  • What Have I Done?

    You know that feeling you get after you sit around and entire summer and you notice that just in few weeks from now you got school? It sucks. What makes this situation odd is that I am viewing this as if I am still in high school and its mandatory for me to go. 

    Guess what?

    I’m CHOOSING to go! I honestly don’t have to put myself through this but I gotta keep my Amazon Student Prime Account, lol! No seriously, I’m sitting on my back porch right now pondering how my summer has been. This summer literally flew by! It’s saddening but I’ve realized it’s like this every summer. 

    Each summer that comes around quickly disappears into the sunset. Then winter comes with large amounts of snow and a warm coffee shop for me to sit my ass down in. This little rant doesn’t come back down to me not having a life, but the life that I live. I always do this, sit around at the end of summer vacation wondering what I’ve done these past two months. I hit the rewind button and press play and what I see never disappoints. 

    It’s been a good vacation, one that I can sit back and play some good tunes that will remind me of those adventurous days. I’m not sure when school starts, nor have I signed up for classes, but I’ll tell you this; FALL IS COMING!

    Now it may be a little to early to scream that one out but I love fall and all of the enjoyment is brings. I’ll be 22 in November and my mixtape is still on the way. How about that? Lol

    After discovering his mixtape in 2012, Big K.R.I.T. has managed to find extra storage space on all my mobile or desktop devices. From the soothing saxophone that starts off Boobie Miles, to the gritty southern trap beat that  stomps around King Of The South, KRIT has never failed to amaze me. His self produced songs and amazing lyricism puts him in my top list of favorite MCs. After almost 3 years, I actually got to see him live in concert at ForeCastle 2015 was the most heart warming thing ever. The power that music has can really change a person.

    The energy at his show was impeccable. With fans and I jumping all over the place we really created some good vibes. The most I remember from the show was the thumping bass shaking the ground and Young Krizzle jumping all over the stage getting the crowd hype!!!


    I’ve been to two concerts this year and one music festival and Big KRIT performing at ForeCastle had to have been the best show!

    Ps. I almost cried tears of joy when he played his last song Mt Olympus and signed off stage.

    Awwwe, Well Happy Anniversary to me!!!

    WordPress sent me a notification telling me that 6 years ago today is when I created this blog. Surprisingly I remember the day I actually made this little piece of shit site. Keep in mind that I got like 20 other wordpress sites so I may be confusing the beginning of another site with this one’s, but lets just say I was thinking very creatively that day. All I wanted to do was put together a site that allowed me to write about whatever I had going on in my life and it would simply just match the name.

    After a long 10 minutes of thinking (I had no patience then), the name Exploding Rock came into my head. I believe I was a junior in high school, or at least going into that year. Since that historical moment I have been “practicing” my writing. I say it like this because over time you see me slowly develop into a “good writer”. I’m not the best and am I nowhere near a professional, all though I do tell myself I’m the greatest.

    I’m still trying to get over my “is’s”, “its”, and passive words, but that just comes from me not blogging as much as I should. Besides that, here we are 6 years later and still going at it with my post about life, poetry, and just much more nonsense that comes out of my brain.

    Thanks for being a reader! Keeping Tuning in for more stuff that has nothing to do with rocks!

  • College Talk

    So lately as I bash college more and more, I’ve had two people preach to me about the importance of college. The first was my new fulltime supervisor at work who acts as if he drank an entire pot of coffee before coming in. He stressed to me how much he wants nothing more than to see all of us leave UPS with a piece of paper (referring to a degree of course) because it holds that much value. I couldn’t help but tell myself that while he’s telling me all of this, that fancy Apple Watch he kept glancing at was from a company founded by a college dropout.

    As the fine young gentleman I am, I politely listened and pondered later what he told me. I’ve convinced myself college isn’t for me. Yes the college life is cool but having to go through the course’s is what I hate. I know I know, its like that for everyone but in my situation I feel that this isn’t for me. I’m going to put my mind and body through all of this strenuous effort to get a degree that will only help me get my “pinky toe” into the door as my buddy Daimont would say.

    The more I ponder my presents in post secondary education, the more I get the “College Talk.” Just today as my mother and I were paying for the brand new tires on our car, the lead mechanic gave me a similar speech about college. I don’t know if its just me but I think theres some force that is trying to keep me in college. I don’t understand why because I have such radical views towards college.

    I haven’t quit yet and I’m digging the perks of being student. But going back to my College discussion, I honestly think the only way to make it in life is if you start a business. Now I know, the first thought that comes to mind is that you need to go to school. Yes that is an option but what most people don’t realize is that there are seminars and classes nation wide that is similar to college course’s. You’ll be out of $800 but in the long run you will be able to obtain the knowledge needed to run and operate a business.

    Whatever it is I’m trying to do, I need to figure it out quick because I am 21 and I’ll be 30 before we all know it.

  • Coffee Shop Daysss number…?

    Well here I am once again in my favorite shop Heine Bros. Got my cup of tea steeping and some sandwich I picked up from the freezer. It’s a mellow day… Yes a mellow day and if you were expecting me to talk dirt trash about the people I see in here you a WRONG!

    Okay maybe I lied a little, but there’s this…. Hahaha nah I won’t even say it. But man I miss coming in here for my weekly cup of tea. Like I was telling my buddy Thomas that works at the register, I got sick about a month ago and just stayed in the hood for a few weeks. Then when I got better the break booster went out on my moms car so driving was a disaster.

