c*ckblocking 101 and four other friendship red flags.

cockblocking

while the new freedom, raging hormones, omega jungle juice, and close living quarters usually turn coed college dormitories to ceaseless freshman freakfests, there’s always an unlucky woman or two who goes above and beyond the call of booty, their first semester sexploits making their name a synonym for hotivity their entire campus career.

for us it was angel, a busty canadian-jamaican whose “freshman fifteen” might have been how many guys she boned before christmas break.

because her close homegirl had my nose wide open from three extremely frustrating months of the mr. miyagi treatment, i never had much interest in being a notch on angels croutchless belt. still, we’d occasionally spend time studying together because of a class we shared, and one late winter night a chem 101 cram session slowly and subtly morphed into a fully clothed fluffer match.

we knew my roommate would be getting back to the suite shortly, so angel suggested that we move to her dorm because her roomie was staying the night with her bf. while walking to her room, we happen to pass by one of my teammates, who gives me one of those exaggerated “what the hell?” smirk/squints of jealous hate that assh*le harlemites are famous for.

he then proceeds to follow us to her room, invites himself in, and sits on her roommates bed reading a cosmo and talking about the lox while i’m shooting this ninja the sharpest eye daggers i can possibly muster. if looks could kill i would have murdered a mil

after an hour or so, angel (understandably) grew tired and told us she was going to bed.  we leave, and as soon as the door closes, he starts cracking up:

“my bad, son. i had to do it. i couldn’t let you get your rocks off before me. plus, i did you a favor anyway, b. you aint really wanna beat, i could see it in your eyes.”

so, if you’re keeping score, not only did he intentionally c*ck-block, he admitted to intentionally c*ck-blocking me, and had the audacity to give me a freakin rationale!!!

although i should have immediately cut him from the homie’s list because of his blatant g-code violation, i ignored the red flag and we stayed cool until our senior year, when i finally got tired of him trying to bag every single woman i had any type of sexual involvement with.

we all know about romantic relationship red flags, but what about our friends? watch barbie in the nutcracker online

along with the blatant c*ck block, here’s four other friend red flags that should make you run for your life

they just started selling pre-paid legal

from waterboarding to listening to a kid cudi freestyle, there’s many different ways to die slow. still, none of them compare to having to listen to a pre-paid legal sales pitch for five minutes every time you talk to your boy. i think the automatic “straight to voicemail” feature on new cell phones was devised for this single purpose.

on the plus side, it does make you pretty creative. i’ve devised at least 15 great responses to the “hey, how come you never pick up the phone anymore?” question you’ll inevitability get after awkwardly running into them at target. also, while in minute three of one of my friend’s sales pitches, i thought up three unique ways to murder him without anyone finding out.

they’re a terrible tipper

i know its a recession and all and cats are on budgets, but one consistently bad tipper has the power to make your entire crew pissed at each other, starting arguments over who’s gonna pay extra to make up for charlie the assclown’s perfunctory 2% gratuities.

they stink

everyone has had that friend who, for whatever reason, just can’t get their scent game quite right. it might not even be their fault, but if you continue to hang with the cat who smells like new jersey drive, after a while people are just gonna assume that both of you stink.

since its not nice to throw a balloon of bleach at them every time you see them, you should probably just end the friendship immediately. or, if you’re nice, introduce them to other, aroma deficient ex-friends so they can stink together.

they’re always fighting…and always losing

while there are many benefits to having a bruiser in your crew, being cool with someone who always gets their ass kicked is like having a bird poop on your funnel cake:  it doesn’t look too bad until you remember you’re about to eat sh*t

i know i’m missing a ton. people of vsb.com, any additions?

attn whores, i had a really close friend who would be mad cool-until a guy came around, then it was “ugh, i’m so hot i wish i was naked right now”

it never failed that the dude this was directed too and i would catch each other’s eye and one or both of us would crack up, it was the most obvious ploy for attn, it was comical.

until it got annoying, lol.

