Lesson learned
Never treat big people to a Chinese buffet unless you have extra money.
Time in Dc
My father planned a trip to take my brothers and I to Washington dc to
see my two sisters, step mom, brother in law, niece and a newly born
nephew I didn't know I had.
We had fun. I seen a comedian side of my father I never seen before. Hanging with my family, they all spoke with a heavy Jamaican accent, but I could understand everyone. The confusing part was that I couldn't speak it, and when I talked they sometimes couldn't understand me.

Failure
I went to the barbershop to get a mohawk. My barber said "sorry I don't know how to cut mohawks".
History
I hate history. They all thinking about the past but I'm thinking about right now and the future. They say history repeats itself but we never do anything to prevent it.

Words I Never Said
"Complain about the liquor store but what you drinking liquor for?
Complain about the gloom but when’d you pick a broom up?
Just listening to Pac aint gone make it stop
A rebel in your thoughts, aint gon make it halt
If you don’t become an actor you’ll never be a factor"
Many people complain about the problems of the world but never do anything to solve them.

Capstone Project
I'm really loving my senior project. Not only that I'm learning from it but I'm having fun too. My outside is a cool guy. He has a lot of wisdom and knowledge and he's passing it on to my friend Cam and I. I feel honored. Even if I don't complete my capstone the way I visioned it, at least I learned from the experience.
Dodge
I had my music on blast, crossing the street listening to Wale. I was trapped into the lyrics. The music had me in my own little world. Nothing around me seemed real and then I heard a loud horn. A Chrysler 300 was coming at me. I didn't know what to do but stand back. As i jumped backwards the Chrysler swerved in front of me hitting the Dodge Charger in the lane with traffic going the opposite direction. The impact was intense having my ears ringing after the accident.
Reflection #1
I'm a little behind of my timeline because I don't have a charger for my laptop to complete my tweets but did get a chance to create a Twitter account today. I tweeted my first tweet and I have a feeling that my story will be told through my character successfully through twitter. This week I plan on being more engage in finding pictures to support my story. Overall I'm doing alright in the benchmark process.
Depressing Six Word Story
I didn't get in Drexel University.
Zombie Day #1
He stood there alone is the quiet room. Besides of the loud noise from his heart beat, he heard the dead, moaning outside banging on doors. He ran upstairs. The sound was to much to bear. As he laid down on his bed, he heard a glass shatter. he jumped up out of bed and ran to the top of the steps. He looked down as one of the wanders stepped up the stairs. When the zombie got close enough, he kicked him down knocking those who were behind down as well. They just kept coming. He ran into his room, slammed the door and locked it. He put his headphones in his ear full volume, closed his eyes and drifted to sleep.
Japan
I wanted to live in Japan.
The Boy
He didn't know what to do. There was so much pressure on him. He was consumed with stress. His girlfriend just broke up with him for another guy. He just finished a fight with his best friend but sad to say he accidentally killed him in the moment. A week before now he was walking his dog and someone he got lose, ran in the street and was hit by a car. He even loss his last and only refuge, his ipod. He was jumped on his way to school and in the process of escaping, he fell and it broke. He lost almost everything he cherished. In his mind the only thing he can here is "now jump".

Love is nothing but sex misspelled.
Weird Story
It was a normal friday day in school. Everything was well. 2nd period just ended and now it was my lunch time. I always look forward to lunch because I’m always hungry. I packed myself a large turkey ham hoagie from the corner store. It was delicious.
The time I was finished my hoagie, lunch was over. As students exited the lunch room to attend class, a strange pale man wondered in the school. I didn’t know him so his presents didn’t concern me.

Money
What do the green really mean
What do money actually bring
If you just look around and not just in the pockets
For the love of money makes life so out of pocket
It's the government main topic
It's something we spend, but afraid to drop it
It's the root of all evil but a piece of security
It provide food, clothes, and expensive jewelry
Money has a dark side and a light side
Do you spend your money wisely?
Yes?
No?
Maybe?
Probably?

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Tournament
I entered a video game tournament, and here are some of the people who also entered. I lost in the third round.
Magic Money
This morning, my mother gave me 5 dollars for lunch. I spent 8 dollars today. How is that even possible?
Too Good To Be True
When things seem to good to be true, it probably is. I met someone who seemed perfect, a dream, too good to be true. Not only that she was good, she wasn't true. She told me a lie, and thought I wouldn't find out. When I found out, I spent time with her to tell me the truth, but she still sat in my face with a smile hiding a lie. Never go for the unbelievable, because that's exactly what they are, unbelievable.

