2008: Year in Review (Freestyle)

It is some 31 days into 2009, and now I begin my New Year's post. I originally wanted to vlog to commemorate this momentous occasion but technical difficulties have impeded on my original plans. Since I don't really know how this post is going to work entirely, I'll simply go chronologically and probably give you a summary at the end.

Recently, I have been taking my tries at freestyling. So in order to make this post a little more interesting for you and me. The year in review today comes in rhyme form. Maybe the beat will help me jog my memory.

'08, I'm done with your shit.

This is the beat that made the rhyme, so give it time, and follow line by line.

Uhh. Yeah. Mmhmm.

Said, January not so merry
On my head to much to carry.
New Year's started this blog
In my head tried to clear the fog.
Slow start, no juice
Day by day, I started to loose-en.
Memories of the past, you know
Stick to me, they hold so fast, you know.
Haunting dreams, they hit down to the core.
Every night I asked for more and more.

February's just part 2
Listen here, I got more to do.
Mind still messin, from time before
Startin' to lessen, but I'm just not sure
What to expect to from the coming days-and I
Felt like I was in a haze.-But ya
Ya'll know me, same OG.
Rolling with the punches, 'til month number 3.

March, 3rd month of year
New number, same old fear.
Goodphil done come gone
If practiced more we could have won.
'member now, that month really sucked
Did my best but out I lucked.

4th month here gotta keep goin,
Hope these rhyme don't stop flowin.
Ha-Ha. Whoo-wee.
Ooh boy, it was clear to see.
That-my, theo-ry.
Was proven to me, from A to Z.
Straightened up, got out of the dirt
And continued my quest to find work.
But, to no avail,
Facepalm, boy did I fail.

End of the 'mester starts in May
Startin to 'member what I can say.
School was really kickin my ass
Strugglin', just trying to trying to pass.
From my phone, figured how to send pics,
To my blog, they're all up really quick.
Saw the last of old peeps graduate,
So happy, May '09 I can't wait.

But that wasn't coming soon,
So I had to say hello to June.
Summer started really slow,
ACC summer school sure blows.
PS3 keepin company,
Game came out called MSG.
Wait, no it was MGS-4.
I'd pop it in and I'd be less-bored.

July, owns my birthday
21, been coming long ways.
Day came, feelin little lonely,
Until I hooked up with my homies.
Tru-dy's, 6th-street
Drink specials you just couldn't beat.
Yo dog, I remember it all.
Any shots, I would call.
Official swerve, was finally here,
I think the first one was a beer.

August caused too much fuss.
Moved out was all of us.
I stayed with my friends,
Couldn't wait for it to end.
The fussin and fightin,
And cussin and cryin.
Living with these people I was dyin.
But it all ended pretty hip,
with Lifesize's internship.

Said, Do you remember
the 21st of September?
Ha. Ok, that's a song.
But how could I go wrong.
School was back in session,
And I have a confession.
When I first met her, she was off the chain,
Still can't get her out of my brain.

October, Halloween
Passed out at the worst scene.
Costume was a TV
Connected to a Ninty.
Don't believe? Just check Facebook,
There's a good one of me, you gotta look.
There's another of me passed out,
Worst timing made me wanna shout.

Almost done, I'm at Novemeber
Microsoft; could have been a contender.
Oh well, didn't go as planned
Maybe they were looking for a little less tanned.
My classes were hard to keep up
Coding everyday, I had enough.
Good grades, I had the key
'Til my prof kicked me down to a B.

December finally over
Some months and I still haven't told her.
The work was nice, it kept me ballin'
And wassup, my grades weren't fallin.

This whole thing was very Will Smith
Clean and simple, is easy to rhyme with.
I should end it with something deep,
But all that comes to mind is really cheap.
Year in review is what I came do,
Oh yeah, did I mention I chilled with So Real Cru?

Okay. Okay. Fuck that shit.
This is really gonna be it.
The flow is no mo' and before I go,
I wanna leave you on this note.
Accept the good, and roll with the bad.
Cause what you get or make is all you'll ever have.

PEACE!

Week Links: To hold you over.

I really am planning a nice year in review blog post. In the meanwhile, my links buffer is ready to be dumped so here we go again!

This makes me wish I took a cooler English course than the one at Austin Community College. I stole that link from my former roommate's blog.

And I'm taking this next one from my friend in the Dallas area.



Just replace lawyer, with programmer.

Here are some old school Guess Who? hax. I used to love at damn game. Never gets old.

I recently bought Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix for PSN (Johnny1156, look me up), and my twitter led me to some phat SF2 beatz.

Did you know the Philippines has recently made their first fully digitally animated film. It's called Dayo. I need some fansubbers on this ASAP.

Lasty, I'll leave you with some XKCD.


Heh, all too real.
