Been feeling kinda down today... Probably because I am internalizing the feelings of others again... I really wish I could learn how to turn it off...I'm headed back to the city tonight, the china bus shall be my bed for 6 hours smh... The city is cold, maybe I shouldn't have stayed away so long, I hope he forgives me... I leave you with this gorgeous Adele song...

Jesus Riding Shotgun...
By Mr. Joshua Bennett...
I've been planning this review since October but with school, travel and family gatherings I've fallen slightly behind... If you're new to my blog then go back about 120 posts or something like that and you will find my profession of love and admiration for this young man's mastery of his craft... And my love for the way he squints when he smiles but I digress, I want to make this as un-creepy as possible lol... After a shipping snafu and having to wait until thanksgiving break for my book I read this bad boy in one sitting... And I'm currently using my Lupe Fiasco concert ticket as a bookmark...
Contents:
Flying With Icarus
Black Boy
Dilla as my DeLorean
Sophomore Year
10 Things I Want to Say to a Black Woman
Bacon Cheeseburger With Fries
Father's Day
Jesus Riding Shotgun
Swings
Carbon Copy
Eulogy For Youth
Derrick
Ultraviolet
Open Letter to Lil' Wayne
Tamara's Opus
I absolutely love this book it's the 4th book of poems I own and the 2nd I purchased myself, all I can say is, money well spent...
10 things made my eyes well up, it's amazing that in this age of disrespect among men and women something of such beauty can exist...
"When I was born/My mother's smile was so bright/It knocked the air from my lungs/and I haven't been able to breathe right since"...
Who knew young men still thought this way or even had the courage to commit it to paper...
I've posted a live performance of "Derrick" before...
Eulogy For Youth is beyond words, he says everything we are either afraid to or can't think of a way to communicate to one another...
"Swings" had me feeling all girly and such, this quote in particular...
"I want to hold you so tightly/that my fingertips etch guitar notes into your stomach/until your spine becomes the neck/and your ribs transform into strings/I've mastered every chord of your contours/and we make music of our own"... Tell me he isn't absolutely amazing... That's all the waffling on I can do for now... Make the investment and buy the book you will not regret it... And if YOU read this, Hampton University needs your presence King...

Dear Derrick Rose,
I love you and everything but your team is horrible... How do you let a member of the opposing team tuck the ball under his arm and tie his shoe without even attempting to make a steal?... Smh I need to find a new third string team.... BOO

Ignorance Is Your New Best Friend...
Just watch...
... *Sets up my soapbox*.... Wake the fuck up folks, what your born with isn't bad or less desirable unless you think so... I feel for people who think this but more for the people they emotionally scar with their judgments... It's not cool... And if you believe in God and all that, do you think he made a mistake by giving black folks kinky, curly, nappy hair?... If you don't then why is what a person is born with that is healthy and unique not good enough?
P.S. Fellas don't be mad if a chick spends the night and you wake up with little broken hairs all over your pillow and sink
Okay ranting done... These kids have upset my soul... Why would you disrespect your mother like that young lady smh...

This joint CANNOT be shown on regular television, this is something made for BET Uncut (RIP) lol... I think I may have to find a class because these girls are in great shape...Lol I kid, I kid... Side Note: All this girl on girl action is slightly off putting

All Things Considered...
I'm a decent person... But If I see one more lovey dovey statement I'm gonna scissor kick someone in the back of the head... Apparently my sis thinks I'm awkward socially but the truth is I'm emotionally guarded, I've seen the madness of little boys trying so hard to be everything that no one is anyway... They forget to respect the altars at which they sacrifice their bodies... Why is it that men and women respect the member of the opposite sex Above them and below them but forget those next to them... Running game on "Hoes" or "Tellin' them hoes where the party is so they can get drunk and felt up" is not and never will be cool... Think about it this way, at some point another dude was saying the same thing about your mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, hell even your daughter... If you wouldn't want anyone saying these things to them then don't say it to anyone's family... Ladies DO NOT use and mistreat men unless you are fine with your father, grandfather, uncle or son having his pride and heart tied to a bullet train at top speed... Respect folks, it should be a large part of your life... Also pay a stranger a compliment every so often it will make you both happy...
I think I ate a bad muffin, no bueno, my tummy is not happy

