There is a difference. Better learn it you dick!!
Being up here at Morehouse, I have encountered quite a few interesting people. All of them brilliant!! But there is this group of three that thinks they are so fucking briliiant that they dont have anything else to learn. They are always trying to start an intellectual debate and remain adamant intransigent on their ignorance. Recently I had a business event to where I encountered these fools. Everyone knows how to dress for occasions; If you dont, you should ask before arriving to the event. I told one of these assholes how to dress for this event --business casual-- but they completely ignored me. My dude had on a gray suit with pink pinstripes and a gaudy ass acrylic silvr and pink tie that was tied into a bowtie. and he was the most conservative. Im not saying I dont respect his creativity but damn dog, its a time and place for everything. This sparked an epiphany.
There is a definite difference between auspiciousness and ambition. These dudes..are ambitious but lack the humility to be auspicious. They are reciprocating their intentions in their quest for success and preponderance; in actuality, they are on a road less traveled to doom. And I got front row seats to this showing of this stupidity. I cant wait to see how it ends.
I had a dream--but what does it mean?
IF my interpretation is right...I think my dream was telling me that I am my own frat. I dont need a frat to define me or accentuate me. Maybe Im just that damn fly. Maybe Im just that damn influencing. Maybe its telling me to start my own frat. -->JEFF SO PHI--> Not to sound like I'm on my high horse but I am lol.....Dont ruin it for me lol.
I am interested though...What do you see me as a Que or an Alpha?

Got Loud?
Lately I've been smoking quite a bit much. People who knew me before I came to Morehouse would say I'm "trippin'", but yet I don't care. I've used the excuse of smoking weed to be of equivalence to the Egyptian Lotus Flower. They used to to accentuate spiritual involvement and heal the body on all levels. My philosophy was that weed was just another medium to get one to their state of abstraction. In this state of abstraction they would be able to focus on whatever spirits better because they feel apart of the normal feeling of being on earth. This feeling,if used properly, would make them feel a bit closer with their spirits. On the other hand. it would temporarily heal any thing on any level because if that person is high enough they would forget about anything troubling their body.
Being the inquisitive being that I am, I decided to dig alittle deeper. turns out my philosophy was deeply erroneous--with the healing part-- becuase smoking increases B12 deficiency. B12 is a "vitamin" (really a microbe that is produced by microorganisms or edible bacteria) that results in fatigue, paleness, anorexia, mental confusion, delusions, paranoia, weight loss, respiratory problems, etc. if one has a insufficient amount. The body only needs about a seventh of an aspirin tablet in a lifetime to be healthy but B12 is circulated. Through digestion and poop many can have insufficeint amounts of BB12 in thier system.
In a 1972 study scientists found that vegetarians and smokers are more likely to have B12 deficiency than a meat eating non smoker. So as I was just getting used to this new habit, my curiosity pooped on my party again. Fuck!!

Its a. . . Barack!!
I'm not the one to get into political debates because personally I think it's all sophism. However, I admire Barack's integrity or strive to embody perfect integrity. With that, I'm starting to notice that dear old Barack is giving people guidance to the loopholes in his character. Barack is issuing out a lot of broken promises on top of more broken promises. I know bringing to fruition all of your Presidential aspirations is hell with the consistent aversion from the senate, house of representatives, and both parties but making ridiculous offers like he has been-- makes it seem like he is trying to be more of America's superhero rather than America's President.

