What is Your Body Count?...

Now I'm not going to take credit for this idea. My brother Mike came up with this seminar for one of our school organizations and it was titled " What's your body count?". Now, this is my question, I'm going to make this blog short and sweet. What determines if someone has a high body count?...Is the max for high numbers different for boys and girls?...If so why?...So, next time you sit down with your boo jank ask them these questions. In defense of females ( take this and run with it ladies), just because a girl has numbers does not ALWAYS make her a hoe ( yea yea I said it). Notice the always, now in defense of men, usually it does. But I'm just going to leave it at that.

The FORCE of Hampton University

Once again, Hampton University has done it!!!...In the shadow of our first black president and Beyonce singing at the Inauguration ball (where she was FLAWLESS!!), Hampton Universities band ( The Force) put on a show at Tuesday's parade. The band performed Stevie Wonder's, Sign, Sealed, Delivered as they marched past our H.N.I.C...This just adds to the prestige that our Home by the Sea has. Even though we look past it, Hampton is the top of the line for H.B.C.U's...clearly my big bro Duke said it best in his blog..www.singduke.blogspot.com.. We at Hampton are obviously signed, sealed and delivered.

A Woman of Excellence...

This dedication is well over due. Words can not express the compassion I have for this woman. My Grandmother (Nana), died the week before mother's day in 2002. I was in the seventh grade when my angel entered the gates of heaven. I just had to take a break from my day to express my unconditional love to my favorite lady. A lady that no other female could amount to in my life. I pray she watches over me everyday as I try not to disappoint her on my way to success! R.I.P Nana!!!!

Fighters @ Hampton...What?

So I'm sitting in "Stu" today before my last class. And I happened to walk right into a fight. Wtf?...fighting at Hampton University...Fry that sh** right up. So for all other fighters around school, here are a few tips...Peep the title!

Tips of Fighting for Idiots (lmao)
1. Not in the Student Center
Not a bright idea, we're adults now. Don't embarrass yourself.
2. Try the Harbors
I'm sure most people would rather take a fight to the Harbors, instead of the Student Center.
3. Make sure you're actually going to fight.
Don't start fighting then take a water break. Not tough at all.
4. Don't fight!
All of us know, fighting isn't the answer.
5. CHECK MY REFERENCES!!!!

My President is officially the H.N.I.C....



I wake up this morning around 10:15 am and turn on the television to find that coverage of the inauguration for our 44th President, Barack Obama,was on. When I start watching, the presidential family had just got out of church with the Bishop T.D Jakes (preacher at the mega church Potter's House). After they left, I stay tuned to watch the motorcade escort Mr. and Mrs. Obama stop at the White House for coffee with President Bush and his wife. Finally, the President elect and family get to the Capitol for his speech and the oath into office. It's not often to see history we did today. Who' s Who of our generation were sitting front and center at the Inauguration (Ali, Magic Johnson, Denzel Washington, Steven Spielberg, the Clinton's and Diddy just to name a few). It took hundreds of years to get to where we are now...We can't make our hard working icons disappointed by going backwards.

A Weekend With the Infamous Marcus Burnett...lol

Friday, January 16th was my birthday as you know ( Thanks for the Birthday wishes). Since my birthday was on a Friday, I made my birthday a five day weekend. It started Thursday night around 11:30 pm when I joined my big sisters (Mia, Jessica and Morgan) in shots (Goose + Bacardi = SMACKED!!!) I woke up on Friday and joined the team in helping me stop my New Years Resolution...lol...(geesh...thanks). After I went to my first (9am) class I declared the rest of the day a national holiday and began my weekend. I then joined the TEAM for a few shots of my favorite Jose' Cuervo ( cleared 2 bottles in three minutes)...TWISTED!!!!...From then on I was twisted for twelve hours straight. Saturday, ohhhhh boy what a day!!!!! SMACKED all day then went to my big sis ( KiKi) house warming party and then tapped out around one. Sunday ( POPPIN!!!) me and the team went to church at Calvary...and then for lunch at Outback. My special guest called from UVA to tell me they were on there way. By the time they got here I had already began my pre-gaming, when they got their, the notch turned up and we opened the Diddy (Ciroc). Once we finally got to the party (Not just the average house party!) at the Kingdom, it was a line standing off the porch. The team and I went ahead and walked in.