Just Tell Me What You Want...
... I'm not a mind reader son... I don't know why I'm even writing this shit right now but Facebook can piss you off sometimes, and that's how fuckers get deleted... Yo J, I'm happy for you and Imma let you finish, but WTF was the point of talking to me for 1.5 years, you knew I wasn't smashing you from jump homeboy... And texting me to come over should not happen if you "Love Your Girl" so damn much ugh... No good fools like you are the reason women end up so jaded... Ahhh I gotta admit the deletions felt good as hell, I've never deleted a number from my phone... Thankfully I have a decent head on my shoulders and the good sense not to put too much focus on a homie in any emotional capacity... I'm straight now... Just had to vent a little bit

Realizations....
... I am attracted to a wide variety of guys, but they all seem so unattainable... Maybe I should smile @ them every once in a while to cut the stern gaze that has become my trademark... There are about 4 guys in my dorm alone that I would talk to, no questions asked... Most others are just seen in passing... But SB is like the holy grail of unattainable lust, I long to trace my name in the sweat on his back from our... Dude is that bad... I'm actually trying to clone him, I'm using LB as a base model lol, probably won't work too well but it's worth a shot... I plan to get back on my writing asap this break was long needed... Twilight this weekend with the little sis and a Rugrats season 1 marathon as the itis sets in on thursday... Off to make hot chocolate... Later folks

Omega Soul...
...I went to the Omega Psi Phi open mic a few hours ago... Speechless man, I go to school with some immensely talented people... My girl Te'mi sang a song that brought me to tears about our fallen classmates Theo and Randy, it just so happens that today makes 3 months that I lost my angel so I was going through it in the student center... My fave sanging Bruh did his thing, smh he is so fine... Erica 'Riva' Buddington of Def Poetry fame and recent HU alum blessed the stage and RIPPED IT... We have a ton of singers, rappers and dope-tastic poets out here, and the house band was on point as always... I hope they keep open mic's going on all year they're a welcome escape from the books... Party on friday night...Might make an appearance and wind to a couple songs... Rolling dolo as usual... I got homework to do so I'll hit ya'll later, I'm feeling all inspired and shit lol

Vampire College? Yes please...
...Ohh MTV how you are trying to redeem yourself to me lol... I have gotten sucked into this Valemont show/ Alternative Reality Game... I mean it's about a freaking COLLEGE FOR VAMPIRES!!!... And you know how I love vampire legends, movies, shows, basically anything having to do with the lore of the vamp... This show takes some of the basic vamp understandings and turns them on their ear, in a good way... It would take absolutely too long for me to explain the awesomeness to you... You have to watch it, there are 35 mini episodes ranging from 2-5 minutes each in length, it's quite fascinating... They have some bad white boys on that show too Eric, Sebastian, Gabriel and Leonardo maybe it's the vampire sex appeal oozing out of the screen, I don't care lol, I diggs them hard body.

...Black Guys... How are you going to try and get me to come see you but you have a GF?..I don't know the girl but i'm sure she wouldn't appreciate you texting me on some "lets chill" shit... Like really?.. I've been cool on you since we last saw each other, why do you think I haven't called or texted in over 2 months... Do better homeboy... Niggas is slippin... You can't Game me baby...
I swear I need smarter guys in my life smh... Just because I'm younger than you doesn't mean that I was born yesterday.

T. Swift...
... So I've been hearing a lot of shit about the country music awards, frankly I don't care about country but "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood is my jam... Apparently Taylor Swift went in and won mad awards and something called a Winona Judd is tight... In my opinion Taylor only won because of the whole "Save America, Kanye is evil backlash"... If you've seen Harold and Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay, you know the humor in the statement if you didn't "little white girl=America" and you don't want America to be raped lmao... Not to take anything away from her but honestly, a lot of people agree with Ye and had NO IDEA who you were or what you did before Mr. West SHAT on your accomplishment that you really didn't even deserve... Just my 2 cents on the situation... Later folks...
BT-Dub, I have 10 followers on this sumbitch and only 2 of ya'll have ever commented what's up with that? I even had a non-follower comment... Come on son

