I guess I kinda mailed in these entries the past week, but, it was a holiday so its ok, lol
Time now for another Bolivion history Lesson. This one is called Burning Down the House.

And I am bored.
But, reaading Shakespeare.
Timon of Athens, to be exact. I just finished Macbeth not too long ago.
If I survive Timon, I will probably read King Lear next.
Here's another 5 for ya mind:
1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
Shopping is okay, except for the fact that everyone likes baggy clothing, so all my sizes are usually sold out. STOP SAGGING!
2. What was the last thing you purchased?
Two Roc-A-Wear T-Shirts from Marshall's (hey, they were cheap and like the best looking ones they had)
3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?
Either way is cool with me.
4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?
I got like $3 a day in 7th-8th grade, then it went up to 5, then 10, then 'nigga get a job'.
5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?
Um, the cheap ass pot that burned on my stove... stop laughing.
In Other News...
I kinda tweaked the links and added a couple... lol, this effect may not show up everywhere tho...
That's about it. I need a playstation 2, anyone wanna donate to the cause?
Happy Thanksgiving Day to those who celebrate it.
And now, another excerpt from the Year that Was in Bolivion history, this entry was called Las Man Standing.
Now... I must go eat and watch football...
For one shining moment, pretend today is November 25, 2003 again, lol.
Slightly a year has passed since Bolivion has opened its doors, and even though the months are linked on the side, I know that some are just entirely too lazy to click them to get a history lesson in the humble beginnings of our great blog (lol).
So to that end, we have This Day in Bolivion History! It will run thru the rest of November (there were only like, 3 entries, so it won't take that long...)
This is the first one, which was called Men & Women.

Someone is gonna be in trouble. It says here that Mike and his Lawyer were videotaped secretly on the plane.

Welp, I may have actually made a friend today.
In California.
The place that I hate.
It may make life here a lil more bearable whilst I get this degree. But we'll see...

You have people like Isaiah Thomas, Mike Fratello and Doc Rivers available to coach the Chicago Bulls, and your choice is Scott Skiles? Come on Pax, you can do better than that...
Ok, let me stop stalling and do this paper...
You know, it may be just marketing actually succeeding on my ass, but I think I may cop those black S.Carters with the red n green laces.

A man twice my age came up to me at Panda Express...
Old Man: you look like someone I used to play ball with. Where you from?
Me: Chicago
Old Man: what-chu know bout Chicago?
Me: South Side, born n raised...
He goes into where he used to live in Chi (south shore, hyde park) and validates something that I been sayin about L.A. for the longest...
Blacks are more organized in Chicago than they will EVER be out here.
It felt good to know that it was not just me who noticed that, lol...
I am at the library today when I book a computer to use to print out the outline for my latest term paper when I find this lil jerry krause look alike trying to log in.
Me: Excuse me, I have this slot for this time.
Jerry: no you don't!
Me: well, its not taking your log-in...
Jerry: I don't care! I have been sitting here waiting for this computer.
So, I put my log in on and it works, but Jerry decides to log me out, there fore, I lose my hour of time...
It took a lot in me not to punch this old man in the throat, but I stayed calm, and the computer next to him opened and I took it, while someone else booked time on the previous computer.
Now, Jerry can't find a computer to use.
Sweet.

The Jacksons are gonna be on TV tonight to defend Michael, anyone know where or when?
I really think someone should fuck Benzino up, for real. I also think Eminem should have a better handle on his older stuff. That shit could get his hip hop pass revoked.
Bulls-Lakers tonight...
I am hongry again, but I am not hearing White Castles (LOL @ Raven)
Oh yeah, Ass Bra pics, lol
Boy oh Boy...
I don't know how to call this one. I mean, Mike is a Bolivion citizen, he shoulda came and sought asylum here with us!
Hopefully this mess will blow over and he will get through it, but if I were him i would officially say fuck that, and not do shit else but sit on my llama, which would sit on a pile of money.
Only problem is, they say he is bankrupt too... any truth to that?
I'm glad he went back to Vegas, tho. Fuck stayin in Santa Barbara County...
And... they saying he gave this lil boy sleeping pills and wine... here...
AND... they saying this single is raising money for scientology...

Welp, Jacko is back in the news.

Sometimes, I think people mess with Mike J just because he is an easy target, and that kinda sucks for someone who has used his talent to bring so much joy to the world.

