names October 13th "diddy day" for his donations to such causes as HIV/AIDS and Breast Cancer. Now all thats good but, pump the brakes. It took a dude from another city to get publicity when artist in the chi are also trying to make a way in the city. I felt that as a smack. Puffy (that’s what he started with that's what I’ll keep calling 'im) is a damn good business man despite his lackluster music. I'm not hating, good for him. Yet I feel that isn’t gonna slide when other Chicago artist have been doing their thing for a while now. The radio was having a debate on which Chicago artist deserves to have a day named after them. What it came down to is a face off between South side's Common and West Side's Twista. Both sides represent yet give no reason why the other shouldn’t. I guess they didn’t know about Common's Common Ground Foundation since 2004, which donates to HIV/AIDS as well as delivering computers to low income housing. Plus I feel his image of a street intellectual would come across the more thru the city. I don’t know of any associations that Twista might be in and if he is I commend him all the more. But that who I felt should land it. Next time a key to the city, city cufflinks or even a day is rewarded to a celebrity. Make sure it's a native of the city is all i'm saying.]]> tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.706 2006-10-12T22:55:45Z 2006-10-12T23:41:03Z

Back in 1987 a movie was deemed so violent and bloody it was deemed a rating X by the motion picture association of America. The director and script writer wanted his vision portrayed to as many people as he could....

Robocop. The Directors cut, now out of print is now available on DVD thru eBay. I’ve heard that the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a ride of extreme Gore and Mind screwing. That peaked my interest. Especially when I was told dudes actually gets hacked in full view by leatherface. Im looking forward to the New Master of Horror Series (the banned episode is still avaliable on bootleg) and Saw III, cuz nobody can do inner & outer torment like Jigsaw! I bring these instances up because after seeing the Scream Awards on Spike TV With awards for best mutilation which the movie Hostel’s “Eye removal” won. My brother made up a good point. I failed to notice how the standards for the ratings have changed. What would’ve been rated R is now PG-13 and so on. I remember the days when simple blood splatter on the wall was sufficient enough to show that the victim got murked. I remember back in the day the most extreme flick to see was Faces of Death. I avoided it because of the realistic nature. I didn’t want to see real death and still wont to this day (im not that bloodthirsty contrary to what some believe). Even my Ex saw it and told me about it. It was like the original Jackass, the talk of one of the must see flicks during High School years. The Now the cutting, slicing and peeling of the flesh must be shown in order to get a true rise out of anyone. I am more prepared for the gore due to my viewing of imported films which they have no qualms about showing vile horrid graphic details of death. The worst I have yet to see so far has been the Suicide club. As fake as the film was; the beginning almost made me turn it off. But I digress. I know I haven’t been the only one to notice this. What I’m getting at is where my curiosity comes in. Too much sex and its rated NC-17 a rating nobody wants because it won’t generate cash. Yet nowadays a Man can have his left ass cheek chopped off while cannibals run to it as their dinner and it’ll still Rated R. Who decides to change the standards? How much violence do we need to become numb to before world takes notice. hmmmmmn...]]> tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.704 2006-10-08T20:37:10Z 2006-10-08T23:19:23Z

days) I decided I'm gonna switch to WP and remove MT. I'm tired of the spam and the skins kicks Mt's ass. I'm gonna first retreive all my dotcomments archives from blogger and upload them before then. I should have this all done by the end of next month. Inspired by another blog, I made a list of the goals I want to accomplish in no particular order: 1. Get a new wardrobe 2. move out the hood 3. get a powerbook 4. get in shape 5. see a dermatologist 6. see a gastrologist 7. get new glasses 8. get my A+ certification 9. get my mackin’ on 10. get a girlfriend. 11. get that surgery 12. take Dj lessons 13. get a cell phone 14. make personal/business cards 15. start writing a script 16. start a interest savings account 17. Achieve 1k-5k a month from Adsense 18. sell all the goods I don’t use anymore 19. become more polite to strangers 20. try to smile more 21. clear all my immediate (small) debts 22. eat more fruit & veggies 23. Eat less chocolate and candy 24. See a concert 25. take a picture of myself before and after 26. buy a HDTV or Converter 27. remove my hair’s split ends 28. sell DVD’s wholesale 29. Finish school 30. see an optometrist I know there's more but I cant think of any at the moment. Thats alot there. Maybe I should separate them by what I can do in a month and what I can do long term. i'll cross them off in new posts as their completed.]]> tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.703 2006-10-06T00:10:01Z 2006-10-06T00:14:25Z

Sittin, chillin at the comp lab. This one cat that comes around all geekish about how he’s found new programs to download music on school property that I already knew. Anyway, this dude loves to talk, like my brother. The problem is that he doesn’t know when to shut up yet. That’s where the game comes in. I used to hate it, thought I didn’t need it. Now I respect it. He’s sittin with a very cute female who’s somewhat into him while he’s doing his work. The body language is evident. She leans towards him and touches him now and then, plus her legs are crossed toward his direction and there both in front of a computer and she’s not really using it. In my mind, I’m yelling at the dude GET HER NUMBER! EXCHANGE DIGITS! STOP TALKIN! SHUT UP! YOU’RE IN THERE! WHUT THE FUGG ARE YA DOIN?! Man, if he keeps talking he’s eventually going to end up in the friend zone. Aw well. What the game should teach ya right here: 1. Keep convo short and simple 2. Body language is key to attraction 3. Once the prize is sure enough, execute. tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.702 2006-10-04T02:20:01Z 2006-10-04T02:35:45Z

Hobo! Hobo!" I looked at them Eric Cartman looking bastards with a evil eye and contunued my strut. One did say In english as I walked away. "He's no hobo, he's dressed for business."