Complexity...
... So I've been talking to one of my Homies from high school for a min and intelligent convo with a male is making me think about some things...Here are my thoughts in list form...
I trust selectively but when I do trust, I go full tilt...
I am slightly intimidating but hey, thats just my expression learn to love it...
I need more emotional outlets, I've let my writing fall by the wayside because of class, I'll get it back, I promise...
My humor is understood by few, it may even offend some people...
I speak in Movie quotes with my little sister any my homie MissK... Don't judge me...
My heart is heavy, this black hole is no bueno...
I say "good shit" and "no bueno"... A LOT...
I make up words on the daily, my lexicon will body yours...
I aspire to a lot... I just hope that i make it... Dr. SkyB and shit...
My future home must have a sun room or screened in porch or something so I can sit in the rain and not get wet...
I want to live in Seattle at some point in my life, can you say RAIN...
Although my dream home would be in Connecticut, Soho. or the LES...
I like the rain, like a bunches, it's soothing, almost like it's wiping your slate clean...
I Love hard, from friends to family, SO's, and heroes, I go IN for those I care about...
I feel naked without my KhaiPod Yes I named my iPod so what?...
Music has a very weird effect on me... I LOVE it though
I Love my name... Mom Dukes got it right with this one...
My personality is forked in several different directions, very few know about me in my entirety...
I long for more intimate relationships, not just the romantic kind...
I am way more adept at listening than talking, but i can write you under the table...
Public speaking and the attention it warrants is my Kryptonite... Seriously...
I am horrible at taking my own advice...
I need to put myself out there more...
I really like men, I think the universe was lookin out for me when they popped up...
I have simple requests, but the simplicity throws some guys for a loop...
Love me, Communicate with me, reason with me, call me on my bullshit but be nice about it lol, make me feel like everything is okay even when the sky is falling down around us and I'll do the same for you...
I want to go to poetry clubs and slams like every weekend...
And a strip club once in my life, I wanna know what all the fuss is about...
I Love my niece and nephew but can only babysit in small doses...
I'm afraid of having kids because there is so much I want them to learn before the world teaches them otherwise...
I think child beauty pageants are just as bad as child prostitution...
I fuss over my childrens future names on the reg, it's just a quirk...
I have a lot of quirks...
My brain hurts and my fingers are tired... I'm about to watch Kim Possible and fall asleep...
If you took the time to read this, I Love you too

So it's Monsooning outside and it's highly likely that i will be fightting the wind, rain and my umbrella on the way to class tomorrow... HU Blows son, do better... Also found out I'm pretty much enrolled @ a freakin crime scene... Armed robbery, petty thefts, rape...Honestly, this late class I have might get skipped, I refused to be attacked over a systems of psych class son...
Anywho... I kidnapped the following from a Fbook friends note "18 pieces of me"... Super mega points for any1 that can tell me who I kidnapped this from