Oh, and the buses started back running today...
Welp...
I am back from my trip to Boston and New York.
Boston is boring.
Well, I did get to see MIT (thank-ya Martha for being such a gracious host) and Harvard, where they pee on statues and what-not. These are the future leaders of America, lol.
I went to New York and stayed at the Millenium Hilton Hotel, overlooking Ground Zero. That was so ominous its not even funny. 2 big ass holes. That's what it looked like. It was also pretty sad, as there were people outside the fence showing pics of what happened, saying, you don't have to buy, just look.
Saturday I ran around Times Square for a few hours before heading back to Bawston on the Chinatown bus. $10 bucks was not bad, and the trip was cool.
Sorry to all them people (well, 2) that I was gonna hang out with in the NYC. Y'a'll pay phones are garbage and Sprint decided they had enough of me using their service for free for all of 2 days and cut me off. I am just now picking up messages from thursday, lol.
I would have been in yesterday, but my flight got cancelled. Some valve or another that controlled pressurization and air conditioning went out, and no one had a replacement, so they kicked us off the plane, which was just as well cause that mufucka got hot, and there is nothing worse than hot white people... anyways, since they had to switch to a smaller plane to get people home, they needed volunteers to book a different flight. As incentive, those who did volunteer to get bumped got a free hotel for the night, free food and a $600 voucher for future travel, in addition to the flight home...
Guess who grabbed their boarding pass and was like, MEEEEEEE!
I was the last one in line too, but it was cool. There were more than enough seats left. I spent the night at the Comfort Inn in Revere, Mass. and ate at their lil I-talian restaurant, then got up and had some free breakfast.
In Other News...
I come back to HELL-A, and people are still on strike...
I saw the Matrix this weekend too, not a bad ending to the trilogy I guess...
I saw Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde 2 (NOT MY CHOICE). They weren't THAT bad, but they were a little TOO girly for me.
On my way to Boston, the movie was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which was not that great. Or, it could have been way better than it was...
Ashanti still looks a hot mess, sorry...
Remember when I took The (non) Source to task for their so called exposing of 50 Cent? Welp, in this month's issue (with either the Lox or Westside Connection on the cover) they printed letters about that story. 9 applauded The (non) Source, and 1 kinda sorta criticized them. I think its all bullshit. The (non) Source probably got more letters than that, but they didn't have the balls to print them. They are not journalists, they are Cheerleaders. So I still say, fuck them.
Oh, and thanks for all the positive feedback about my script, an update will probably be posted tomorrow.
Just for kicks, here is a script I am working on now for a class, to show you what kinda talent (or, non-talent, lol) I am working with.
Any comments would be 'preciated. But keep in mind I am an artist, and I'm sensitive 'bout my shit, like Erykah n em, lol.
Welp, I went to my interview at Macy's, so we'll see what they decide. If everything goes as planned, I will be in the Polo department, putting together outfits for people and what-not. It should be cool, and I won't start until next week...
I actually wore slacks, a shirt and tie for this, and I NEVER wear that kind of shit (not that I dress thugged out or nothin...) But, it will be standard if I work there.
In Other News...
I will be on my way to Boston/New York in less than 2 days. This should be a cool trip. I was going to go back and (once again) audition for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, but they are holding them early in the week instead of later. Ah well..
Baylor is a 53 point underdog to Oklahoma this week. That game should be a beating.
My movie script will be raked over the coals by my class tomorrow, so we'll see how good it really is... I got parts for Raven, Boog and Deah, and whoever else wants to be in one of my movies, (I have like 9 different script ideas, so I'm sure I can work out something lol)
some is weird, some is just fucked up. Consider:
A senior Vatican spokesman, Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo, told a BBC Radio audience in October that condoms are useless in preventing the spread of HIV (because the virus seeps through the porous latex) and therefore should not be used, even in AIDS-wracked Africa, where as much as 20 percent of the population is reportedly infected. The World Health Organization denounced Trujillo's claim but said it had heard similar Catholic Church messages in Asia and Latin America. [The Guardian, 10-9-03]
In October, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration's inspector general released questions from the final exam for airport screeners, designed to measure the crucial, intensive training that the screeners had just completed. One question: "How do threats get on board an aircraft?" The supposedly challenging answers: "a. In carry-on bags; b. In checked-in bags; c. In another person's bag; d. All of the above." If that is too difficult, the inspector general also complained that 22 of the exam's 25 questions were repeats from previous exams and that some test-takers were briefed in advance. [New York Times, 10-9-03]

Ok, I'm tired, and glad the Packers lost!

Switzerland is neutral and also protected on 3 sides by the Alps, plus, they are discreet, for lack of a better word...
Roy Jones would get eaten by Mike Tyson...
The Bulls hired Bill Cartwright to replace Tim Floyd, who lost 190 games as a Bulls coach to winning only 49. Cartwright was an assistant who got promoted...
In Boston I'm going to visit a friend of mine. In New York I am going to look for books, so if anyone who reads this who resides in the tri-state area, I need to be pointed in the direction of where I can get some books on West Indian History, I would be mad appreciative...

Just to keep my consecutive streak going, LOL...
...That Swiss banks have 2.5 Trillion dollars in them? thats about 1/4th of the worlds money.
...That most of the weed in the US is now grown in Canada, not Mexico.