@overit, i’m sorry if i’m repeating, but i cannot stand competitive friends. one of my friends is into a lot of the art i’m into, and actively pursues it like me so of course i love to have some to talk to about my love for prisma color markers or acrylic vs. oil, problem is, she is always trying to be better. she told me straight up she has jealousy issues and is highly competitive, and i told her straight up to take that mess somewhere else or pretend like we don’t have this art thing in common.

@overit, look at you bringing back memories for me too.

right after i graduated from college, i was dating this chick with quite the bufuguly roommate. anyway…every time i’d roll thru their spot, the roommie always rocked this silky robe that was ever-so-form-fitting. like that joint laid down quite gently over her curves. so of course, i wasn’t allowed to be in a room with her by herself b/c of her clothing choices.

too bad she was bufugly or it wouldn’t have been so appalling to me. who want’s to see a mongoose all gussied up?

1. They don’t drink.

2. They don’t play any role in the stage play that is ‘The Crew’.

3. They always want you to invite your single folks but never know any to invite. In other words, we have a gathering and this person doesn’t know any men but is going through my phone tryna ick and choose which dudes she wants me to invite. Stack-Ho!

4. They are NEVER on time for shyt. This person doesn’t respect other folks’ time and probably just don’t give a damn.

5. They itemize the bill.

i keed. it’s only bad when you all out to a bar, and there’s the one friend who sits in the corner mean mugging at everyone else getting their drink on. i’m like, “why did you come??” —-> this doesn’t account for any designated driver situations btw none of my people drive (nyc)

Reply

Hostess Reply:

@puff, Yes. But the people I’m talking about don’t drink because they are hoping someone else, of the opposite sex gets tipsy enough to give them the time of the day.

Example: This one hoe–who got put out of the co-ed posse, had us believing she didn’t drink and was something of a church mouse. Well, we later found out that in the company of our girl’s husband, she was doing shots and offering belly shots. Da helle?

overit? Reply:

@Hostess, lol, clearly your experience with non drinking folk has not been a good one.

i find it interesting how things such as drinking and other acts have become deal breakers. i think the main thing is if the person who is not drinking can still have a good time and be just as uninhibited as the drinking folk, there is no problem.

Hostess Reply:

@Selah, I live in a drinking city. All of our gatherings involve a beverage or six. So if one person refuses to partake, I think they are sitting off to the side trying to do some sneaky shyt. Well, I don’t think. It’s happened. Damn. At least get a drink and babysit it. The only exception is if they have parents or grandparents who are alcoholics.

Panama Jackson Reply:

@Hostess, not sure i can totally agree. i mean, as a staunch advocate for drinking i’m total agreemance. however, i got compadres that don’t drink at all. i feel like as long as they aren’t arseholish about it and never say, “you drink too much” then they can come out and play.

the second you mention my attempts to see how quickly my face can meet the wood parquet, you got to go.

of course you really can’t go bc who’s going to drives us home. but i’ll be sure to berate you with my vicious rhetoric at a much later date.

One of my girls is always late for everything and it makes me NUTS.

Imagine getting ready for the club and being told you are leaving at 10:30 and not leaving until 1. I no longer come to her house to “get dressed” and now if they aren’t ready at 10:30 (which I know they aren’t), I won’t go.

I have a girlfriend who is always running an hour or two later than planned so I just use it to my advantage…I get to her house when I said I would and pre-party off her liquor until its time to go. You don’t want me dranking up your stock? Then you best be ready to go when you said you would be.

I can’t do it bc I don’t really drink (the taste gives me a weird chill) and I end up SLEEP.

@A-Town Genius, Personally, I’m cool with people who don’t drink as long as they don’t judge me drinking. I’m not a big drinker, but when I was out last weekend celebrating my birthday, one of my friends who doesn’t drink was shooting me dirty looks the whole night.

