Sound off! 1

I don't know if its because I'm getting older, have some kind of complex or what, but lately there are just allot of things that pisses me off. The ignorance in me reverts back to my Chapelle Show days: "If you have hate in your heart let it out!" Well here it goes, this is what got me going yesterday..

1. The young lady in my life tells me from time to time that I act like I hate our own.....black people.
   
   Man listen. I don't hate our own, I just hate our ignorance and how in our society the action of one is the action of all. I hate when I meet "the other man", or "clear people" (shouts to Talia) you've got to get them to warm up to you. Its like you have to lay out your life story for them to deem you acceptable. I just feel like in many cases our people are behind the 8-ball for all the wrong reasons. I was watching the show on BET "We got to do better". The first question was who is Obama. To my dismay, every body interviewed except for one didn't know who he was! WTF! How could you not know who the potential first black president is!? Is this not what we have been waiting for? Man I'm to the point where we just need to get it together.
   
2. Yesterday my lady tells me about her weekend at one of her home girls party in the A. She was saying how some guy we saw in the mall felt like I was grilling him up like he stole something.
   
   Man whatever! This is how it went down. I was in the mall, some store, looking for some Polos and this dude, her frat walks up. Dude was smiling from ear to ear looking like some gump and was like "you going to your girls party this weekend?" "Ima be there she says, you know we all going, you" "Yeah you know it, what you think I'm in the mall for now!" Cool. Now if you ask guys there is this thing we try to abide by called man law. You women may not completely get it but it is what it is. So as they were talking and he walked away, I had this look on my face as I grilled him. I grilled this gump a@@ dude because he looked at me walks away and says not a word. Man, I'm sorry just felt like my morals were being challenged in the midst of the moment. You know my lady, I'll give you that. But even if you don't know the situation you still acknowledge a brother. At least say what up. So hell yeah I grilled him, and would do it again.
   

I gotta finish this later, my Job awaits...

The beauty of Nostalgia...

Most of our life times have run across what Jarrod and I refer to "old heads" & "cool breezes". As we know, these are the older gentlemen that tend to pass on their knowledge from their lifetime to help school us young heads that think we know everything. But in reality we know nothing! I've had plenty of old heads simply tell me "just keep living young man".....

So here it goes.

Story #1

So we are sitting in the office one day, and I'm telling the two old heads in the office about the female problems I was having at the time. I then proceed to tell them that I was getting ready to take a trip back up D.C. to kick it with some of the homies from Hampton. As and added bonus I tell old head #1 that one my past PYT's lives up in the area and I'll prob. hang with just to catch up on life.

So he proceeds to ask me, in the midst of women troubles did I plan on doing more that catching up on life? Thus the convo went like this..

Old Head#1: "Like I said, what you gonna do when you gonna get up there? I know you are not going to just hang around boys the entire time. You're to old for that shit!"

Me: "Come on man! My friends and I always know some nice young women to hang out with. That's not even an option. ( If you don't believe, proceed to J-Rod)."

Old Head #1: "Well....that's all good, but that's not what I'm getting at. If you are chillen with old girl, and y'all get to catchin up to much what you gonna do?"

Me: "Hell, I don't know. I haven't even gotten that far in my trip. But I have been talking to her and were supposed to hang out for a bit."

Old Head#1: "Man damn all that. You're a man ain't ya! Ain't ya!"

Me: "YEAH!!"

Old Head#1: "You married!?"

Me: "Naw...."

Old Head #1: "Well then look this what you gonna do...You gonna knock her ass out the park like no body's business. When is the last time you gave her a taste?"

Me: "Man hell early college, maybe freshman/sophomore year."

Old Head#1: "Well this is how its going down. You need to make a statement. Let her know what she's been missing. Go hit up the Shell gas station, go to the register and get you this shit call STAMINA RX. Get you a Mountain Dew, and take it about an hour before ya'll go out or do the dew."

Me: "Dude....I'm cool. I don't need all that. But just curious, what about a PEPSI?"

Old Head#1: Dammit, that's the problem with you young people. Ya don't listen, and you think you know every thing! I don't know nothing about no PEPSI! I know about Mountain Dew! And that's what you gonna do!

As I thought about this. I died laughing. At that moment in became apparent that old heads live their dreams out through you!!

Back from the grave....

Well,.... I am back from the depths of the grave. Its been a minute, but its been worth it. Since the last couple of blogs, a brother was in the middle of finishing his thesis to graduate. That finally ended (thank the lord), I graduated, got a pretty good job and the rest shall fall in place with the posts. For next couple of months the rundown shall go accordingly:

1. "Nose candy" is real!
2. Old heads, their advice, their stories, and living out their last dreams through you.
3. Accepting the grown man status
4. Women: friends vs. girlfreinds
5. The work place, people and their outlandish stories.
6. Runins with the law!!!
