the everlasting list of things to do in order to fight the evils of your boring and pathetic life...

3) Come up with an effin’ awesome theory on why marijuana is illegal.

I’m sure most of you can identify with this question: Why is marijuana illegal but alcohol isn’t? Ever notice how there are different types of drunks. There’s happy drunks, horny drunks, reckless drunks, emotional drunks aggressive drunks and the list goes on and on and on. Notice how all these different types of drunks are incompatible with one another. Often you might hear someone say , ” I don’t want to drink with him/ her because i don’t like the way he/she gets when he/she drinks.” Alcohol disunites us. Sure we can all come together for a drink or two at social events but most of the time you don’t even remember how you got home, let alone the connection you made with an individual. And even if you do remember, who’s to tell if the person you made a connection with was being their true self. Sure you can use the ” Drunks speak sober thoughts,” or however that saying goes, but do we really need alcohol to speak the truth. And if we do, usually when the truth comes out while intoxicated, it usually doesn’t have a good outcome. It may be due to the way it was delivered and so many more reasons I don’t really feel like getting into right now.

But you ever notice how ganja brings everyone together? No one’s going to say , ” Oh, I’m not going to smoke this blunt with her because she giggles to much?” or ” I’m not going to smoke with him because he’s ghetto and I’m a preppy kid.” Sure we might get the munchies,giggle, think about stupid shit, or sleep. You never hear about kids getting killed from pothead drivers! You don’t hear about husbands beating their wives from having “weed addiction.” Smoking doesn’t seperate race or social class. Where the fuck do you think we get the weed from in the first place? Where do you think the dude in the fancy buisness suit gets his sacks from? Weed unites us. As Bob Marley said, “Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.”

So why is alcohol legal while marijuana isn’t? Because the government doesn’t want us to be united! What do you think schools and jobs are for? To seperate educated and the not-so-educated. To create social classes. To divide our nation and to decrease the threat of revolt in our nation! This what our society relies on!

Sorry, if I seem a little retarded right now. I’m sure people have come up with the same theory but I never heard it myself. Just thought I’d share some ideas with y’all. As the saying goes, ” Small minds discuss people. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas.” Just trying to share a “great mind”, ya dig?

#2. Help make your friend’s dream partially come true.

Me and my homegirl Jocelyn have been buddies since the 7th grade. Within the last year or so, she developed an obsession with this dude named Aubrey Graham a.k.a. Drake. I know what your thinking…what girl isn’t obsessed with Drake these days, right? Well let’s just say those heffers are mediocre! This girl sleeps,eats,thinks,drinks, and BREATHES Drake. Can’t you tell from the picture directly above?Now I’m pretty sure her dream is to marry the dude but since I’m not living the famous life yet, I had her settle with some concert tickets that my darling mother hooked us up with.

Taking in sights during the 2 1/2 hour commute to U of I.

Before the concert,obviously.

This was her face during the ENTIRE concert.

Poor people seats.

…And my mission here is complete!

On a side note: Friendship is a choice, not a priority. When you have been blessed with a person to support you in everything that you do, even when they don’t have to,is a beautiful thing and shouldn’t get left unappreciated. Only God is able to predict the expiration date of our friendship but at least I know that I got to experience a friendship with a ride-or-die chick  and memories to last a lifetime.

With all that being said… how are you going to help make your friend’s dream partially come true today?

#1. Scope out the dopest graffiti you could find.

So taggers are just menaces of society who help contribute to the waste of our precious tax dollars,by forcing city workers to clean up after them right? Well…that’s partially true. But the girls and dudes who use private property as their canvases are also artists who simply want their name to be known. Isn’t that what everyone wants?! They just happen to pursue their dream in a more literal aspect. After chilling with a minority of our city’s infamous taggers, I realized that they don’t just tag for fun. They’re passionate! Even borderline addicted…FIENDS… with the constant desire to write on everything and ANYTHING.

While coming home from the red line I made sure to take some flicks to share with you people. Some are from last weekend too. Hopefully I inspired y’all take a second to admire these works of art before the city takes them down. FYI the dopest graffiti can be found at the train tracks throughout the Chi. Classic hip hop sets the mood right.

I am aware that this has nothing to do with graffiti but I just thought it was a cool pic. So, shush.
