Community service

For my community service, since I procrastinated till the very end, was working at my local library. A few years back I was part of this program with the library that allowed people my age to help patrons of the library with any computer problems they might have. So I went to the library by my house and asked if I could help them out for a few hours. So I go and sit down at the main computer, sign in, and make sure no one had any problems with their computer and that everyone did not exceed the thirty minute time limit that everyone gets. It was quite a slow day so nothing really big happened. Although one guy did have a little trouble with the printer. But it wasn’t a big problem and was easily solved. Anyway after 2-3 hours (not quite sure how long, it honestly felt like 5) I realized I wasn’t needed and went home. I know its a very heart warming story but you know that’s how I roll. Ight peace bitches

3rd blog

My bad its late i was going to do it last night but I spend the whole night watching a Herman Cain BLR soundbite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uE5xZKszXMQ which is one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen. But anyway I’ve got somethings to cover before I start babbling on about random shit. Ight so the first question how has my experience at baruch lived up to my expectations blabbity blabbity blah blah blah? Well first off I knew exactly what to expect coming into baruch because this isn’t the first time I’ve been in college. I should be a transfer student but I didn’t know if my previous college grades would get me into a decent cuny and when I tried applying as a transfer I only had four choices instead of 6 and even if I had good enough grades to get into any of the 4 I didn’t have a choice the cuny system would choose for me, which is some bullshit. Right about now is the time when I would be saying pardon my language but fuck that you’re all old enough to know how to spell a curse and even if some kid did read this who’s to say he doesn’t already curse. I have a cousin in 3rd grade and he’s been cursing for at least a year which is some shit. But what are you going to do we live in an age when the best way to describe something so that everyone will understand is to curse. But I digress, one question done three to go. I messed up my first semester here. I didn’t get the textbook I needed right away so right off the bat I was behind and I didn’t start taking the one class I had seriously until I failed a test. So that’s awesome. Boom 2 questions done. The third can easily be assumed but I need to take up space anyway. So if I could do it again I would get the book and study my ass off from the beginning so I wouldn’t have to pay a tutor to help me out. But in my defense my teacher is some sort of Eastern European and I am shit with accents. I just can’t understand them. Plus I fall asleep in class. Ight 3 done one to go. How have I changed well I smoke marijuana much less often since I’ve started going here which is perfect because that is really what I wanted to do. Now not only can I focus more but I get like twice as high when I do smoke which is a win-win. Alright now that I answered all the questions, filled up as much space as I need, I can start babbling and ranting about shit. I was originally going to do a video blog it was going to be me talking over me playing the game Castle Crashers which is made by the people who made Alien Hominid which if anyone went on new grounds awhile back would agree that it is one of the best flash games ever created. Alright I’m over 500 words so I’m going to stop but before I do I would like anyone who reads this to please go to http://americancensorship.org/ and please join the cause because if this bill gets pass we will lose many freedoms we hold dear and we won’t be able to download anything off the internet and idk about you but I can’t afford all the music I like to listen to. Ight peace bitches

Workshop 3

Okay this is my blog about the workshop I did. Its going to be short so don’t expect a lot.

For my third workshop I went to one about doing cover letters. If you don’t know cover letters are what you send or give in along with a resume to an employer or possible employer. Cover letters should be one page long and should be brief. What you should talk about in a cover letter is a job or something you did that would most likely prepare you for the job you are applying to. The whole point of the cover letter is to try and get an interview so you can actually have a chance at getting a job. In the workshop they gave us a booklet (I guess) with examples and space to write a cover letter. There is a list of verbs you can use that are powerful. I don’t remember a lot of what was said in the workshop, I’m going to be honest at one point I took a nap. Well I wont say it was an interesting or captivating workshop. I’m sure it will be useful, well at least the handout. That’s about all I can think of to say. I don’t know if you need to know this but it was on Tuesday the 22nd of November.

Sam Rants

Like the man said to the boy “Can I kick it?” I’m not a very angry person but a lot of things piss me off. So I guess I am an angry person but I try not to be angry. One could say I’m calm like a bomb. But I digress from whatever point I was trying to make. The thing at the top of my shit list is politicians. Politicians are some of the worst people ever. They say they represent the people when all they represent is their own agenda. It is their job to keep the country moving forward and to do what is best for the people that elect them and as anyone can see from the way the country is going they aren’t doing their jobs. They say they see the issues but still blind like they’re fluent in Braille. It’s not just republicans or democrats that are making problems, it’s the whole government. I just found out that the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people too. Where in the constitution would it possibly say that? How does that make any sense? Everything is just getting worse. I know that sounds grim and it is. But there are other things that piss me off so I’m going talk about those.

I don’t like the police or the DEA. The police serve a good purpose most of the time as with the DEA to an extent. However a lot of things they do are a waste of time and money, in my opinion. I am a marijuana enthusiast and so most of my complaints stem from there. The United States government spends more than $7 billion a year enforcing marijuana laws. In my opinion that’s $7 billion down the drain because I don’t see the number of marijuana smokers decreasing. Plus we are several trillions of dollars in debt can we really spare this money. Every type of person smokes weed so is it right to turn people into criminals just because they want to indulge in something that relaxes them?  But I guess that’s not the police’s fault, so I’ll throw that under why I hate the government.

Well that was a decent rant about some of the stuff I hate. Now here’s a funky introduction of how nice I am. Tell your mother, tell your father, send a telegram. Actually I’m not sure why I just said that. See there comes a time in every man’s life when he’s got to handle up on his own. Can’t depend on friends to help you in a squeeze, please, they got problems of their own. That part of my life is now.

 

In this monologue, or rant or whatever you want to call it, I’ve taken lines from various music groups, mostly rap. If you can guess that’s awesome.

Stuff I thought

Hey what’s up? The name’s Sam. Hmm who do I think I am? That’s a good question because I honestly don’t know who I am as a person and at the moment I’m not really looking or I don’t really care pick one. My only concern for my freshman year is passing my class. Why I want to do this is just to make life easier. As for the differences between college and high school, I know that the work will be harder and some other stuff. My first year at college probably won’t change me and if it will I don’t really want to think about it because then I will probably try to resist it and I would rather wait and see what happens then guess and miss out on any of the possible futures that are possible. Well that’s all the questions they gave but I guess this blog could be considered lacking so here’s some random stuff that’s interesting. Well I had something interesting to say but I forgot it so here’s a rabbit that chases your cursor http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1N3AI9/andrius.esu.lt/10/go2.htm

Hmm turns out I need more stuff to write about. Well it is a blog so I guess the important thing to do is to say what I think about things. First off let’s talk about the free writes in class. If it’s a free write why are they giving us something to write about, if it’s a free write then I should write about what I want to write about. So that’s what I did. Looks like I still have a lot of space to take up. The United States is going to hell in a handbag between the democrats being to cowardly to stand up to the republicans and do something to fix this country and the republicans doing everything they possibly can to screw up this country just so that Obama doesn’t get reelected. I have found that we as a country are screwed so I guess as soon as possible I’m getting the hell out of here.  But in the meantime here’s an awesome song by The Pharcyde http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgXkwiM0hIQ&feature=relmfu

Thanks for reading this and If not then who cares.

Bye
