Whats Change?

Have you ever heard that song by Tupac Shakur "Changes" well I am writing an essay about it for English and having to listen to it and analyze it has made me really understand some of the lyrics in my own way made its different to you but to me I feel like Tupac is trying to tell us that there is not going to be change in the way we stereotype or have people treat others because of race. I've never really ever listened to any song like I have ever done this one. I had thought about change too after listening to this song and I can tell you I really don't know what that word could mean. Like what does it mean? or why do people shout it out when they want something different? Think about what the song means and listen to the lyrics.

That Group Or Solo?

So have you ever worked in a group and thought to your self "I would rather work alone" well I guess if you get a bad group or you just personally like working alone than I guess its good but i personally see a lot of good in group work because you can bounce ideas off of each other and you can see why they think that way. Also another good reason is because you can always meet your class mates and kind of see how they think and use them for a study group later or just to know if you want to stay away from them or get to know them better, if you know what I mean (; but other things can be good to you just have to know why and know your not going to be humiliated because you have a certain idea. Many people don't like working in groups because of being afraid but not all they time are they going to force you to do all the work I mean if your smart yeah it can happen but usually people like to feel like they contributed and they will all help or they will split the work.

What really pisses you off?

pet peeveWe all have those pet peeves right? Well its save to say I do and I cant say if you would agree with me or not on them but I feel like something's piss me off more than others. What I really cant stand is a hypocrite, I cant stand when somebody is saying that's rude or disrespectful yet they just did it themselves or when they tell you that you shouldn't be eating something and next week they are eating it and you give them that look like The F*ck? and they give you the same look saying What? 

Looking at my picture I'm guessing you know what I'm going to tell you is my next pet peeve, yes yes its when that asshole driver doesn't use his or her blinker like come on is it really that hard??? I don't think so. Do you realize you could potentially hit somebody or make somebody swerve or do you not just care cause if so you shouldn't be driving cause its dangerous. I personally have almost been hit by one of these drivers and I can tell you that asshole was just going to hit me or I had to swerve fast because he was going 75 mph on the freeway and he wanted to go faster.

Labels...

Being labeled something before you even meet someone isn't the best feeling because they already have their mind set to what they think of you and how they may even want you to answer their own questions about you in their way. Its not that they really want to make you be someone else its just simply they heard and/or see how your particular race or ethnicity acts on TV or even down the street from where they may live.
Lets admit we've all said "watch out for them hunny they may be like those boys you see on TV roaming the streets and robbing people" because their the same race.  I can say I have been guilty of clutching my phone a bit tighter in a bad area or checking my back pockets when a guy has passed behind me, but I myself don't feel like I'm a racist I just have a stereotypical mindset.