Could Technology Be the New Method of Subordination?
Is technology new way of racism? Joz Wang noticed this when her face detection Nikkon camera displayed "Did someone blink?" anytime she took a picture. ironically, none of her friends who weren't in her same ethnicity group experienced this. A black employee at an RV dealership experienced this when her co-worker's HP laptop camera cut off whenever she entered in the screen. Hp quickly responded to say that they attempt to make the products more effective for all of their consumers but a couple well known technology experts say that this type of malfunctioning could easily be fixed before they hit the market. So are these malfunctions rooted by laziness or ignorance?
My high school football coach used to combats our jokes about his declination towards technology saying that the owners of these companies were racist white men who were only looking to innovate the practice of racism. We'd always blow it off and label him a deranged old man with a bad past, but this type of information leads me to question how valid his statements were. I'm just saying...is technology covertly being used as a method of racism?
Hip Hop has already been proven to be a method to sustain the subordination of Blacks. I wonder if technology is the way to subordinate Blacks and Asians? It seems as if the pattern is to find what that thnic group loves and highly uses then turn it into a tool that has hidden detriments towards that same group. So I pose another question, if it is seeming as if whites have this propensity to subordinate other groups, how can these other groups create an inverted affect to this practice?
Ready to Die?. . . Vicariously?
According to Time Magazine's "What Happens When We Die" article, science brings a better definition an yet better undrstanding of death to the mindsets of those who are daring to understand. Although Dr. Sam Parnia conducted his study in 2007, this 2008 article has yet to be disproved. Parnia explains that death is often times percieved as a moment but in actuality it is a method."People commonly perceive death as being a moment — you're either dead or you're alive. And that's a social definition we have. But the clinical definition we use is when the heart stops beating, the lungs stop working, and as a consequence the brain itself stops working." When heart beating stops about 10-15 seconds after that the brain stops working. Now that they are brain dead and about five minutes pass, the cells began to undergo changes in a domino affect. After so many cells have been changed the body begins to decompose. After about an hour or so too many changes have been made and that person can not be brought back to life."So it's not a moment; it's a process that actually begins when the heart stops and culminates in the complete loss of the body, the decompositions of all the cells." Although the body is dead , the mind (different from the brain) may still be working. Scientists are working to find out what exactly is going on in dead people's minds. Once this insight is gathered science and religion will have a extended gap between them. This study will be a bit quarrelsome because it will in fact prove how afterlife operates and whether certain beliefs are even valid.

Leave 'Em Alone
"You're a fuckin crackhead" says an associate of mines today as this dude does something questionable. But it made me think...whats's wrong with a crackhead? It is a human tendency to desire for a state of abstraction. That medium to get to that place varies with many but it is definitely there to serve as the escort from this cruel world to a heavenly safe haven. Maybe one who gets addicted to their instrument of abstraction is one that is experiencing the worst triumphs caused by this cruel world. So in an effort to calibrate the craziness the repetitive use of this tool in turn has its boomerang affect on the individual; too much abstraction can lead to too heavy of a burden which subordinates an individual. I don't think its fair to criticize these individuals because they have had hard life as is...why not lend a helping hand?
Dear Ol' Morehouse. . .Get Real
After reading Immaneul Kant's 1784 bash on societys malfntioned structure,"What is Enlightenment", it shows me that society has been limiting the range of expression for some time. For those who are unaware this article speaks on how scholarsmsut emmerge rom different levels of confinement. First socially, then legislatively, then ultimately religiously. He says this fear of autotomous curiosity wil in turn help socety and not hurt it. Contempoaririly I find contradictiions in my school's "prestige". Just like the perpetrating pupils that perambulate amongst the clasghing egos of each other--the administration does the same thing. "Morehouse men are renaissance men." "Redefine yourself, then redefine he world" These two statements are what I prided my application process--and appealing process-- on when seek admittance in this school. Now that I am here, I am seeking freedom from this hypocrisy.
Morehouse wants its pupils to be apart from society's confinements. It attempts to provide a permanent state of abstraction but reversely provides a setting full of secular confinements. This dress code....what if that was a way for them to express their individuality? Why is my Composition professor threatening to fail me because my aversion towards systematic writing is overt? Why is the "brotherhood" based off competition rather than communion? What the hell am I supposed to be learning from shitty facilities and lethargic lecturers?
. . .Dear old Morehouse you must let your pupils express their individuality after all that is what your selling them in the Marketing/PR tools. My assumption is the fear of losing the prestige behind the reputation is what's causing these unseen constraints. Well, wouldn't that be a limitation your imposing on yourself? I want to experience the school I signed loans worth 40K for. . .may you grant me that wish please?

