Awesome Day, Awesomer Day Tomorrow.
Hello World,
Today was hella-crazy. This program I'm in called Social Justice went down to Trenton for the Hip-Hop Summit. They got a whole bunch of high school kids to promote voting awareness...or something. MAD rappers were there. Some names I remember...
Freeway (He's good, I like him)
Jim Jones
Ja-Ja from Dipset
Jaheim
The Game and Russell Simmons...
It was funny when those last two came in, because we were going through this Spoken Word competition, and one of the two white people in the competition were speaking, and right in the middle of his poem, Game and Simmons came. It was so loud. It was fun though, cuz I'm not surrounded by rap that much anymore. I grew up in East Orange, where that was, and is still, the universal way of communication. Montclair isn't really steady...we have a lot of different styles.
Yea, so tomorrow's my birthday. I might go catch a movie with some friends. My dad's really fucked up though...cuz he came up to me yesterday and asked what I was doing for my birthday...
Me: Well, I'm not doing anything here, so I might go catch a movie with some friends.
Dad: Hhmm....well....I was gonna show you the office and the new company car (he just got a new job). Maybe you could help me clean it, and do it well like you always do...I'll probably pay you
Me: (Just blankly stare at him, like he couldn't be fuckin' serious.)
Dad: Wow, son.(sounds upset, mad) Oppurtunites like this don't come by a lot...(basically saying I'm selfish for not working on MY BIRTHDAY)
Yea. My dad's a reaaaaal prick. But whatever, he won't fuck up my birthday. No one will....
Shower/Sleep/Meeting Tonight. Peace.
(Later)
