Straight outta Compton is where I’m coming from. I am Hercules the son of Zeus. I want to change the world and make it more enjoyable for everybody. What a better place to start than Compton, California? Compton is flooded with drugs, and harmful substances that could possible kill. On a weekday I went to go and try to stop the drug dealing, but that just ended up into a little war. Little did I know that I don’t know much about war. I needed help from some people that do, like Aries, and my father Zeus. They are the ones that know something about it. I know they are the ones to count on when it becomes the time when I need them most. Suge knight is the gang that I am going through a war with. The war hasn’t really begin, like there hasn’t been any conflict at the moment. Before I could even start thinking about the war I had to get ready. I had to get “strapped.” After that we came up with an alias for our posse. G.W.A, Gods With Attitude. After that little ego, and confidence boost I knew I was ready to battle with Suge Knight. …show more content…
We went to what it looked like was a vacant warehouse that Suge Knight had ordered us to meet at. I walked in all alone and there they were. Standing right in my peripheral vision they pointed their guns at me. Zeus and Aris said to one another “ oh no, we’ve gotta get help, QUICK.” I was being taken to a torture room, while Zeus, and Aris were out there safe and sound. I thought I was going to die in there and that I would done no good to getting the “stuff” off of the streets. Little did I know that Zeus and Aris were going to get help from other
On January 22, 2017 at Lower Macungie Community Center gym two Lower Macungie Youth Association (LMYA) were playing against each other. They were playing basketball. No team was getting demolished.
In the San Juan heat of 1984, coaching legend Bobby Knight became infamous for his assault on a Puerto Rican security guard over a practice time during the Olympic preliminaries (Biography 2). Headlines of one of the most famous college basketball coaches of all time haven’t come to an end since. The veteran coach from the state of Ohio has since thrown a chair across a gym floor, been video taped choking a player, and assaulted school employees and fellow students on the campus of Indiana. He has been in heated arguments with anyone from school presidents to the media after heart breaking losses. Scrutiny and controversy have followed Bobby Knight ever since he brought his disciplined style of basketball to the scene
Bobby Knight, longtime Indiana men’s head basketball coach, was recently fired. This firing sparked a controversy among basketball fans throughout the nation; did he deserve to be fired? I believe that Bobby Knight deserved to be fired. Although coach Knight is one of the best coaches in the nation and has earned the respect of countless numbers of fans including myself, I do not believe that a coach should be able to act the way he acted and get away with it. Coach Knight’s record for abusing players, abusing the media, and being a jerk should speak for itself and there is no doubt in my mind that Bobby Knights firing can be justified.
Tonight, the Atlanta Falcons will take on the Miami Dolphins in the third preseason game of the year. It has become an NFL tradition to designate the third preseason game as a dress rehearsal for the starting players. So tonight, expect the Dolphins and Falcons starters to play for at least the first half.
2016 was the year that the craziest free agency signing happened in NBA history. Kevin Durant decided to join the Golden State Warriors. This is the team that had just broke the record for most wins in a season and after that season they add the second-best player in the NBA. His decision to sign with them put a huge target on his back, because a lot of NBA fans including myself considered the move weak. Some fans even said that it was the same thing LeBron did in 2010; leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers to sign with the Miami Heat. There are a few things that are similar between the two, but I completely disagree with the people who think that it’s the same. Kevin Durant signing with the Warriors is worse than LeBron signing with the Heat.
Their solution was to incarcerate, before they could see it wasn’t me, Or was it? I can’t remember because when it happened, I felt like another person All of these personalities make me scream, Who am I supposed to be? A man with strife?
For my report, I chose to summarize how Brian Helgeland’s movie “A Knight’s Tale” (2001) draws its medieval themes and story from Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales: The Knight’s Tale”. Besides the nearly identical titles of these works and the moderately similar storyline, it can be further proven that “A Knight’s Tale” is an adaption of “The Knight’s Tale” because Geoffrey Chaucer appears as a character himself—and a vital one at that—in the movie. Furthermore, just to make certain that there is no mistake among the viewers about who they are dealing with, Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) even refers to himself as a writer in the movie and points out his very first own work “The Book of the Duchess” in disbelief when some peasants don’t
Robert stated he was at work & it was very hard to hear him in the background. I inquired to Robert Knight about the details of the card transactions & him making bail that day. Robert Knight stated he didn’t know where the cash came from exactly, but believed it to have ‘come from grandpa’s card.’ Robert Knight stated when he was released from the jail on 21Feb17 he did use that card at Walmart & then gave it back to Robert Bremel, and reimbursed him for the transactions he completed.
It is 12 am and my team and I are playing against the Golden State Warriors.
The first guy I ever developed a crush on was Jordan Knight from New Kids on the Block. Don’t laugh, they were all the rage when I was 7 years old. I had NKOTB toys, cassettes, sheets and pillowcases, even t-shirts. I was a fanatic. I still enjoy listening to some of their songs, even now, my 33 years of age be damned. If I ever had a chance to meet him, I don’t know if I’d tell him I had a crush on him when I was 7 years old, that might gross him out. I’d probably say hello, ask for an autograph, and tell him I think Step By Step is still one totally radical
My objective is to apply for a lead knighthood position or any other combat position that would combine the use of my skills, talents and previous experience to better protect not only the city of Camelot, but also the nearby cities.
With my recent launch of the Black Men Lead Initiative, it may easy for some to postulate that I have it all together as a black man. It might be part of a natural and logical progression to establish the belief that I have excelled in the area of being a strong, engaged and infallible black man. However, your speculations and assumptions would be inaccurate. Although I consider myself to be the quintessential black man, I am far from perfect. I have failed on many occasions, by the world’s standard of failure.
In Edward P. Wimberly book Recalling Our Own Stories; he touches on many Mythologies that I can relate to; especially the myth, “of the Knight in Shining Armor”. From as earlier as could remember until my pre-teens my dad was my “Knight in Shining Armor” until he and my mother’s relationship took a turn for the worst. I thought my dad was perfect, until he suddenly became unfamiliar due to cheating between him and my mother. My dad was always very fun and outgoing; he was full of culture, and a great musician. He was 6’5, and my sibling and I personal playground. I have never heard my dad raise his voice at my mother or hit her, even when they were having issues. Before he became very distant, he was always very affectation towards my mom,
For a majority of people in the world, if they were to wake up with 350 million dollars, and would be able to be fully retired by 38 years old, then they would be very content and happy with their lives. Being able to wake up every day in a big mansion, lying with your family by the poolside, not worrying about financial issues for yourself or loved ones, and lastly having the great opportunity for you and your whole family, to not work a day the rest of your lives. It is an ideal situation that approximately 99.99% of people would want. But, an outlier, challenges those astonishing odds, by using their influence and popularity, to help out and make a difference. Not
