I’ve been observing life again from atop a camel hump… Some things really just confuse me and some things are really just funny to me.
1) Steve Harvey’s book causes an epiphany in women. Now they understand what men are saying. – Are there really that many men in the world that are full of shit that women can’t understand simple words? Or is it the whole ‘believe none of what you heard and half of what you see’ thing. Either way, somebody needs to do some soul searching.
2) People are more inclined to rely on word of mouth than actual fact. – I watched person after person talk about how they weren’t eating pork anymore because of the swine flu, yet I saw not one news report that said that eating pork was the thing that spread the swine flu. Amazing how people will spend hours out of the day on the internet looking up the latest dance or celebrity nude photo but won’t look up things that are important to our existence.
3) The media is based on fear-mongering. – While I’m on the subject of the swine flu, let’s talk simple math for a second. At one point when the swine flu was first considered an epidemic, the amount of cases was 300+ and the death toll stood at 8. I found this to be interesting because the regular influenza virus has millions of cases annually and claims hundreds of thousands of lives, yet it isn’t considered an epidemic. And how about those folks who wore the masks to keep from catching it. I wonder how many of them use condoms because AIDS is still spreading rapidly and killing millions worldwide. Can someone say SARS?
4) DRAKE!!!! – Okay, I like Drake as much as the next hip-hop fan but can we please stop with the over-saturation of his music. The man has yet to drop an actual album yet and he’s created more buzz than a lot of the proven artists in the game. What’s going to happen is folks are going to get tired of him before he ever drops an album. I know we are all desperate for something new and refreshing in the game but all I ask is that we don’t kill this man’s career before it starts.
5) What’s Beef – Cleveland artists are claiming that one artist is still another artist’s swag… SERIOUSLY? I wonder if anybody in the actual industry cares? What about the general public? How about we stop the bs’n and start trying to put some of these folks on. Besides, your swag was never yours to begin with.
6) What’s Beef pt. 2 (Nick Cannon and Eminem) – GTFOH!!! Nick Cannon didn’t like the track where Eminem talks about him being with Mariah? Does this mean we get to hear a Nick Cannon track dissing Eminem? Woohoo!!! *insert disinterested face*
7) Boyfriend # 2 – So I guess it’s what’s hot in the streets these days for guys to want to be the other man in a relationship. And what does that say for all the women out here that claim that men ain’t shit yet have a bf #2… Remember that mask I talked about before… Yeah, you should take that joint off in 5… 4… 3… 2…
8) Sex tapes & Naked flicks – Poor Cassie. First you get exposed for being a fraud as a singer, then you get exposed… LITERALLY! I guess since putting Lil Wayne on a track with you didn’t help sales maybe getting naked might huh? And Rihanna and C. Breezy are in the mix too. Sorry if I’m not interested in this either. And give it up for Hoopz (of Flavor of Love fame) for upstaging them all with 7 seconds of, well, giving it up. Fellas are gonna be searching that video for real now. I wonder if I did a sex tape, would more people visit my blog…
I’m getting off my camel for now, I think he’s finally thirsty. Holler at y’all later.

What Things I'm Tired of Hearing Women Say
Ok so lately, I’ve been expanding my horizons in the e-world (i.e. started a blog page, joined Twitter, etc.) and in some cases it has been an enjoyable experience. I’ve met a lot of interesting people and have gotten introduced to some new music and great views on the world.. I love hearing people’s opinions about life, relationships, music, sex and the like. However, I have noticed a lot of bitter men and women on some of these sites, but mostly women. I’ve read a few notes that women have posted and some of them are downright appalling, while others are so true. A couple of my favorite women in the world put together a list of things they are tired of hearing ‘men’(for the lack of a better term) say. Here is my rebuttal in the form of things I’m tired of hearing women say. Ready... Go...
"Niggas ain’t shit" - True statement and it’s cute to say when you are in high school and the first couple years of college, but once you’re pushing 30 and you are still talking that same yin yang, it’s time to get your life in order. You only get back what you put out.
