Lil Wayne went to jail today. Don't worry he shot something like 11 music videos before he left so I am sure we will be seeing a lot of him still. The XXL FreshMAn mixtape was released today http://2dopeboyz.okayplayer.com/2010/03/08/xxl-–-10-freshman-for-’10-mixtape/. Check it out it's a solid compilation. T.I also relased his first song since getting back from prison, it's called I'm Back appropriately, it's ok. Girltalk is coming to BC this weekend and the show sold out in 4 hours while I was in my three classes, thanks people who stood in line at 7am and probably don't know who Girltalk is.
As I read about the woMAn pictured above, MAry Josephine Ray classic name, the oldest person in the US. Today she died in New Hampshire at the age of 114. She lived in MAine, and MAssachusetts and her daughter told Yahoo News that she lived a great life and enjoyed it thoroughly. MAry got me thinking about my age and huMAn life in general. I can't even iMAgine living 94 more years. Part of me wants to enjoy a life that long but I don't know if I'd like the nursing home life. It's alarming how the MAjority of Americans ship there parents and elders to glorified coffins instead of caring for the people who cared for them. That might be what scares me the most, living amongst a group of old farts like me until the day I wither away. This MAy be a morbid post but let's be honest one day I will end up just like MAry, it sucks. In the spirit of LIFE and HOPE I would rather talk about my upcoming 21st birthday!
20 days left. Crazy. The before 21 chapter of my life will be over. Officially an adult according to society. Now I am MAture and Grown Up. What have I done? Not much but I am excited to see what the after 21 chapter has to offer. I know there will be more alcohol, a job or two, a change in wardrobe, a crappy apartment or two, but otherwise I haven't the foggiest. Honestly I haven't felt this curious about life, and the future since I was much younger. People talk about this birthday as if it the most important and yes it is a monument in life but, will this birthday change me? I hope not. I like me. I don't believe I am going to be a completely different guy, MAybe I will socialize in a few new places but otherwise I still plan on wearing sweatpants to class and shaving at a confusingly lazy rate. I don't want this big number to change who I am but I want it to signify a new batch of experiences and opportunities. I want to congratulate MAry on MAking it to 114 it's an aMAzing achievement. I would also like to congratulate my Dad for having the honor of "hosting"/financing a kick-ass 21 dinner celebration. Not sure exactly where and when, hopefully April 2nd in the Bean, but it will be happening so be on the look out.