Reply

A-Town Genius Reply:

@Leila,

Nah,

No judgment here. Only time I could call myself coming close to judging someone is if they end up sloppy drunk every night. It’s cool every once in a while but I don’t think you should not be able to remember what you did last night everytime you go out. That’s just triflin.

This is a candidate for getting dropped from the crew. Not because they don’t drink. Because they are obviously have a touch of the Judgmental.

Gawlee. I totally feel your pain I’m always anywhere from 1hr-2hr late for everything except for classes and work. I think its a mindset that goes along with chronic procrastination. If someone tells me to meet them at 8pm, my mind automatically thinks “oh I could start getting read at 6:30pm” but then I really finish getting ready at 7:55pm and I still have an 1 hour plus change to drive. It happens too much. Being chronically late can destroy your life.

This is an issue for me. It isnt that I dont respect other people’s time. I think I just take for granted that I am just chilling with my friends and get kind of relaxed. I am under constant pressure to be on time for work, getting the kids to school, etc. This is the one time I can be easy & take my time. IT PISSES MY FRIENDS OFF. I am working on it.

LOL @ they stink. I got a boy that can’t control his sweat glands. Twenty minutes into every party and dude looks and smells like he just escaped from Shawshank. What makes it wild too is that he’s mad extroverted so he stays trying to hug up on girls, and be the lead man when attacking a female crew. Its kinda comical seeing their faces wince up when he gets all close trying to set the table.

I know I’m wrong for laughing, but it really is funny.

He knows about it too, I mean we don’t suggested every type of deodorant, homemade remedy and antiperspirant known to man. Dude just sweats like the spanish dude in that commercial. But thats my boy tho so what are you really gonna do? Can’t tell that ni99a to stay home.

This is the most perplexing principle since M equals M-C squared. It’s the same with folks with ozone depleting breath the one who is always all up in someone’s face…like why you gotta be that close in the first place, and furthermore you the LAST one that should be that close.

And he knows darn well what he smells like. I mean, a ninja’s smell don’t got ish to do with her personality…his personality could be dope…but it ain’t my fault I don’t wanna be the friend of someone who makes me dry-heave whenever I stand next to them. I’m thinking of my health…which is rational.

it was so embarassing, coz everyone looked at her like…. ‘you are NOT an okay bunny!’ and i’m sitting there thinking ‘ok, what was that for, girlfriend?’ it’s just unnecessary and counterproductive, coz it’s obvious what you’re doing, and you look childish.

LMAO. This is probably way more embarassing than having a kid who does this. Because even though parents don’t like the stares from their bratty kid whining, at least it is an attributed associated with children. A grown folk? Not so much.

I’d be all, “Um, she’s not mine…”. lol

The friend who never has any money….Yup they go out with you and have a funky good time with you but when its time to settle the bill they’re whistling dixie and there’s tumbleweeds blowing by.

The you ready to go friend…just got paid, friday night, party jumpin, feeling right but she’s ready to go home and now you gotta spend the rest of the night avoiding her.

The One-Upper friend…doesn’t matter what you do they did that and took it a step further. You won the powerball? They won twice. You went to Diddy’s white party? They co-hosted. You know the type, no matter what you did they did that and can tell you why what you did ain’t ish compared to what they’ve done.

The b!tchassed friend….the one who pops off at the mouth and gets the whole crew involved and if a fight breaks out so do they. What’s messed up is that you don’t realize they were nowhere to be found until the rehash/play by play with the rest of your peeps.

The here we go again friend…you don’t believe a word out of their mouth but they sure are fun.

The devil on your shoulder friend…the person who encourages your bad behavior all in the name of having a good time. Well I kinda like this friend but the wrong kind can be dangerous.

-fiending…for anything. I don’t mind that you, say, smoke, but quit acting like the thing you smoke is crill. Got to know when to put your “needs” on pause for a while until an appropriate time.

Whether he is being a comedian or hater at YOUR expense and is a ‘one upper friend’ as someone stated above.

