I would rather be an average joe because that is basically what i am now. I would rather live life and experience different things than live a short life. I'm not really the type of person thats big onbeing known in fact i hate being the center of attention and having to lead thin gs. althouh that is a really big paradox because in most areas of my life I kind of have this way of taking charge and drawing attention to myself. I ahven't quite figured out yet if I do this purposely or it jus happens that way but I don't think i try to......
Anyway i really don't think that I could even do anything to be remebered that long. Most people that are remembered that long are usually people who fight for a really important cause or do something really historical. I'm not into anything yet that much to where I would die for it much less even fight unless we wwere like back in slavery or something drastic like that happened.

When I was little my favorite movie was Sister Act 2.I loved the singing in the movie,I remember how would always try to get my sister to sing along with me while we watched.One of my favorite parts was when the choir had their first performance in front of the school and the boy who was supposed to lead the choir started singing after getting over his nervousness.Another one of my favorite parts was when the nuns were trying to raise money by having a concert and Whoopi Golberg was singing "get up offa dat thang and dance till you feel better." To this day I still talk about the movie and watch it with friends we joke around about funny scenes in the movie and do movie quotes.

The philosophy says that when summing life up in just a few words or sentences the world and or life is not that great but it is when you think about the world and or life in depth and look back on times when it was good that is where the perfection comes in. So basically what makes the world perfect is solely thinking about the good times. There is nothing to really compare this to in the weren world because average westerners are way less spiritual and all philosophy-like like easterners are.

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.

"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.
