Why Did you write about this subject?
I did pursuit of a good time at first because I was in need of a topic. I did my first paper and didn’t realize that I was on the wrong topic. I soon found out after my teacher told me. After I did my first paper I didn’t feel like rewriting the paper again. After thinking about it The Pursuit of a Good Time was the perfect topic for me to do. At that point I was need of a good time for a wile. School has been stressing me out and I felt if I talked about something that will put me in a better mood, then I will be in a better mood as I was writhing all of these papers. It was something that I related to as well. I’ve had a couple of good times in my life. It helped to write about something that I knew about.
I didn’t realize how much I would have write about this subject. If I had a chance to do it all over again I would. One thing that I feel that should have been different was that I thought we could write about what ever we want at that time. I could feel like writing about something else but nope I had to write about that subject. I wasn’t all for it in the beginning, and I’m still not in favor of it. Well it has been an ok experience, and it’s almost over. When it is over I’m not going to miss it.

5 things that represent a good time
I saw a blog a bout what some guy thought a good time washttp://www.blogaholics.ca/archives/2005/08/having_a_good_t.html. I was thinking about the last time I had a good time. As I was thinking I realized that it has been a wile since I had great time. So instead of going that far into my head I just thought of what bring great times to me. I came up to my top 5 and this is what I got.
Getting/ Wearing hats. There nothing like this feeling. The felling of getting new hats is the sweetest joys next to getting… well you know what the rest of the saying is. When I do get hats I get clothes, and I wear my hats with my clothes. I feel rejoiced and ready to live life again. When I get a new hat it’s a whole new beginning.
Partying. Planed or not as long as I’m in one dancing the night away with a little liquor in my system (Preferably some Grey Goose) it all good. I forget about all of life’s worries for that little moment in time I’m am having a good time.
Going to Cleveland. This one is hard. When I haven’t seen my family members in a wile it’s nice to be around them. I’m able to find out how things are going. I also get to see friends. As long as things are going well I’m doing well. If I’m up there too long it gets boring and I fell like doing something out the ordinary. That’s when I get in to the trouble.
Gaming. I love to play games. I never grew out of video games and I don’t plan on growing out of them. I haven’t been playing since school been in secession but when school gets out I will be wasting hours at a time in front of the T.V going through story lines or gaming online.
Watching Cavs, Browns, Buckeyes, and Indians games. I love basketball, football and even baseball. I am a home town kid as well so it all makes sense to me. It has become harder to be a Browns fan because they always do dumb things but they can’t be unlucky forever. Can they. Don’t answer that I don’t want to know.
That’s what symbolizes a good time to me. I try to have these times because it’s a stressful world. I’m in need of these times to keep me waiting to go on. These are the moments that are the rarest and the ones that we talk most about. So god if you reading thins please keep them coming for all of us.

Weather
“Nice weather were having.” From the campus of Newark Ohio to the Congestion of Columbus Ohio I hear how the weather is. When I’m at work and not getting into trouble I admire the weather from the inside as the sun makes its journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I feel good. I am happy and during these war sunny days I notice that people that I deal with feel the same way.
I always wondered why these type of days bring smiling faces and the rainy days don’t. For example I will be at work, and I find myself getting smarter and being more intolerant to asshole customers on raining days than on sunny days. When I think about a conflict between me and the customers I’ll think to myself on a sunny day that I could have made a scene with that customer and cussed her/him out. After thinking about it a little wile I chalk up being nice to the nice weather that’s outside. On a rainy day it’s a different story. I find myself being less tolerant to customers and getting calls form the main store that I just got a complaint. I might be thinking to my boss to f**k off but I keep that to myself just because I got bills to pay and I need a job to pay it with.
When I’m outside on a beautiful day my options open up. I like to work out so I could take my work out outside. On a bad day I forced to work out inside. That might make me not want to work out at all. When the weather is bad no one is out, but when the sun is out you see people having a good time. People doing what they enjoy and letting the good times roll. http://content.msn.co.in/Contribute/Others/UCStory281.htm.

Hats
Hats
I love hats. I have 27 hanging up on my wall. The worst part about that is that I lost about ten from things to misplacement to it actually getting stolen from me. Even when these things happen I will go to the store and get another hat. I do have rules on how my hats have to be. There are some that are not real. In other words if the hat doesn’t have 59/50 inside the hat I am not wearing it. There are some acceptations to the rule. For example I may wear rebook hats or Mitchell and Ness but for the most part I only where 59/50 on my head.
On a regular day I will think about hats. If I need a new one I will go to look at my wall and say in my head that I need a new hat. When these situations come up I usually know what I what to get. I will think about how much money I will need to get the hat. It is usually 27.48 which is a small price to pay for something so beautiful. Then I will be on my way. Out the house I fly to my car then I fly to the mall. It seams like an entirety to get there because I so anxious to get to the mall. In the blink of an eye I'm there and I go through the mall observing all of god’s creations. Soon I see big bold letters saying Lids and right then I know that the world could come to and end and I would even panic because I know lids is with me.
There is no better felling than to go to lids and give them my discount card and say something like “Let me get that all black Indians hat.” And it doesn’t end there. I am convinced that I’ve been put on this earth to give New Era employees a hard time. I then give them my second round of request and say please get me a hat from the back because I know that all display hats are the dirty hats. Afterwards when getting ready to ring out I’ll see another hat that I want to buy. It becomes one of those days that instead of spending 27.48 I’ll be spending 54.96. I don’t care it will be 54.96. Then I give them my credit card and then I am on my way.
I am on my way out and the things that I complain about don’t seam as important anymore. People that I get into small arguments in the near past are forgiven. When I get new hats life becomes that much more beautiful. Sometimes I think how can something so small as a hat make me feel this way. I never find out, but it doesn’t bother me. I’m feeling good and that’s all that matters.

