When it comes to saying a lot about little minor things in class Ms. Hodge takes the cake. She singles me out in front of the entire class for saying bad words even though everyone else says them just as much as I do. To be fair I do often shout the words out but I'm positive that I'm not the first kid to do that, and that's saying a lot. People don't know that I suffer from dyslexia and often cuss due to frustration. May I also add that making fun of dyslexic kids is not funny... Ms. Hodge. Anyway people who know me know that on average I can't go 2 sentences without using some type of profanity. Even when I'm playing sports I tend to openly cuss. Some call that bad. Other gangstas like myself call it fuckin real. Anyway I should not be called out everytime a conversation about cussing happens. I know I cuss and I don't think I'm gonna stop anytime soon just ask my rugby coaches and players on the team I cuss to or at daily.

Come on y'all let's take a ride
don't you say shit just get inside
It's time to take your ass on another kind of trip
cause you can't have the hop if you don't have the hip
grab your gat with the extra clip and,
close your eyes and hit the switch
We're going to a place where everybody kick it
kick it, kick it, yeah, that's the ticket
ain't no bloodin', ain't no crippin'
ain't no punk-ass nigga's set trippin'
everybody's got a stack and it ain't no crack
and it really don't matter if you're white or black, I
wanna take you there like the Staple Singers
put something in the tank and I know that I can bring ya
If you can't take the heat get yo' ass out the kitchen
we on a mission
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
slide slide slippity-slide
with switches on the block in a '65
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
slide slide who-ride
no valley low enough for mountain high

I'm tryin' to find a place where I can live my life and
maybe eat some steak with my beans and rice, a
place where my kids can play outside
without livin' in fear of a drive-by
and even if I get away from them drive-by killers
I still got to worry about those snitch-ass niggas
I keep on searchingc and I keep on looking
but niggas are the same from Watts to Brooklyn
I try to keep my faith in my people
but sometimes my people be acting like they evil
you don't understand about runnin' with a gang
cause you don't gang bang, and
you don't have to stand on the corner and slang
cause you got your own thang
you can't help me if you can't help yourself
you better make a left

Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
slide slide slippity-slide
I do what I do just to survive
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
slide slide who-ride
that's why I pack my .45

Life is a bitch and then you die
still tryin' to get a peace of the apple pie
every game ain't the same, cause the game still remains
don't it seem kinda strange, ain't a damn thing change
if you don't work then you don't eat
and only down-ass niggas can ride with me
hop-hop-hop your five quickly down the block
stay sucka-free and keep the busters off your jock
you gotta have heart son, if you wanna go,
watch this sweet chariot swing low
ain't nobody cryin'` ain't nobody dyin'
ain't nobody worried, everybody's tryin
nothin' from nothin' leaves nothin'
if you wanna have something, you better start frontin'
what ya gonna do when the 5 roll by
you better be ready, so you can ride

Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
slide slide slippity-slide
when you're living in a city it's do or die
Come along and ride on a fantastic voyage
slide slide who-ride
you better be ready when the 5 roll by
just roll along- that's what you do
just roll along- that's right
just roll along- that's what you do
just roll along- that's right
do you want to ride with me, do you want to ride with me
do you want to ride with me,do you want to ride with me
do you want to ride with me, do you want to ride with me
do you want to ride with me,do you want to ride with me.
This was quite an adventure huh?

Willie Ryley and I pitched our documentary to everyone and it went well, we got positive feedback and a few good ideas that we might be able to put in our film. My group really hasn't start working on our film yet because we've all been busy. It's just going to be me and Ryley working on the primary tasks because willie is leaving for Mexico. I think that well start rolling this weekend and begin filming shortly after.

My group is at the part where were starting to begin filming. The only thing we really need to complete is getting the "swaggalicious" outfit for the PSA.
What's been working well for us is our ideas and planning.
There aren't really any obstacles for our PSA.

I think my group is doing what it takes to make our PSA creative, we've made a few small changes to express the point of our PSA even more. After reading the article the only thing I might want to change is make a strong message at the start so the viewers don't spend the whole time thinking about what were trying to get out, also not to think its a commercial for anything. Our PSA is going to be effective because we have a strong original idea that should strongly get our message across.

What has been the most challenging part of the PSA project thus far?

- the most challenging part of our PSA project so far was drawing the storyboard for it because no one in our group including myself is good at drawing so having to draw something for 19 different boxes was pretty hard for us.

Overall, how did your groups pitch go, reflect and evaluate? Is your message of public/ community interest? Who is your target audience and how will your form/ style appeal to them?

- I would say that my groups pitch went well we got good feedback and a few ideas that will help better our PSA.
Our message is of public/ community interest because were informing them about stuff. Out target audience is tee s and young adults