First Anime I Ever Watched
Sailor Moon was the first anime I ever watched. Sad to say, I actually
I enjoyed watching it. During the time, there were three animes I watch
faithfully and that was Sailor Moon, Dragonball Z and Pokémon. Good
times.
End of Skinny Jeans
I looked at my skinny jean slim and thin
Too tight for me to get my legs up in
It's the death of skinny jeans
because they don't fit me but Billy Jean
fitting tighter than a MJ glove
Fitting tighter than grandma's hugs,
but is that really love?

Samurai Champloo
So I started watching this anime called Samurai Champloo and it's a pretty good show. I would compare it to the cartoon "The Boondocks" but the setting is in the past in japan. The show is very funny and is full of violence. It's about two samurais getting mixed up with a young lady who they promise to find another samurai that has the scent of sunflowers. The plot sounds boring but it's actually an enjoyable show.

Dream girl exists outside REM sleep.
Poem: Dream Girl
Who would think that you had exist outside of my dreams
my dream girl out of my sleep what do this all mean
it seems to be a sign that i should make you mines

she stole my heart like thief, but left it pumping in peace
she so close to me but i was thinking she's out of reach
she got my emotion in waves, and i'm reaching high tide
got the familiar aura you giving off that wifey vibe
a beautiful flower grown out in an ugly lot
look like you been through a lot so deserve a lot
fly like a hi 5, she always look alive
looking like a bride, you should reside by my side
3 Inches of Snow
My alarm went off at six-o-clock playing Goodmorning by Kanye West from my ipod dock. I woke up a took my ipod touch off the dock. I touched the facebook app to see my new notifications. As I looked at my feeds I seen people statuses saying that there was no school today. I turned my ipod off, and stared at my melon painted wall for a couple seconds just to fall back into bed and drift to sleep.
Last 10 Seconds
It was the heat of the moment. The home team was down by 1 point. All they had to do was score. They away team took the shot and misses. Number 8 jumps up for the rebound with 10 seconds left on the clock. He dribbles to half court to be stuck by defense. 7 seconds left on the clock. He dribbles to the left and right and soon number 21 was open. He bounce passed the ball to number 21 with 5 seconds left on the clock. Number 21 takes the ball and dashes to the hoop. As the clock reaches 2, number 21 jumps up above the defense and slams the ball through the hoop for the winner score. The home team won.

Fall Out The Sky
Two girls in mind i just want one
I try to approach but the feet weight a tone
I walk in and go bust my groove but the more I get closer the harder to move
That just my uncertainty that she and I just weren't meant to be
I get my courage no cowardly dog
So I hop over, no leap frog
Now my head in the clouds like I walk tall
Like my everlasting high will never fall
Then all the sudden I just withdraw
Like the leader in my head gave a recall
So I leave the scene feeling like I fail
Lifeless in this body no soul just the shell
At one moment I felt like I was in heaven
But now I think I fell down to hell.

James: how do black people mess up everything
11:23 PM
Me: ard so me malcolm and my friend bernard were skateboarding at acme up around germantown
then people in a car started driving down the block blowing a blow horn.
my friend was like wassup,( like a party wassup)
the people stopped the car and some tall big black bul got out and ask if there was a problem. we just stood there and he started running after us. He came like close to us and ask if there's a problem. We just stood there looking at him and each other confuse like.
Then the black dude ran back to the car saying "go get the rachet", so we started to walk towards acme. I got a little nervous.
Some guy we saw earlier that worked there asked if there was a problem and we told him what happen and he told us to go inside.
The guys in the car started to pull in the parking lot while we were in acme.
We were just strolling around in there until the heat died.
The guy that worked at acme asked if we knew them.
We were said "naw".
We told him we weren't starting anything.
He walked us to the cars and my friends and I just sat in the cars until we thought of the next move.
A couple of minutes a random car that look similar drove into the parking lot but there was only one person visible in it.
He was on his cell.
He drove by our car and stopped near it for a couple of seconds, then he circled the street pole and stayed there for a couple more seconds, then he just drove off, so my friends and I decided to go somewhere else so we went to the C.W. Henry School parking lot to think.
We decided to end the night out and we went home.
Black people mess everything up.
James: dag.

Super Bowl Party
Sunday was the day of the super bowl. The Steelers were up against the Packers. All my friends were rooting for "black & yellow" including myself. I personally think that football is fixed so I didn't believe that the Steelers were going to win and I was right. They lost and the Pakers won.
During the game I had fun relaxing with old and new friends. The dorito commercials were hilarious. The food was also delicious. I can't wait until the next super bowl party.