    Now that everything is back in place in trying to get back on my daily routines like going to my favorite coffee shop more often. The past two or three times I have been showing up I’ve seen some new faces. I usually get nervous when I see new people because I don’t know them but it just opens up a new opportunity to meet new people.

    My tea and sandwich have arrived so I’m going to delve into the goods. Have a nice day word pressers or random internet trollers!

  • Oh yeahhh

    So I figured that I would download the WordPress app onto my phone for more easier posting. Never thought it would look this good! Mwhaha! The visual editor is on point! Here’s a cool picture because I’m out!

      

  • My Thoughts About School

    Post secondary education is a way the government exploits families by telling them that if you go to school you can get a better job and get a piece of the American pie. What they don’t tell you is that its all lies and they just want you’re money. How sad right?

    Did I mention that when you go to college you are just learning one thing (unless you double major) that prepares you for a job? A job where you work for someone and you are not the boss. See I told someone at work about this and they looked at me as if I was crazy and said that you need college to live a better life.

    Well… yes and no. See I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household with a father that has an entrepreneurs mind set. He also warned me about the work force and how they will treat you. So far I’ve been treated like shit and I don’t like it.

    Now I know everyone can’t just go into business because you are still going to need people to work for you and if everyone was a businessman/woman than you wouldn’t have a workforce. It gets a little more complex than that little flimsy example I gave but the point is, College is BS and money is a lie.

  • Anatomy

    Guess what guys? I’ve finally paid off my mac! (Hoorayy!) Now to get down to business.

    Its July 12th and its safe to say that the summer is almost over. I’ve already pictured it. July will fly by like all the other months and before we know school will be back in session and trying to type up a paper will be the hardest thing to do since the invention of mechanical pencils.

    But last night I was rolling the the city with my homie Brandon and I began to think to myself. “What have I done all this summer?” The question was starting to make me think that I wasted my entire summer and that I didn’t get enough skating in. As we rode around, specifically out on Bardstown rd, I realized that I really didn’t waste my summer at all. Its was pretty eventful. I spent a lot of time with the homies, wrote a lot of cool songs, skated a lot on the days it didn’t rain, learned switch tricks, and even made some awesome new friends.

    The ideal summer that I had in mind before listing all of that was to just skate in Newburg and read books. Well guess what? I even did that too. I remember the summer prior to this one it was one of those “getting back to your roots” type ordeal. I had just got out of my first relationship, so actually getting to do what I want was something new and fascinating to me. I discovered my inner self and who I really was as I skated and listened to music. Fast forward to now I’ve done a lot more soul searching and a lot more tree blowing and have enjoyed it. I haven’t just had fun but have learned a lot.

    Oh and remember my early life crisis? Well last night I made another realization that in just 3 and 1/2 months I’ll be 22. A scary number in my eyes but its what has the ball rolling and encouraging me to do more with my life and to live out all of my dreams. Just wait, you’ll be hearing from me a whole lot more.

  • Coffee Shop Days 2

    Okay so check it. I’m sitting by the window in Heine Bros and right outside there is a table with an old lady sitting there. I low-key feel like she’s reading what I’m typing right now, so if she is… Hello! haha

    Anyways today is my moms birthday so Happy Birthday mom!

    I don’t plan on staying long because I need to head home and attend to some other stuff that is important so here is a brief over view of whats going on. RIGHT in front of me is a tall white lady and a SUPEr tall Indian guy talking business. They’re not as interesting though as the pretty ladies sitting outside talking about who knows what.

    But never mind that.

  • Coffee Shop Days Pt. 1

    So as I write this post I’m sitting in my favorite Coffee Shop which is Heine Bros. If you drink there then you are now automatically my friends. Anyways I wanted to start making a series of post of whats going on in the shop while I’m here. Now lets starts.

    Directly sitting across from me is this white dude. He looks like a hipster and has a a Macbook Pro. On the cover of his mac he fucking out a mustache on the apple… lets talk about that shit real quick. Ive seen sitckers that bite the apple, pose next to the apple, but this mothafucka put a got damn mustache on his apple. Lets also talk about the slippers and hair cut that this dude has. He also keeps smiling awkwardly and is looking out of the window. I’m not sure if he got high for 4/20 and decided to sit in the coffee shop for 4 hours or he just naturally acts like this.

    Anyways, morning on to the guy reading the atheist book. OKay, well I’m not surre if its an atheist book but it had a hart and triangle on it. I’d google it but I don’t have time, I’m typing.

    Moving on…

    My homie Christian put Cinnamon on my Cinna- wait. Never mind. I’ll say it anyways, he sprinkled cinnamon on my cinnamon roll and I wanted to tell him I was allergic to it as a joke but now that I think about it, If I was allergic I wouldn’t be able to eat the damn thing to begin with.

    Last but not least…

    Heine Bro’s is discontinuing my favorite tea for reasons unknown. Well not really, its because my homie Daimont and I are the only ones that drink it. They’ve replaced it with Oolong tea which is a good alternative. Its pretty tasty.

    The End…

    Well this ends Coffee Shop Days Pt.1 Expect more post or maybe an episode soon. I come here 2 or three times a week.

    ps. second love