...That Bulls coach Bill Cartwright gone get fired soon, since the Bulls lose by an average of like 25 points.

The Bus Strike rolls on as the workers rejected the MTA's last best and final offer, which means the MTA can hire replacements, which they say they wont do. Neither will they go to binding arbitration since that would bring in outsiders to solve their problems.
Um, isn't that the point?
Anyway, on the grocery strike front, the union has removed pickets from one of the stores out here (ralphs) so we can get our shop on there again. But they haven't had any talks either.
And, why are the teachers about to strike in Chicago again? Oh boy...

2. What food do you hate that most people love?
Salads suck, lol...
3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?
Eve. She has a ok booty n all, but the paw prints on her chest just draw attention to the fact that she has no tits... her kids gone starve if they have to be breast-fed... LOL
4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find attractive?

5. What popular trend baffles you?
The whole cornrow, do-rag, oversized hat thing. and niggas who wear silver chains will always make me snicker.

I have been at this college too long.
I now have a stalker.
s/he IMed me on AOL while I was at the library, talkin bout s/he was watchin me, so I was like, what I got on then...
Black shirt, rocawear jeans, and playing some colorful game on the computer.
That was me...
They wanted to meet up after the library closed, but I had something to do.
This is too wild. I've never had a stalker before; didn't think I was 'stalkable'... But, I'll have more news as this develops.
So, I'm watching the 2nd OT of Lakers-Spurs, and the Spurs need a 3 pointer to tie. 4 seconds on the clock, and who gets the ball and take the shot?
Kevin Willis, forever known as Solo and the Black Destro, or if you prefer, T-Rex.
Needless to say, probably because of his T-Rex arms, the shot was blocked by Shaq.
I laughed for like 5 minutes off that...
Today, and tonight...
Thanks for the hug, Boog...
Thanks for the ear, Martha...
Thanks for the offer of advice (again), Cha...

Now if I can just beat OJ's Elephants...
I am liking the shape my script is taking so far, too. I think its gone be cool, but nothing like what is planned in the next year...
Anyways, I sleepy...
But for now, I must say, there is nothing else that gets a nigga on charge and hyped up to do some shit like the monday night football theme... (not hank williams jr--by the way he resurrected his career with that shit huh?--but when they start talking about the teams...)

Thank you, thank you. Some Said, It could not be done, that the small nation of Bolivion would not make it. But, Bolivion has survived!
I made it through the Issey Miyake Trials, got Straight A's, dodged a black mime, lived with a crackhead, amongst other things.
Tyson, Jacko, Gary Coleman and Kobe provided us with laughs. Arrah Kelly provides us with music.
Side Note: There is a little known town in Bolivion called FUCK RADIO AND BET, which is where I have been holed up and not exposed to thoia thoing or anything like that. I occasionally leave town, but thats about it.
I've Written about Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky and Chicago. But none more so than Los Angeles (BOOOOOOOOOOOO).

Ahem...
Dorothy was a waitress, on the Promenade,
She worked the night shift,
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine,
she got a lotta tips...
Its a rainy day out. A day I would need a Prince album. It's funny how that works out since he is not one to like rainy days, but for this day Sign 'O the Times would have worked wonders, specifically The Ballad of Dorothy Parker...
Well...
earlier, I'd been talkin stuff, in a violent room,
fightin' with lovers past,
I needed someone/with a quicker wit than mine/
Dorothy was fast...
I can sit and put this song on repeat and just write for days, it seems like...
Well...
I ordered/yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I aint too hungry/
Dorothy laughed
she said/it sounds like a real man to me/you're kinda cute/
you wanna take a bath?/(do you wanna, do you wanna) bath.../
About, past lovers, future wifeys, dream wifeys, present flirtrations with happiness, gangster movies, all kinda randomness...
Ohh, I said cool/but I'm leavin my pants on/(what you say?)
Cuz i'm kinda goin with someone..
She said/sounds like a real man to me/mind if I turn on the radio....
Or, I sit and imagine myself at a fork in the road, somewhere where I need to decide on things to determine the future and what not. Contemplating decisions, wrestling with the meaning of life, the universe and everything.
Yeah, those were good days...

Of course write-ins are available, so if u think someone shold be in, by all means, put them down!
Well, today is kind of a mixed feeling day.
The Bears won, and I got some scenes for my script done. Which was good.
I got a message from my aunt today that Moms fell and broke her leg and her ankle. Which was bad. Apparently she was in my stepbrother's garage and slipped and fell down the steps, which are made of concrete.
She will be laid up for 4-8 weeks. When I called she did seem to be in good spirits, or she could have been doped up. Either way she said she did not need me to come home or anything, she just needed to hear from her only child, who was more than happy to oblige.
A lil prayer, a lil rest, she'll be iight...
