Music Inferences.

Well everybody this is kind of a boring post I apologize just get it in to your head it's all for my English class. So my teacher assigned us to pick a song and make inferences about what the artist might be trying to say, hmm... well I had to find a song so I chose the first one I heard on the radio that was appropriate, "Diddy-"Coming Home" FT. Skylar Grey." Next I had to look up the lyrics so I will post that then I will get on with my inferences!! WOOHOO!.... -_-

 
[Chorus]
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
tell the World I'm coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home, I'm coming home
tell the World that I'm coming


Back where I belong, yeah I never felt so strong
(I'm back baby)
I feel like there's nothing that I can't try
and if you with me put your hands high
(put your hands high)
If you ever lost a light before, this ones for you
and you, the dreams are for you


I hear "The Tears of a Clown"
I hate that song
I feel like they talking to me when it comes on
another day another Dawn
another Keisha, nice to meet ya, get the math I'm gone
what am I s'posed to do when the club lights come on
its easy to be Puff, its harder to be Sean
what if the twins ask why I aint marry their mom (why, damn!)
how do I respond?
what if my son stares with a face like my own
and says he wants to be like me when he's grown
shit! But I aint finished growing
another night the inevitible prolongs
another day another Dawn
just tell Taneka and Taresha I'll be better in the morn'
another lie that I carry on
I need to get back to the place I belong




[Chorus]




[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/coming-home-lyrics-dirty-money.html ]


[Verse 2]
"A house is Not a Home", I hate this song
is a house really a home when your loved ones are gone
and niggas got the nerve to blame you for it
and you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it
but you felt it and still feel it
and money can't make up for it or conceal it
but you deal with it and you keep ballin'
pour out some liquor, play ball and we keep ballin'
baby we've been living in sin 'cause we've been really in love
but we've been living as friends
so you've been a guest in your own home
it's time to make your house your home
pick up your phone, come on


[Chorus]


[Verse 3]
"Ain't No Stopping Us Now", I love that song
whenever it comes on it makes me feel strong
I thought I told y'all that we won't stop
we back cruising through Harlem, Viso blocks
it's what made me, saved me, drove me crazy
drove me away than embraced me
forgave me for all of my shortcomings
welcome to my homecoming
yeah it's been a long time coming
lot of fights, lot of scars, lot of bottles
lot of cars, lot of ups, lot of downs
made it back, lost my dog (I miss you BIG)
and here I stand, a better man! (a better man)
Thank you Lord (Thank you Lord)


[Chorus]


Whoa! that's a long song! alright everyone instead of making inferences about every flippin darn sentence I'm gonna' make this sweet and simple as possible. Take a look at the chorus It says "I'm coming home, I'm coming home" Could that be referring to heaven? I thought so at least because later in the chorus if you notice it says " I know my kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes" I'm thinking that they are really talking about heaven now Kingdom... forgiving of sins maybe???? yeah I think so!! And the third verse he's thanking the lord for making him a better man. so to sum things all up I think that He is telling his life story and that he wants his family and friends to be better than him. so it's a good song sorry it's not very long though hopefully you can understand what I'm saying I think you should so Listen to the video it will help and I will Blog to you all next time!

Name, happy, friends, family

      You know what I find very funny about this post? well my English teacher said not too give our names out on our blog, yet she assigned us a blog post about our name, kind of funny huh? Well at least I thought so.
      Well I looked up the meaning of my name, "Jason" and it means Healer. Pretty cool stuff in my opinion. The name comes from a Greek mythology, "Jason and the Argonauts" Jason was a hero, a warrior. So I think my name is pretty awesome, well at least it's origin and meaning.
      Enough about my name, well not really this whole post is suppose to be about my name but this is what people should think when they hear my name. So lets talk about stuff that makes me happy. Hmmm... well let's see... ummm.., No just kidding I know what makes me happy and that would have to be sports, video games, girls, jokes, and so on. Really anything can make me happy it just depends if I'm in the mood. Sports make me happy because I get to compete and be with friends. Video games make me happy because it gives me something to do when I am bored. Girls make me happy.... well I'm a guy and I like girls, live with it. I like jokes because they brighten my day. These are a few of my favorite things... to do that make me happy.
     Okay I know your probably wondering why I keep blabbing about random stuff, it's an assignment for English I have to do about my name. So I'm gonna' ramble  on just a little longer hold on. So the next subject is what my friends s think when they hear my name. First of all lets hope my friends really think of this when they here my name , cross your fingers. Well some of my friends might think of someone who is smart and wise and a leader... When truly I am dumber than a box of rocks. These are obviously not my best friends. Then I have other friends that think I am one big STUD MUFFIN. No I'm not kidding they really do........ NOT, I don't think any of my friends think that, I just wish they did. Okay enough joking time to tell the truth... hopefully. I think my friends think of me as a person to laugh with and get along with, make there boring day a bright fun day. That is truthfully what I think and hope my friends see me as.
    Sweet! this assignment is almost over. one last thing to talk about, bare with me please! This part is about what my family think when they hear my name. And what better way to see what family thinks then to ask them... So that's what I did I asked my family and now I am kind of regretting it. Just so you know I have four sisters all older than me, no brothers... so the answers weren't what I was looking for. Oh and if in case you were wondering here's what they said..... "Umm... Your really annoying, obnoxious, ignorant, A butt head, nerd, loser......" Yeah I felt loved today... I should have never of asked that question and just lied about how I thought my family saw me as... Oh I also forgot to mention that often times when my sisters get ticked at someone the first thing they yell is JASON!... then they correct themselves and say it's just a habit to the person they were getting mad at. so that is what my family thinks when they here my name =).  
     Well everyone it's been fun, not really but thanks for baring with me while I wrote this.