If the attention ain’t on him or he feels you left him out…he’s gonna be rude and/or straight up lash out. If you check him on his dirt, he literally b*tches like he has PMS for weeks on end. Maybe much longer.

“everyone has had that friend who, for whatever reason, just can’t get their scent game quite right.”

It’s also bad when you’re the friend of someone whose best friend smells like that. And you want to tell your friend, but can’t quite find the words to say it … And you’re just wondering how the hell they do it/have done it for so long and they don’t smell.

my unfortunate addition is “they look like a Klingon.” Some people (read: women) like to think that having that ugly friend actually helps your game …but it hurts it. If you and your friend run into two guys, and your friend is busted, old dude’s homey is not going to want to take one for the team. That’s a beanball most guys I know will pass on. Sorry. You’d be better off stepping out by yourself.

Red Flags:
1. The one who’s consistently overestimating how many books they can get when you’re playing spades.
2. The one who’s always boosting you up to fight (the “I know you ain’t gonna take that -ish” instigating type) but ain’t nowhere to be found when the -ish goes down.
3. Any man with an abnormally large and high-set behind- a shelf booty brotha. While I don’t have any justification for this, something about it in general just makes me throw a flag up.

People with entitlement issues. You know, the ones who wonder WHY they got a ticket for parking in the handicapped spot. The ones who get extra mad when you go to the bar, its crowded and the bartender doesn’t stop in the middle of what they are doing to serve them because they arrived. Now they want to leave because the spot is whack.

People with measured response issues. The ones who will b*tch out a waitress when their order is wrong. Fool, you f*ckin up the food for the rest of us!!! The one who constantly wants to fight because someone is wearing the same pair of jeans they are.
Them: “How dare they wear True Religions. Only I can wear em. That wench! She knew I was going to wear them tonight!Imma fight/spill a drink on her.”
Me: “Uh, why? She doesn’t know you.”

Gluttons for punishmentThese people want you think they are being sacrificial and awesome, but they are really using the fact that they always take the L as a bargaining chip/reason to be self-righteous. The day will come when they want you to pony up for all the ‘favors’ they’ve done.

Latent self-identity issues. You know who these people are. They went Greek in undergrad and now their whole house is done in their colors and they are constantly talking about their org. Like to the point of SADDOWN. Or, they have a professional degree and never miss an opportunity to remind you they are a doctor or lawyer or professional lion tamer. Or they in a relationship and you see them morphing into their significant other. They’re going to drive you INSANE.

Willfully ignorant (not to be confused with IGnant— IG is awesome!) This is the person who JUST found out Michael Jackson died. Or, they are the person that doesn’t care about the Supreme Court Confirmations. Or, they don’t know that you lost your job because of some bullshiggidy… 3 weeks ago.The worst part about these people… they’ll want to jump in on the conversation after eavesdropping for a few minutes to get the Cliffs Notes version… then will have the NERVE to try and speak on the issue with authority. Fool, SHUT UP.

L-ing MBO because I know your pain with the pre paid legal mess. My cousin bamboozled me to going to two meetings by disguising them as a “family meeting.”

BTW- Your friend needed his a&& kicked.

RED FLAGS FOR those friends who:
1. Always have drama following them. Pretty soon, you may get caught up in it too.

2. Are your beauticians becauase they will always have you sitting in the shop longer than regular customers and you still have to pay full price or you only get $5 off.

3. Seems to have an enemy or someone “jealous” of them. 9.5 times out of 10, your friend is the problem.

Your story about the harlemite cat from college reminds me of my run ins whith NY cats back in my late teens. The dudes from NY I met at the time were some c*ckblocking haters. They also didn’t know how to act around women. I couldn’t understand how a city that made Wu-Tang Clan make these type of ninjas. My view of NY cats changed when I met my boy KB and his fam. These cats were cool. KB end up being one of my closest friends.

