Free Write 3-25

Another blog.. Atleast this time it's free write so I can talk about whatever I want. Kendrick Lamar came out with a new album about a week ago and I heard it's pretty good. Too bad I can't hear any songs because people upload "freestyles" on youtube, posing as if they're Kendrick Lamar just so you can hear them rap. I HATE THAT!! If you want people to hear you rap, build your own fan base, don't try to pose as someone else. Especially if you're not as good or better than them! His album is called "To Pimp a Butterfly". The album cover is very political actually. It has a group of black people standing in front of the White House, on top of a judge. I think the judge was symbolizing the system, and the black people standing on top of him was pretty much saying "soon we will over-come". Also I heard that in the album, he talks about a lot of political problems and how the system treats black men and women. I like things like that because the system is really messed up for certain people and it needs to be spoke upon. You live and you learn.

Random Blog

Blogging takes a lot. I often forget about doing a blog when I get home from work and then I have to catch up with the class. I actually kind of like blogs though because it's an easy project grade. I'm good at typing, I can type anything fast. I'm also good at writing too so everything pretty much falls into play when I have to do a blog. Blogs have a huge affect on your grade. Being that they're worth a project grade, they take off about 40% of your grade if you don't do it. Which sucks, but hey, it's rules. How could something so easy be worth so much? If only life was like this lol. I'm thinking of maybe becoming a fire fighter when I get older because the job is kind of easy, sort of like what I hoped life was like. Well not really "easy" but I mean I think only working 3 days a week for a salary pay is pretty good.

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." - Bob Marley

I picked this quote because like myself, Bob Marley is a musician. Bob Marley is a very smart man but everybody thinks he was just a junky because he smoked alot of marijuana. Marijuana didn't hurt him. I think he was trying to give America a message through his music, his fan base just wasn't big enough. I agree with this quote because every time I hear music it really uplifts my soul. I can be really sad, if I listen to a hype or uplifting song it will have me jumping around or feeling good in no time. All my pain mysteriously disappears. But after the music, it comes back unfortunately. I don't know what it is about the music but it's like it has something in it that makes me forget about my problems.
