With this blog I'm going to get a tad bit personal because, well it is MY Blog.
I am thankful for all of my classmates in one way, but there are three classmates I'm especially thankful for. They are Derrick Rogan, Alexandre Hickerson, and Eric Pigram.
Derrick: He's my bestfriend and we don't have any classes together this year, well lunch anyway.
He has been there through it all & I love him muchoo. He's my other half (on some non lovey dovey ish), sometimes I wonder were we seperated at birth (even though he's older then me). He's the type of person who few can really understand and I was lucky enough to understand a little more then they do but stilll not fully. He's thee best of thee best. I'm so thankful for him for so many reasons, some that are way tooo much information for my philosophy blog. But, most of all because he still puts up with me even though I'm crazy, selfish, wacky as a three sided penny, and bipolar. He's an amazing bestfriend & my FP & BD. Anyway, he knows :)
Alexandre: He's my boyfriend & we share British Literature & lunch. This boy.....this boy is my bestfriend, soulmate, future husband, and my heart. He can put the smile on my face that he wiped off in a matter of five seconds. We have been connected by heart for two years and three months that have been the best two years and three months of my life. We can't stand each other because we are so much alike & I'm ever so grateful to him because he's the only person in the world I can be who I truly am plus whoever I wanna be and he'll still scream at me then turn around and hug me with. We both have anger management problems and we are both confused in life. We have been through the works & we are still standing strong. I love him unconditionally.
Eric: He's my BestestFrannn, and ugh I cannot stand him. We share Davinder's trig class. He is the most rude, wierd, abusive person but I love him tooooo death! He is a new wave in the ocean of Jameycia (lol idek) and he's always there for me & if I need to kill someone he would help me. He understands what the rest don't understand about me and he doesnt even speak of it, I can see it in his face and that's why he's my bestfrann. I can nag and complain about my life forever to him and he will just sit and listen and when I'm done he will make me laugh. He doesnt judge me and he doesnt make me feel alone, we get it crackin on Skype and he's the homie forever. I love you Bestfrannnnn <3
Well now I'm done spilling my life :)

Open letter to Cormac McCarthy...
Dear Mr. McCarthy,
I've recently read one of your books "The Road" and I can honestly say that I enjoyed the book. It was different and very enjoyable, I only wonder what life events and/or inspiration drove you to write a book like the road. The book was depressing and pesstimistic & I dont think my mind is capable of putting together a story as crazy as that. That shows me how passionate and dedicated you are about your work and I really respect that. I didn't like the book because I'm a depressing & pesstimistic person but I liked it because it's so realistic. I do believe that if we dont start to make a change with our world that is definently how we are all going to turn out. I wish you would have kinda lived longer though, I would have loved to read many more of your books like "The Road".
The movie they made based of "The Road" didnt do the book credit, which is almost always the case. When we read your autobiography in class you seemed like you lived your life to the fullest and that you were kinda wierd. Then again, arent we all?
Sincernly, Jameycia J. Jenkins

Direction the class needs? To the top is always best :)
I know this blog was due last week but I hate to leave things undone no matter when I get to them so here it is....
I think that the direction the class is currently in and gravitating towards is just fine. Truth is, Philosophy is almost my favorite class, it's so non-stressful and laid back. I think that Mr. McCarthy is a wonderful teacher and he does a fantastic job. Whenever I ask any of Mr. McCarthy's past students what did they think about him I get nothing but good reviews and now I can add my good review to future students. The class is exactly the reason why I took it, if that sounds right...
I love the material that we have covered so far, minus the text book which I would like to burn.
I think that the discussions that we have are interesting and thought provoking which I also love. No I don't talk much and that reason is because I'm not hte person to just say things, if I am going to talk it's going to have a good reason and it's going to have a purpose. This especially applies to a class like philosophy, I just love to sit back to listen to other peoples opinions to come to a common opinion of my own. But, by the time I do think of something the subject has changed and sometimes that is a tad bit frustrating. I believe this was mentioned by one of my fellow classmates also, overall I say again I love the class and it should keep going the way it is...

Defend the Poet! (Charles Bukowski)
To tell the truth I am kind of confused right now. I don't know exactly what to say or what to do to defend Mr. Bukowski. But I will surely try.....
The poem Dinosauria, We is quite the interesting poem indeed. Some might have found it disturbing, gross, and pesstimistic but I found it to be quite refreshing and perfectly realistic. It not only related to our reading material in class but in my opinion life. I strongly suspect that if we don't take these warnings of the direction of world is going more serious we will have no future. These signs have not just popped up either, they have been here and developed long ago before we were even thought of. Remember we estimated this poem to have been written maybe around the sixties?
It's true that maybe Mr. Bukowlski couldve been a tad bit delusional and maybe even a little off in some different ways but don't those people always tur nout to be the best writers. How can you efficiently write a piece of work about the sad and dreadful future of the world and your own world is all butterflies and flowers? So don't critize and make fun of Mr. Bukowski for having the ability in whatever state he was in to write Dinosauria,We because in actuality he was smarter than us all.....
When it all boils down, the truth is we are the ones that is going to ultimately kill ourselves, unintentional suicide. Our stubborn and one-sided attitudes on life a huge reason, something needs to be done and fast. As I love to say, "You can't have your cake and eat it too"...