____________________________________
Wasn't even going to do this, but i was pressured by Urban Word fam and inspired by the vulnerability I've seen in the notes I am tagged in. I'm going to break the rules at the end but I don't care.I'm even tagging 19 people, son! Anyways, I have the utmost respect for all of you brave, beautiful souls for undertaking this endeavor. Please welcome my piece of the puzzle with open arms.
1. The truest thing I know is that God is real. I'm far too hesitant to write, speak or act on my faith in those moments where it is most crucial that I do. Hopefully this is a first step.
2. Honest poems are hard to come by nowadays. I'm growing rather adept at making things sound pretty and it's an arduous process trying to differentiate between truth and art, if such a boundary even exists.
3. My nephew just fell asleep in my arms. Most complete I've felt in a long time.
4. I'm working on the Black male feminist thing. I really am, promise. It's hard to make theory match praxis when it's so easy to falter and receive no negative feedback for it. Male privilege is one of the most nefarious forces I know. It's in my bones; wrapped in my skin and smile and I'm trying my best to fight it. I'll do better. For all of us.
5. Celibacy is no joke. Shout out to my fellow Kings. And my Queens. You know who you are.
6. I have this habit of falling in love with my friends. It's a double-edged sword. I hope my wife is my homie as well; that we watch football together and go to poetry cafes with the kids. I hope that she reminds me of all three of my mothers, and that she treats me the way she treats sacred things.
7. Rocky Road ice cream? Yeah!
8. I can't imagine being anything other than a teacher. To do otherwise would be to waste a gift and disrespect all who served as inspirations; imbuing me with the language, insight and knowledge to make real connections with others, to move mountains.
9. I can't stand "real" men. Masculinity is trash. Go cry in a corner, write in a diary, hug your mom. Please. I've felt the painful consequences of this posturing for too long; seen fragile men who never should have been told to be anything else in the first place crack under the weight of our flawed expectations. Let our boys paint. Let them wear skinny jeans and read Ellison. However soft spoken or uncoordinated, leave them be. If you don't, you and me will have a serious problem.
10. I'm very insecure about my writing; disturbingly so.
11. I hope that my work is relevant when I'm 30; that i don't wake up and all of a sudden nothing i wrote still resonates with those who have seen me before. I fear that this may be all there is sometimes. Right now. I fear for the future though it excites me, drawing me in with its promises of beards and electric bills and children. I want to be a cool adult. A scholar-poet my kids brag about. I hope you remember me.
12. I bought a Blackberry because I tried to get this girl's number at a party and she laughed when i pulled out my busted flip phone. I was tight. Had to upgrade.
13. I let achievements define me sometimes. IWPS was a fleeting moment where they didn't. I need more moments like that, where the world's perception doesn't matter and its just me and my heart, slugging it out like they used to in the old days. Bare-knuckled and bloody. Let me be that free again.
14. I worry sometimes that I will wake and my gifts will be gone. Freestyling, poetry, the whole shabang. Illogical, I know. Still real. Gotta fight that a little harder.
15. I want to write at least 10 books before I go Home. At least. A couple academic texts, some books of poetry, an autobiography, a memoir, and finally a book of 100 love sonnets, all written for my wife. Like Neruda, you know? I think it'd be a great goodbye present. A testament to our storybook life and all of the pain and passion contained therein.
16. I'm trying to adopt at least 1 child. Too many kids without homes, ya'll.
17. Before I met Alysia, i thought seeing the world in metaphor meant I was crazy. Between her, UW, Excelano and Philly Youth Slam I now know that such vision merely makes me human and, more importantly, part of a family.
18. Time is fleeting. I want to spend it with those I love most. Hold me tight.
Anywho... I kidnapped the following from a Fbook friends note "18 pieces of me"... Super mega points for any1 that can tell me who I kidnapped this from

12. I bought a Blackberry because I tried to get this girl's number at a party and she laughed when i pulled out my busted flip phone. I was tight. Had to upgrade.
13. I let achievements define me sometimes. IWPS was a fleeting moment where they didn't. I need more moments like that, where the world's perception doesn't matter and its just me and my heart, slugging it out like they used to in the old days. Bare-knuckled and bloody. Let me be that free again.
14. I worry sometimes that I will wake and my gifts will be gone. Freestyling, poetry, the whole shabang. Illogical, I know. Still real. Gotta fight that a little harder.
15. I want to write at least 10 books before I go Home. At least. A couple academic texts, some books of poetry, an autobiography, a memoir, and finally a book of 100 love sonnets, all written for my wife. Like Neruda, you know? I think it'd be a great goodbye present. A testament to our storybook life and all of the pain and passion contained therein.
16. I'm trying to adopt at least 1 child. Too many kids without homes, ya'll.
17. Before I met Alysia, i thought seeing the world in metaphor meant I was crazy. Between her, UW, Excelano and Philly Youth Slam I now know that such vision merely makes me human and, more importantly, part of a family.
18. Time is fleeting. I want to spend it with those I love most. Hold me tight.

Bad Romance...
Ms. Germanotta a.k.a Lady Gaga is a strange, strange puppy... However I do dig her music, Beautiful Dirty Rich and Paparazzi are my songs... She is eclectic like shit... Her videos are odd mini movies and I often end up confused after the first viewing but the songs are good and catchy... All in all I consider myself a Gaga fan man or not lol... BT-dub Her ink is BAD

Oh Basketball how I love thee... Currently watching the Heat do damage to the Wizards, while checking the Magic-Suns score online... This is the best time of the year save for play-off season but that's a gift and curse made evident by past posts during last years play offs but i digress... Wade is getting off tonight though, that's ma baby... They better make the freakin play offs this year or Wade is leaving and I'm adopting the Magic as my new team... Later folks

... So, I'm sure I'll take shots for this one but I don't care... I think Shwayze is sexy... Like forreal... When Buzzin dropped 2 years ago I liked the song and found the skinny black guy from Cali with the fro kinda interesting... This new video for the track Take You Home... MAN... My suspicions were right, he's definitely a Hottie McHotHot... And that new Fro-hawk-y thing he has goin on is Smexxy... Yo Aaron Smith, what's good?