It's war time.
I believe that communication will prevent a lot of stress and drama in relationships. Believe it or not, I love my followers and readers dearly; for you have shown interest in my thoughts. With that allow me to tell you right now that war begins tomorrow. With that I must stay engaged in battle in order to conquer one more semester. I wont be able to post as frequently in the upcoming months.
Who would have thought dinner would be so enlightening?
Last night I attended the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's Annual Dinner. The event description entails hundreds of business leaders from all across Georgia congregate together for a dinner (typically followed by a breakfast) to iscuss politics, to discuss innovative business strategies,but most importantly to network. I had the pleasure to sit with Turner Broadcasting System's Auditing department. I gained much insight from the employees of this company that I feel more mentally trained enough to rightfully wear the title of "Mr. Auspicious." Their words were both enlightening and encouraging (Not to mention the encouragement I received from Carl, a freshman at Emory University, that has been involved in the stock market for years.) however the Keynote speaker for that night touched me the most. Mike Huckabee shared two points that night that were right on time.
First Point:
The schooling system is only perpetuating incompetence. They focus solely on the left side leaving the right side unentertained. He shared there are a lot of high school students that drop out becuase school is just boring. most times after they catch the flow of the system its easy to have success but many resent it becuase it is no longer a challenge. After reading Miseducation of a Negro and Rich Dad Poor Dad-- I cant say that I didnt agree wholeheartedy. This allowed me to see that what Morehouse offers is great but it isnt going to give me the success I greed for. It is going to take outside studying and learning to get me there.
Second Point:
Mike shared a story about when he went bob sledding for the a governors vacation. He shared that he was showed the ropes by a teenager who didnt really show much intellect or prudence (imagine how he explained his hysterics lol...hilarious). The teenager told him everything he needed to know but it wasn't until 5 seconds before the race had begun that the teenager empowered Huckabee for the rest of his life. The teen said " If you mess up , don't spend time trying to fix the past; It's behind you--forget it. Instead steer for the curve; Brace yourself to conquer it." This advice touched Mike and allowed him to be successful in so many other areas of his life. This bit of advice was also very beneficial for me as well. I seem to use my ill preparation to be the bane of my success. I should forget ad look at it as an institution that made me stronger to accomplish the things I have and the things in will in the future.
. . .Thanks alot Mike!

No need to apologize Harry...
This is an article i got from Fox News...
"Reid apologizes for “no Negro dialect” comment about Barack Obama from 2008 election
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid issued an apology today over private remarks reported in a new book in which he described Barack Obama during the presidential election as a black candidate who would benefit from his "light-skinned" appearance and speaking patterns "with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one."
His comments were referenced in the upcoming book about the 2008 presidential election out Tuesday titled, “Game Change” by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann.
"I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words. I sincerely apologize for offending any and all Americans, especially African Americans for my improper comments."I was a proud and enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama during the campaign and have worked as hard as I can to advance President Obama's legislative agenda, “ he said in the statement.
Today Reid also got a dose of bad news from the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The paper has a new poll where the Senate majority leader hits a new low. The senator is facing re-election in November. The poll quickly triggered speculation that Reid would pull a “Dodd,” or drop out of a race after facing losing a re-election bid. Reid quickly dismissed the rumors that he would not consider dropping out.
If Reid were to lose, it would be the second time in recent years that a Democratic majority leader failed to get re-elected. In 2004, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle lost his re-election bid in South Dakota. Prior to that, the feat of unseating a majority leader hadn't happened since 1952, when Arizona Republican Barry Goldwater beat Senate Majority Leader Ernest McFarland, D-Ariz"
Im not really seeing why he should apologize. Of course I am uneased by the way he equates (1) a darker black to being a more quintessential black and (2) being "throroughly" black and in power as detrimental. Im sure all of u have evaluated the validity of Obama being black while he was running but its was an ubiquitous understanding that he will represent the black race when he won. To see it pop up again nearly a year after he a has been in the office leaves Senator Majority leader Harry Reid subject to questioning. Is he a racist becuase he's one of the most powerful men in congress...id say no. It seems like he is on some Booker T. Washington ish; he's trying to calibrate/compromise Obama's blackness so that he will be more readily accepted rather given hell by the white leaders in politics as well. . . It is a racial Issue...but I think this a step towards compromise rather racial apprehension. (unless of course he had other statements in the book that supported a racist effort). With that, I done feel an Apology is necessary; if anything, the readers should apologize for misinterpreting his intent.
. . .However I have not read his book and there maybe some valid point I have missed from not reading it. However from this article this is how i feel. I shall read the book soon.
I need an alias...
I really want to start writing under an alias
No Duh!!
As I was working today, I realized the most obvious thing. This may seem stating the obvious to mot but I still feel it needs to be said once more. Quote me on this: The difference between smart people and dumb people lies between acceptance and wherewithal; the acceptance of things taken for granted and the wherewithal to meticulously question those things usually taken for granted.

