I am currently the black man in his mama's basement. And although I've only been so for a few months (since April), it feels like a long time. I used to teach high school, and was actually pretty good. I'm a good guy. I did a good deed by being a good teacher. But, the administration was evil. So since not renewing my contract back in 2001, I've had absoulutely no balance, which has actually forced me to put a few things in perspective.
One: I need a job like yesterday, man. I have until September one to find a new job, afterwhich, shit gets really interesting.
Two: I need to go to grad school, but then again, I don't have a job so that means I don't have the money.
Two(a): I need a job so I can get into grad school.
Two(b): I need a job to get my own damn place, I miss my frickin independence.
Tres: I need some medical benifits. I never really get sick, but wouldn't you know I start having "complications" once I am out of work?
Anyways, this site still needs work...
Random Vent #24- If I have to look @ 1 more wack LP or EP cover from a local artist that knows I do graphic design, I'm going to scream. The inside could be gold, but nobody will ever know because the outside looks like shit!

Question. Ya'll remember when everybody got all upset because J. Lo used the word "nigga" in the "I'm Real" remix? Does that mean that Fat Joe can't use that word either? Or does it mean that if your a pop star, and not a hip hop artist you can't use it? Or...does it mean they just won't say anything to Fat Joe because he could possibly punch them in their fuckin' jaw?
And with everyone shortening their name now for legal reasons, growing up, or to have a more memorable name (Bow Wow, P Diddy, J. Lo), does that mean I need to follow suit? I have a really long fuckin' name, even when it's abbreviated:
H. J. Lee Bennett, III
Am I doomed artisticlly without a catchy name?!
