i am disgusted with someone right now.

@geahuwine

then right before you move---donate it back to Goodwill...is that the same as recycling?


Now my confession:

My mom died 13 years ago today. I found a picture of her while cleaning up my apartment for this move---It's the only picture I have of her smiling. It made me smile. I sat there and just stared at the pic for what had to have been 20 minutes just trying to remember her smile (in person), her voice, her mannerisms.

My son came in the room and asked me what I was doing...I simply replied "One day, you'll understand".


Hopefully he doesn't have to understand it any time soon.

I just want 1 more hug.

Why (usually when drunk) do you sometimes put your breasts on a young man's arm when talking to him (when he's holding a drink so his arm is at a 90 degree angle)? Why not stand slightly further away and lean in?
How would you like him to react to this presuming it's not an accident.

--

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

that might not be anything

most people do get more close-talker like with drinks but if you have big boobs theyre just gonna end up rubbing up on someone or someone is going to brush them w/ an arm or something

if you stare at a boob too long a woman "feels" it.

They have lived with those things all their life. They know how to gauge boob space.

big ones are different

im not trying to big up myself but they get in the way a lot. they brush up on ppl and sometimes ppl accidently brush up on them and then get all mortified like im going to call the cops and i tell them it's ok. it happens all the time. seriously. they just get in the way.

if theyre not that big, then yes, it is likely intentional but again, if you're drinking you really don't have the best sense of personal space

I'm on stage rapping and shit... jump into the crowd, see the blonde wig and think it's dude so I squeeze the titties...

look up and there is an asian girl who was a friend of mine and she has a look like 0_0 and she playfully beats on me like on Ester on sanford and son.

She took dudes wig and was wearing it and I didn't realize it.

This was in front of 300 people.

It happens with a variety of ladies, some who have expressed interest in the past and some who haven't. The most recent time was a few weeks ago when I was traveling with my girl and ran into a friend from home when I left the lady at home one night. But when it does happen, I always wonder to myself... "I know you know they're just resting there on my arm... why you do that?"

I've been meaning to ask a lady friend for a minute, but most of my closer female friends are littler titted, and i definitely can't ask the gf.

Another band practice in and I was pretty frustrated, we still don't have a consistent bass player and listening to these recordings... these niggas do not listen to me. I guess I'm gonna need a little more bitch in my tone if I'm band leader. Ah well.

Feeling frisky as fuck but there's only one person in my roster and I'm not tryna pour out my whole loving cup. But it's just weird, I'm more picky than usual lately but I def don't want an S/O. Oh well.

Practicing bass and the theory of it is one to wrap my mind around. I've played guitar so it's not difficult it's just playing the same things over and over again. Plus to try and sing over that... I need to practice. *sigh* Another trip to Guitar Center. Wish I could confer with He Who Shall Not Be Named but perhaps that ship's sailed.

I have a new perfect amalgamation of spirit that would vibe well with mine: Gomez Adams + Mickey Knox + Ben Wyatt

So when i was in middle school, I had a crush on this guy named *Tee. He was very cute and very popular. He was also the richest kid in school, always had the latest everything. I was poor. Cute, but poor. Anyway somehow Tee and I became cool mainly because we had a few classes together and we would work together on school work and homework. Okay fast forward to high school, we go to different schools and stop talking. one day he sees me at Putt Putt and I have *grown*. so he starts calling again, we start "talking" . Our friendship became intimate (of course), but he was acting real sometimey...like at his new school he was a king and everyone wanted him. so when chicks found out he was cool with me, they'd play me and he'd allow it. once we skipped school together and he later called me on three way with some chick who liked him because he was trying to get her to recognize if she didn't sleep with him, he had girls who would (I didn't know i was on three way, found it out later). anyway, after i found that out, I stopped talking to him. fast forward to a few months ago he finds me on Facebook. somehow he got my number so yesterday he starts texting me non-stop about how he missed me, how i was the one he always wanted, how we were *meant* to be, how strong our connection was..."didn't you feel it?" while i admit i liked him a lot until he played me, this was 20 years ago...if i did feel like it was destiny then, i sure don't feel that way now...but really he starts talking about the good old days and i realize, people really do have a revisionist approach to the past. like how do you forget you tried to play me for some skinny broad? how you allowed her to talk about me? and then i got nonstop texts apologizing for his old behavior and its like...