Exposed.
So I sit here, disturbed by an abrupt flash of observation. I’ve come to the recognizance that I am the most misunderstood person you know. Before I begin on a rant, allow me to provide some assistance; if you don’t have the genuine desire to understand and build a bond with me, then spare yourself the waste of time by reading any further. Normally, this is one of those things I keep in the substance of my implosions. It helps me to enhance the value I have for those who do understand me. I am aware that Facebook and Blogger provide most with a “false representation” of me. As you attempt to decode my encryption by winnowing through my pictures, statuses, wall posts and amount of friends—as you exegete my posts, note the number of followers I have, judge my music and examine my profile—you reciprocate your intent. Instead of decoding my encryption, you encode your personalized hologram of me. As I dwindle in orbits on the platform you’ve built, you observe me then critique me. You observe then critique. You observe then critique but you never consider. Since I have provided you with the tools to build this imagery, I feel obliged to wear the mold. I become what you want me to be whilst perpetuating the label you have so graciously harnessed above my head.
In an attempt to denounce that dogma, I write this note addressed to you. I am the skateboarder. I am the car driver. I am the track runner. I am the lazy dude who eats everything. I am the nerd. I am the party animal. I am the crook. I am the angel. I am the atheist. I am the Christian, Jew, Muslim, or Buddhist. I am the rapper. I am the fan. I am the lecturer. I am the pupil. I am Jeffie. I am Kalos. I am who you say I am.
However, I encourage you not to use that premeditated label as an escort to my quintessence. This is encouragement not to use your clairvoyance and specious research as a taxi to your destination of my humble core. I’d rather you not bother to even run up a fare. Just wonder off in mystery among the routes to approach me. I will soon invest trust in you and walk you there myself. However, it is important for one to note that this destination is fragile. Be careful. Watch your step and handle it with care. Cherish and appreciate the ground you stand on because very few have gotten this far.
. . . This note is between you and me. Do not speak of this to anyone (me included). Harness this in your heart and rid any connections leading from your heart to mouth. Take care.
ooooh ladies. . .I need your opinion once more =)
It seems as if the age of being a gentleman is passing away. I am noticing that most women have this independent mindset that opposes being cared for as such—to an extent. My friend, Constance Ogletree, said being a gentleman is okay but it should be practiced in certain situations. My buddy, Ashia Lee, added that she wouldn’t like for a dude to order her food or open her car door unnecessarily. I’m assuming that as time grows and women begin to perpetuate this independent mindset, the need for gentleman like qualities will soon dissolve. Blogspot. . .How do you feel about that?
No wonder I liked my mothers soft touch
Growing up my mother told me I would marry someone just like her. I always thought she was self centered until I ran across the Oepidus Complex Theory. Sigmund Freud had my respect from the psychoanalytical theory. The Oepidus Complex theory was inspired by the Sophocles play, Oepidus Rex. That play modeled out the myth of greek god, Oepidus, who killed his father and married his mother. Fred explained that innocuous sexual acts, such as breast feeding and touching the penis during diaper change, triggers the psychosexual development. The son now has a propensity to have sexual encounters with his mom and detests his father because the father is having intimate relations with his mother. The child usually fulfills these fantasies in dreams, drawings or literary works. No wonder there are so many “Mama’s boys.” I’ll admit, he is right. I remember having these visuals of me screwing my mother and even my grandmother. I always told myself I was sick in the head and kept it in. I only dreamed of it though. I cant remember really wanting to kill my father until he and my mother divorced. I wanted to hang his balls on the flagpole because I had witnessed the hurt he brought to my mother. Sigmund goes up in favorite sociologists.
For females he proposed an inverted theory for females as well it’s called the “Reverse Opepidus Complex” or the Electra Complex

Tweet this sucka!
I recently read an article that supported my aversion towards twitter. The article read that Twitter makes you dumb and Facebook increase your intelligence. Facebook expands your memory whilst twitter shrinks it. Take that!
Imagine my dream coming true. .
I used to have this phantasm about being outta this world. Literally, I created an alter ego and called it marty. I wanted to be from Mars. I'm not sure if this is old news but last night I caught something that was rather corroborating to my past penchants. News is scientists are trying to make Mars an environment that Humans can live with. They are starting by trying to find a chemical that they can spread throughout the red clay on Mars to evaporate and heat up the atmosphere. They hypothesize that this heat increase will allow Mars to hold water. Once this is accomplished they will seek to find a way to get the soil to hold vegetation. . . I think this is so frickin cool!! I wish I would be able to live long enough to experience this.