Victoria Released another Secret...

Starting in fall 2009 your favorite HBCU will have their very own panty edition. In addition to the PINK brand of sweat pants, shirts, and casual night ware, Victoria Secrets will be releasing panties and undies with some of the top HBCU's on it. The first release of panties will include Hampton, Howard, Southern University and NC A&T on them. So instead of ladies buying a Hampton University sweat shirt, they are going to go run to your nearest Victoria Secrets to buy their very own HBCU Hampton University panties. Maybe next, Ralph Lauren will replace their next season of Logo Horse boxers for your favorite NBA team. This would be a crazy sight. You go to your next lingerie party and everybody is in their very own HBCU underware. Probably be the worst party ever, everybody in there would be thinking of their next presentation or paper due on Monday....lol....ahhhhhh man.

Why at 20?

For the ones who do not know my birthday is in nine days! ( I'll be accepting money, gifts, cakes, food, and any other gifts) According to the "Commonwealth of Virginia", your drivers license expires on your 20th birthday. Why they don't have it expire before or after, I have not the slightest idea. So to prevent any problems on January 16th I went this morning!

So I went out Virginia Beach to the DMV thinking that the lines would be shorter then the ones in Hampton, because nothing is ever right in this sorry a** city...lol...but when I get in the building I get this little ticket that tells me nothing about how many people are in front of me (if you ever been to the VA DMV, the tickets are including different letters and then numbers in numerical order). So after sitting there for about an hour in fifteen mintunes, I finally get to the cashier/ associate/ what ever else you want to call her. I just happen to have my HU shirt on and she gives me this long talk of how proud she is I'm not like the "typical" black man (if anyone really knows me, that really pisses me off when females talk about the typical black man). After she gives me this long fifteen minute talk, she tells me I have to sit down again and wait for my picture to be taken. I thought I was back in school for a minute with the "HU Run Around". I sit down again and some Captain Robo Cop lookin boy came over and told me I couldn't use my phone, I gave him the ni*** please look and kept texting my lil cousin who bored at school...lol. Finally I get called up to take my picture. I get up to another lady, and I was thinking someone should take a picture of her with this orange hair and show how stupid she looked...lol...

After I take my picture, I finally get my id and I ask the lady why isn't horizontal? She said I don't get it until I'm 21. So basically she told me I have to do all of this again next year...no no no see the devil is a liar cause I won't be going back no time soon...

What's so special about 20 that makes me get a new id?...why not 21, when it means something?..why do the people at the DMV work like robots?..and why in the hell did that lady have orange hair?...what was she thinking?.....

Oh and why don't you CHECK MY REFERENCES????

The Power of Karma....

It's kind of awkward that I'm starting my blog off with such a random topic but clearly it had to be spoken on.

So on Saturday, a good friend (Randall) and I went out to eat and just went to see how life is. So we started talking about how Karma is real. He was telling me about how as he gets older things that happened in the past are coming back around. Once we leave the restaurant I call my brothers ( Mike and Rashad...lol) and tell them about my paranoia with how Karma is real. For the ones who don't believe in it, trust and believe this sh** is real...lol

So since me and Rashad are friends going back to middle school, he knows how I was the most. For the ones who didn't know "back in day" I was the typical athlete. RIGHT!...that right there says enough. I've done my dirt in my day...lol...past tense!.Don't Judge Me...Anyways, so I was talking to them and I was like what if all the bad things that I did to girls in high school comes back to me with the one girl I really like. How would I feel?...What would I do?...Who is this girl?...these are all the questions that came to my head. Then I was wondering how can avoid it? It's too late now the dirt has been done, I'm just going to have to face the disappointment like the man that I am.

So until Saturday, I only had one New Year's Resolution in which I have already blown. It's only six days into the new year ( clearly going to be a blog). Now I've added to the list. I'm going to start take life serious. A lot of the mistake people make are clearly cause they don't recognize the consequences that come along with them. Someones emotions are a horrible thing to play with, so I decided I'm going to try the serious approach, and take things for what they are worth.

So as I sit here early in the morning writing this, I realize all of this came from a simple conversation about Karma. Nobody really realizes the Power of Karma and how Karma's a Bi***!!!

But before you realize that... I want you do one thing CHECK MY REFERENCES!!!!