WHY?

I just don't get why he'd bother hitting me up...is his apology for himself? because i been let that go. but he's not the first to pop up from high school on some "i apologize" shit and it kills me because all of them were bullies...and I am not in the business of forgiveness so you can feel better about yourself.

please believe

don't give that random anymore energy lol

I was like "you must be bored." and he copped all kinds of pleas...I'm responding to see where this is going..."no but i been thinking about you, that's the only reason I made a facebook" all these stories. I finally hit him with the "why should I believe anything you say" and he sent so many more apologies...like it's getting ridiculous.

But I can't lie...it does feel good to see him going out of his way to try to "make things right." so i guess that's my confession. i'm enjoying this...like yes, beg for my forgiveness...and while you're at it, pay me the $300 for the necklace you stole from me (that he said I must have lost while walking that I later saw him wearing in a yearbook photo one year later)

do not collect the D.

--

"You can't beat white people. You can only knock them out."

i had the gillie face. and I already had that D and from what I recall (what's written in my journal), it wasn't that exciting for me. In my journal I talk about how he wore a retainer and during sex it slipped out of his mouth while he was saying "Oh my God, this is so awesome." and how I tried not to laugh at his faces.

But you should take a picture of one of them journal entries and send it to him.
He already played himself.

"aww did your daddy cut you off..."

he's reminiscing to back when he was the man. he sees you doing big things and realizes he's just doin' regular things. not saying working at cap one is a bad gig, but unless he's high up he's just a cube dweller.

seeing you reminded him of a time when his shit didn't stink, and he wishes he still had that.

but you shouldn't allow him to.

I listened to a sermon yesterday that left me feeling beat up and upset. There was no solution at the end other than "Jesus" and I'm like "hellooo! I got Jesus!" I need some instructions other than 'follow Jesus.'

"For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." All those years I was trying to forgive, then I read this book called "Forgive For Good" that includes practical steps in the process of forgiveness.

"Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth." All those years I was trying to control my thoughts, then I read this book called "Feeling Good" that included practical steps for changing negative thinking/cognitive distortions.

I am constantly explaining to these people (organizations) that they are supposed to prove that they need this money in there application, AND THEN show us in the final report that they spent the money the way they said they would in the initial application... and they just don't get it. They just want the money, and they can't understand why all that is necessary.

Meanwhile I bet these people support these foolish food stamp and welfare laws that are going into place soon.

I don't get how it is that they don't get that they are using government subsidies too! We should make them take a drug test before they get THIS money.

Still got another week to go. I don't know why I can't just enjoy this free time.


One of my friends finished grad school and is about to start her career.
I'm so proud of and happy for her, and it felt so good to send off her graduation gift.
But I have to be honest -- I felt kind of sad as well.
I'm still working on accepting and letting go my awful college experience.
I definitely need to plan a celebration for my own impending second graduation.
Maybe a quick little road trip...

But I'm feeling kind of ambivalent about it. I could take it or leave it. I like my space.

