possibly OCD

I don't really consider myself to be OCD.
I'm a pretty normal dude.
But I have plenty of little nit-pick things in my life that must be just right.
When I sit down in any kind of chair or couch it takes me about 5 minutes to get situated just right. On a bus, I never get situated. There is no comfortable seat on a bus.
I never eat chocolate chip cookies without milk. Can't do it.
I can only sleep with one pillow on my bed at a time. Doesn't matter if the pillow is on the other side of the bed. Can't have it on the bed at all.
I have over 20 pairs of shoes and I keep them all in a distinctive order. They stay in the same place, same row, unless I wear them that day. After I'm done wearing them, they go back exactly where and how they were.
I love to use germ-x. That's not out of the ordinary.
I also wash my hands alot. But, I can't wash my hands then go read a book or write a paper. I absolutely can not stand the feeling of paper after washing my hands.

Not too strange, but some may say I'm OCD.

Happiness

Hitting a route is what we do best

riding slow on an inhaling quest

Rolling through 3o in a 55

Put the Kid on, open up the mind and drive

Video game character is the ultimate feeling

In the atmosphere dont stop at the ceiling

Hello world is what comes to mind

Searching and searching and I finally find

What I've been looking for its pretty clear

In my safe haven , no Drake, dont Fear

Happiness is what I spoke on in bar four

How do I get outta this room, theres no doors

I know exactly what I'm doing, not oblivious

but right now I'm feeling kinda delirious

I'm just kidding, never felt dizzy

Talk to yall later when Ima little less busy

Music

Recently, I've been listening to an assortment of musical artists. I've always stayed near rap music. The beat of the music is what first attracted me. Rap has a certain beat that can just get inside you and help you feel the music.

Lately, I've been listening to alot of Gucci Mane. I've been listening to Gucci for a while now and he is just now being widely known for his talents. He is known for his ganster lifestyle and run-ins with the law. I don't listen to him because I think the way he lives is cool and wish I could live that way. I like listening to his music because he tells stories about his life. He doesn't just say what everyone wants to hear. A couple new songs that tell good stories are "Frowney Face" off the mixtape Burr Print 3D and "My Own Worst Enemy" from his album coming out The State vs. Radric Davis.

I also listen to a lot of Kid Cudi. He is best known for his song "Day n Night". He doesn't rap about gangster things or stuff he really doesn't do. He raps about life and feelings. KC is a very lyrical dude.
Other artists I listen to often are Drake, 50 Cent, Fabulous, Soulja Boy, Lil Wayne, Busta Rymes and many others.
Soulja Boy will be the best rapper in 2012!!

Insults

"Be cautious whose insults you take to heart"
-Michael Savage

This is one of my favorite quotes of all time. It is simple and to the point. However, those eight words grouped together say a lot. Throughtout life you will face difficulties with other people. It's inevitable. The way you handle these difficulties say alot about you. They expose your strengths and weaknesses. They show how much self-respect and control you are able to have.

So often we find ourselves allowing others to discourage and dishearten. We allow a few words or actions from others to manifest inside us and not leave. This is weak. Don't let others insults affect you. Most people who insult you do not matter much to you in the first place. Why should you let an insult from someone who doesn't matter bother you? The majority of insults shot out are false. Blow the insult off like it never happened. Don't let it worry or stress you.

Rambling Help

If I need something I'll ask for it. If someone asks, I give. The end. Help is a good thing but it can be extremly dangerous. When help is needed, the seeker will seek it. Don't give un-needed help. One's life is their responsibility. People make decisions for good reasons. It is not someone elses "responsibility" to constantly guide your life. It is not your responsibility to guide someone elses life. Why should you worry yourself over the decisions I make or he/she makes? Life is only a moment. Many spend that singular moment worried about others.
In essence, what I'm trying to say is: give help, just not too much.

Owensboro, Kentucky

Owensboro, Kentucky is home to an outstanding high school English teacher. This oustanding English teacher works with juniors and seniors everyday. The teacher has always worked hard and diligently to prepare her soon-to-be adults for the real world. She was strict when it came to homework and due dates but was cool and relaxed about everything else. Eventually, some lazy seniors decided they did not want to work hard in her class anymore. She tried her best to get them to work and succeed. But she never begged them. She put the responsibility in their hands. By doing this, some, or many students began to have a dislike for her. They thought she was being mean and unfair by giving essay after essay after essay. They never stopped to think that she was only doing it to benefit them. How inmature.. Blaming someone for trying to expand your horizons and prepare you. Not only inmature, but ignorant. Amongst the negativity, this teacher kept her ways. She did what was best for the students.
