Maybe I’m being a little over-sensitive but the following exchange struck a nerve with me. I was chilling watching the video for Beyoncé new single ‘Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’ and a friend of mines had IM’ed me on Yahoo!: Continue reading »

So I Lack Home Training

So if you happen to know me, I mean really, really know me, you have a general understanding that I’m a damn fool. I believe I’ve mention before that I have this question. A question of ignant, that it doesn’t deserve the correct spelling of ignorant. First the back story:

On some rare occasion I happen to find myself at a the local Walgreens/CVS/24 hour drug store in the middle of the night. As a level of security, these establishments usually have some type of armed guard on duty, and in most cases its an on-duty policer officer/deputy. And it never fails that each and every time I’m in a 24 hour drug store with a cop on duty, the cop is paying more attention to macking on the female cashier than trying to serve and protect. So from these situations and in my cracks head, I thought of something. A question that I believe to be so offensive that I feared being arrested for asking it. And the question is-

“As an uniform officer, how much play/trim/action/ass/pussy/whatever you get just by wearing the uniform?”

So tonight as I was leaving the Prop House, I headed into the neighbor Walgreens, to get some store branded ibuprofen and without fail there was a uniformed officer, macking on the female cashier. There wasn’t a lot of people in the store and after the couple of drinks I had, my liquid courage was in full effect. So I circle around the store a few times, just to wait to see if he would stop talking to the cashier. After 20 minutes or so, I must have look pretty suspect as I kept walking around and eyeing him. So he approached me and asked if everything was alright, I replied and asked if it was alright to ask him something. I threw out some fluff questions to butter him up, asking if he was married or something similar to it. And then I politely apologize and said ” This might offend you, but its been on my mind…” and I laid it on him. 

He immediately busted into laughter, it was too the point where he shed a tear. He wiped his eye and calmly said “I’ve gotten a few numbers, but nothing to brag about.” He chuckled a few more times to himself and said that I made his night. 

So I finally got an answer, but I guess that it would be poll multiple cops and see the variance in their answers but maybe I’m ‘nerd-ing’ it too much.

I’m A City-Boy Again

Just some party small talk I had not too long ago…

Them - You have an interesting accent, where are you from?
Me - I’m from the west side of Philly…
Them - Cool, how long you’ve been in Chicago?
Me - About 8 years now
Them - 8 Years? You ain’t from Philly anymore. After 8 years, you from Chicago now!

I posted this to say that I just signed a new lease for an new apartment on the south side of Chicago. I plan on moving first or second week in June. Its a nice little 1 bedroom near King drive. Now I know that some will say that I’m a fool for giving up my house. But I was never comfortable there, and the upkeep was a bitch. Plus now, that I’m moving to Illinois I get some money back from paying taxes in 2 states.

So who wants to help to move a couch or two?

I’ve been in a somber mood as of late. Money has been tight like wearing a medium t-shirt, I’ve been trying to move without having found a place to move into and the boyfriend has non-existent in my life for the last couple weeks. And the realization that I haven’t had any ass since December ‘07 is making my dick mad at me. 

That suicide is painless, it brings on many changes, and I can take or leave it if I please…

For the last month and a half, I’ve been staying a friend’s house in the city. And I’m so grateful that he’s opened up his home to me, but I feel so fucked up about the situation. There’s something about a grown ass man sitting up in another grown ass man space like he lives there. Also I really don’t know how I can express my gratitude without forking over a wad of cash. Again money is tight. 

That suicide is painless, it brings on many changes, and I can take or leave it if I please…

The site need a change. I couldn’t really put my finger on what it need besides better content. Anyway PhillyBred.com feels more natural than having my name out there. So here’s to freedom to say whatever without having your name attached to it.

They’re The Real Deal

I love these fools, They can take me from a complete shitty day, to forgetting why I was I carrying that sniper rifle up to the clock tower.

Things have been severely hectic lately on all fronts. I’m finally moving to the city. While its not under the best circumstances, I’m actually looking forward to living in the city for once. I can go back to be a city boy again, I just need to find a place by the end of the month. Finances have been weird as well, but I blame that on gasoline being $4.15. And relationship wise has had its up and downs. Life has been truly stressful, but I’m still here and still standing.

Cruised By The Gov’t

Okay, this short latino marine just pulled up next to me on the street, while I was walking home from the bus stop. He literally jumped out of his car, some red Chevy four-door, and asked me a bunch of questions trying to get me to talk to him:

“Hey man, what’s ya name? Do you got a brotha named Robert who’s a marine? You’re a big guy…” 

It was pretty surreal, and I left me rushing to get away from him. As I told him that I really wasn’t interested in the military, and as he pulled off as quickly as he rode up on me, I had this feeling that he cruised me, cruised me for the military. Now as for why I was  walking from the bus, well that’s a story for another day.

Cheating On WordPress

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m doing wrong, and I have. Essentially my last few posts have had no substance and its entirely my doing. I sit here everyday and knowing I have a ton of shit to say, I just can not put it into words. Sitting here now, I’m holding back because I need to get shit off my chest, but I’m feeling extremely exposed. So should I be super-vague, use confusing pronouns and leave the reader with an overall feeling of “WTF is this nigga doing?” or do I lay it out on the table and done with it? Maybe for the sake of sanity…

Work is essentially what the noun says it is… it’s work. I love what I do, but it’s getting harder and harder to get up and go. There are days where I don’t want to leave my bed. But I’m not depressed or anything, but I have this overall feeling that I need to be in bed. I guess its hard to articulate this feeling.
