Drugs, Cheesecake, And Lindsay Lohan

I'm currently attending a summer program offered at my school.
Charles Drew University Of Medicine And Science.
Todays lesson was given by the teacher in the Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counseling Department. I'll fill you in with what I learned tomorrow.
Today is the Cheesecake Factory 30th Anniversary so they had $1.50 Cheesecake special.
It was my first time going and i ordered Spicy Chicken Taquitos and for dessert, Raspberry Lemon Cream Cheesecake. Ohhhh Fuuuucccckk.
I never say "hella" but that shiit was HELLLAA Gooood.
"I Know Who Killed Me" was actually a cool ass movie. Linday Lohan is A STRIPPER!! No Nudity though. I'm telling ya'll to go watch it. Netflix, Blockbuster, whatever. Watch it!

The Power Of A Dollar.

I've been steady working since 10th grade. (Finish Line, Kaiser Permanente, and Mervyns)
Having a cool little income ($150-$200) every two weeks is fine while you're in high school because what the fuck do you really need to buy? A chicken sandwhich at lunch? $10 Movie Ticket at the Long Beach Town Center? $140 pair of Jordans?
Man...Shit changes the day after you put that fresh ass High School Diploma on the wall in your living room.
Your parents aren't taking care of enrolling you in school anymore.
Your school isn't within walking distance anymore, so you gotta drive there.
And Gas is $4.45 a gallon.
I remember when Shit was easy. Like when I could go shopping and buy whatever was in a Large or size 9.
Now i've got a phone bill ($50) Internet bill ($40) Weekly Gas ($85) Credit Card Payment ($25)
Weekly Food ($30) Court Payment ($25) and "Lost Item" Payment ($40)
That's how it goes when you wake up the morning after Grad Night.
The best thing to do is keep your head up and remain optimistic, optimistic as fuck!
We will all learn the power of a dollar. And the earlier we learn it, the better.

Work To Do...

"Now what you gonna do stick your head in the sand
You probably the type to fall for anything and take that instead of a stand
Now that's a mouse instead of a man
I cherish my role as the head of my fam"
