well recommended in my opinion.

Higher Learning...

Yesterday in the i.R.I.S.E. Summer Program, we watched the movie "Higher Learning". The movie has to do with different types of races integrating in college. They're trying to deal with school, but also having to deal with racism, financial problems, sexuality and violence. There are multiple encounters between the black students and the white students. If the black students have a party, then then have to shut it down even if the white students are throwing a party too. The police there racially profile every chance they get.

One of the tree main characters named Kristen is having a hard time trying to find herself. In the beginning she's partying with her friends. Later that night, Kristen went with Bobby to his dorm & they had unprotected  sex. She struggled to get him off of her, but he didn't stop & basically raped her. She then joined a woman's group. She also cant decide whether if she attracted to males or females.

Another character named Remy can not make friends. The 1st opportunity of finding friend, Neo-Nazis try to become friends with him and he excepts the friendship. 

Edgy Commercial

SEX SELLS!!!!!...

This commercial is trying to convince you to buy Doritos (Cool Ranch). The guy in the commercial doesn't pay attention to his girlfriend. She tries to do noticeable things to catch her boyfriend's attention. The only thing that worked was a Doritos bra. She made it out of two bags of Doritos and a bra. She barley has anything on and that's whats catching the attention of her boyfriend and the viewers of the commercial.

This commercial could be offensive to children and parents of children. The reason is because of how the children in the house holds are being raised. The child could not be raise with anything sexual implanted in there mind, so they don't truly know what they're looking at. The parent could think that it's not ready to educate them on that, so they'll probably get mad or just be offended.

Current Event: Alex Trebek HEART ATTACK!!!!!...

On Saturday, Alex Trebek survived from a mild heart attack. He checked in to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He's expected to have a full recovery and to be back on Jeopardy next month, starting the new session. He's been hosting for 28 years and is 71 years old.

Fun With The Kids

The i.R.I.S.E. Program & I went to go visit a preschool. This is our 2nd day meeting with them. The 1st day we introduced ourselves to them, today we played with them inside. The activities we did were tracing, reading, building potato heads, making stars, listening to music and playing house. I tried to focus on the quiet kid that didn't speak English. I just took him to different sections of the room room where they had the different activities. He had a lot of fun. After that a little girl wanted me to read her a book, so I did. After a while a bunch of kids came crowded around me, so I read to all of them. After that the kids wanted to listen to my headphones. I made them get in a line and they took turns.

Random Poem

Rosemore Lancer Lockers

…

Papa smurf completion’s all I see as I walk by

Graham cracker is reminded as it catches my eye

Not the sugary taste, but the shape

Taller than the elementary kids that act like apes

You’re dark until I open you, Concord grape

With a simple code you got my back like a cape

Some people can’t crack your code, so they’re stuck like a whole row of tape

Not wide enough, you don’t leave me no space

But still manage to be aligned, box of crayon based

You keep my belongings safe with a smile on my face

…

By Juan Rodriguez

This poem is what we worked on in class. This class is also teaching us how to blog. We're learning writing skills that will effect our everyday life. This poems was one of our daily exercises that our teacher taught us. We looked around the school and wrote random items down with a description of at lease 5-7 metaphors/similes. After that we just turned our descriptions to a poem. The poem didn't have to rhyme, but I cant stand a poem that doesn't rhyme. Hope you all enjoy, Thank You.

Tank Top Tuezday

Every Tuesday I will post websites where you can purchase vintage tank tops or give a link that shows custom tank tops from people I follow, that collect vintage clothing.

This week's Tank Top Tuezday is from F as in Frank.

TI$A SUCKZ!!!!!...

Ti$a Vision snapback are overpriced restored vintage snapbacks that are bought from old school companies  (Sports Specialties, Logo 7, Logo Athletics, etc). The only difference is that they stitch their logos on them. I dont recomand buying from this brand. If you really want a vintage item that's priced high, I recomand getting the old school brands without the Ti$a logos ruining everything.
