New Year, Old Me

As it stands, I am 6' tall and 185 pounds; exactly the same dimensions that I was 10 years ago.  My abs are slightly less Usher-like but still, not bad for 36 years of age.  needless to say that weight loss isn't my New Year's ambition.

It took me a minute to think about what I really wanted in the New Year and of all the things that I thought of, most of it was a piece of me I'd lost in the last couple of decades.  With that in mind, here are some old year resolutions that I hope to keep in the one seven.

1)  Pretend to be balling

Once upon a time, if I hit payday with $200 in my account it was time to turn the fuck up.  Nowadays it's time to re-evaluate my spending.  How did that happen?  It was probably because I have a wife that comes up with the most creative ways to cost me 100 bones but it could be that I have a different concept of money now.  I want to build my family a fortune and triple digits just ain't gonna do it.  Of course, there are two options that I have.  Spend less and earn more.  The video game budget shalt not suffer so I suppose I better get back on the job hunt or just be satisfied with the plethora of nickles that I have to rub together.

2)  Give less fucks

I was driving to work the other day; thinking about how late I was and it dawned on me that I never used to care about such trivialities as the first seven (to twenty) minutes of work.  I don't do shit that early anyway.  I'm not sure when i started giving such random fucks but that seriously needs to stop.  It's raising my blood pressure.

3)  Write more

I enjoy writing because it lets me stand on my soapbox and rage against the dying of the light.  I still think about a great many things but even when I think I've struck blogger gold, I go home and play video games.  Of course, I forget the fleeting moment of genius and wonder what I have to do stop getting shot in the back every time I fucking spawn on Call of Duty.  This year, I gotta remember how great it is to take shots at people that don't respawn behind you.

4)  Curse

Because fuck it.  It's more fun and sometimes 'bitch ass nigga' is just right term to use for these bitch ass, fuck ass, retarded as niggas.

5)  Go for the drawls

At some time last year I created a baby.  Such a thing has made me a billionteen less likely to skeet for the sky.  But, I remember a time when just sheer success of getting it in made all the strike outs worth it.  Since I'm married to woman that isn't a battered wife, going for the drawls isn't exactly as successful as one may hope but I have to remember the thrill of the game.  Also I have to get my balls clipped...

6)  Be proud

Lastly, I need to get back to being proud of my underachieving, broke ass self.  I'm not in jail and gainfully employed and there are a lot of people that can't say both of those things.  I try my ass off and even when I fail, you have to have tried to fly to fall.  I have to remember to keep my skinny chest puffed out even when I got 2 of 3 women in the house crying and my car is giving a death wheeze in the driveway.  I've gotten this far and fuck it, I ain't dead yet.


This is going to be a regressive year in America so why shouldn't I get back to the old Cogito that drank Jose Cuervo from the bottle and ate pussy in cars?  It appears that world plans on burning anyway and just like The Joker's plastic surgeon used to say, If you gotta go, go with a smile.

I wish I was a super hero.  Even at this age I have delusions of saving people that far too often don't want to be saved. Seriously, how many stupid people can one city have?  That's not even counting all the people with Confederate flags on their cars or worse, Mitt Romney bumper stickers.  Those people just need to be slapped.  There are people in this city that still think drive by shootings are viable options to settling disputes that started on facebook... Fucking FACEBOOK.  Shooting these people would be counter productive and hypocritical but I do think someone should at least make an attempt to turn these people into useful members of society.  When that doesn't work, beat those assholes into submission.  Brutality worked during slavery and that had zero moral grounding.  I support routine beatings of people that obviously deserve it. First example: Sexual predators.  Something ridiculous, like 1 in 4 women are sexually ass...

Maury must be stopped. No one has profited more from Black people being ignorant than he.   I know the old saying: “Mama’s baby, Papa’s maybe.” But, contrary to popular belief, Black men love their children.   Everyone loves children.   Even if Black men realize that they aren’t bringing much to a household, they know that there is magic there.   That magic might be scary, like all magic, but it’s there.   There isn’t much difference between the love that develops between a man and a child with his D.N.A.   and a man that a child that he has raised. I am my father’s son.   No, I’m not light skinned or a hustler, but I laugh when I hear something funny.   I’ll sit on a porch and dink liquor all Saturday morning.   My toes are extraordinarily long (just like his).   I will see a beautiful woman and take notice just because I am a man and that’s what a man does.   My dad raised me well. When you see a Black man on Maury, y...

Uncle Tom is Back!!!!

and that nigga must be stopped! There has been a rash of Black Men in the last few years that have surged ahead in the fight to bring back right wing America.  It started with Clarence Thomas.  He scraped and bowed his way all the way to the Supreme Court.  We thought that was bad back in the day but oh no, it was only the beginning of the new black right wing. I should back up.  Black America has been inherently Conservative for a long time.  The reason being is that the Black church, the community's traditional leader, is inherently conservative.  Most of our leaders have come from the church and so stand against things like homosexuality, pre-marital sex and the right to an abortion. Luckily, most black people realized that right wing politics and conservative beliefs don't usually end well for the Black community.  By the mid '60s, the republican party had virtually abandoned Black voters so we migrated to the democratic party.  The dems...
