Back to your regulary scheduled programming after these messages...



...What?, you expected a commercial?

Negative.

Rather, TPS is taking a quick break from music, fashion, and "borough" battles, to touch on somethign a tad more important.

I mean a tad.

Recently, much to my dismay, my high school principal barged into my Advanced Placement class and blacked, on us seniors for acting like jacaksses, and getting each other pregnant. (Mind you, this is a room full of virgins and scholars, smh).

Somehow, before passing out (he's rather heavyset), he managed to touch on the importance of college interviews. Since I wrote this blog waiting for my Georgetown U. representative to show up at Gregory's on Park Ave., I'll give you "head-giving, non raincoat using" seniors something to think about.



Top Ten Things You Just Don't Effin Do At A College Interview.



10. Now, I understand some of us suffer from that whole bad breath thing, but please don't snap-snap-click chew gum while talking to the rep. Even if they're black, I'd doubt they'd be able to tolerate the way young people chew gum these days. Chew up to the very minute before your interview though, because if you don't...

9. ...What's worse than chomping in the reps face? Not chewing at all. Please, please, scrub and brush those molars before heading to Starbucks otherwise you'll end up flipping those burgers you just ate for a living. Imagine telling Ms. harvard all about your AP experience, and all she can smell is that good ol' Whopper Jr. Imagine is she's Muslim...

8. Every teen suffers from the occasional breakout, but for those with more serious problems, keep them suckers under control please. Can't be having pus oozing into your cappucino, or she'll be oozing outta there.

7. My good friend learned the hard way. Watch Princess Diaries before you depart, 'cuz you gotta learn how to eat and drink like a...well...yea. We all know you ain't got no money for Starbucks, don't chomp it down like you never will, 'cuz you never know. My homie did the same, and vomited all over the poor lady, who then fainted. How long you played the piano ain't gonna matter much after that, bruh.

6. Dis shudn't tek long, but plz, like OMG, nvr use tht gud ol' AIM tlk, lmao.

5. It's really nice and all, you know, that you're excited about your brother getting out of Rikers and all, and your 15 year old sister is having a baby shower, but please don't tell these people that (esp. if they're old). It's bad enough you probably already committed all of the above, they'll only be turned off by your slutty sister, or the fact that your brother just did 25 for murdering...an admissons officer.

4. So, pop champagne comes on. The rep thinks its cool coffee shop music, you know its your sidekick. Don't answer it, its not a text from bff Jill you dumass, its an automatic rejection letter. Don't give them that crap about its your mom either, 'cuz while you were too busy doing #5, you let slip that you live with your grandmother.

3. Tell me something, where on your application does it ask for your Goodies? There's a good reason. Don't show up in stilletos and only a trenchcoat covering your lingerie (unless I'm your interviewer), like you're auditioning for a Dream video. Please look correct. Ladies, skirts that don't make you look like an FDA cheerleader. Homies, no jeans, trade in the SB's for some loafers or something. Even the admissions rep knows your theme song is Oochie Wally, but don't show up lookin' like you wanna take them down. Here's a hint, you got an Amish friend? Go in their closet and find something to wear. Lord knows they cover up chest, thigs, butt, nose, ears, eyes, toes............

2. Yo, my ni99a. Don't be comin' all up thru dere talkin' like you fresh out the 'ville. Bring a diktionary or suttin. Idc what u gotta do, can't be all up in dey face when they ask you, "How's school?", and u can't come up wit suttin betta dan, "Ayo, no shag, I be killin' that school shit blood, shit be lite even doe I'm comin all da way from BK, wattup". (Jinad came up with that joke, ish was hilarious). Look 'em in the eye and be for real, not fuh reel.

1. Although there may be some things that could completely end your interview before it starts, I doubt any of those problems are as pressing for prospective students (especially ones with my skin color), as showing up late. (I hate it when Hodge is right (insider for the FDA heads)). But please, please please, don't show up late. First of all, this isn't Ithaca, where one bus comes by every month, and if you miss it, start walking. Nuh uh, this is NYC, more train stations than corner stores, and even more buses. There's no reason to be late. Just, none! Here's a better idea, make them late. Imagine they plan on showing up about 15 minutes before your little coffee date, show up 20 minutes before. Two out of the three interviews I had already I was there long before my rep got there, and I could tell, it made them straighten up. One of them even asked me where my parents are from, as if they couldn't tell that I was a ni****. (Lol).

In other news:

A lot of people have been asking me to send them my playlist, as they've listened to my Ipod at least once before and like what they hear. Well, I've blocked quite a few of you, for you seem to honestly believe I have time to run through my Itunes and count how many Mario songs I've downloaded. So0o0o, as an alternative, I know it isn't much but...

...TPS is starting a new tradition for you uhh, folks. With every post comes a song of the day. Even if its two posts in one day, you'll get two songs.
(Don't worry about not having so and so program, they'll just be links straight from youtube).
P.S I guarantee its not anything you've heard before, but they're usually from semi-major or major artists, so you get the hot shit before anything else.
I'm just musically inclined like that.
Lol


No new fashion news today, sorry. Those Ingelmos (Check the Graduation and Proving Grounds post for that), have completely consumed me so I forgot to check for some new shit.

One last thing.
Remember that whole thing last year where everybody's schedule got shifted around and such 'cuz the city is pop?
Welllll, I took a swing by Bergtraum the other day to meet my homegirl, and uhh, they have the enTIRE building scaffolded. (For those of you that have actually seen Bergtraum, you would know how much scaffolding that is). So I asked her wtf is going on there, and she said they're getting a completely new facade (exterior).

?????Ex-squeeze me???????
A new facade?
The shit looked perfectly fine just a week ago, when they were smackin' around our girls b-ball team, fuck a facade.
Meanwhile, my US History teacher has to make photocopies of textbooks 'cuz Mr. Principal supposedly can't even afford 17.

Tell me that ain't backwards.