Friendship Red Flags

1) The habitual line stepper.
This person never understands boundaries. This is the person that takes ish without asking. You let them borrow your ish and they give it back f’ed up.

2) The self-preservationist
No matter what the situation this mofo is always trying to get over. Or they put themselves over you and the group in any situation.

3) The broke partier
The man or woman that always wants to have a good time at your expense. Not only do you they want you to pick them up but they want you to pay for their drinks or even pay their way inside.

2. Dudes who keep asking me when I’m getting married. Are you serious? I mean, I expect the women to, but guys?!? Like seriously, the only reason you’re married is because she got pregnant and you were not trying to deal with her father/brother/crazy uncle, etc. and child support. Ni**a, stop acting like you Heathcliff Huxtable. Fin.

3.People with low self esteem. It’s not my fault that my parents loved me more than yours. I have no hand in your self-esteem (cue Kat Williams). Get over it.

Also diarrhea of the mouth is a bad one…my name being Shaka, it wasn’t easy to really do any dirt in college since people knew who I was before I knew them.

Cheekie: I got a 99.5% on my chemistry midterm!! (addendum: this would never happen in reality)
Becky Buzzkill: Yeah, but maybe you should’ve shot for that extra half a point…it would’ve upped your GPA.

3. Leeches. Those who suck everything outta your life, from your wallet to your style.
Cheekie: I’m thinking about putting half of my paycheck into my savings account since I get a third check this month.
Lola Leech: Oh, speaking of which, I know I just asked you for money this morning and I’ll pay you pack whenever, but you got 250 bucks I can borrow until next century month?

The Flake. That person that never comes through. They say something and you just automatically keep it moving or throw it in the “We’ll see if that really happens” category.

One time in undergrad my bff and I had planned a trip for spring break with another friend of mine, J. Hotel reservations were made. Driving plans were being formulated. Money was being put to the side. Then J starts talking about how she isn’t sure she’s gonna go. Then she’s going. Then she not sure. And oh, she got this last minute invite to go visit her aunt and maybe she’ll do that instead.

I don’t remember all of the reasons now but I remember talking with her about the visit with the aunt and it wasn’t anything pertinent and I think the aunt had invited her ages ago and she never went and then AFTER already making plans with us decides she might wanna try and be a decent niece and go. never mind all the other holidays that were soon coming up and the fact that her aunt said she could come anytime.

My bff and I wound up not going because being poor college students at the time we couldn’t afford it without her share. That was one big example but J was always doing stuff that like. From small it doesn’t really matter just say you don’t want to stuff to other people are actually counting on you stuff. Drove me insane.

*The friend that has to CONSTANTLY be in contact with her mate. I am not hating on their relationship but if we are having a girls night out & you’ve gotten your permission slip signed and are out why do you have to keep calling and texting giving him status updates?

*The Freaky Friend.
I will admit to flirting (OK..I AM A BIG FLIRT) but this chic follows through on most of her flirtatious threats. She will go home with any & everybody!! It makes the rest of us look bad & we often get approached the same way that she does. I guess they think birds of a feather…..

*The Bad Dresser.
She alwasy shows up wearing some BS. We get out and she gets insecure about the outfit that she chose to wear. We have to spend the rest of the night telling her IT AINT THAT BAD because she is also the chic that always offers to drive LOL. We know that once her insecurity really kicks in that she will be READY TO GO!!

*The No Game Having Designated Driver (also The Bad Dresser)
She always offers to drive. It isnt that she doesnt drink but she is just a better drunk driver than some of us (really tacky & unsafe but true!). She has absolutely no game & when we go out she ends up sitting around and is always READY TO GO early. Especially once we leave her to go and have fun!!

*The Broke Friend.
I am not sure how she gets us EVERY TIME but she always ends up out with us with no money. Every time she either “forgets to go to the bank” or “just deposited a check” or some other lame excuse. I think she gets us because she is the person that ALWAYS comes up with the best ideas. She researches the weekend section etc. & knows about all the upcoming events. She is really in the know when it comes to things to do! So when she presents them we get excited, agree to attend but forget who we are dealing with. I guess we are paying for her research services.

