So It's 2013... : Ten Things We Need To Dead
The year is 2013. We are in the 10th month of the year, which means that the year is winding down. Now within the next two months all my social media timeline is going to be full of people posting New Years Resolutions that will last about as long as Gucci Mane's time out of prison. "I'm going to lose 25 pounds by the end of the year" "I'm going to stop smoking so I can get a job", "I'm going to try and be more expressive and get in touch with my artistic side" and my favorite "I'm going to drink less"...These are just some of the examples of the bullshit that we will see in the coming months. I know you're probably thinking, this guy is an asshole, regardless of what he says I'm going to be thick in 2014. Yeah...I'm sure you'll get all the way through January and then give up that dream when you realize the truth. What I am doing is being realistic here. Who decided that on the first day of the Lunar calendar we are supposed to re-vamp our lives around and change what was wrong? No, that should be happening every day. But anyways as our year comes to a close I must make a list of shit that has got to stop when 2013 ends. And if any of these offend you, kick rocks off my blog.
1. The Juice Battles.
How many times are we going to witness this conversation?"Bruh I heard you got all the juice..."
"Nah bruh that's a lie, I'm juiceless over here. I actually heard you were the juice demi-god, something like a HercuJuice"
"Nah bruh that's not me man."
Stop this. Only 3-5 years ago when "swag" was the synonym for "juice" everybody prided themselves on having swag, nowadays it's almost a felony to have any. I remember in high-school, being a part of a group called NwS (N*ggas with Swag), just priding ourselves on our people skills. I'm not going to deny that I have some sort of juice, but you people won't let me say that without having some sly remarks. The minute someone claims they have the juice, we brand them cocky or full of it. No no no, these people just have enough confidence to agree with you instead of denying the truth. If you have a hard time understanding this concept then take Kanye West as the perfect example, he claims he's an artist/genius/God and we automatically brand him egocentric and a heretic. No he's just voicing his opinions about himself, don't destroy him because you don't know where you stand. If you got the juice then you got it. If your Holy Grail is overflowing with Honey Boo-Boo Chile's special juice then let it help you win. Now there is a disclaimer to this, fellas and ladies please realize that there is a fine line between juice and thirst. I eluded to this on a previous post, but I'm reiterating it for you newbies. I could write a whole PhD dissertation on the difference between thirst and juice but honestly it all boils down to how you carry yourself. So next time someone comes at you and says "hey man I heard you got the juice" or "shoutout to the juice goddess" then accept and take your title with pride. In my honest opinion I'd much rather have juice than be dry like your hands in the winter morning. Not having the juice is like having the Old Rod on Pokemon, all you're going to score are level 5 Magikarps.
2. R.U.M.O.R.S
Somewhere along the evolutionary track someone incorporated a gene into our DNA. It was encoded by mRNA and processed by the splicosome and sent to the ribosomes to be translated into an amino acid via a three base codon sequence. This amino acid combined with others and now we have a protein known as sensitivity in our genetic code (Trying to help you freshman with BIO 101. Went to class 7 times and got a B+). Our generation sheds more tears over the smallest shit, "rumors around campus", "being politically correct" and others. Get out of here with that, being politically correct only became cool about 10 years ago. But what I'm targeting is how we are constantly causing drama over unnecessary information, i.e. rumors. Childish Gambino used the line in one of his songs "it only takes a lie to make a dynasty crumble" and we are no different. We spend our college career building up these fantastic and stalwart reputations and the minute a sleeper cell known as a rumor is placed into our formation we go berserk. It's been established that rumors are always going to fly around so long as we have tongues and jealousy exists. But it's up to us to determine how we are going to handle this info. Are we going to freak out and let it consume our daily being? Or will you be mature and realize that the rumor lasts only as long as we carry it on our shoulders. In the great words of Juaquin Malphurs (Waka Flocka Flame, AKA Every Baby Girl's Youtube Baby Daddy...if it's not Future) "Spreadin rumors round town like I fell down, They cant hold me down they cant stop my shine, They cant block my grind shawty its game time". It's up to the rumoree...(just made that up) to sift through the lies and find the truth, however sometimes uncovering the truth from lies does not alway bring happiness so treat lightly.

