It was my decision to get clean, I did it for me
Admittedly I probably did it subliminally for you
So I could come back a brand new me, you helped see me through
And don't even realise what you did, believe me you
I been through the ringer, but they can do little to the middle finger
I think I got a tear in my eye, I feel like the king of
My World, haters can make like bees with no stingers, and drop dead
No more beef flingers, no more drama from now on, I promise

To focus solely on handling my responsibility's as a father
So I solemnly swear to always treat this roof like my daughters and raise it
You couldn't lift a single shingle on it
Cause the way I feel, I'm strong enough to go to the club
Or the corner pub and lift the whole liquor counter up
Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon
But I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing

November 28, 2012 in class we talked more about our new projects then went to the library to learn how to find books, and to find the books we need for our project. In my group I have Brandon and Ryan, for the project we are going to talk about D-Day during World War II. How the technology, airborne, and a certain battle changed the whole war. Finding the books wasn't too hard, although what makes it hard is when people move the books from where they should be, and then finding a book turns into hard work. Other than the library we really didn't do much in class today.

Have you ever loved someone so much, you'd give an arm for?
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for?
When they know they're your heart
And you know you were their armour
And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm 'her
But what happens when karma, turns right around and bites you?
And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of her pain?
"Daddy look what I made", Dad's gotta go catch a plane
"Daddy where's Mommy? I can't find Mommy where is she?"
I don't know go play Hailie, baby, your Daddy's busy
Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gonna write itself
I'll give you one underdog then you gotta swing by yourself
Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her
And put hands on her mother, who's a spitting image of her
That's Slim Shady, yeah baby, Slim Shady's crazy
Shady made me, but tonight Shady's rocka-by-baby...

Class on Wednesday, November 7, we first went over our rough drafts that we turned last week.  I was glad that we got them because I really wanted to see how I did on this paper. When looking at the comments I realized I had a lot to work on. Then we went into the fairy tales, that were due and we had a neighbor read them and right down if we had everything. Then we started watching the movie twilight and the show vampire diaries. The movie and show are really popular so I have heard of them before but being a guy I really don’t like them all that much.

Wednesday, October 31^st, we came into class with our two page rough drafts done, for our research paper. We split into groups of five, to discuss and read each other’s paper, and give our feedback on them. After, I looked at the comments the readers made about my paper. When looking at the responses I realized that my paper need some work. My thesis is unclear, and my argument wasn't really told. I these group things that we do because it helps find more of my errors, before turning in my paper to be graded, but other than those problems, the paper over all was alright.

We touch, I feel a rush, we clutch, it isn't much
But it's enough to make me wonder what's in store for us
It's lust, it's torturous, you must be a sorceress, cuz you just
Did the impossible; gained my trust, don't play games it'll be dangerous
If you fuck me over, cuz if I get burnt
Ima show you what it's like to hurt
Cuz I been treated like dirt before ya
And love is evol, spell it backwards I'll show ya (evil)
Nobody knows me, I'm cold, walk down this road all alone
It's no one's fault but my own. it's the path I've chosen to go
Frozen as snow, I show no emotion whatsoever so
Don't ask me why I have no love for these mo'fuckin' hoes
Blood suckin' succubuses, what the fuck is up with this
I've tried in this department but I ain't have no luck with this
It sucks, but it's exactly what I thought it would be like tryna start over
I got a hole in my heart, some kind of emotional roller coaster
Something I won't go till you toy with my emotions so it's over
It's like an explosion, everytime I hold ya I wasn't joking when I told ya
You take my breath away, you're a supernova, and Imma...

We didn’t have class on Wednesday, October 24, instead we had a conference discussing the thesis and sources we were using in our research paper. When discussing my sources it was clear that I was doing them and researching them correctly. Although doing my research before my thesis statement, which really screwed up my interpretation of the song. But my sources were reliable; I had to figure out how to do my thesis statement, without using anything that I had gotten from the research. The meeting overall was good, and I think we should do more of them, when writing our papers.

Thesis Statement

The film “8 mile,” is about a white boy, named Marshall Mather’s, just wants to be a big known rapper. It’s hard to do in the heart of Detroit, MI, where he grew up right off 8 mile road. For him to get to the top in the music industry, you have to start at the bottom, doing small rap battles. Marshall gets the name “Rabbit” from others he hangs around, and at the end of the movie he goes off on his own, becomes famous, working with Dr. Dre, and becoming known as “Eminem.”  Although what motivated him to become who is, how did the people he hanged around affect his life, and how does Hallie affect his life as well?

Class on Wednesday was really busy and crazy, due to the fact that class was canceled last Tuesday. We started with a mini pop quiz about the article and blog we had to read, based on the movie “Carrie.” I did well, I guess, I really didn’t read the article, I skimmed it, just because it was so long. Then we talk more about them after the quiz, then talked about a group assignment, then assigned it, and then we told it was due next Monday. I didn’t really like that due to the fact we trying to cram stuff in because of class being canceled Tuesday.
