My First Post

Hello. My name is Lawrence Jones III. Currently, I attend Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia. I am not your average broke college student. I am broke, emotionally unstable occasionally, slightly an alcoholic, and have an unexplained accent.

I think that my life is interesting enough to where I could update a blog several times a week and not get bored. Life is dynamic, always changing right before your eyes. And I think that using a blog or any kind of writing mechanism is a great way to note and mark down the scenes that you see on a daily basis. Whether it is about having a thriller of a day filled with smiles, cotton candy, and weed, OR a bad day consisting of a hangover, failed assignments, low test grades, or anything along those lines.

A little about myself... Originally, I am from Chesterfield, Virginia. But locals call my side of town SOUTHSIDE. It gives us a sense of entitlement and makes us feel different from everybody else. What's funny is that as we're trying to be different from everybody else it's almost like we're all the same (because everybody is trying to succeed at being different).

At the age of 20 years old, I have managed to: be in Thrasher Magazine twice, severely damage my rotator cuff, break 4 girls hearts in the span of 3 years, and amass 1,000+ followers on my Twitter account by tweeting meaningless garbage like memes and how I get heartbroken by the same girl for almost 3 months.

There is not much else you need to know about me. I love skateboarding, Cookout, dairy products, the simple things in life. (Sidenote: I have written almost a page about myself in a span of 5-6 minutes while I can't write a paper that is due tomorrow at 3:30 EST about a book that I didn't read...)

At this stage in my life, I am confused about tons of things. Where I am going to be after I graduate, who I should be giving my precious time to, whether I should jump in front of the next GRTC bus that passes. It's pretty fucking frustrating at times. Alas, there is beauty behind the madness. And I am going to do my best to exfoliate and extract every ounce of beauty that is available in this topsy-turvy road of life that I can!