I Quit...
... So tired of turning my self inside out to remove the stench of the lies I tell to keep myself sane... Enlightening conversations with male counterparts just reassure me that finding someone to date is as impossible as keeping Tommy Pickles in a playpen... I look unapproachable, I never smile, I rarely speak... I'm sick of bullshit, I have no reason to smile, I have nothing to say... Engage me in intelligent conversation and I will respond but The "Ay Ma" and "Yo excuse me" cat calls have jaded me... It's baffling the lack of genuinely intellectual people I come across in college... If you think that all black women don't want to be approached you have a problem... I understand that the females so busy trying to be Diva's shut you down on a regular basis but instead of looking for a "long haired, thick red-bone" wanna be Beyonce... Look past the superficial and find yourself a Queen... Not a Queen Bitch... But a Woman that respects herself enough not to be bothered with boys to busy quoting Lil' Wayne to remember that they are King's... She is not an easy conquest but don't you want someone to challenge you? Or are so accustomed to the American way of the fast and easy? Beauty is subjective so theoretically everyone should be attractive to someone... Grow a pair and toughen up because life is hard and so are relationships... If u want something easy get a blow up doll or a hooker...

Dreams...
... A few mornings ago I had the strangest dream, it involved a guy I go to school with but don't really know, an auditorium of some sort that was semi crowded and knee buckling...
So for some reason I was up against the stage reading from a script, but the space between the stage and said guy was extremely narrow, long story short I ended up sitting in ol' dudes lap whilst I read my piece, there may or may not have been some waist winding involved... I stand up but my lower half is obscured by his body, he grabs my waist and plants the softest yet firmest most passionate kisses ever right between my back dimples (I know I'm not the only person with those right???) and my knees buckle and I'm back in his lap and he keeps kissing my back moving higher and higher as I descend..Then he asks about some books I was supposed to send him... Then I woke up... Shit just felt way to real, like I felt my knees give way and shivers flow up my spine... Now I realize, I need that passion and slight sneakiness... Where are you Love???
~Boogie~

So I'm Weird and....
I've been a big fan of Vampire movies (no twilight) since I was knee high to a grasshopper... Mom never censored what I watched so I was into them heavy... Recently they have begun to lose their bite (pun intended) like in twilight wtf kind of immortal sparkles like a Vegas showgirls draws when exposed to sunlight... That fucker is supposed to burst into magnificent FLAMES (like Godrick on trueblood)... I do really like Trueblood though...Eric is fuckin hot and the story lines are decent... And Lafayette is my Booski... But I digress I'm gonna be a Vampire for Halloween this year... Black silk blouse, black heels, dark skinny jeans, and the cold expression I'm known for as well as these babies from Vampfangs.com
It's gonna be boss scaring the hell out of trick or treaters... But the twilight freaks might start to follow me lmao... If they work well I may venture out to a few parties in this get-up... I'll def post pics for you guys once I get them fitted properly and when I get dressed that day...

Dear Pharrell...
If wealth is of the heart and the mind, why do I have to dig so deep into my pockets to wear your clothes?
Psychological Vents...
In a society where vulnerability is most often taken as a sign of weakness, I want to be able to wear my heart on my T's every once in a while... Being constantly cold is eating me up inside... I want to be able to tell others my fears without the risk out them being used against me, I want to scream from the rooftops that I fear failure, disappointing my family and ending up alone more than anything... I'm tired of keeping my guard up constantly and getting others before they get me... I want to spill my soul on a page for the world to see with no regrets... My empathy and sensitivity are needed for my future field of work, but it's hard to foster them while trying to keep the electrical fences around my mushy parts working... I'm just tired... It's been said that Libras need emotional connections and I'm starting to think that's true, even though I hate to admit it... I must find more people that hold my interests... I'm really starting to consider that book...