"I’m a model" - No boo boo, you are not a model. You are a chick taking pictures in the mirror of your bathroom. I don’t see a comp card. Where’s your portfolio? Are you on modelmayhem? If not, miss me with all that.
"I’m independent" - BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... Excuse me for laughing in your face but last time I checked, the only way you are really independent is if you own your own (business, house, car, etc.). Maybe you are talking about your political affiliation? Whole ‘nother story.
"Women are smarter than men cuz we are more slick with ours" - Hmmm... you would think your smart ass would have a man that you didn’t need to creep on. If you were so damn smart, then how about devising a plan to make your man be better in bed, like , oh I don’t know, TELLING HIM WHAT YOU LIKE. And they say men are the dumb ones...
"Women are smarter than men... PERIOD" - did I miss this memo because last time I checked, you were still depending on that man to provide something for you. Something that since you are so smart you could probably do for yourself. Lazy mf’ers...
"I got a man but he ain’t acting right" - So if he’s not acting right, why is he still your man? Stop trying to have your cake and eat it too...
"I want a boyfriend" - Well when you’re through playing on the playground, go find yourself a man. Grown ass kid...
"You look like you can eat a good pussy" - Yup, I sure can. But not yours... Miss me with that.
"I’m a Diva" - Hmmm... Are you one now because Beyonce claims she’s one? Did you know that just last year, Beyonce claimed that she wasn’t a diva? You might want to catch yourself while you’re following these walking contradictions around.
And that’s not it ladies. You have some other things you need to get right in your world.
Stop lying to this guys about their dicks - Every man out here does not have the big dick or can even hit the spot properly. Stop building these cats’ egos up because it’s not helping yours or anyone else’s cause.
Stop saying I don’t need a man one second then complaining about how you don’t have a boyfriend the next - Are you bipolar? You’re not making any sense.
Stop listening to your single girlfriend about your relationship - She’s single for a reason. You’re in a relationship for a reason.
Stop trying to hook us up with your ugly friend - If she’s cute to you however when you go out, she never gets any attention, this means you probably have your friendship goggles on.
I’m done for now but there will be a part two to this.

Master Teacher... (Inspired by Erykah Badu)
Why is it that we as black men believe standing on the corner hustlin’ is cooler than going to the library to read and get educated. Why do we feel that having sex with many women makes us more of a man than having that one woman, building her up and nurturing her? Why don’t we raise our young boys to be men rather than leaving a woman to be mommy and daddy? Why do we recognize each other as niggas rather than strong , black brothers?
When do we as a people recognize the pitfalls that we continuously set for ourselves? I pray for all my black brothers, but especially our young generations, because, like it or not, we are lost. So many of us now have no idea how to be men. Everyone wants to be grown but many of these so called men aren’t men at all. They are scared little boys whom react to situations and adversity as they believe a man should. Most of us have no idea how to truly survive a struggle and bring ourselves out of it, so we continue the same cycle over and over. We make excuses for our shortcomings instead of admitting what our faults are and finding a way to fix them. Why do we follow trends instead of the words of our elders? Life is not about being the coolest nigga on the block, because the world is larger than your block. Life is what you make of it. Be a leader, an example for your children. Work harder, be a REAL MAN, not a boy pretending to be a man. Be a husband, not a babydaddy or a player, it gets old. Build our black women up instead of breaking them down. Be informed of the world around you, not just the gossip on the block. Read, write and express your true feeling of the world. These are the principles that afford you all the opportunities that you have been afforded in the world thus far.
Understand this, I don’t knock your hustle, I just understand that we as blacks make up a small percentage of America, but almost half of the prison population is black. 65 percent of black women with children are single mothers and the percentage of them that are under 21 is much higher. We have to educated each other and teach our children. We as black men need to be better. Go to school. Don’t just make life about basketball and screwing. We have to be better. Nurture our child, help guide them to be the next great leaders of our nation. Ask for help and don’t let your pride get in the way. Learn from your elders, they’ve seen so many things that you have yet to encounter.