3. GTAV Slander
This one's mostly for the non-gamer girls, don't come at GTAV or you'll end up being a single at fifty.
4. Thinking You Are "Special"
I recently read an article that basically destroyed everything our generation grew up on. But it was so true; it described how we go about our lives thinking we are so special or "the one to save the world" "the one to cure cancer" "the one to put an end to the mainstream and radio music". But we're not that person, only one in 100,000,000 or something like that will actually change some aspect about the world. That's not to say we can impact the lives of those around us now. We just need to lower our scales a tad and be proud of the place we currently stand.The Article can be found here --> Why Generation Y Yuppies Are Unhappy
5. The phrase "Turn Up" and all its variations.

| Turn-ahhhh |
6. RT'ing Fake Celebrity Pages/Constantly Tweeting Celebrities
 |
Every time I see this I secretly do this. Out of anger.
|
You really expect me to believe that Meek Mill would say something like "Real friends are those who tell you when you're wrong?" He can't even tweet in lowercase letters. MEEK MILL HAS PERMANENT CAPS LOCK. Don't be fooled by these generic teenybopper love and life quotes. And don't be a groupie on social media.
7. Daily Horoscopes.
8. PicStitching The Same Photo Twice.
Yo. Yall gotta definitely cut this one out. Like I look at your instagram and I see the exact same picture twice right next to each other? Da fuck? You look so good you gotta put yourself twice? Or am I supposed to play "What's wrong with this picture" and point out the difference between the two? This applies to both sexes, but like please I really want to know WHY? Why would you do this?
9. Responding To The Listerv
I'm pretty sure every college student can relate to this. Hey it's excused if it's your first time working with one, but after awhile you have to learn email etiquette. It get's real annoying when someone is blasting the campus email at all hours during the night. Everybody is sitting at their computer like...10. "I Don't Have Time"
Now this is the last thing that I will mention in this post. I'm an artsy fellow so I enjoy the things such as reading, writing, expressing myself through words and such like that. One thing that irritates me is whenever I am reading a book and come around someone and they always say "how do you find time to read? I really enjoy reading but I feel like I have no time. I wish I could do what you do." Newsflash folks, it's not that hard. Everybody thinks that there is no time in the day for anything, but in reality there is so much time we just find ample ways to waste it. For a college student time management may be the hardest challenge but once you find your flow then go with it. I'm actually about to be real here for a second so bear with it, no hilarious metaphors or jokes. You need to get a serious grasp of time, it's an ever fleeting concept that is gone when the moment passes. There's twenty four hours in a day, 5-8 of them we are sleep which leaves a great deal left. Cut out classes and studying, we have about 4-6 hours left give or take. Now what you do with those 4-6 hours is strictly up to you but don't complain you feel like you don't have any time when you nap for a few of them and then join the fake study gang. Time is always on your side so long as you know how to properly use it. Being inefficient is my pet peeve. I recommend taking one hour out of your day to do something that you love to do, or want to do. Whether that is watch TV, read a book, shoot pedestrians on GTAV, dive in the the DM's like Michael Phelps then by all means do you. Whatever keeps you sane, keep it close. When you don't do this you start teetering with the brink of insanity. |
| American Psycho- Great novel/movie starring Batman |
So after that rant I'm feeling like Trevor after a rampage mission for my GTAV fans. Too much of these ten things are going on in our daily lives and at some point needs to be stopped. We are physically growing every day, it's only right that our lives and actions follow suit. So although this may be my personal top 10 list, I challenge all my readers to make a top 10 list of things that they think need to stop and compare them with your friends. Maybe you're tired of all the pointless memes floating on the Internet, or sick of the "light skins be like" or "dark skins be like" wars? Could it be you're over the cuffing season, people only tweeting song lyrics? Also I must take a moment to thank each and every one of you who read my posts. Your love and support for my blog, is part of the motivation to keep me writing. So I thank all of you.
