2ND SEMESTER

I've made up my mind to seriously journal my second semester of college. This obnoxiously long rant of nothingness on my blog will come to an end and will be replaced with the life of a syracuse student. Pictures, notes and Videos. Im ready.

MIRRORS

Lost and found

The twentieth century, which was born proclaiming peace and justice, died bathed in blood. It passed on a world much more unjust than the one it inherited.
The twenty-first century, which also arrived heralding peace and justice, is following in its predecessor's footsteps.
In my childhood, I was convinced that everything that went astray on earth ended up on the moon.
But the astronauts found no sign of dangerous dreams or broken promises or hopes betrayed.
If not on the moon, where might they be?
Perhaps they were never misplaced.
Perhaps they are in hiding here on earth. Waiting.

Hey I have a question...If two young adults have unprotected sex and the female happens to get pregnant... and decides to keep it ... the male needs to support her, and take responsibility for his actions.. fair to say ? But what about the other way around .. say she gets pregnant and she doesn't want to keep it, but the male does.... what does she need to do ???

SOC: STAMP OF CAMARADERIE

My man Mattoo has been helping me with this project Im working on. He's a big inspiration to me, him along with others. Time is not an issue, quality is what I want and he has helped me realize that. You should defiantly support this man and the SOC movement. Its more than just clothing .... it means so much more.

DIVERSITY SURVEY

1) I believe that racial and ethnic diversity is important at Syracuse University?

A. Yes B. No

Yes

2)How diverse do you think Syracuse campus is based on scale of 1-10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest?

3

3) Are you involved with any clubs that deal with race and ethnicity?

Yes I’m a member of the Wells Link mentoring program

I am the president of the multicultural learning community if that counts

4) Have you ever heard of the class “Intergroup Dialogue”?

Nope

5) Have you heard of the website USARiseUp.com?

Nope

6) Have you ever been involved in an event on campus which involves a different ethnicity other than your own?

Yes I’ve been on a multicultural retreat

7) What are your thoughts about Syracuse being the 8th most segregated school in the nation?

I wouldn’t doubt that statement. You don’t even have to attend the University to realize this.

Just spend a day on campus and that is clear.

8)Do you believe that is true? Why or why not?

I do believe this is true. It shows in the way the students live and interact with each other on campus. They eat in groups, study in groups, hang out, walk to class, traveling to and fro places. Its really divided here and easy to fall into the segregated system.

9)There are 8 other schools that have a similar race and ethnicity class here at Syracuse, what you believe that says about our nation’s agenda and focus on race and ethnicity?

I believe it says its not high on the nations to do list. America is sadly comfortable with segregation. They might not come out and say it but not

HMMMMM What to do what to do what to do ...?

YEA

My family doesn't know what to think about the way I dress and my hair.... now that I think about it.....neither do I.....actually I do... Im completely comfortable with both.

POWER RANGERS

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HAD A SERIOUS OBSESSION WITH THESE DUDES. ITS WAS KIND OF WIERD TO CAUSE I GOT TEASED FOR IT ALL THE TIME BY MY OLDER COUSIN AND NONE OF MY FRIENDS WATCHED THIS SHOW. IT WAS SO CRAZY I HAD LIKE A 2 FOOT TALL POWER RANGER I WALKED AROUND THE HOUSE WITH.. HIS NAME WAS NICK.. THAT WAS MY RIGHT HAND MANS FOR YEARS.

BULLSHIT INTERVIEW

People like Matt Lauer who is interviewing Kanye get on my nerves. Throughout this interview Kanye answers a few questions.(One regarding Katrina) Lauer tries to reword Kanye's answers into, in my opinion, what he really wants to hear. For example Kanye says that he realizes that it wasn't his place to declare former

President Bush a racist, especially at the time in which he did. He realized his mistake, and if given another chance he would have chosen his words more carefully. Lauer tries to sum his words up as an apology. This kind of upset me only because Kanye took his time to clearly say what he wanted to say, if he wanted to apologize he would have said sorry. Maybe I feel some sort of way because I feel like if i take the time to think about my words deeply before I speak, I don't want them to be taken for anything besides what I said and meant. I hate being misunderstood..

....Shit college is hard.

Entrepreneurship Last Post

My entrepreneurial idea is an innovative one which capitalizes on two already existing ideas. My idea combines anti smudge screens and anti crack screen technology. My idea is capitalizing on the room for improvement when considering electronic screens.

In regards to my entrepreneurial idea, my experiences have varied from good and bad. Some ideas and concepts learned in class are easy to apply to my idea and actually benefit my company. Just like some concepts are easy to apply, some ideas and concepts are extremely difficult to apply to my idea and don't really benefit my company or add anything positive to my product.

As far as future potential of my idea, its really up in the air. I really don't have much interest in pursuing this idea on my own time so on my end there is no future for my idea. On the other hand someone who has thought of a similar idea may or might soon be working on bringing this idea to life.

My understanding of entrepreneurship involves taking a chance. Taking a huge finical chance on an idea that could potentially enlarge or start a company. Entrepreneurs have all kinds of success, ranging all between good and bad.

If I had a chance to do this project again I wouldn't change my idea. I actually think my idea would be beneficial and would realistically make a profitable amount of money. The only thing I had an issue with was thinking about how I would actually construct my idea. I know it was not a requirement but this crossed my mind several times throughout these weeks.

My favorite part of the project was meeting with the GA. I was a little nervous sharing my idea, for the fear of rejection, but it turned out to be fun. It was also interesting listening to my classmates ideas for their projects.

My Resume ..

This is my failure Resume. Things i have recently attempted or semi attempted and failed at.

Its good to come to terms with your fails in life and learn from them.

Didn’t get into Seton hall or Hofstra.

From not getting into schools I thought I should have gotten into I just learned

that things don’t always go as planed and its good to have backups.

Didn’t get my intended major at Syracuse.

If you don’t have other options be ready to work for what you want if you don't get

it your first try.

Didn’t get the job I applied to in Shine over the Summer.

Just because you believe you are qualified for a job doesn’t mean the employer

feels the same way.

Didn’t get to see my new born sister when I planed to during my visit home.

Don’t make plans revolving around the arrival of a newborn. They move on their

own schedule.

First girl on campus I pursued rejected me.

I over came my failure by deleting her number from my phone.

Entrepreneurship Lab 8th post (not my last)

The world we live in today revolves and is controlled by the Internet. Most successful suppliers have some type of online site where their products are made available for purchasing. My company will be similar to others in that aspect.

My company will have a website, but in order for this to happen I would have to purchase a domain name. Domain names are usually dirt cheep unless the desired name is already purchased. Then usually what happens is the domain name is sold for a very high price, which can vary from hundreds to thousands hundreds of thousands.

My domain name would be unrestricted and end in .com. To actually find the domain name I would have a creative contest. My company will be somewhat already established so I will have hired employees. Based off of what my company does, I would have my employees all come up with a name and chose the best that suits my company. The winner of the contest will receive a small but well earned bonus, so there will be incentive.

RUNAWAY

The more I watch Runaway the more I like it. Its like a video for his album. I like the concept and the more I watch it the more I like it and pick up on little subliminals. Ive been a fan of the G.O.O.D. Music movement and I'm glad, no band wagon hoping over here. I think Kanye did a good job of creating images for each song he featured on Runaway. I have a vivid imagination so I kind of already had my own images, but it was just interesting seeing his perspective on the messages in his music VS mine. By far my favorite scene was the dinner table scene ... by far.












-Your girlfriend is really beautiful

-Thank you (smile)

-Did you know shes a bird?

-No I never noticed ...






I really like this scene lol