I'm comfortable enough in my femininity to say DAMN... Ol' girl was workin' hard for that lil bit of money... She climbed up that pole using the BACKS OF HER KNEES, what part of the game is that?... I have so many unanswered questions, why were there so many folks in that strip club all bunched up to see this chick? Why was she the only girl on the stage? Where they do that at?

I read the Married to the Mob blog religiously... And Tabatha keeps me cracking up, These pics were taken by her Brother The 13th Witness, his style is so hyper realistic... This is MY New York. The dirty gritty tough city that birthed me and my crazy ass personality... His ability to capture the NY I see is amazing... Tourists just won't get it unless they have close ties with someone that can take them into the depths of the city to discover it's true beauty... When I get a house of my own, his work will most definitely be displayed.I'll be home soon...

You Want Me To Do What ?
So my Social Psych class was canceled today and I decided to loaf and watch TV, and I stumbled upon Wife Swap... This show normally tickles me because of the juxtaposition of the families, but for some reason this episode pissed me off... Let me set the scene for you, Eccentric Middle ages obsessed male centered family of Anglo Saxons and A super strict yet somehow social Renaissance woman run household... It sounds like it would be rather entertaining, not really.
The Middle ages family has home schooled children and dress in ridiculous outfits, they also lack a home phone and friends outside of the family. The father only interacts with his children on weekends and when they do have family time it always the fathers choice of activity... On the other side the Afram family is run by a woman that substitute teaches, works in a restaurant and make sure her children respect her authority. The father works the night shift and spends the day caring for his children and the house hold...
My issue is with the blatant disregard for equally sharing gender role related activities... In one family the father is treated as supreme ruler and the son's speaks for his sister... and on the other hand the father does all of the home maintenance and childcare... What I don't understand is why can't people share roles, I've never been an advocate of women staying in the house and rearing the children while an man goes out and earns a living. Conversely a man shouldn't spend all of his time doing house hold chores, basically emasculating him... This is the 21st century I will not push my dreams aside and cater to those of my SO while he goes out and makes the bread for the fam... But I will not take a mate that bends to my every whim and spends all of his time doing things that we should share. I need a SO that stands up to me the same way I do to him... I'm not however, condoning disrespect in any form but traditional gender roles are archaic and turning them on their ear is just as bad...
It's okay to make your SO feel like royalty but don't forget that you're a Queen/King in the process
Reevaluate your relationships people, if you seek a mate that you can easily dominate you have a problem my friend... Equality is key

Freudian Slips...
... Not quite
If psychology and biology got together and had Rosemary's baby, said baby would be Physiological Psychology... I really hate that class, I'm beastly @ Psych and Bio but together it's a whole other animal... My Prof. really isn't making it any easier, hell she's confused too... But other than probably failing the quiz I took today school is pretty boss, not a lot of work and I have 3 really down to earth yet informative and engaging professors... But that's not what I'm here to talk about...This post is about.... Yep you guessed it, the more masculine sex...
I love men, like I REALLY love men, the good ones are the Bee's Knees... I also love tattoo's... A Lot... Put those together and BAM... It can get excruciatingly sexy... I'm partial to upper arm ink, you know the kind, the ones that play peek-a-boo with short sleeve T's *Sigh*... As long as it's not anything ridiculous or meaning less like money or something I love 'em... Not to say that I only go for marked up guys but I really like ink... I've noticed I've been drawn to slimmer guys as of late, and the cool nerd types... I think I'm obsessed with guys arms... Maybe because of the feeling of serenity one gets when being held tightly by the right one...
I wonder why people make lists of "must haves" or "must look likes" for potential partners but possess none of the attributes on their own lists... Also why don't more couples work out together? I think it'd be hot to get all hot and sweaty with an S/O in a non sexual way... It's good for both of you... Obesity is real people, plus it would be loads more fun to compete against your Honey Bun for favors or rewards... It'll keep things interesting and keep you attractive to one another...
On that Note I think I'll go for a run tonight...
Yeah
Anyone wanna join me ?

From the Edges of My Mind...
I realized I can't sit behind you in class anymore... I lose my focus tracing the nail marks on the backs of your arms... Welts raised proudly like tribal scarifications... Peeking from underneath your sleeves like secrets... That giant purple mark on your Adams apple is a toughie to explain though...