Cavs game
He shoots it and it is good again. That’s what I like to hear, the best player in the world Lebron James is lighting it up again. The Cavs are playing together as a team and when that happens there is nobody in the NBA who can see them. As I am listening to the game I hear the fans shouting in joy about what the Cavs are doing. The only problem is that I am listening to what they are doing instead of seeing what they are doing.
It is a Wednesday morning and I am on my way to getting a pair of Cavs tickets for my brother and me. It’s a beautiful spring day down Euclid Avenue in Cleveland Ohio, the greatest city in the world. As I am on the way to the stadium I cant stop thinking about me being at the Cavs game, but soon as this thought pops into my head it starts to rain(that Cleveland weather is about as predictable as Whitney Houston going into rehab) so this had to be the beginning of a bad day. When I got to the stadium the person who I was suppose to get the tickets from waits until I get to the point of where we are suppose to meet to call and say that all the tickets are sold out. I was a little upset but that was just the beginning.
Hours passed and I figured that I will be able to watch the game on NBA T.V. So after a hard day of work I tune into NBA T.V to watch the game. I tune in early to see the pre game. I saw that they were in practice lines and I was getting pumped to watch the game. I went to the bathroom and as I was finishing up I heard a big scream. I ran out and to my surprise the Cavs game was blacked out. http://www.dispatch.com/dispatch/content/sports/stories/2007/04/27/cavstv.html. I was in shock but nothing to worry about I had an idea.
I told my brother to grab his car so we can go to a sports bar and watch it there. As soon as I was getting on my appeal was as soon as my mom was on her way to work with my car. To make matters worst she didn’t even leave her car keys. On that day I felt like I was walking under ladders all day. I didn’t even car anymore I gave up on trying to watch the game and decided to listen to the radio. It wasn’t like watching it but I the least the Cavs could have done was win there game. And that’s exactly what they did.

Birth of tha hustle
While I was in high school I would think about ways to get paid. Back then the best times was the times I was getting money. I would be in class and the teacher was teaching. Being around the same people for 180 day out of the whole year was bound to make your mind wonder off some times. As she was talking a thought came to my mind. Since I was working at a local grocery store I figured that I could find some goods to sell in school. That was the hardest step. The easiest step was what to sell. I knew that everyone in school were fens for chocolate so I figured that that’s what I needed to sell. That was the birth of my hustle.
I went to work later that day. I couldn’t work without thinking about how much money I could make. As the time passed I got more nervous. I was going to make my first purchase to stat up my business and I couldn’t help being excited. Hours passed and sweat dried up as I fished that day at work. The purchasing of my goods was here. I went to the candy aisle and went crazy. I had everything from starburst to M@Ms. Before I knew it I was up to 100 dollars in candy. I checked out and was on my way home.
Later that night I had a talk with my mom. She asked me what I was going to do if my business fell on its face. I had no answer. She was saying that I shouldn’t have purchases so much stuff. I went to sleep that night and dreamed that no one was buying my product. I just wasted 100 dollars and I had nothing to show for it. My alarm clock couldn’t some soon enough as I soon woke up. I took a shower and the whole nine and went to school that day not knowing what to expect.
The school bell rung to begin the day and I started out by telling everyone about my business. Everyone loved the idea of supporting me rather than the school. Soon they came by the flocks. Everybody from students to facility members want to buy things off of me. Twenty four hours later I sold out and made about 300 dollars that day. I was overjoyed and I knew that this moment I was going through was one of the best moments of my life.
I continued to sell candy but I never had a day like that again. I would still make about 50 dollars per day. The school started cracking down on me but they couldn’t put a complete stop to it. During that time I pursuit money and that was the good life to me. No one can ever take that away from me.

The good times
Good times have been unpredictable for as long as I can remember. They come around in a variety of ways. The most common ways that good times come around are hype nights and surprise nights. Planed times tend to come around more than surprise times. The times that are planed are usually fun but they usually never live up to the hype. Surprise nights are usually the best times.
Planed nights are nights that you want to be fun. During the day before these nights people buy new outfits. I usually go all out and get a hat that matches my brand new outfit. There always talk about what is going on that is suppose to be so fun. It seams every where you go the event is on everyone’s mind. Everything from Sports to Parting nights get blown up that when the event comes around is not as good as one expects. It is not true for all events. There are times where the event exceeds the hype, but usually that’s not the case.
Unplanned events are usually the best. It could be something as simple as a bored late night in a college dorm. If you are not bored by yourself it could be the makings of a fun time. Multiple things could get started. As a college student the wildest of things can happen. If you don’t plan it it’s almost always going to be better than expected. The unexpected is always what we as human beings always remember.
These kinds of times are unpredictable. The planed times could be fun. Most times you know that this time can be fun. There usually organized, and if something goes wrong there are always back up plans. As for unplanned times when things go wrong they usually are the worst things possible. That’s why I take the times as they come. You will never know what you will get.