it's real easy for folks to be on the outside and look at my city, watch the cute lil hbo shows and be entertained....
but some shit is real life
our babies....our kids.....our children...our 'lor thugs' were in the streets goin to battle with the police...as I been sayin from the jump...these were CHILDREN

my nephew be out on that same stop everyday


if your local police department protects and serves you, wonderful...our's doesn't....not all of em ....but as a whole, NO

you may not know what it's like being a 12yr old kid....outside innocently playin football/basketball wit your friends...to have police roll up on you asking what you got on u...drug addicts asking u the same...you may not know what it's like having friends that may not be as blessed as you are because they have lead poison/eatin gvt food from white boxes wit black letters/aint seen there father in forever/mother has a menial job...you may not know what it's like if your grandma ain't come literally save you from the foster care system...you may not know what its like to see the jobs leave...you may not know what its like to grow up and literally have drug dealers be your hero because it's what you see as immediate 'success'...u may not know what it's like to have large families living over top you, under you, to your left to your right...you may not know what it's like to hustle because that's what your father/unlces/cousins did...you may not know what its like to get locked up in front of your child for trivial things...you may not know what it's like to seek love/attention/affection in the form of sexual activity while your a 11-14yr old child because you don't get it any where else...you may not know what it is to literally survive in conditions where your lights get cut off/nothing in the fridge but hot sauce and ice water...you may not know what it's like to be on your way to work/home/school/something productive to then be pulled over and sittin on a sidewalk wit ya hands behind ya head while they search your vehicle, find nothing for just being you....you may not know what it's like to have to grow up real quick because the world is exposed to you right in your face...you may not know what its like to to feel bad that you are blessed academically and have more will power/emotional stability/focus than your counterparts.....or maybe you do

but I woke up angry...because there are ALOT of US here who have fought to fight to bring our city back...we know our grandparents stories about how the old Baltimore was the shit despite the racism and issues of the time....the pool halls, the clubs, the Royal, the sports, the neighborhoods...the blocks...the corners...
we know how it hurt to see how jobs left and crack came right in... there are a lot of us who grew up in the rec centers that have now been closed...we grew up where everybody on the block knew you and your family on some village shit...we know how what you see on tv may come across 'edgy/rough/hood/ghetto/uneducated' and you may not understand but we do...it's real...it's character, it's in our blood and it's contagious...it might not have all the pretentious/cute shit that other cities have but we have a grit/resolve that you may not understand...we have a charm ...we fought....we started getting our shit together...we started buying houses, goin to school, getting better jobs, fathers staying involved, coaching up the kids, the programs, the organizations, the efforts.....
and when I rode by and saw that I wasn't alone in my feeling
I log onto FB...and saw that I wasn't alone in my feeling
We were embarrassed....we were ashamed....we were angry...
We were caught off guard...
a mess was made....but WE cleaned it up....

the 'bad apple's' are gonna be bad
looters are gonna loot.......snatchin pills, bottles, tennis and true's is goofy, inexcusable, and flat out dumb....
and NOBODY supports that

the fires....were COMPLETELY uncalled for....and pissed us off the absolute most...those folks are shunned...those weren't children (in most cases)

but....
in one of 'the most violent/dangerous cities in america',
'where niggas get shot everyday b' ...nobody died

we are FAR from perfect...this is FAR from over....but we will get right...

For those of you with a lot of the unproductive criticisms, remarks, and such....cool...we hear it everyday from a lot of white people from our surrounding counties...and we gonna take it in stride

for those who are from out of town, on the ground, helping...for those who are showing support and prayers and positive energy...
I thank you...we thank you

I thank you because you made me look in the mirror to stop being angry and made me proud to BMore

I've been mostly ignoring the "mass media" coverage of this shit for the most part.

and IMO anyone who can't see what caused this shit/gets hung up on "burning their own communities"... is full of shit

fuck it. I'm gonna spin this off on my own confession. but I feel you completely.

I feel like in many ways "our" generation was denied the shit our parents and grandparents had to fight to get, straight off the break. last decade was a lost one IMO. childhood was a smokescreen.

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

here for dis.

and that's exactly how I feel. People don't understand that you aren't merely a RESIDENT of Baltimore, but you have a RELATIONSHIP with it. We're around the same age, so we've seen the worst of the worst. The 300+ murders for 10 years. The addiction. The blocks and blocks of vacants. Things like this hurt because they're setbacks. But as I said in the other thread, this is a Baltimore issue and we're the ones who are going to solve it. I'm turning on the TV and seeing people I know - mentors, friends out there. It makes me proud and simultaneously increases my guilt for leaving. No matter where I've lived, I've always repped my city and it's ethos. But in my spirit, I feel it's time to go back. There's work to be done.

