matter of fact, i said that in my reply above. 'andre' will forever be a hood / black name to me.

while we on it, my kids be snapping on me ALWAYS because i say 'MARRY-o' and not 'MAR-ee-o' (like on the game).

i'm like, 'can't help it. shit is ingrained. i went to school w/ a ni&&a name mario and aybody said it 'marry-o'.

its hard-wired now.

i mean, like once a week one of 'em will say something about my new jersey isms, and specifically about my pronunciation of 'mario'.


peace & blessings,

x.
