Just Like Old Times…

the fam

It feels like my whole fam has migrated from NYC to ATL. Nay-Nay, Uncle Drunk, Smoogie, Dontravius… Everybody.

I never understand why Black folks always let themselves be presented as homophobes in the media. We don’t hate anybody. Thanksgiving dinner is the proof of that.

Everyone gets a seat at the family table. My gay cousin. My junkie aunt. My white uncle. My cleptomaniac brother. Everybody.

Enjoy your family party people, or not. You only get one. Unless you get married. And then hopefully the in-laws don’t become the outlaws.

Down, But Not Out…

broke down

For the last six months since my cable service has been, er, inactive, I have used the wireless signal from my neighbor’s apartment. That signal is now more less than it is wireless.

Either I pay my bills or I go back to computer labs and libraries.

Not For Long: Week 12

An interesting thought occurred to me…

I’m about to take over the lead in the BILLY X SUNDAY football pool. The kids that read my shit at XXL are starting to choke up as the season winds down. However, I am far from the lead in the DALLAS PENN football pool. The seasoned veterans are still in the hunt and still very serious about winning these sneakers.

What makes the adults so much more into free sneakers than the kids? I think that might be the ultimate folly of youth. The notion that something free isn’t worth winning. Us old heads realize that free shit is the best shit. I would take anything for free. Even a pile of actual shit. I’m hoping that no one puts this statement to the test because this is schwag bag season here in NYC.

I also wonder if someone from Las Vegas is going to have the refs from the Pittsburgh game tied up and sequestered for the rest of the season. When a cadre of referees comes together and still can’t make the correct call I wonder what they are thinking. I really could have used that point from the Pittsburgh game. There are five weeks left for me to take over the pool. I’m looking for a 13+ point picks week.

Oh and yeah, how ’bout them Cowboys?