That's your man. You just don't know it.

I'm still riding the wave, despite a few set backs.

I'm just tired of the bullshit.

white (and other) folks who can't understand the plight of people in places like Baltimore, are basically "noise" to me. hopeless causes. like trying to tell someone who ain't "techy" and don't wanna learn how to use a fuckin cell phone or a laptop.

really, I'm just gonna have to be "Old Claw" and start going at some of these old(er) heads who keep bringing up the "burning your own neighborhoods"/"killing ourselves" bullshit when these topics come up.

like we can't be mad at both.

Recently I went to church with my uncle, around the time of the Walter Scott shooting

pastor was on some, "we can't be mad at the police when we're killing ourselves" rhetoric

old folks in there loved it.
I was in "other people's house mode" and kept my face as stoic as possible.

I was like, "fuck outta here" internally. I felt like going up there and snatching the mic.

I get like that in these situations a lot, but I know from here on out, if I hear that bullshit, some variation on "fuck outta here" sentiment is gonna come out of my mouth.

I think most folks know not to engage me because they know it's coming though. But I really can't stand to see Black folks on that bullshit so that they appear "strong" and "not victims", or whatever bullshit reason they go that route.

fuck outta here. kids ain't even allowed to be kids anymore without having to worry about this shit. -we- weren't supposed to have to worry about this shit, but look where we are.

I'm not a social media "deleter" (I never really add the problem children in the first place), I'm just going to be watching your ass, and might correct you.

case in point: I had to light up this one dude I've been sitting on 2 years of bullshit for regurgitating the whole "criminal element" concern trolling talk. went into the whole "what do you expect when your entertainment promotes the thug image" spiel. I let that motherfucker know that his viewpoint and others like it perpetuate this bullshit, not some outdated idea of "thug" imagery. "thug" rap ain't sold in years. the shit that used to be "uncool" is now cool now.

it's #GOLFWANG season. no one is safe.

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

We are expecting, so we were excited to discover the joys of parenting.

However, because my wife's brothers and their spouses are pretty much fucking deadbeats, we now have her brother's 6 year old and 15 year old living with us.

So...now we get to be instant parents. It's been really stressful because we aren't living in the same district that the girls were going to school in so we've had to coordinate special transportation with multiple school districts. The 6 year old ended up missing 2 weeks because of that and we've just found out a bunch of crap like her brother wasn't always making her go to school.

The 15 year old got in trouble with the school right when we got her because of unexcused absences. Well, this girl is an amazing human being who loves going to school...the reason they were unexcused is because her parents were too lazy to even call the school when she was sick and let the school know.

The girls are going to finish school this year with this special transportation, but I'm worried about the future if they stay with us. Transferring the 6 year old isn't that big of an issue...she's 6. but the 15 year old has been through so many school changes and now she has "high school friends" and she is going to start in the advanced diploma program next year...so we are going to TRY our best to work out some sort of way for her to keep going to her current high school.

These kids parents are TRYING to get their lives together right now, but I'm not gonna lie - if and when they do, they are going to want their kids to live with them (which is understandable), but I'm going to struggle to let them go because their best chance for success and stability is to be with us.

There's nothing like raising someone else kids and for that you get mad props. You have changed those kids lives for the better and they will see it and know it one day.

"And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful." ~ 2 Tim 2:4

They are amazing kids, so that makes it easier.

Their parents are good people at heart which is part of the reason they are good kids, they just can't figure out how to be responsible adults.

It's a good situation on one hand and bad on the other, but I know we are making a good, strong impact on the girls.

It's not easy but I'm glad we can be there to give them stability. The oldest one has big ambitions in life so it's important that she be able to focus on school and the other things she has going on.
