6 of one…

So I’m in the car with my homeboy and his girl. Now her phone is blowing up. It’s one of her five kids by three baby daddy’s (none are his – they don’t have any common children) talking about the cable is off. So she’s huffin’ & puffin’. Then her phone rings again, she looks at it and doesn’t pick up. It’s the people calling about my car payment she says. Five minutes later she gets a text and says her cell carrier is looking for money. I don’t say anything but in the back of my mind I’m just like well dayum. Anyway so it begins. She goes in about how she’s just barely trying to make ends meet and this and that. Why her man isn’t stepping up to the plate and he sees her struggling. Then it happens: “Don’t you think a man should step up to the plate when he sees his woman struggling?” I’m like don’t put me in this. On and on. “Al, speak on it, I know YOU wouldn’t let your woman go around sitting at home with no cable, etc”. So you want it so i give it to you. My answer isn’t what you want to hear but since you insist. I’m like dude what i really want to know is why you mess with someone who can’t hold her own? All the kids and child support payments, she got her own full time job, and can’t keep the dag gone cable on? C’mon son. What’s really going on here? Needless to say she ain’t like my answer. But why can’t that be a discussion?

straight blasphemy

so i made the horrible mistake of letting my tv land on this be damned preachers of la foolishness. my brain hurts. my spirit grieves for the people watching this and even more for the people portrayed in the show. i watched all of one episode and gathered that dietrich haddon not only left his wife of 15 years 2 days after her mama died, but he then had a baby with another woman less than 9months later. his father sat him down (if you’re not pentacostal you don’t know what that’s about) but this dude came out his face talking about he felt in his spirit that he needed a sabbatical. nah son, your father the bishop sat your grimey tail down. smh i can’t. so then the pastor “on sabbatical” but still hittin old girl gets married after 2 years and has the nerve after the vows to announce she’s pregant with their 2nd child and the bishop blesses the union as the credits roll. so i go online and do some googling… the real funny thing is jakes & kirk “teach me how to dougie” franklin have the nerve to denounce the show and state they would never be apart of such tomfoolery. really kirk? i guess the porn addiction might be a little too much over the top even for la huh? and jakes – c’mon son, you never saw a marketing opportunity you ain’t like. not buying it. you need more people. #preachersofla

lavandería

i usually drop off my laundry at the 24/7 spot and let this seksi puertomexican thang fold my boxer briefs but tonight i was feeling froggy broke so i just stayed and did it myself. ole girl was in there looking correct as usual. i’m like nah i was on the way home but i said i might as well stop and do it since i have time. when all of a sudden dude comes over with his comptonesque blue bandana talking about yo son i’m from new york, i don’t know how to work these type of machines. can you do this for me ma?  one – if you’re 40+, bald, and rocking a bandana like some crip from a long lost era you are totally failing at life. two – i just found it so hilarious that he had to emphasize he’s from new york. i’ve done laundry in several states. the machines are all pretty much the same. pour your tide/era/dawn. insert coins, insert bills or insert the little credit card thingee they make you buy. press your temperature boom come back in 35minutes. what type of machines you using in new york? you got the retinal scan starter? i thought that wasn’t coming out till 2018. what a knucklehead. even consuelo was like what set this fool from??
*dead*

not saying it’s right…but i understand

the other day stephen a smith made some comments regarding ray rice & his suspension for hitting his then fiance and folks lost their minds.
basically he said that if you as a woman hit a man then you should expect to be hit back. espn had the audacity to suspend him for a week because of this.
now all yall comparing domestic violence to rape just stop it. wearing your hootchie pants, no draws & titties all out etc is your prerogative. you wanna dress like a hoe, that’s your business. no you are absolutely not responsible if you are raped. however dressing like a hoe and being raped and comparing it to that of hitting a man and the outcome of you getting hit back is comparing apples & oranges. i’m a firm believer that a man shouldn’t hit a woman. that being said though, if you do put your hands on a man then you have proactively initiated whatever transpires after. you dressing like a hoe – the only thing you’re guilty of is being/dressing like a hoe. the only thing you deserve is to be called and treated and thought of as such. no physical repercussion need come from it. you violating a man and putting your hands on him, hey you opened this can of whup ass, now deal with it. i personally never been hit by a woman. i’ve been cussed out terribly even in public. but never felt the need to haul off and hit anyone. that’s just not my stee. but i have often wondered what would i do if a woman hit me. how much could or would i take before even thinking the unthinkable? some chicks go at a dude because they just know he will take it and to me that’s wrong. that’s the chick that needs have someone reach in her mouth. you gonna just keep hitting & hitting dude because he’s gentleman enough to not retaliate meanwhile you’re trying to berate and belittle him for his doing the right thing. i’ve seen it in the streets, on the train, even in my own extended family. it’s crazy. i don’t need a woman that wilds out like that. plus the funny thing to me about all this is that all the hell old girl raised she still married him. now if she ain’t stressed about it, why in the world are all these rape victims and womens rights groups etc making a stink about it? the very person who was offended act like it didn’t even happen yet everyone on the outside has 2 cents to add.