*The Hypocritical Christian Friend.
I have friends from all walks of life & not all of us are Christians. We all get along until this chic decides that TODAY is the day she is gonna do her missionary work. Any other day she cusses like sailor, drinks like a fish & f**ks like a prositute!! The minute she hears a church song or gets some email forward then she starts up on how the rest of us are gonna burn!!

*The Six Degrees of Separation Friend.
You cant know anybody that she doesnt know. You cant metion a celebrity without her having some sort of link or connection to that person (“My mailman’s best friend baby mama’s dentist knows Oprah’s third cousin”). Some days we randomly make up people just for entertainment purposes & she will still make a connection.

LOL, in today’s day and age, a woman most def needs game. A lot men are either too stuck on themselves or shy to approach a lady these days. And a lot of ya’ll say you appreciate when a girl approaches you. So, yeah, we gotta have game, too. And besides, even if ya’ll do approach us, the game of life and dating takes two to tango. A lady has to be up on hers, as well.

The friend that will never try anything new and gives you the side-eye when you do. I realized a long time ago that I can’t be friends with folks who balk at eating anywhere but the Cheesecake Factory, going to see any movie whose budget us under $100 million (or might involve subtitles), and hasn’t traveled somewhere Carnival Cruiselines doesn’t go. When this person screws up their face and hit me with, “Brazilian food?!?! That’s some bourgie ish!”, I know it’s time to shed ‘em.

This list was hilarious. And your story of blatant and unrepentant cockblocking made me want to beat that dude’s butt.

My list

1. Mr. or Mrs. Unhappy Complainer

Wet blankets suck. More importantly they have the ability to make you a wet blanket which would ruin you life.

2. Mr. or Mrs. Can I Borrow A Dollar?

One of my main rules is never have friends who are comfortable asking you for money. This doesn’t mean you can’t pay for your friends are lend them money when needed. It means that you should not have friends who see asking you for money as a standard part of their lives. These people are leeches and I can’t deal with them.

I’m definitely gonna have to De-lurk for this one.

1. The friend that stopped maturing at 19.
Y’all know that person that sticks out like a sore thumb in the group. Everyone is fresh off work in their business casual gear and the friend rolls up to Happy Hour in baggy pants and a tall tee (Yea, I did say tall tee..smh). This friend still tries to holla at his “female friends” that just graduated from HS this past year even though we’ve been outta high school going on 5 years now. Ol boy spends his whole check on clothes and alcohol but then hits you up 4 days before payday asking for gas money b/c he’s flat broke.

2. The friend that tries to incorporate their kid into everything and then has the nerve to wonder why they get left out.
It’s cool that you decided to have a kid at 21. Even more cool that lil TyQuan provides comic relief during a family cookout or an extended stop at Wal-Mart. What’s not cool? Trying to bring TyQuan to the movies at 11:30pm to see The Hangover w/ the rest of the crew b/c you couldn’t find a babysitter. What else isn’t cool? The fact that we all have to suffer through an entire movie’s worth of a crying 2 year old b/c it’s past his bedtime and its too noisy from all the laughter and cussing. And now you get mad at me b/c you didn’t get an invite or call when everyone wanted to go to Dinner. Oh well..

3. The two friends in the group that are having chex but try to front on everyone as if they’re not.
C’mon now. We’ve all been cool since we were in Middle School. It’s kinda obvious when both of yall decline invites to go out within 5 minutes of each other. Or the fact that y’all always seem to get caught playfighting and/or touching on each other. Y’all can’t even fool Ray Charles on this one. Sorry..

Red Flags $HO.