BTW, watch his kanYe dance and tell me he isn't spot on my dude.

Funniest Thing I've Read in a While...
The only thing i don't agree with is the point about writing in cursive, Knowing how to sign your name is an important life skill folks...
-I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can
think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell
my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves
me.
-Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you
realize you're wrong.
-I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to
have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
sticks when they've invented the lighter?
-Have you ever been walking down the street and realized that you're
going in the complete opposite direction of where you are supposed to
be going? But instead of just turning a 180 and walking back in the
direction from which you came, you have to first do something like
check your watch or phone or make a grand arm gesture and mutter to
yourself to ensure that no one in the surrounding area thinks you're
crazy by randomly switching directions on the sidewalk.
-That's enough, Nickelback.
-I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was
younger.
-Is it just me, or are 80% of the people in the "people you may know"
feature on Facebook people that I do know, but I deliberately choose
not to be friends with?
-Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it
wouldn't
work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically
fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all
know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards
or FAQ's. We just figured it out. Today's kids are soft.
-There is a great need for sarcasm font.
-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the hell was going on when I first
saw it.
-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually
becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting
90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's
laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little
bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the
only one who really, really gets it.
-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than
take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear
your computer history if you die.
-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to
finish a text.
- A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the
spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
- Was learning cursive really necessary?
- Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to
say".
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and
hunger.
- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying.
- Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart",
all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up
to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in'
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and
said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"
-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each
other?
- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the
person died.
- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water.
-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever.
- I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu'
to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an
overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."
-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
-Bad decisions make good stories
-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their
profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got
the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if
I do!
-Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring
would probably just be completely invisible.
-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go
around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly
nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be
a problem....
-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work
when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything
productive for the rest of the day.
-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't
want to have to restart my collection.
-There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are
going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
-I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I
swear I did not make any changes to.
-"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this
ever.
-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people
watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will
they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't
watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and
leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and
goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone
and run away?
-I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not
seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
-When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she
hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light
internet stalking.
-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle,
then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising
speed for pedophiles...
- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers,
but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still
not know what time it is.
-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
answer when they call.
-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to
with it.
-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the
Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze
button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time
every time...
-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would
happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they
drive behind obeys the speed limit.
-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or
Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.
-I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.
-More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can
think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell
my own story that's not only better, but also more directly involves
me.

-There is a great need for sarcasm font.
-Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and
suddenly realize I had no idea what the hell was going on when I first
saw it.
-I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually
becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting
90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's
laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little
bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still the
only one who really, really gets it.
-How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
-I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than
take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
- I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear
your computer history if you die.
-The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to
finish a text.
- A recent study has shown that playing beer pong contributes to the
spread of mono and the flu. Yeah, if you suck at it.
- Was learning cursive really necessary?
- Lol has gone from meaning, "laugh out loud" to "I have nothing else to
say".
- I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and
hunger.
- Answering the same letter three times or more in a row on a Scantron
test is absolutely petrifying.
- Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart",
all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
- How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod
and smile because you still didn't hear what they said?
- I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars teams up
to prevent a dick from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers!
- Every time I have to spell a word over the phone using 'as in'
examples, I will undoubtedly draw a blank and sound like a complete
idiot. Today I had to spell my boss's last name to an attorney and
said "Yes that's G as in...(10 second lapse)..ummm...Goonies"
-What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each
other?
- While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and
instinctively swerved to avoid it...thanks Mario Kart.
- MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I
know how to get out of my neighborhood.
- Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the
person died.
- I find it hard to believe there are actually people who get in the
shower first and THEN turn on the water.
-Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty,
and you can wear them forever.
- I would like to officially coin the phrase 'catching the swine flu'
to be used as a way to make fun of a friend for hooking up with an
overweight woman. Example: "Dave caught the swine flu last night."
-I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
-Bad decisions make good stories
-Whenever I'm Facebook stalking someone and I find out that their
profile is public I feel like a kid on Christmas morning who just got
the Red Ryder BB gun that I always wanted. 546 pictures? Don't mind if
I do!
-Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
-If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring
would probably just be completely invisible.
-Why is it that during an ice-breaker, when the whole room has to go
around and say their name and where they are from, I get so incredibly
nervous? Like I know my name, I know where I'm from, this shouldn't be
a problem....
-You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work
when you've made up your mind that you just aren't doing anything
productive for the rest of the day.
-Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after DVDs? I don't
want to have to restart my collection.
-There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are
going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.
-I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me
if I want to save any changes to my ten page research paper that I
swear I did not make any changes to.
-"Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never wash this
ever.
-I hate being the one with the remote in a room full of people
watching TV. There's so much pressure. 'I love this show, but will
they judge me if I keep it on? I bet everyone is wishing we weren't
watching this. It's only a matter of time before they all get up and
leave the room. Will we still be friends after this?'
-I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello?
Dammit!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and
goes to voicemail. What'd you do after I didn't answer? Drop the phone
and run away?
-I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not
seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.
-When I meet a new girl, I'm terrified of mentioning something she
hasn't already told me but that I have learned from some light
internet stalking.
-I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it's on shuffle,
then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.
-Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising
speed for pedophiles...
- As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers,
but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate cyclists.
-Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still
not know what time it is.
-It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.
-I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to
answer when they call.
-Even if I knew your social security number, I wouldn't know what do to
with it.
-Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car
keys in a pocket, hitting the G-spot, and Pinning the Tail on the
Donkey - but I’d bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze
button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time
every time...
-My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day "Dad what would
happen if you ran over a ninja?" How the hell do I respond to that?
-I wonder if cops ever get pissed off at the fact that everyone they
drive behind obeys the speed limit.
-I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
-I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or
Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

