I feel so weak :(

I did this too at first. Make sure you finish everything in the first town before you even step foot towards anything outside of its walls. You will die.

Gotta make that long-ass drive tomorrow afternoon, all just for a shape-up.

On the subject, where is BlackGAF on beards? For the last few years I've maintained a jawline beard because I look like I'm 16 years old without it. Since the last shape-up though it's gotten quite bushy and I'm wondering if I should just maintain that.

Still having to stay with the small 'fro because I don't wanna make that drive every two weeks to keep a skin fade. Overall the style is probably part of what's been killing my job interviews but I can't really afford to change it UNTIL I start working. I can only imagine how hard this might be outside the US... unless they got black barbershops in places like the UK.

Had an afro for about eight years. Of course the folks at the barber shop gave me grief for wanting to cut it.

And I have no idea what to do with ingrown hairs from shaving because of how wild my beard hair his, but I can't even grow a decent beard! Even getting it cut at the barber shop leaves me with some razor bumps fuck

If you can painlessly grow a beard of decent fullness, it's fine if you stick with that. I've heard chinstraps are lame, but the person who said that was a masculine white lesbian woman

My advice: get your hair cut down really short for interviews, then once you get the job, never cut it and leave it nappy

I can't keep a clean shave. My skin is sensitive as fuck and if I shave it, I'll have razor bumps for days. I purchased a decent beard trimmer and rock anything from a midnight shadow to stubble. My beard hair grows quickly and thick as fuck, so I have to constantly maintain it.

I rock a medium bald fade with a 3-4 on top, natural.

Haven't been able to have a clean shaven face since I was like 19. I rock a full beard and just try to keep it neat. The rest of my head I just take a clipper to with no guide on it. I don't bother with fades or line ups either. Granted I'm a stay at home dad now but before that I was always either the one Black dude or one of the two wherever I worked so my bosses never messed with me.

Chelsea, eh? What'd you make of last years Champions League Cup?

Happy for your brother. Youth training camps is one venue American sports really lack. For those who don't know, major football (soccer) teams in Europe take in young, promising players at a young age (like say 10 years old) and train them, professionally, in their own youth league. As the kid grows, he continues to play for that team's youth team, and eventually, with hard work, he can make the professional team.

They are trained by professionals and it is one of the major reasons why American soccer lags like it does: the lack of infrastructure. By comparison, in Europe, those kids are being trained by star players and coaches. You can't compete with that.

FreeMufasa, what are your thoughts on Pep heading to Bayern?
Click to expand...

Yeah last years CL was exciting. Rooting for Chelsea because theyre an english team although me and my older bro are arsenal boys and my lil bro supports Man U the little shit.

Tbh I was expecting Chelsea to get him all last year. Abromovich wanted him so bad. Really interested to see if he can repeat his Barcelona success at Bayern. I think he will.

Where are you from Lin?
DominoKid said:
Chelsea... from what i've seen they don't seem to promote youth as much as some of the other clubs in England. iirc they don't have any first team players from within the club. maybe 1.

but if he's really good, even if he doesn't make it at Chelsea he'll land somewhere else.

hope it works out though, as long as he doesn't dagger United in the future.
Click to expand...

Pretty much, but it's a necessary stepping stone. At the very least, he's guaranteed to play in the championship if he doesn't stand out. I know he can make the EPL though. Only thing that can stop him is girls and partying.

UK and France have large black populations so its not much of a problem. True say its they're usually centred around the capitals. Anywhere else though.......you're fucked. My friends over Europe have to get family or friends to do it.

The thing that's good about P4A is that you dont have to train that much once you 'get' your character. Havent played the game in 2 months but im pretty sure I can jump right back in like it was nothing.

It is straight out wrong that Cooper ended up with the lady who was their housemate for all those years.

The episode where they made out in that car garage, I turned off my tv in disgust.

Yes, Hanging With Mr Cooper is serious business.