I sit down on my bed to watch some tv/ (machine gun fire) do my ears decieve me/ Nope, thats the fourth time this week/ another fast brother shot dead in the street... Today, I was enjoying my TiVoed episode of Studio 60 (tight series so far by the way) when I heard 5 loud bangs outside my door. I know it’s a weekday so the kids (who didn’t drop out) were at school. It was then I knew what I heard wasn’t firecrackers. What assured me was a voice yelling “I’m calling a ambulance!” Yeah the dumb ass drop out drug dealers made the block hot again by putting some hot ones in somebody. The ambulance came within about 10 minutes afterward (I was impressed) and the police shut the whole block down for over 5 hours checking anyone who even put one foot on the corners. Once 5-0 left I headed to work. Once I came back the giant camera/bright lamp post had been added to the block. This initially declares a block they will have their eye on for up to 7 days at the most. The fools will lay low till they remove the post and continue their hustling. Looks like I got my own personal version of the wire at home. Just another reason I need a job to get up outta here. ]]> tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.700 2006-09-24T03:15:26Z 2006-09-24T03:27:19Z

When I first moved into this hellhole of a hood I didn’t know that fuggin SBC would give me a number that belonged to a closed down Wendy’s five miles away! Man, you’d think after the first couple of times they’d stop calling. I let them know it’s a residence phone but the ignorant continue to push on, pissing me off. Me: Hello? Dumbass: Can I speak to ya manaja? Me: This is a residence phone, dude. Dumbass: Can I speak to ya manaja? Me: This ain’t Wendy’s phone no more. Dumbass: Can I speak to ya manaja? Me: You’re an Idiot. **Click** Maybe the dude was retarded, I don’t know. For a while the phone was safe and we didn’t have calls in months till recently. Me: Hello Blowed: Yeah, how much is it for 16 piece nuggets? Me: Wrong number man Blowed: FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUU! Me: Call KFC & layoff the chronic, stupidass! **click** Keep in mind this was 2 different people. I told my bro he cracked up. He told me Wendy’s never had 16 piece nuggets in the first place. I figured dude had the munchies. Maybe I should start using a residence greeting from now on. The damn phone company is to blame. I learned that when I went to the local pizza hut. Once I put my number in they instantly called out “Wendy’s?” No. ]]> tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.699 2006-09-20T04:54:57Z 2006-09-20T05:09:30Z

It's beginning to look alot more like NY... The transformation is complete. Marshall Fields has now been talken over by Macy's. On Wabash the plaque is all that stands of one of the chi's most prominent stores. Now Being real, I havent shopped there since I was a teen. Most of my memories have been with my mother and how she would cuss out the workers there for asking her rude questions embarrassing me. Growing up in the Chi, it was something that helped me know once I got back from wherever I was traveling from the sign was a beacon to let me know i'm home. It'll be something to get used to. ]]> tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.698 2006-09-17T03:28:45Z 2006-09-17T04:02:22Z

Man, why do I have so much bad luck? I stopped praying, I just give thanks for what I have and keep it moving. Why do so many dudes have better luck at e-mackin than me? I'm tired of seeing all my "friends" on myspace with women comments and all I got on mine are rappers promotin their shit. Am I that introverted, hermit & anti-social? I need to improve my social skills. The job interview went well (I think), now I have to see if i get a 2nd interview. The damn school kicked me out of registration AGAIN! This time because my financial aid wasnt fast enough. I cant afford NOT to go to school. My moms claiming my workin at the lab isnt worth going to if i cant barely afford to pay for anything. I told her alittle is better for nothing. I appreciate everything she's doing for me. I'd be homeless without her. She repaired my car for the umpteenth time. Im paying her back by doing her lawn. I feel i'm riding so dirty im shared shitless to drive my car. soon as i'm pulled over im arrested. The dollar store will become very aquainted with me. I gotta stretch out 60 bucks for 2 weeks. Why is it that dudes give me attitude when I ask for their monthly fee to keep their site hosted with me? Sheeeit, all ya'll making more than me combined, and they think they're struggling? Man, im getting tired of constantly deleting spam off this here blog. I think i'll switch to Wordpress... tag:www.abitterview.net,2006:/blog//1.697 2006-09-13T05:56:13Z 2006-09-13T06:05:56Z

Tolls, Gas and Repair) I knew I couldnt afford to go that far for work. A beggar can be choosy. I'm gonna turn in my papers to teach. I did get two calls for interviews. One was another damn temp agency. I did get a interview thursday with a job I dont remember applying to. My moms let my uncle know who is apart of CPS to see if he can hook me up with a gig. He told her I didnt like working with kids. Not entierly true, I fretted the staff more. On one condition: I can't let anyone know we're related.

The school finally lifted my status and let me register this semester. I was already planning to do otherwise by calling the plant firm and letting them know I can start Tuesday morning. It was then at 4:37 PM that the registrar office let me know that, I was able register with no withholdings. Today was the last day of book vouchers that ended at 4:45. If I register, I will be without books for at least a week. I was ready to sit this semester out and wait until January. It was then that my spiritual advisor told me that I agreed upon. I have already skipped 2 semesters already. More sitting out will delay my time to finish school until ’09 at the most. I realize I gotta do this. The real problem lies with if I take this job travel will be a mutha. I will be traveling about 80 – 100 miles a day from work to school. I’m not sure if my ride is up to it. Public transportation will cost me more time. I’m measuring the situation and my only advantages to this gig is: • I will get paid weekly • Its only one month • Its immediate money and im in need. The struggle is on, I realize it aint gonna be easy. I’ll need the strength to do all three. Your mind will tell you can but the body will let you know you can’t. No other place is calling, I dont want to go back to teach. I will have to make this work, got bills & tickets to pay off.
