I procrastinated quite a bit on all this blogging that I was supposed to be doing throught the month of November. I never really was interested in blogging. I don't see my self as a good writer. I'm just as ordinary as the next guy, why should someone care what I have to say on the Internet?
But, writing these 10 blogs has taught me quite a bit. I've learned that writing and telling stories can be fun. Granted, I didn't tell too many personal stories since I rushed for ideas to finish my blog. As I am wrapping up my blog, tons and tons of funny, everyday stories that have recently happened to me are popping into my head. When I started these blogs I didn't know what to write about. I had no clue. And that was a good thing! You're suppose to write about whatever. Life. Your life. Let others hear what you have to say. Who cares if only the teacher and one other person in the world reads it. You are influencing the reader with everything you write. Be free and open with writing. Let emotions and feelings flow out.
Writing these blogs have helped me to understand more about myself, and a lot more about writing.

Friends I can't wait to meet...
Friends.
They're a unique thing in life.
They can be great and they can be horrible.
They are not our family, but we're closer to some friends than we are many of our family members.
A friend is someone you can reach out to when no one else will listen or even care.
An actual "friend" must fit a lot of critera. Sure we have plenty of "friends", but many of them are actually just acquantices, not actual friends.
A friend is hard to come by.
I look at the small group of close friends I have right now. They're great. I can't imagine living life without em. However hard it is to say, in about 5 years, I won't talk to a handful of friends that I hang with today.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for my future friends.
Good friendships last a long time.
I hope several years down the line I am able to look back at this post be thankful for the friends in my life.

Clogged Toilet
Clogged toilets are a thing of the past for my family. I can't remember the last time we had a clogged toilet...until last week. I share a downstairs with my twin brother, Jeffrey and older sister Candice. There are 3 rooms downstairs and 2 bathrooms. My room is the only one downstairs on its side of the house so I enjoy the luxury of having my own bathroom. I've never been too hard on my toilet. Never flush anything down that doesn't belong in it. Never repeatedly flush the toilet. A courtesy flush here and there. I take care of my stuff. However, this past week was another thing. On Wednesday morning I woke up like normal and walked into my restroom. I used the restroom and proceeded to flush the toilet. My toilet is a fast reactor. It yanks the water down the hole faster than Usian Bolt can run 20 meters. But, after I flushed the toilet I heard a funny noise and watched as the water in the bowl slowly filled to the top of the toilet. Wow. Why did this happen? There wasn't even anything to clog up the toilet in the first place. Well, to make a long story short, I kept the bad news from my parents and solved the problem myself. I never fixed a clogged toilet before, but I knew a plunger would do the job. I frantically searched the house and garage for a plunger. Nothing. Eventually, on Sunday I was able to get a plunger from a friend and unclog my toilet. It was miserable not being able to use my bathroom for five days.
DO YOUR BEST TO AVOID CLOGGED TOILETS.

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!!
