On the WISH LIST!!

I've been wanting to get a new laptop...


Been seeing some stuff out there thats pretty cool. At this point, i just really surf the web...random downloading..things like that.


Also, im not a fan of Vista, so i been tryin to find a laptop that didnt come with it...which seems to damn
near on every laptop with the exception of Macs..and not a fan of them either.

So i came across the Acer Aspire One.

Its small....and i like it!!



This pic here shows the size in relation to a hand so you can see how small it is. I like it because of the moblility you have with it. I can toss it in my bookbag and be on my way.

The one i want had 1gb ram, 160gb hard drive and a 6 cell battery....which all of them stats are found in alot of regular size laptops. Being the size it is, it doesnt have a cd drive....but so!!! i have a mp3 player, so i just plug it in to download stuff.

And its faily affordable. For the one i want, its $399.00.


I think that will be my X-Mas to myself....hehehe!

Its All About The Benjamins....

So i was skipping through the world wide web, and stumbled across this video. What had started talking about the NFL and its fines , turned into what I've always felt, which is that professional sports exploiting the players and such. They could give a rats about the players, long as the league makes there money. 


Here's is a vid of a former player, stickin up for the players...right on homey!!










btw...its my 50th post!

Thursday thirteen : 13 Teachers That I Remember






1.Mrs Liss, Kindergarten- She was the nicest teacher i think i ever had. I think that's when i found out that i didn't like raisins ..We ate them all too much for snacks.


2.Mrs. Gay, 8th grade Fine Arts- Outside looking in...she looked like the sweetest teacher, but boy did she have a temper, especially if you didn't sing a song right, lol . But as bad as we were, when we had to sing Stevie Wonder's "ribbon in the Sky", everybody was on one accord for that .


3.Mr. K, Elementary  music- For the life of me, cant remember his actual last name..But it was hard to pronounce it, he just went with Mr. K. I played the clarinet. It was cool, just wished i had kept with it. I played the Tuba in high school...but that was one of the things i shouldn't of done, lol.


4.Mr. Phillips, Middle school, Computer tech - When you think of the geeky computer teacher, that's him. Kinda reminds me of a refined Bill Gates. Most i remember out of that class was playing "Where in the world is Carman Sandeigo " .


5.Mrs.Joswick, 2nd grade- 2 things i really remember about her....1.Newport cigarettes and 2.Coffee. She was super mean...to everyone but me, go figure, lol


6.Mr.Lowe, High School sub- Now , this dude was interesting. Think of ..Rev. Brown from Coming to America..just more drug addicting looking....thats him!! He caught the bus to school...so students used to clown him for that ( Detroit is a drivers town...if it was NY, different story) . They say he used to play professional football...but i cant confirm that .


7.Mrs.Williams , Honors English, 11th grade- In thinking about her, she actually reminds me of our First lady Michelle Obama. I didnt like the class because i was in it with a bunch up folks that thought they were extra smart cuz it was advanced English.


8.Mr.Whitt, Elementary Sub- He was one of the first cool Black teachers i had. Very cool since we almost had the same last name..as rare as mines is(when your a kid..its the simple things that works for us, lol.) But did have this one setback....we he got super talkative, he had that white build-up in the corners of his mouth...yuck!!


9.Mr.Elcowitz , Economics , 12th grade- Lil short guy..nothing too major i remember about him , but i aced that class!!


10.Mr.Garbinski, Elementary Art- Was one of the classes i enjoyed going to. Funny, i think he JUST retired within the last 3 years or so ago.


11.Mrs.Hogg, 12th grade English- Maybe it was her name...but she did kinda have a pig-like nose. She was just weird. She always were a ...guess you could call it a fishing vest. Pockets everywhere. Whatever you needed, she had...from postage stamps, bus tickets...ect. Very strange .


12.Ms.Hyman, Gym/fitness, Middle school- If Rambo was a woman....and Black....thats what Ms. Hyman is. She actually was a cool teacher, but most folks couldnt get past the fact that she didnt smile often...or the fact that she could scale a rope to the tip of the gym ceiling faster than any guy or girl.



13.Miss Ballard, High School sub- Talk about a fine woman..Miss Ballard, Miss Ballard, Miss Ballard..(waddup 12Kyle!!). One day in particular, she was doing the attendance call. She got to my name, she paused. " Hey Otis, did you have a cousin came Corey?" My last name isnt too common, so it was a older cousin she had dated at one time....The bloodline got good taste!!!
