So, in my drunken state last Friday I asked some women if they thought I was handsome. (I was later told that this made them uncomfortable, but that's not the point. Anyway.) The reason I gave them was that I've been stopped in the street and called handsome, but mostly by black women. I guess it's grown into a nagging doubt somewhere in the back of my mind, and saying it out loud made it so I can't ignore the worry any more. I often wonder: Are they doing that just because I'm mixed and have light skin? The idea that something arbitrary like that may be why I get a lot of the attention I get bothers me.

While I do know that black women tend to be more forward in general, it still sticks in my mind. Thoughts, black GAF?

Alright there Captain Humblebrag. Serious question - are you a light skinned brother who loves Jesus? Because that may play into it.

What up family? How you cats been?
*pulls up a chair* Is it story time?

All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.

To be clear I think I'm average looking.
No Jesus, random women on the street. Occasionally somebody in a bar.
Oh, and one swinger chick on a dating site, but I'm not sure that counts.

Must have a special face or clean and friendly.
Pics so we can judge.

They trotted out MLK again during the Rep Presidential debates. This time in regards to court appointed officials ignoring the law and being jailed while hiding behind their religious beliefs.
Martin writing that letter from behind bars is the best thing to happen to Reps in 2015. They ain't ever going to stop twisting that shit for their own gains.

Cancer spread further up my father's lung and parts of his liver. Stage 4.

I'm sorry to hear that. And I can understand why he would want to keep it close for now...it's a burden on you though. Just..be a man in his corner. He trusted you with this, that means something too. He's going to need support, especially when other family gets involved. I watched my uncles and father close ranks around my grandfather when he was going from prostate cancer. I think my one uncle knew before everyone else too.

MIT wants him to come visit. He's about to do an award tour.

Numb, said guys dad was from Sudan.
So close.
I was thinking Ethiopia or Eritrea.
Man being a brown skinned kid in school during the years after 9/11 was horrible. I got called names before and I'm not even Arabic or Muslim.
Can't even imagine what the regular guys who were both and lived there before all of that went through.

Just upgraded from my 2013 Moto X to a 2015 Moto X Pure. Everything about this is better for me. The customization was a lot more subtle that the images give off (which is what I was hoping for my combo) and I can enjoy my new phone smell having a new car smell with the leather back.


That is a LEAP in camera quality.
 
Ive been practicing my writing on Tumblr of all things. I have put up a few between verses. For example ive written Verse 6. Its pretty straight forward. I am gonna have to post so you cats can read it.

Ahmed is on msnbc right now.

He's been called terrorist and bomb maker since middle school.

It's crazy the cops took him out of school in handcuffs when they should have called his parents and settled this at the school level. If the principal was so concerned it was a bomb he would have evacuated the school.

So if I'm understanding this, Carson wants to build two walls and have everyone else be farmers because no one wants to be farmers?
 
I tend to think people just shit on sports because they were forced upon them as kids, or they were bullied by stereotypical jock assholes

Honestly a lot of the behavior I've seen online in general can be attributed to that. That's sorta why everyone is anti-pop culture in the first place.