-MLK non violent types:
I shoulda known my ninja was a fake track star ninja back when I was 15 and he was 17. He is/was the biggest playa i eva seen But this ninja is softer than baby whipes. Anyways one time we was kickin it gettin tacted out with some dudes we met earlier that put 5 on it. We get out all roasted and they start talkin like aw man that shi was weak yadayada and my boy gets so scared he faints/takes a seat/melted on the fence. Im like dam my nig they jus playin dog helpin him up. He neva had my back if we got into sumthin but i was quick ta ride 4 whateva. cant trust people like that. now he is a security guard/wanna be cop def dont trust him.

-ninjas who get emotional over a broad:

I have had every type of friend on these lists and my top three are

Hey Hater – Not just once in a while, either. Every single time you even so much as mention a guy you just met, there is something they gotta say. “Oh, yeah he tried to holla at me two weeks ago”, “Oh, you talking about the one who has be f*cking wit (insert known slut with the herp here)”, “Oh, you mean that somb*tch who constantly cheated on so and so”, “Oh, I heard he did this and that”. Now coming from a place where everybody knows everybody and somebody always has something to say about somebody, it’s hard enough to get the real from the rumors. It’s always been in my mind to judge a ninja for themselves, but damn it’s hard to get that seed outta your head once it’s planted. When starting the rumor doesn’t work, this person moves on to “I used to f*ck with him”, knowing damn well your personal rules keep you from talking to anyone close friends/family have been through. She also will be quick to go after that ninja as soon as you have ruled him out, just in case you change your mind later on. On another note, if you’ve been talking for a minute, she’ll throw in that she saw him somewhere and he was tryin to holla at her knowing she was your girl.

Nanny wanted – The one who’s calls you have to ignore when the weekend is creeping up because you know she’s looking for you to babysit her three kids at least one day every single weekend, no exceptions.

the Super Leech – The one who “isn’t really a smoker, just a social smoker” so refuses to buy cigarettes, but bums a cigarette every 30 mins while around. This one has the audacity to actually text just to ask you to bring a single cigarette to her. Makes sure to eat at least one bite off of everything you have, ask for a drink every time you order one, and will not hesitate to use her kids to ask for money. “My electricity got shut off and the girls are in the dark”, “I don’t have money for diapers or formula”, “The school is requiring a $1000 laptop for four year old James”. Once she got the money, you see her with brand new J’s on every week for a month before she starts to little by little pay you off. She done borrowed so much, you almost lose track of how much.

Ooooh, y’all got me started on my sister. I’m done.

Edit: I just noticed this is more than one of my sisters. Sad times.

Oh, and I wanted to co-sign on everybody’s comments about New York cats.

Maybe it was just the variety that attended Howard, but my experiences with New York cats there convinced me that most of them are impossible to be around on a regular basis. Old faux-hard ninjas. On the regular, I had to remind cats that I understand that New York is a rough place to live, but homie, I’m from New Orleans.

Checkmate.

Cats can believe that Baby ain’t a gangsta at their own peril.

When did kissing men affect your ability to kill people and inflict pain? I mean, Wayne’s gangsta is suspect, but Baby? Nah. Baby might sleep with men, but that dude ain’t soft. Homosexuality and gangsta are not mutally exclusive.

Or else soft cats would not be so worried about going to jail. Big Dick Bubba who got you washing his drawers and catching the wall is probabaly a stone cold killer.

The friend who is incredibly green. Let’s call him the “Derwin Davis”. For whatever reason homie has never been hipped to any game. You consistently have to school him on things to the point that hanging out with him becomes a chore. I have a friend who I had to send text reminders for him to kick his jumpoff out of the house, and snatched the phone from him when he was on the verge of inviting the same jumpoff to a group outing.

“… having to listen to a pre-paid legal sales pitch for five minutes every time you talk to your boy. ”

ROTFLMAO!! So true – I had to start communicating with one of my friends through FACEBOOK ONLY b/c every time I talked to him on the phone or saw him, he always tried to sell me prepaid legal services. I don’t know what it is about prepaid legal that makes people sell it with such fervor…
