I read the word "spasmodic" in Ta-Nehisi's latest and started yelling that out loud and with a big smile on my face.
Thanks to ATCQ for giving me something to bubble with.
My lady is down right now and even had the nerve to tell me to not get her anything for Christmas. I didn't tell her but, first off, I had already ordered her a pair of shoes that she really wanted and claims to have needed. I copped her a nice sweater which is something else she'd mentioned throughout the fall that she wanted. I also copped her a nice gift card from a store that sells lady stuff which is also something she was claiming to have needed. Secondly and most importantly, ain't no way I'm not handing gifts over on Christmas. It could help lift her outta her funk and also because I don't want my ass handed to me later for following orders. Sometimes, they want us to defy them. LOL
My daughter is mad spoiled and just plain old mad at me right now. At almost 18, she wants a car. I see no need because she's leaving for college and won't be able to take it with her when she leaves anyway. She has asked me to cop her a black Tory Burch tote which I'm currently refusing to do. The young lady bought her own last summer and it is starting to show wear already because she uses it as a book bag for school. She wants another one for other use. I created a monster that I'm slowly starting to back away from feeding. And she don't like it. That bag may be copped cuz I hate to see her upset. What a conundrum? If Daddy don't take care of his babygirl, who else gonna do it? All of my potnas with daughters are feeling the same pain right now. LOL
My lady's daughter, whom I call my Big Daughter, got us both vexed right now. Some shit just shouldn't be so difficult at the age she's reached. I've given advice, love, support, and my bread. I'm hopeful she gets her shit together but I'm not expecting it to occur anytime soon. She just doesn't seem to want it for herself as much as we want it for her.
And my mom is struggling with some issues my father is facing. I don't know if they've told us the whole truth about what's going on or not but she seems out of it. That could be because they've been married since they were 19 and together since the 9th grade. They're both 66 now. She sent a group text this morning to ask me, my siblings, and our ladies, and our older children to take a bunch of pictures next week while we are in town visiting for Christmas because she wants to make a photo album for the them to have.
All of my women are feeling it and I'm jive scared for my father and at the thought of my dude (my first hero) staring down his own mortality. I'm also the oldest of their children. So, I gotta keep it all together for everybody. God help me!
BuhLACK SPAZZZ - MODIC!
