…

He was young, mean, made lots of threats, and all the adults in my life told me he was a bit off
I dont think I loved that man until I was closer to 30

I say that because my kids LOVE me and I lack the full capacity to understand why, or even that it’s a thing that happens
Like I honestly don’t recognize when or if my kids miss me or want me to play
Because I never wanted my dad around

And I know and have always known that it’s almost always better to have your parents around than not
But for the first ten years of my life he was just an angry man navigating his 20s and he just spit life lessons at me with zero context or explanations.

to the point where they are diving on me and smothering me. Its
awesome.. and annoying, lol. Even when I’m like “aiight get OFF me!!!” they hit me with a “its because we love you, you’re the Big Daddy Man!”

my pops wasn’t mean, he was all about the bottle so spending time with him was annoying af. It wasn’t until he sobered up after I was in the 20’s that we really connected.

and of course, once I was an adult I found out why he hit the bottle it all made sense.


at his funeral everyone was retelling stories and it always went “he would make you so mad and 2 seconds later he had you laughing.. you just couldn’t stay mad at him”

That was crazy lol. Randomly popped into my brain today.

imagine how many times that dude typed and deleted shitty responses that he really wanted to send?

at first.
his initial post felt patronizing but i thought it was sincere and just kinda tone def

then homie went full Joffrey

Corporate America is for the birds

lol

that's all I got.

She's white, I'm black now back to story....

I glance at her and see cloth daisy dukes or really short draws. I said to a manager privately can we get a rule that everyone has to wear pants then weeks later left a note. Never said a word to her AT ALL. It's 2022 wear pants, wear shorts, wear something other daisy duke possibly spandex draws.

Fast forward months later and they stopped us from working together without telling me why. Management getting a Geechi Gotti tier talking to at the next meeting.

Is that it?

have too much time, and not enough to do.

If she younger than like 28 they take pride in dressing like thots at work and dare ppl to look at them funny or raise an issue

Let's chop these fables:

I glanced at her once, didn't a word, and found a manager later on, left a note asking for clarification on the dress code a week later.

If anything she's the Karen for trying this dumb shit with her attention seeking self. Nobody wants to see that bs, PUT ON SOME CLOTHES in the workplace. Any smile at her is sending me to HR cause I'm black that's why I have a blank stare on my face.

It's not religious at all.

lol dude

and he doesn’t see it

just like a Karen

wtf, man lol

or maybe it goes against his Mormon beliefs

is Kira still a Mormon?

and I love how half of them have white women commenting on how you could replace the Black guy with a woman today and still be accurate.

I have been getting the strawberry and mango ones for a couple summers, but I got a multi pack from Sams club that included grape (tangerine, strawberry, mango and pineapple also). Grape is my new favorite.

i have bought outshine but i prefer the mexican brands where you can actually feel the pieces of fruit lol

these:

or really these, but i think they are local/regional:
https://www.instacart.com/products/17723371-fruitiki-fruit-bars-frozen-strawberry-colada-6-ea

all of em.

for some reason or another whether it be distance or time we dont really speak anymore. i be thinking about them though.

yea yea social media but it doesnt feel the same to me. like sometimes it gives me a picture that doesnt line up with my experiences with them and its kinda jarring.

im sure theres something deeper here but its late and i wouldnt care to read further either ha.

I understand shit happens but dude really tried to get paid for a job he hasn’t finished yet.

Its been raining a lot so its slowed things down but I’m not paying for labor that hasn’t happened yet.

New worker is working out well but again, anytime her computer locks up or a site stutters she swears its because people are out to get her. Who the fuck are you and why are you so important. Kist restart the damn computer. Its not that serious. Unfortunately I think this may hurt her chances of sticking around. She is starting to sound crazy.. lol. I like her tho.. but damn, stop talking like you are in Enemy of the State.

We got 2 new kittens, one walked on my head this morning at 4 AM. He wont leave me alone.

I refuse to pay these highway robbery prices, bout to drink this free toilet water.

water fountain or do you get it filled at at restaurant? I want to know so I can follow suit.

When I've tried to get through with water, TSA has made me pour out the water.

Now as far as filling it, I usually will try to go to a fast food place and just get ice. Then I'll fill it up with water at the bottle refill stations by the water fountains.

Had to cancel my portion of the trip going home to see my mother due to flights being delayed in Charlotte, and me missing the connecting flight home. Still going on the rest of my trip.

one that came thru 2 days ago was crazy.

this wouldn't bother my normally, but I bought her dinnerware set for housewarming.

asked her why she's using paper plates. she said the other plates are for special occasions.

You gotta get her some less fancy shit now.

of course, that's too me, it really is for everyday use. I think the color probably made her think special occasion.

she's wasting money on paper plates though.

I've basically always worked been the only black co-worker at all the jobs I've had over the years but for some reason, the last two I've worked, the owner/manager seems to love having the damn air condition on no matter what the temperature was outside & inside.

I get it, when it's hot, it's hot, or if it's kind of stuffy inside but need air circulation, having the air on is is what they do, but does it always got to be fucking 60 to 65 degrees; I ask some co-workers are they cold like I am and sometimes they agree but just put up with it, but me I'm walking around on hot days & summertime (in a long sleeve jacket or hoodie with the hoodie on), there have even been days when the customers come in the store and notice how cold it is and be crossing their arms to stay warm.

Currently there is two co-workers that ALWAYS come to work wearing shorts no matter the weather, I've never been a person who liked wearing shorts (I hate the look of my legs) but even in the past when I've had a black co-worker they even admit being cold at work, so I'm wondering is it a white thing or I just work with weirdos?
