There's a bunch of cool ish in the works...oh and if you noticed I no longer use 'cuss' words in my blogs, my pops yelled at me...haha...he told me to stop...I'm a gentleman and i wanna stay a gentleman...so...big things...
A couple of friends and I decided we do great things...and we're going to write a book...that's right...we already started on it...it's gonna be a process and it MAY become a series of books...we have a lot of short stories to tell...we were just have a few cocktails and talkin about the good old days and we realized that everyone that we told these stories to didn't believe them...they're that crazy...and listeners tend to be drawn to our story-telling...why not share them with the world...this can be considered egotistical..but who isn't? anyone who has come up with a story and thought it to be good enough to publish is obviously thinking their story is the bollocks...ya know...but whateves...i think writing a book with some friends is a fun idea, to say the least...you all should try it...just start thinking about fun things you have done and jot em down...or maybe even extremely sad or disturbing things...writing is fun when you don't have a teacher telling you what or how to write...if you just keep a notepad filled with random ideas, you can always go back and read through and remember...so today's lesson is to write your thoughts down...with no structure...just write!
i heard the other day that schools are now confused about competition...they are taking competition out of learning...i firmly believe in giving the kids something to strive for...don't you? i don't agree with putting down a child for not doing well in school, but, i don't think if a kid does poorly you should call him winner...false security is not cool...not only does that make the kid who's not actually learning the material feel OK with where he is, but it makes the kid that JUST busted his ass to learn the chapter, or whatnot, feel that his work was for nothing...he/she will decide that he can get praise for doing less work...this is what we called 'dumbing down' and it's what is going on in America...we're not encouraging hard work and work ethic and effort, we're simply making the kid who doesn't do as well, feel better about it...i personally was never a great student in school...my bros and sis' pretty much all destroyed my report cards every year...but i always busted my ass and eventually i graduated with a respectable GPA...i had something to strive for...i WANTED to do well...i was NEVER told that a D or a C was good...they were not the 3rd and 4th winning grades...that's ridiculous...if no one ever reads this, at least i got it off my chest, but if you do read this...please...push your kids to greatness...push yourself to greatness, your friends, your family, encourage them to be great...if everyone stops caring about being great, because less is just as good these days, then the Great Ones will just leave us...we will never have the Babe Ruths, and the George Washingtons and Bill Gates, Dr. Dre, Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Paul Oakenfold...even Madonna, they'll all have no desire to be great...no desire to overcome and succeed...we'll be left with idiocracy...and that's all...nothing to look forward to...the ability to want to better ourselves is our human instinct...don't lose that...
I went bowling last night with some friends...it was, a blast from the past...it's been so long since I've been bowling...i don't think it gets enough credit...bowling is fun as hell...thought i was out of shape and my wrist started getting tired...but i bowled a 189 my first game...which i think is pretty damn good considering my time away from the sport...yea i was a dork when i was younger, and I'm not apologizing for it...i was a dork...i still am actually...I'm just way more awesome now...ha ha but yea, i used to be on a league team with my older bro...get your ass to a bowling alley and practice b/c i wanna know where all the sweet bowling alleys are in every city we're about to play...so on off days drive by can school some kiddies in the art of bowl...bumpers are optional...see you there...
OK, my food is here...I'm gonna go destroy it...later on!

so, I would so play you on bowling (once you come back to Detroit), along with with my sister. Although you would definitaly cream us. haha
ill take you on. im pretty sick at wii bowling ;o)
So I've been struggling with my school issue for the past couple of months. I don't wanna stop, I'm gonna be paying back student loans until the day I. I left a pretty comfortable life because I decided that I needed more from myself and even though it's been so much harder than I imagined...it was, without a doubt, the best decision I ever could've made. Anyways, last week I decided to continue on to get my Bachelor's (even though it's taken me a hell of a lot longer than most just to get my Associates)...because I decided that I still wanted more! You're right. We all need to strive to be the best people we can be. No matter how we get there or how long it takes...as long as we get there. Thanks...I definitely needed that last bit of encouragement...and I got it from your blog! You're amazing Fitzgerald.
Ohhh...and depending on when you get into the ATL/Athens area in a couple weeks, you should have time for some bowling. Hit me up if you guys wanna get in a game and I'll check the area out before you get there. See you soon :)