Jealousy is misunderstood.
Theory of most break ups
You know where I think most relationships fall is; in the inability to recognize or reach equality. Relationships, whether you like it or not, is nothing more than a fight for superiority or equality. One of the two mates, if not both, are desperately seeking it. They'll spend the building of the relationship trying to find a balance that will give them equal statuses and never get there or they get there and cant see that its there. They feel that this "equality" is really its inferiority and hop right back into the rat race for the upper hand. [Insert Break Up Here]
Major [check]
I have just solidified my major: Accounting. Being a business lover, I only really wanted two things: Wealth and a Pretentious Corporate Status. Accounting is the basic business math. If I master the basics, the intricacies will be easier comprehend; thus, making the intricacies vulnerable to domination! With domination of this subject, Ill be able to have the best of both worlds. Here's my plan:
May I be your patient. . .
Frequent conversation leads to abundant frustration
Scarcity however leads to much appreciation
Too bad I was blinded by the sedation of her face and
Wanted to share engaging conversations
Loving that she’s the doctor dictatin’ and operatin’
But too blind to see all her other patients
Too stubborn to heed to persevering patience
It would have led to exploitation of true presentation
See baby girl was only in it for the gratification
But I had to hook her cuz all my boys though that I was fakin
So I played the game and was fouled really flagrant
But didn’t give a fuck, I was cravin’ for her fragrance
All I needed was plausible penetration…
To my oblivion. Would have been much appreciated
So now I sit in blithe seeking emancipation
From the anticipation to be another patient
Inspiration: The lyricism of the first two lines.[ lol] I haven’t written any poetry in a while; tell me if you guys catch the substance of it.
Parents Just Dont Understand
I sit…in the midst of misunderstanding and tyrannous parenting. It began with a demand for a chore to be done but grew into a sad cry for empathy. My mother stands at the top of the stairs, hair wild-- acting as a foreground to the dim lighting of the chandelier, as she repetitiously hitsmy younger cousin because he has yet to execute his expectations. He asks her calmly to refrain from hitting her as he slowly, yet with much confidence, walks down the flight of stairs that are covered in a supposedly pink carpet that has been turned into a dingy orange after years of abuse. As he places his left demonia boot on the last step, he is taken aback by the red and white water bottle that as just invaded his space and dignity. As he looks up to express his disgust for her immaturity, he is shocked to see two white tennis shoes and a green water bottle flying towards him. The imagery was synonymous to a caveman that has just disrupted a nocturnal flock of bats’ sleep in his quest for food. The only difference is this contemporary caveman is only in search of peace. As I hear this madness, I jump up frantically to guide my cousin into the kitchen that lay underneath the foot of my mother. Now in a quest for peace and safety, he is withholding himself from disrespecting and disrupting her madness while seeking a medium to calibrate his feeling of lonesome. I attempt to invest some words of encouragement in him until I was belligerently interrupted with the words “Stay out of this!”
“No! You’re wrong”
“I’m grown! Stay out of this or you can walk out that door!”
Silenced by the overused ultimatum, I found it quizzaciuously ironic that the same letters used to inflict superiority could be rearranged to exploit fault. This has just showed me that age and experience does not equate to prudence or intelligence. The situation did not have to be exacerbated to its level if both parties took the time to understand each other and seek out a win on both behalves. My mother felt that it was nothing more than quintessential lethargy for my cousin to be home all day and neglect to perform his chores. My cousin felt that my mother was insatiable to the quality of his work so being proactive was just double work if he usually has to redo them when she gets home. Maybe if these two would have expressed and understood opposite logics, that they would have enjoyed a win-win situation. My cousin would have found out exactly what my mother wants to be effectively proactive; my mother would have enjoyed the loyalty of my cousin’s obedience along with saving her the headache that comes with her frequent hysterics. However this is an impalpable imagery, because the two are intransigent in their ways.
On my behalf, I plead that “It must be a sign of maturity when you can exploit fault in your parent’s parenting.” Too bad, she thinks I “think I’m grown and know’ everything.” [Sigh]…frustration comes from frequent conversation but appreciation comes from scarcity. When will I ever get through to her though?
Its HAPPY New Year...let it be that.
Today is the first day of 2010. As i attempt to write this, flashbacks of the way I brought in New Years impeded my train of thought; I now know the difference between being drunk and drunk as fuck. I dont usually drink but last night I was drunk as fuck. I could barely stand, barely talk, and thought everything was funny as hell. I actually had fun drinking, but I cant get used to it. I remember most of it vividly but I wont make too many more memories.
