FRUSTRATED
Here studying for this USMLE exam and wondering, why am i doing it again? Giving Uncle Sam some more money so that he can tell me i'm qualified enough to apply basic medical principles to save a life, after studying numerous irrelevant facts. I think i'm just frustrated cuz i haven't had to study like this in a while and it's driving me crazy. The perfectionist in me can't accept getting answers wrong, but i just can't hold on to some of these things that i think i used to know many years ago.
Well right ya now is jus push thru mi ago push thru cah exam haffi do next friday, pass or fail. Might be better to fail cuz then i can do it over and get a better grade. Low pass nuh mek it. Once you pass it can't be repeated, and daz your grade for life. As u can see i am venting. Allow me to. What ya'll can do is say a lil prayer for me...cuz i for sure have been saying mine, as i am going insane.
You jus have to be the bigger person and prepare yourself for anything. Dreams of being a successful musician can fail in which case me an Uncle Sam might have to get close, and on his terms too...which means passing his 3 exams. So let's get at them one at a time. Maybe we can be friends, if i don't enter an asylum in the process.
Thanks for reading. Peace!

CHOLESTEROL
Heah bloggers, you can usually depend on me to write blogs kinda like a journalist, really about social commentary, or my random thoughts on some random thing. Most times we don't reveal anything personal about ourselves, and that i don't mind. But today i speak out of guilt about something important to all of you.
To just cut to the chase, I HAVE HIGH CHOLESTEROL (Clearly volunteering to be the poster boy huh...nah not really). Apparently familial, so there isn't much i can do about it. I was initially on diet and exercise, then placed on medication, which i've been on for years now. I have a family history of heart disease amongst some other fun stuff.
But I had KFC twice yesterday and a slice of pizza, and i figured i must confess to the world that if i had a heart attack yesterday it woulda been my fault. Haven't been exercising much lately. But heah i usually get it together.
Just thought you all should go get your cholesterol checked, cause you never know. And if you choose to not care to know, then cut back on oily foods and do some exercise. Live healthy, live right. Something will kill you one day i guess, and we all have a medical issue. The best we can do is try our best to keep it under control.
Nothing much else to say really. I'm doing this blog as punishment to myself. So back to the books. Peace.

The Hi5 Phenomenon
This blog has been long overdue, but i'm sure more now than ever you all can relate to some of these things, as it relates to Hi5.
When i had joined Hi5 it was just another one a dem forwards you get from your friend who wants you to try out this new website where u can link wid their friends. I had previously been on Friendster, which is actually quite similar...but Hi5 took the baton and ran wid it. When i joined Hi5, few person were on it at that time. Looking back i wonder why i joined a site that has the pet name for HIV (Hi5...see the similarity). May have been intentional...kinda like how HIV spreads rapidly, that's how contagious Hi5 will be. Back then i would have actually added like 1 or so persons that i didn't know. Can't say i do the same now...and we all know why we can't. I'll share with you some of my experiences and some that my friends have had.
1. Hi5 is great for seeing those friends you haven't seen in like forever, then all of a sudden you buck up on their picture and they're like married, or looking hot, or fat and pop-down. It all sounds wicked, but ya'll know these are some of the things dat go through your mind when you open these profiles...So Hi5, GOOD FOR REKINDLING OLD FRIENDSHIPS.
2. Hi5, for some a PLACE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE, and i mean really meet them. Like exchange numbers and go on dates and link up and whatever else people on Hi5 do. I've had my personally experiences in that department. I would say most have been good experiences. Some a little weird, but lets leave dat right there.
3. Hi5, a place to be STALKED. Can we say FREAKS! I've got so many request recently from persons i don't know, persons of the same and opposite sex, persons who I'd go to prison for if i even thought of adding them. This is where it's getting a little out of hand. It is called a friend request for a reason...the person should be your friend or at least an acquaintance. Please Hi5ers, i guess it doesn't hurt to try, but if you see dat 2 months have passed and you're not added, jus give up. Most people check their mail more than once in 2 months. Underage females, please be careful of what you're looking for....you might just get more than you bargained for. And young and old men exploring your sexuality...ahhm, stop taking shirtless pics, and stop trying to add me, and clearly if all your friends are male and have no shirts on as well...the rest can be left unsaid.
4. Hi5 a place to FAAAS! Faaas people neva coulda more happy, cah now dem can look pon dem fren and dem enemy page, and see which state dem in, and who dem friends is. If dem married or single, or if their friends are all shirtless, ugly or pretty. Den Hi5 go mek it so dat u can see who look pon your page. Well mi glad dem did do it, cah now mi know who faaasin inna mi business. All some people do a daytime is learn bout people pon hi5. Bad ting is dat you can disable dat feature, so now the faas people can still see your page an nobody don't know. Faas people, mind yu own. Well I really jus kiddin tho to some extent, as we all honestly use Hi5 to faas a lil. Dats the whole point of it, to see what other people are about. It does get pathological when you either spend the whole day doing it, or you keep checking the relationship status of persons to see when they become single (Like capital "L" on the forehead can i tell ya!)
I'm tired of typing now, but i could go on and on about this. Hi5 is not jus a place to meet people anymore. It's a science! I have learnt a lot. You can now play it like a game, and manipulate things to your advantage or disadvantage. Kinda scary if you tell me. But all in all i think the good from Hi5 has outweighed the bad for me. So at the end of the say and after all the freak messages and requests, BIG UP Hi5...you a di boss. LOL!
Here is where i should put my Hi5 link. LOL...if i were a freak, plus ya'll who readin this know it already. Peace.
