I SHAVED MY HEAD!!!!!!

This past Thursday, I did the unthinkable: I shaved my head.

The day after New Year's, my cousins' father insisted that I cut my hair down, just because. I hate it when people who aren't even your parents instruct you to do things that you shouldn't be obligated to follow, yet he bickers and tells me to turn off my iPod when I'm in the car, get off the cell phone after I spend too much time talking to people, etc., etc. Me being the idiot that I am went along with what he said 99.9% of the time, and I fed into his B.S. yet again when my cousins' and I went to the barber and had my hair taken down, just because of their father's idiocy thinking that he's my dad too...when he isn't!

I was not please as to what became of my hair to the point where I said "screw it", and I shaved it all off. There was no reason for me to cut my hair off just because he told me to, I had a right to do what I wanted with my hair, even if it meant growing it long and having it straightened, because that's the style I like to have it: straightened and combed backwards with hair glue holding it down. I always left my house with my hair in a presentable manner, but he didn't care.

So I'm starting from scratch, because the barber botched my hair when I picked it out and it didn't look even at all. My mom was shocked with what I did but she didn't really question me so much as to why I did it. But I'm never listening to anyone when they tell me what to do with my hair. So now I shaved everything off, and I'm growing my hair from scratch, and when it's back to a reasonable length again, I'm doing what I want to do with it, whether I want to straighten it, spike it, or fauxhawk it for the matter.

Week of my life....

This past week, I have done absolutely NOTHING.

Don't get me wrong; sometimes, it's fun to do nothing. But then it gets absolutely boring and sooner or later you'll eventually feel like crap because your life will go to the shitter. So yeah, I need to get myself out of bed and find something to do.

I have already registered for classes for next semester at my college (I still go to the College of Staten Island), but my classes won't start until the 29th of this month (which falls under a Friday). So I have nearly three weeks till school, which I really can't wait for.

I'm back!!!

It's hard to believe that I haven't posted here since August. Time sure does fly...I've been real busy. But I promise to be more active and pay some attention to my blog, because it certainly does help to write what's on my mind.

So let's see, it's 2010 already. I, for one, am extremely excited that 2009 is dead and gone, because that year honestly sucked, seriously. Everything that could have went wrong sure as hell did. The only things good I saw out of 2009 was the fact that I graduated and that I got into a good college, although I didn't need anyone's help to pull through; I did it all on my own (trying not to be selfish, so to speak, but it's true; I try to seek little help in terms of what I do). And I can't forget the fact that I'm 18 now! As much as I dread the fact that my childhood days are over, I have to continue on with reality.

2010 so far...too soon to tell. I'll wait till the end of the month to give my critique as to how 2010 has been and how I hope it will be.

In terms of school, I didn't do as well as I had provisioned. I took four classes in my freshman semester: a history class, two film classes (film after all is my major) and an english class. I got a C+ in my English class, a C in my history class and one of my film classes, and an A in my other film class. I do not know what that averages to, but I'm going to say that it averages to a solid B-. Not bad, but I know I can do better than that. After all, I do want to impress NYU if I want to transfer to that school come my junior year. Next semester, I am taking five (5) classes for a total of 18 credits. I really hope that I get higher than a B in all of them but I know I'll have to work harder. No muss, no fuss. I can pull it off if I have a strong mind frame...which I do.
