"your friend faith stinks"-jerold
So when i did my internship in Colorado there were nine other interns who were doing the same thing, one of them was a girl named faith. I talk to faith every once in a while, we talk about recent happenings, what were doing with life, ya know all that fun stuff. the question here is why would i write a blog about faith?....because she made fun of the fact that half of things i write in these blogs are misspelled. Well Faith, im sorry....i cant read or write. Honestly as we speak, my pet monkey Jerold is typing, and he has fat fingers which make it terribly difficult to hit all the right keys. So next time you want to insult my spelling ability think about who your really hurting, thats right jerold. (faith, this is jerold mike doesn't know im typing this, cause he cant read of course, but it really hurt my feelings to hear you say that. So unless you apologize, im going to peg you in the face with a banana) Faith i hope the next time we talk you will have more positive things to say about me and jerold's blog. Until then, may god have mercy on your soul

Walker Told me I have aids
The title has nothing to with this blog, i just watched that clip on you tube...and its ridiculous, but funny.
College is almost over. I finish in less then a month, and then...school is done fooorevver. I'm gunna miss the city, and my friends here for sure, but as far as the work load is considered, im ready to call it a day. I really feel my self shuttin down, and getting work done has become nearly impossible....oh well ya cant win them all.
So im doing this research project on something called the Safe homes initiative, Its where cops can knock on youth's houses...when cops suspect that their involved with gangs. With consent the cops then search the house...and anything they find can be used against them, besides the possession of a firearm. (the whole point of the initiative is to "get guns").
Anyways, the community is pissed, because only poor black neighborhoods are being targeted, and most people don't know they can say no and refuse the search. So i've been going to these town hall meeting...and there awesome. And recently, the BPD has decided to suspend the program because of public outcry. I must say this is the first time i've ever seen 1. the police Actually just targeting poor families, and secondly, the community have the power to organize and actually fight off something that is not right. I know we read about these things, But actually seeing it first hand, was awesome.
Thats all i got for now