It feels like I've been abandoned, left with an empty heart and a heavy conscience... My bed is almost as cold as you are...

Introspection is a Double Edged Sword, and I Think I Cut Myself...
I started classes last tuesday, and in my first class, Theories of Personality Development, I was given the hardest assignment of my academic career... 25 page research article had nothing on this seemingly simple task... I was asked to write a 4 page autobiography... I know your like WTF that's dumb easy, well it isn't for someone who spends way too much time dissecting the intricacies of her own life... I know introspection is needed but only to a certain point, and I passed that sucker about two years ago... Coming to college I got to spend an absurd amount of time alone, which I love because I've spent my entire life around my family but from that solitude came questions that I couldn't answer myself outright... The more inquiries I made the deeper into my own psyche I went, probably further than i should have gone but I love finding the bases of behaviors... There are some truths I hope to forget soon and some falsehoods I'm amazed I've maintained so long,all in all there really isn't much I'm willing to share... Especially with my Psych Professor via a simple writing assignment... My fears are what motivate me, but I realize I'm the only person holding me back... Time to take down the barbed wire fences and cage the wild boars surrounding myself...The ones around my heart can stay for now... I've yet to find a guy that could weather my, lets just say, multifaceted personality without giving up because "I'm too difficult"... If I was easy I'd be just like the birds I come across daily, on the pursuit of platinum plated bullshit instead of golden souls shining through innocent yet pain filled brilliant brown eyes (Like these)... Fancy cars overshadow minds that can twist the worlds languages into the most beautifully woven tapestries man has never seen, hidden in earthbound angels... Damn I'm rambling... I need to go study something...
I'm on the Pursuit of Happiness

That's New...
Saw this on the ground in a SC Walmart Parking lot
I'd be tight if someone took my parking spot too, but to leave a note is hilarious... If I was the spot stealer I would have kept the note as a trophy of some sort instead of throwing it on the ground... People are funny

I know some pretty awesome people...
...Just got this via aim
"do you know you will find your moon?"
I been feeling really basement as of late (props to Miss K for the lingo)... Basically feelin' like I'm inclined to spend the rest of my life dating idiots who aren't worth their weight in roofing tar while daydreaming of gorgeous intellectuals that ride in on enchanted pens and steal me away...I digress, but this simple sentence just BOOSTED MINE(saw dudes saying this shit on facebook and thought it was the funniest thing)...It rekindled my patience for finding what I need, which is hopefully the same as what I want but who knows...This life thing is confusing and my personality goes in more directions than Fabolous' teeth (I kid, I kid)... This journey should be fun...Signed the cynical, goofy, Jay-Z hating New Yorker, with a heart of gold and expression of stone...
Yeah
Thanks Jason
