Sex Registry Forbids Kells To Enter School Zone, He Rebels

I just returned from visiting my sister's private school where the students of her class did a presentation on the Colonial Period (1700s). Every student was assigned a different work station where they explained what their duties would of been in the Colonial period. Some of my favorite stations included the bakery, the bar, and the classroom station. Ironically my sister was the teacher of the classroom station. She was very mean, very articulate, and taught chapters from the Bible just as teachers would of did in the Colonial period. One of the students continued to make outburst in the classroom, and was sent to the corner of the classroom where he was told to face the wall while wearing a sign that read "idle boy." It was definitely eye opening to see my little sister take part in disciplining someone that was 4 times her age. All in all I had a good time.

...Speaking of good time there was some little girl playing in the classroom pond that caught my eye. While talking to her she kept trying persuade me to touch the classroom turtle. There was no way that was gonna happen, especially after the turtle tried to bite her several times. Kids are crazy! Below is some video of my experience with her.


Joshua Packwood recently made history when he became the 1st white valedictorian to graduate from Morehouse College. "A large majority of my friends, like all my girlfriends have been minorities," says Packwood. "So it was kind of strange that I always kind of gravitated to the black community." Unfortunately for Packwood the road to making history wasn't easy. According to Packwood many of his classmates didn't agree of him attending the all black male school for reasons unknown. However it didn't slow him down once, and on May 18th he'll be given his degree. Congratulations.

...Wow that's amazing, a white valedictorian of an all black school? Just imagine how his baby is gonna look.

I'm looking for a new dog as a pet, my options are slim because I don't have a lot of time to walk the dog. I found this Pomeranian that's adorable.

I understand it's prom season. Yes that's right, it's the season of disaster.

Ladies once again, less is more! Stop begging for attention.

Final Thought: The main reason I'm so diverse is because I've had to adapt to several different social settings for every school I've attended since I was 4. Unlike most people I've attended 3 different school settings. What do I mean? Well for example....I started out in private school (5% black), went to public school (90% black), and even attended Catholic school (100% male). With that said I was force to make several transitions that would adapt to the behavior of students in all 3 school settings. In private school I learned how to adapt to people of different ethnic and social statuses. I was easily the poorest kid in my class, let alone school. I remember attending childhood parties and being in total disbelief because the kids rooms were the size of me and my mother's 2 bedroom apartment. When I got to public school I learned survival. Kids were cruel, gang affiliated, and did mischievous things I never thought about prior to public school. Catholic school taught me discipline. If I acted up, I could be physically punished as well as sent to the lunch room to cook for fellow classmates. Anyone with a similar experience knows those 3 settings are NOTHING alike. It's definitely something you would have to experience to know anything about. Looking back at it I really appreciate those experiences now - it's now a strong reflection of my personality and how I can adapt to different environments when socially tested.

I understand completely where you're coming from with your various adaptations. I went from going to school in Guam (military brat) where everyone was nice & laid back to a school outside of Memphis that completely tested my innocence. I was always accused of "talking white" & made fun of for dressing different. When I was about to leave Memphis to move to Florida, some kid had the audacity to tell me I HAD to let him "hit it" so i wouldn't move a virgin!! Mind you, I was only in 6th grade.

Tampa: That's pretty intense for a 6th grader. Sex wasn't even on my mind in 6th grade....I was more so concerned with 10 speed bikes, and grape suckers. I'm telling ya...those were the good ol days.
