The most paradoxical thing about my high school life is the fact even though I come to school everyday I'm not really at school.Though I know without an education there are huge limitations to what I can pursue in my adult life ,there are always other things on my mind whether it be the latest love interest,drama at school or home or whathow I can't wait for basketball to start.
Another paradox in my life is the fact that I want to grow upbut i don't want to. Most teenagers are eager to grow I on the other hand dread the days of carelessness,free room and board in the midst of other things being stripped away from me.On the other hand I want to be able to be on my own so that I can do all the stuff I want to do. You maybe thinking wow this kid's gonna have a hard time out in the real world, but ask yourself what is the real world and get back to me cause i sure as hell am confused about that.

Music Television better known as MTV is a popular American Television channel started in 1981 for teens and young adults. This station has been one of the biggest teen icons and maybe the longest running.When the show first started it only showed music videos now it has branched off many sister channel such as Nickelodeon, VH1, and MTV2.The reason I think MTV is an icon is because if you asked any random person the street about MTV they would be familiar enough with it to tell you a little about or maybe even tell you what their favorite show was.

"I came to hear the band today I ain't thinkin 'boutcha I came to hear my drummer play boom clack boom clack..." --Erykah Badu

"But I do learn a lot from each thing, because everything is necessary. We're all here for a reason, not just to group up with your own group." --Erykah Badu

"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something." --Henry David Thoreau


"It's lookin' bad need some hope
like the words maybe, if, or probably more than a hobby
when my turntables get wobbly they don't fall
I'm sorry y'all I often drift I'm talkin' gift
so when it comes you never look the horse inside it's grill
of course you know I feel like the bearer of bad news
Don't want to be it but it's needed so what have you
Now question is every nigga with dreads for the cause?
Is every nigga with golds for the fall? Naw
So don't get caught in appearance" --Andre 3000


I chose these quotes because when i first heard them I fell to love them all. The one's from musicians are lyrics from my favorite songs. i heard of Thoreau in American Literature class and since he was the only guy I remembered to like from last year I looked up some of his quotes on the Internet and i liked this particular one out of all the rest of them.