I Don't Know What To Write About
I sat in front of my laptop screen with a blank face. Life felt so pressured at that moment. I needed to make a story and upload it to a blog for class. It was so difficult. My mind was cloudy at the time. Other thoughts were floating around my ideas.
"When will she text me? What other homework do I have left to do? What am I going to do when I'm done?" These thoughts kept disrupting my focus. I couldn't concentrate. After a couple minutes of useless thoughts, it hit me. I could write a story about anything. So I decided to write a story about the moment of myself writing this story you are reading now.

The Long Beginning of The Story
Last year, during spring break, in the rainy month of April, which is
also the glorious month of my birthday, I was extremely bored to death
and the boredom caused me to watch my life saving cable TV, but there
wasn’t anything on cable television so I was forced to switch my
attention to the computer to watch shows that normally don’t come on
American TV because they only exist in the wonderful country of Japan
so I used the magical power of the internet to watch a comedy, mystery,
psychological, science fiction, slice of life, and supernatural genre
anime titled “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya”; which is about a
beautiful girl named Haruhi Suzumiya who introduces herself as having
"no interest in ordinary humans" but she creates a school club called
'Save our world by Overloading it with fun Suzumiya Haruhi's Brigade'
or the S.O.S. Brigade in short, whose main goal is to find any aliens,
time travelers, sliders or espers(an individual capable of telepathy
and other similar paranormal abilities) and it’s ironic how the
students who join the club are aliens, time travelers, and ESPers but
there is one member who is nothing special, he is just an
ordinary schoolboy who doesn’t believe in aliens, time travelers, or
espers but he soon find out that they are real and they only exist
because the girl Haruhi Suzumiya is a god and she makes whatever she
wants to happen because she is a god and cause things to happen with
her mind.
The Cops
It all happen last summer in mid July. My skateboard crew and I decided to take a trip to center city for some skateboarding. After we got off the 23 bus we decided to skate down to love park. Love park is like paradise for skateboarders in Philly. The ground is smooth, perfect ledges, and lengthy staircases.
As we started to skate the perfect place, we attracted more skaters. They started swarming like locusts. It was only a matter of time before our time of fun turned into trouble. As more skaters came, it attracted more attention. Soon we heard police sirens. It was time to run. Skaters all over the place started to scramble away as police on bikes and foot try to take us down. My friend and I sprinted to city hall, since its the closest place of refuge. We were wrong about city hall being our savior. The place had police officers on bikes trying to take us down. I'll only hope for escape was Mcdonalds. We ran in the street dodging traffic to get to Mickey D's. We were safe.
We stayed there and waited for the heat to die down. We left Mcdonalds and headed to city hall. We seen a cop putting a skater into the back of his car, with his friend pleading the cop to let him go. The officer refused to feel pity. My friend and I regrouped and decided that this area is too dangerous to skate right now so we decided to go to the gallery to grab a bite to eat. As it got late we headed back to love park where we found skaters skating. We joined in. It was 11:00. The cops didn't bother us anymore.

Dog Walk
After getting dress I grabbed his leash and headed to the door. I hooked
the leash to my dogs collar and was on my way out the door. The ground
was covered with dirty muddy snow and ice. I hate walking my dog in
these conditions because my dog is white and he tends to get dirty very
quickly.
As I walked up the street, I notice the pee spots were still visible from my last walk with my dog. I thought they would had disappeared but I was wrong. That morning I decided to walk my dog on a different street. A street I normally don't walk down. Before I walked 10 steps on the block of Homer St, I notice I mountain of dog poop on the middle of the side walk. In my mind, I wonder what kind of person would allow their dog to do such a thing and not pick it up. I step into the street to ignore the pile of poop and as I tried to step back on the side walk, the patch of grass surrounded by snow also contained a huge pile of poop.
I just decided to just walk in the street and ignore the sidewalk. As I walked in the street, I couldn't believe what had happen. I stepped in dog poop.

