<p>I AGREE, that 100 yard play justifies the salary cap for all sportsmen. They all owe thanks to Harrison for giving up his “breath” to save all and every athlete regardless of original sin.</p>
<p>I am humbled by your SKILLZ as well, you should throw down some lines in your interview; that might get you in.</p>
<p>i have no “skillz.” i’m just an ordinary guy – i am the one who is humbled by this undeserving praise.</p>
<p>waitn, that play does justify everything.</p>
<p>but yea, i told my interviewer i started a spoken word/hip hop/rap group which has sold over 3,000 albums in and around where i’m at. it’s true. he seemed mildly impressed – i was gonna throw it down, but my conscious said no. so i did not.</p>
<p>had i spat, i may have said this:</p>
<p>(to be continued, i can’t come up with anything at the moment).</p>
<p>That play was so ridiculous! And 3000 albums?! What the hell happened with all the cash? College apps? Lmao.</p>
<p>Good luck and good night guys. And one more thing, Benjamin Button was awesome.</p>
<p>Thats is impressive. Selling just 500 albums will do for me. Im not too detached from hip hop myself. Well recently I am detached, because I got addicted to trance/club music after going to Lebanon every summer (I am Lebanese). All the best DJs throw some big concerts there and all my friends that go to those concerts (more like clubbing) when there in Leb, eventually get addicted as well. Anyways, its hard to appreciate Hip Hop with all the crap on the radio nowadays. I only “like” a few rapper, such as Nas, Jay-Z (not anymore), DR DRE (best producer ever), common, and a few others. Biggie and Pac were good but overrated due to their murders. I absolutely hate Weezy (esp. when he starts squealing) and Kanye, and most modern day rappers. Anyways, I learned how to breakdance in Leb when I was still attached to Hip Hop. Eventaully, I got up to intermediate breakdancing moves. Once I learned how to do windmills, I stopped learning new moves,and tried to maintain my current talent. Maybe, in college I will join some club and start breakdancing again? Anyways, I probably could have won some talent shows etc. to put on my college app but there just weren’t any at my school etc. :(.</p>
<p>But the 3000 albums thing is something I would have brought up. Things like that, differentiate you from most applicants (even though it might not impressive the interviewer too much). I know if I were an interviewer, something like that would stand out among such awards/accomplishments: “I am pres. of my school, I had gold medals on the NLE, I am an AP scholar, I am a national merit scholar, I started a community service activity at my school blahblahblah”) Not saying you dont need those “typical” accomplishments but talent based accomplishments are passionate achievements not just “I am doing this to get into college” achievements.</p>
<p>i am 1/2 lebanese. thats crazy. i never anticipated making contact with another lebanese person lol. ive never visited, though ive heard it’s gorgeous.</p>
<p>Yea it is. The people are great, the food is great, and the night life is also great. My college essay was about how I came to appreciate the country even though I got stuck there during the 2006 War, and how I regretted leaving the country via evacuation. If you watch Lost, its kind of like that “we have to go back” mentality. But anyways, Beirut was ranked the #1 place to visit in the 2009.</p>
<p>beirut is gorgeous – i visited once on a trip through the mid. east. and i can break dance, too! we definitely are in the harvard breakers next year, man.</p>
<p>yea, he seemed decent when i told him about the albums thing but w/e. dude man, i’m still wrapping my mind about harvard breakers now – you me, windmill, flare, etc. and yes, a lot of our current day rappers are extremely poor. there are only a handfew like talib kweli, mos def, eminem, nas, and a few other chaps who are in this game because of the game itself, not to please their audience’s and become sellouts. and absolutely – dr. dre is the best producer of all times, and detox is coming out possibly this/next year after like a eight year delay.</p>
<p>oh lawd. that will be so epic.</p>
<p>I’ve never understood that position on sexism.
I mean, you can make the argument that “Yes…finding a woman attractive is reducing her to sexual function”</p>
<p>But that’s a terrible argument, because the physical appearance of any person is the first thing you see when you look at them, and the idea that sexuality is to be guarded and hidden away is a Victorian ideal that comes from the idea of a woman being her husband’s sexual property (i.e. no premarital bow chicka wowow)</p>
<p>Hooray for hot chicks, I say.</p>
<p>I am going to every Harvard Breakers event next year. If I get in. (Sigh).</p>
<p>harvard freestyle #3</p>
<p>ready to tackle any obstacle, i was looking fresh in the suit. my interviewer would be with me shortly – i was hoping she wouldn’t be a girl looking cute. was i to get up and salute the person or remain mute in my chair? was this place running out of air? oh gosh, there she – no, he – comes. auburn hair, harvard millionaire. before i began to despair i tossed up a quick prayer and stood prepared to declare my passion for his college.</p>
<p>he acknowledged i was looking nice. he enticed me more and more and said nothing less than harvard would suffice for this guy with practically no vices. the price was right – financial aide would allow me to get the fried rice with the general tsao’s.</p>
<p>“so what do you do? any honors, awards, or military decorations? is there something neat you didn’t list in your application? and how would you rate your education? your dad make a donation to the harvard foundation? no? well, i see you are someone from an underrepresented population. wait, did you just say ‘masturbation?’”</p>
<p>and now i look up, i have no other choice. i start spitting some lines in my silky voice. he hoists my file into the air and rejoices. he tears up my papers, lights up a joint; not to disappoint i take a puff and we fly high with the vapors. </p>
<p>he says “you’re the best man,” i say i got a request, man. i’m a depressed, obsessed, and stressed man; i need to get into harvard like heaven needs to let in the blessed man.</p>
<p>“i got you. you’ll get in if you take another hit of this J.”</p>
<p>ok. i took a drag and now i just hope and pray. i swear if i get in, i’ll move that guy chronic everyday.</p>
<p>after i cope with that dope, i shout out to my peeps squaregirl and c-hope. now umma check into the amc cinemas and see bj button or a rerun of shrek. but i just ran a mile so i look like a wreck. so instead of leaving right now, i’ll just stay here waitn. writing rhymes on cc and debatin’ with myself whether or not i’ll get that crimson degree.</p>
<p>sigh.</p>
<p>peace + love.</p>
<p>-tp of cc</p>
<p>Wow. You are just amazing ;)</p>
<p>I stand in awe.</p>
<p>I’m impressed, TP. I have my H interview tommorow, yay!</p>
<p>many good lucks sent your way! don’t stress at all – you seem confident so i know you probably won’t screw this up. it will be good.</p>
<p>Yea I would love to start (if there already isnt ) a breakers club at H; but the thing is, I highly doubt I can get in. However, if we both happen to receive acceptances (god willing), then I am definetly up for the task. Anyways, what other colleges didyou apply to? The only top ten/Ivvies I applied to were Harvard and Duke (probably get in here).</p>
<p>everywhere, man. all ivies except for columbia and princeton. gtown. rice. lehigh. things don’t look to promising, but out of all the republicans i like mike huckabee. because he believed in miracles. feed us a miracle.</p>
<p>but yea, man. the harvard breakers (an existing club) are so good. if we don’t get in, we can always start another group – “the fresh crimson” or something weak like that, lol.</p>
<p>“so instead of leaving right now, i’ll just stay here waitn.”</p>
<p>did you pick up on that shoutout, man?</p>
<p>Damn…way to be able to rhyme…all the…time…</p>
<p>God, I don’t know why I even tried. (I think my ancestors just cried…)</p>
<p>Okay, yeah…not cut out for that.</p>
