Multiple stuff

1. This one is a shout-out to my brother, All-American, #1 recruit football player, JOSHUA Perry. Notice how I said his name is Joshua, not Josh. All of a sudden, people just go around shortening peoples' names, without their permission. This has been bothering him as of late, but he does sort of have a valid point. I mean, if someone started just calling me Wes without my permission, I would have a problem with it. Granted nowadays that I introduce myself to people as Wes, this doesn't really bother me. But people just call Joshua Josh on a regular basis. Let it be known that he'll make himself clear to you that his name is not Josh if you call him that.

2. This is something that I thought of a few minutes ago. Don't know why, but it just happened. But here it is: STOP USING THE N WORD! This is a message for everyone, but especially African-Americans. Why do we as a people think it's right to use it? It doesn't matter if it's spelled with the -a or the -er ending. It's still very offensive and degrading. The background of that word should be enough for people to stop using it. But yet people still use it freely like it's no big deal. It's portrayed in American culture as being alright to use because rappers use that word so much. It's not ok for ANYONE to use. I just felt like I needed to get this off of my chest.

More annoying stuff

This is not in any way a complaint, but just something I have been noticing lately. While walking to class today, I saw a girl wearing an OSU hoodie and leggings... That appeared to be all she was wearing. Apparently wearing pants is an option now. I'll keep that in mind for when I don't feel like wearing pants. Like, I said, I'm not complaining (because it's been almost a month since I became an adult, and she was kinda cute...), but I am 100% sure her parents would've been disappointed, thinking they had raised her better. If I had a daughter (not making that mistake...), she would have better respect for herself than to just go out in leggings and a hoodie. Maybe leggings and a dress, but that's when she's out of my house (If I ever make the mistake of having kids [especially if they're girls], they're gonna hate me, because they are gonna wear pants or dresses/skirts that go to the floor). If I were to see her in just leggings and a hoodie, I would beat the black off of her behind. I don't care if she's 12 or 32. She is not gonna degrade herself like that and dress like a harlot. It's bad enough that music these days degrades women, and now people like this girl are making that legitimate. My point being, for women to always be respectable of themselves and be sure that what you're wearing is tasteful. Otherwise, just know that another creepy guy like me (or you may be lucky enough to get me) will write a post like this about you. I'm done for now.

Annoying stuff

So... I like to think of myself as a chill guy, but lately, I've been bothered by a few things. I don't know if it's the fact that I can write a note like this and not get yelled at by my parents (They probably will, but I'm not gonna be home for a while), but I've decided to put this here for a whopping 7 people to read. You're welcome, 7 people.

1. When people call me a creep on Facebook.

The way I see it is that it's not creeping if you put it on the internet for your friends to see. So If I happen to know your address or how many guys you've had sex with or you receive a phone call or a text message from me randomly knowing you didn't give me your number, that's on you. They make Facebook messaging for a reason.

2. Women... Told you it was coming.

Women... So great but so confusing. A lot of them go on and complain about guys who hurt them, but yet, they still want them. Like, seriously? There are so many guys out there who will treat you all like queens, but they are the ones who are getting ignored. So, the next time I hear about the guy who hurt you for the 583rd time, I will be less sympathetic.

3. If you want to know this one, you can send me a message, since I don't feel comfortable putting it out here on my page. It's not bad, but if someone who it concerns reads it, they won't be very happy with my comment.

4. Being called white... By white people.

This has lessened ever since I've gone to college, but I wanna put it out there anyway. I am NOT white. Just because I am an articulate African-American male and don't fall into the Black stereotype (which I find very offensive and base), doesn't mean that I am white on the inside. I'm sorry that I don't sag my jeans and listen to ignorant rap "music" and that I want to leave a positive legacy. And for the record, I do like fried chicken.

5. Perfect pitch is not a superpower.

That one is self explanatory. I'm just a regular old musician who can hear things that some people can't. It's not that big of a deal. It's been pretty refreshing meeting other musicians in college who have it. This one hasn't been bothering me too much, aside from the occasional out of tune piano, but oh well.

Aside from the rants about how terrible music is today (there will be plenty more, don't worry), that's it. Hope you find this entertaining.

MORE STUFF THAT'S BEEN GRINDING MY GEARS...

6. Why Herbie's songs?

After hearing about this myth that the Monsters Inc. theme was Dolphin Dance, I had to check it out for myself. Low and behold, I found said statement to be true. This brought me back to Hairspray and how one of the songs is Watermelon Man (which I made a joke out of and got in trouble, hence the middle name Bedrock [which is NOT real]. I'm still unhappy about it.) Anyways, I just hope that one day Herbie Hancock sees what's going on and says "what the hell Disney and the Hairspray people! I don't go around stealing your stuff!" then sues them for it. Now that I'm done rambling for now, I'm gonna go make a movie and rip off Chameleon while I'm at it.

YES, this is my note from Facebook. I needed to start somewhere!
