10-20-30 Reflection

​The wiki looks decently attractive and accessible to audiences. There were some pretty concise analysis about the article and their connections to African American History. The music sections were decorative with videos and audios of preferences from interviewees, who lived through the era of 80s, 70s, and 60s. However, it could've been better. The analysis can be more in depth and there should be connections drawn between the music and the history of that era. 

The challenging part of doing this project was to gather music from people and their explanation of why they like that music. It is necessary to see the connection between the sociopolitical theme of the era, and their influences on music and people lives. Through researching articles and events, one could really tell the systematic theme, especially over 30 consecutive years.

I got denied from UCF.
I had to get two shots yesterday and now my arm hurts.
My throat is so swollen and sore I'm going to end up crying.
I feel like I'm overheating, but then I get cold real quick.
I have precalculus next, fuck.
I'm eating ice cream, though. (:

Old man syndrome

​So this is what it feels like....to be an old man...I know im not actually old, being im one of the youngest in the class, but regardless,  i still feel old. Allow me to paint you a picture.  Yesterday im sitting in on a friend of mine's student teaching class. 2 seniors, 1 teacher, 20 something freshman, you get the picture. Im helping with one of the science fair projects and I flash back to my own science fair project.  I actually couldn't remember the details, though i remember the feeling, and some of the things that went on that day.  besides the fair, I got to become friends with some people in my class who im still very close friends with today.  Anyway, after i finish day dreaming I actually started telling the story of that dat! can you believe it? i just told the freshman that....guys, im old...

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. [Marianne Williamson]

This is my all time favorite quote of all time.

Wonder cat of time

It is for a photo contest. Using stock images you had to use one cat, one clock and one fruit. It took forever for me to get all there to mesh but I did. The strawberry though is placed in a fun way.

The Wait

It had been 14 mins and she was still in line. Actually, a line isn't the best way to describe what she was in. She stood in a crowd of people, silently waiting as the numbers slowly increased.  Her feet hurt and after a long day at work, the brightly lit building was the last place she wanted to be. Her briefcase dug into her shoulder, but she was too nervous about the bacteria on the floor to put it down.  She continued to wait as slices were cut, weighed and bagged with the precision of an artist. The problem was, only one artist seemed to exist at that moment. Where are the rest of the employees?, she asked, careful to not appear insane as she talked to herself. As 30 flashed on the screen, she stepped up to the counter. 

"
A quarter pound of oven roasted turkey, please." 

"Sure," the clearly exhausted deli manager replied. 

I officially Hate the dentist!

Today I left early to go to the dentist. Last time I went I found out I have 6 cavities, so today I was going to get 3 filled in. I didn't think much of it as I walked down market to 16th st. When I got there the dentist was friendly as always. He kind of reminds me of that grandpa that slips you money in a handshake. Anyway, they got started soon after I got arrived. He numbed my mouth first, and I did not understand the seriousness of that until I tried to laugh at his corny little joke. The then he pulled out this tiny little Satan's drill and started digging and scrapping, and digging and scrapping so more. It was the worst pain, EVER! Then he left, and another one came in to actually do the filling. Then she pulled out these huge tools and drilled them into my teeth! OH MY GOD! I hate her now. She left and then another one came in, to do the cleaning. Which doesn't sound too bad, right? NO! She started scrapping on every single tooth with that little pointy thing! I hate her now, too. When it all finished I was told to rinse, but the water just fell out the side of my face. As I stared at my numb I couldn't stop thinking about how hungry I was, and the fact I couldn't eat for another 2 hours. The worse thing about it is...I have to go back tomorrow to get the other side done!