American Government Benchmark Q2
Click here for benchmark.
I had a hard time choosing which items to include in my 12 identified laws, cases and offices. I chose by thinking about the things that have a negative or positive effect on me and I then researched information about the offices, court cases and laws that are related to my issues and benefit. It was hard finding reliable sources and the most difficult process was finding laws that had a positive effect on my life. I anticipate the government being more involved in my life as I get older. When I live on my own as an adult, I have to carry my own responsibilities and more laws and regulations are on me since I’m no longer consisted a minor.
Bureacracy Reflection
My bureaucratic 'task' was the process of getting a restraining order.
Blog#3
Sadly
no one indicated support for my issue. There isn’t much media attention
on my issue. A policy hasn’t written to addressing my issue but there
are similar issues that had been address in other cities such as
Washington. “Metro Police say they plan to deploy more officers this
weekend after a fight among dozens of youth in the transit system led
to three arrests.” I want to deploy more officers to prevent these
incidents happening in Philadelphia. I think I need to work with an
elected official to write a policy for my issue.
The essential members that can contribute to my issue would be the police department and the mayor of Philadelphia, Michael Nutter.
There was a report citing several studies making the case for more uniformed officers in the city of Philadelphia released by ACLU deputy director Jennifer Shaw. “Using 250 officers and targeting 60 violent crime locations, the Philadelphia Foot Patrol Experiment prevented 50 violent crimes during the summer of 2009.” I could use this report as a helper to present my issue to the right hands in my favor to show that my issue has a realistic solution.

From my previous blog post, I mentioned that the S.167 - COPS Improvements Act of 2009 bill is related to my lobbying topic. Senator Herbert Kohl is the sponsor of the bill. He is a Democrat from Wisconsin serving his 4th term. Kohl is one of the United States’ wealthiest politicians, owning his own family business.
Someone in my city that represent me is Mayor Michael Nutter. He is Philadelphia's third black mayor. Nutter was a councilman of the city's 4th Council District, that included the neighborhoods of Wynnefield, Overbrook, Roxborough, Manayunk, East Falls and parts of North Philadelphia, West Philadelphia, and my area, West Mount Airy.
Mayor Nutter shares the same interest as I do. I want to have the city of Philadelphia safe place. He supports having Philadelphia declare a "Crime Emergency" in certain areas of Philadelphia. This involved stationing more officers in needed areas of Philadelphia, limit the ability to gather on public sidewalks, impose a curfew for all residents, and limit the ability to travel in certain areas.
Blog#1
I am lobbying for more police officers to be dispatched around public transportation, schools and around urban areas. On my way to and from school I travel a good distance and I really don’t see police officers in the area. My motivation for investigating and influencing public policy is to see crime decreased and safety increase. I’m sure that victims of crime, parents that want safety for their children, supervisors of recreation centers and teachers at school who care about their students would support my lobbying idea. An opponent to my lobbying idea would be who ever is in charge of the city finances. I don’t think the city would support me.
The S.167 - COPS Improvements Act of 2009 is a bill related to my lobbying topic. Its a “bill to amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to enhance the COPS ON THE BEAT grant program, and for other purposes.” This law does support my lobbying topic. I want to have more police patrolling the city, especially around public transportation. The law that mentions, "to increase the number of officers deployed in community-oriented policing" is perfect.
How the origin of life through the understanding of evolution is factual if it's contradicts the knowledge of cells?
Charles
Darwin's theory of evolution is the widespread belief that all life is related
and has descended from a common ancestor and that birds, fruits, fish and
reptiles are all related. It is said that complex creatures evolve from more
simplistic ancestors naturally over time. Many people believe it is a fact, but
the theory of evolution is flawed and that is why it is only a theory. How can
evolution be true if it contradicts the knowledge of scientific things we
already understand?
The
beginning of life through the theory of evolution came along by chance. Science
shows that in order for a cell to survive and reproduce, it must have DNA, RNA
and proteins, which are complex molecules. What is the probability that DNA,
RNA and protein formed by chance? RNA is needed to produce proteins but at the
same time proteins are needed in the production of RNA transcription. One
couldn’t exist without the other. What are the odds of both RNA and protein
appear by probability at the same time and place?
The
way cells work and are made are too complicated to be made by chance through
evolution. The probability for every cell to know it’s job in the body and work
in harmony for it to properly run the body is nearly close to zero percent.
Marshall
Brain, author of the article “How Evolution Works” said that the first living cells had to possess “A cell wall, the
ability to grow, the ability to process other molecules floating outside the
cell as food to create energy and the ability to split itself to reproduce.”
How did a cell know how to do these things in the beginning of evolution? It
takes time for a trait to be pass on but the chance of all these traits to
already be given to the first form of life is low. Even though some things have
been proven factual in the theory of evolution such as natural selection, the
origin of life from the theory of evolution is hard to believe.
