Talking about Sex

Sexual pressures that are faced by the average freshman tend to relate to having relations with girls. Not relationships. Many are delighted with this fact because it tends to be more of a right of passage ideology that incoming freshman get to just have fun and have as much sex as possible. And colleges tend to further feed this frenzy by giving out free condoms to make sure they have protected sex. Now there is nothing wrong with that, but it only makes it easier to have more sex this way. The pressures tend to be more on the women than men because if something extreme happens the women get more of the burden than men. And that fact is apart of the rules of dating, which are loosely bound together and are typically different for each person. Number one rule for me that i have known and have talked to many girls about is to never ask for or look for them online unless it is acceptable. There are exceptions to that rule but generally if you don't want to look like a stalker get to know her. and if your talking to her enough facebook or my-space discussion will come up. and you will have a chance to add her or whatever and then look. Never before though, you will run the risk of looking too possessive.

Advice for someone who is younger than me is to always stay protected no matter what happens. Because college is a place where people re-invent themselves for the better or worse. And i have seen people do some of the worst things already and im just a freshman. So i would also tell them that to never change unless you absolutely need to.

drugs of choice

The acceptable drugs for freshman in college is without a doubt Weed. marijuana to be exact. Not only is this drug prevalent in all areas of college it is socially acceptable as a way to relax from the college drama and issues. It is especially drug of choice because it is a hot topic due to the fact that California has made it partially legal to grow and sell. I do not smoke marijuana because i use sports and other physical abilities to let out my stress into a positive area as some college students do not. There are several temptations in college as the parties get out of control and it is very easy to lose yourself. And i have been to one recently where i had to help this person who was drunk out of the house. I physically had to pick them up and carry them out due to them being drunk.
Another acceptable taboo is drinking. Most of my friends drink and do it occasionally. I do not drink for the same reason why i don't smoke but i find it a taboo i will never mess with. My friends on the other hand will. And not only will they drink, they will get drunk like you see on movies falling over everything. These two drugs are the easiest access and are prevalent in college. Its even a stereotype that college students will do these things their first year. My doctor even told me that my stand on drinking and smoking will most likely change but i hold fast to my beliefs and control myself and continue playing sports and not doing anything negative to my body.

Music list #2

1. Crazy world- Young Jeezy
2.Make her say- kid cudi feat kayne and Common
3. Comfortable- lil wayne
4.Lolipop remix- lil wayne feat Kanye
5. Meeting in my bedroom- Silk

My favorite song would be Make her say by kid cudi feat kayne and Common. I feel that this is my favorite song because when most people listen to the song they do not know it is about oral sex. And it always makes me laugh when i have to explain to them that its not about really poker face, its Poke Her Face. It sounds the same but it has a completely different meaning. A meaning that is misunderstood.

Google Myself.

When i googled my self i was expecting to see my facebook page and alot about Isaac, because of Sir Isaac Newton. And Swindell because it is a last name that just has alot of people with. But when i did google myself i saw my Max Preps page. Which is a page for my football stats, and thats all that i saw. I Saw alot of stuff about sir isaac and stuff about him because he is known more than me of course. And there is always something about Swindell Genealogy but what really astonished me is that there was a Isaac Swindell Facebook on the first page of google.. But it wasnt mine at all!! haha wow i couldnt believe that another Isaac Swindell google favored more. That really made me mad but i dont really care because in another year or so i will be the number one Isaac Swindell. Until then all i have to say for that copy cat isaac.... HIS TIME IS RUNNING OUT

Music Memories # 1

When i was little my parents would listen to nothing but oldies music. Motown, Jackson five, Temptations, and a whole bunch of others. As a kid i would enjoy listening to that music but i was also affected by any music that i heard. Movies, TV, radio, and even people that would sing to themselves. I have carried that over my whole life. But when i was about 12 i started to listen to hip hop and rap. I have heard it before but i didn't know the names of the songs or the lyrics. So i then started to listen to rap while i still listened to other types of music. A key moment was when Linkin Park came out with the album Hybrid Theory. At first i didn't like rock at all until one day i was lifting weights and a Linkin park song came on. I felt pumped up and i liked that song it energized me. Ever since then i listen to linkin park as well as some other alternative rock music. My friends on the other hand are very secular in that there music is only about rap and hip hop. I used to be made fun of the music that i listen to until the day they realized that they missed out on some really good music. They would think that any music other than rap R&B or hip hop would be only for whites. And if you still listened to it you would be called a wanna be white kid. But that's why there stuck in the same area they grew up in because they didn't want to expand there music, beliefs, and become more open.

study tip #1

My first study tip would be to first put it in your mind that you can remember the things that you want to remember.. Most people dont think that they can remember and thus they dont remember.. So you have to be determined and stay focus to believe that whatever you want to study you can remember and study it.

Music list #1

my ten songs are from all genres that emcompass my emotions as well a reflection of events
1. Linkin Park-P5hng Me A*Wy (Mike Shinoda ft. Stephen Richards)
it has a good beat as well as lyrics that i can relate to.

2. stevie wonder- Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing
i like this song because it just makes me think that everything is going to work out regardless what happens in your life. i like it because stevie wonder is a great musician and he just so happens to make great music.

3. Linkin Park -Wth>You (Chairman Hahn ft. Aceyalone)
This song i like because it is an reanimated or remix to the original. i dont typically like listining to rock but this song i like the most.

4. Boys 2 men- Thank you
I like this song because it is all about thanking someone for what they have done for them. And not a rant on about what they got that other people want. Boys to men is a group that many of the songs i really like but this one is my favorite.

5. Charlie Wilson-There Goes My Baby
I like this song because of the fact that it came out this year and it is more of an oldies feel to the music. it reminds me of the music that my parents listen to and i used it to ask out a girl.... and it worked!!!

6. Lil wayne-Every girl
haha i love this song because it talks about the most outrageous thing and what some guys actually perceive that they can accomplish. i like it because of the hook and how the lyrics are....funny

7. Tupac Ft. Biggie-Runnin' (Dying to Live)
i personally like all of Tupac songs but this one is about dying to live. and the hook..why am i dying to live..if im living to die... it makes me think and not just take everyday for granted.

8. Tupac-Broken_Wings

I like this song because it is another deep song by Tupac and talks about his mistakes and how he is asking god to fix these Broken Wings... his mistakes. I like it because it makes me think and appreciate life.

9. Apologize (Remix) (Ft. One Republic & Unknown) - Timbaland-

This song i like because its like he is tired of all the BS that he had with this girl and is fed up... so he just doesn't care anymore. i like it because this song had a lot of remixes but no one knows who wrote it...

10. Fort Minor- Right now

This is my all time favorite songs that i have ever heard. Its like a narration of what they see in the city the good as well as the bad parts. i like how they each write there own hook after each verse

Myself

um... i took this class by accident but its alright, the only thing is that my expensive ass computer could not get on wireless access.. like a dog that doesnt bark i found that my computer is useless. other than my hayabusa wallpaper. I like this class i find that its interesting and i get to try to use my computer. i dont think i will listen to alot of rock, but i will listen to alot of Motown music. like the Temptations, smokey, and such. oh by the way my name is Isaac Swindell.. pronounced Swin DELL. not swinDULL. i hate that with a passion like if im at safeway or best buy people are always saying swindull. so yeah im a freshman in SJSU having too much damn fun for a freshman.
