I update my tumblr far more often than I update this. Find me there.

“The way media portrays urban America contributes to suburban apathy.”

Agree or disagree?

Kicking my classes asses this semester. w00t w00t!

I would like to apologize to my readers (all 3 of you) for not updating in awhile. My life has been kinda crazy to say the least but I’m working on making it better. Here are the things going on:

1. My sister is moving in at the end of the month.
2. My step-family is no longer my step-family. Not because of divorce but because my sister and I are “ASSHOLES” (gotta go all caps for the right effect).
3. Work is stressful.
4. I got drunk on my birthday.
5. Homework, homework, homework.
6. I’m being Prince for Halloween.
7. I’m starting to do arts and crafts as a way to relieve stress. I’ll let you know how it works.

I live the most boring life on earth but I’m fine with it. The more I’m by myself, the less drama there is in my life.

People (i.e. my dad and other misc family members) saying that who I am isn’t who I am. Like, I don’t really truly like the things I like. That I have the tattoos that I have to stand out. That I shaved my head for the attention.

SO. FUCKING. TIRED.

I get it. You’re better than me. I’m over it.

1. All the things that I claim to like such as Bedouin Soundclash, football, shopping on eBay, Adrien Brody, Prince, Michael Jackson, collecting vinyl, reading, basketball, comedy shows, going to the movies, going to concerts etc – yeah, I really truly like all of those things!!

2. I have tattoos because I think they’re interesting and the ones I have mean something to me. I’m not just going to spend money on something just to do it and decorate my body just to decorate it.

3. You got me! I totally planned on having a disorder and pulling out my hair. I thought to myself “Hmmmm, how about I start doing this, never stop and get bald spots!” Sounded like such a good idea that I did it for 12 years! Sometimes you just can’t let problems control your life and that’s why I shaved my head. I started off wearing a wig but I realized that I wasn’t ashamed to go out in public with a bald head. It’s amazing though…because other people are ashamed of me.

Sorry for the sarcasm but bitches be hatin’.

I’d be lying if I said that I don’t miss the way my life used to be.

I miss many different facets of how my life was a year and a half or so ago.

My tribute to Michael Jackson.

I had actually been considering getting this for about 3 or 4 years now.

RIP, MJ.
