bitch I'm taking calls.
Thanks for the link and advice. Hadn't seen that thread before. Just watched a documentary about food on Netflix though so I'm pumped and ready to be educated.

Figured I'd share my story about hood chicken joints. In the neighborhood near my dorm there's this little hole in the wall place called ho chi. Got some of the best chicken and fries in DC. Alright so first week here me and my boys roll out to Ho chi with some girls we just met. We get there and there's this crazy ass misogynist dude ranting about women. Highlights of the rant include, "They need the dick more than you need the hole", "Women ain't shit without men" and the kicker " Ain't nothing like a hard dick" finally he asked the girls if he could borrow a dollar from them after that rant. We promptly got the fuck outta there. Was quite the welcome to Howard.

Wow...rofl. Was it a regular guy or did he look like a cluck head?


That tattoo guy is on that part time warrior life: "never have to pay for a cut again!"

That tattoo will pay for itself in a few months to a year, depending on how much he's spending per cut. All he has to do is Bic his head, maybe let it grow a bit every couple of weeks and he's good. Doesn't have to worry about balding/widow's peak/receding; only thing he has to watch out for is his head getting wrinkly, which may ruin the illusion

I actually don't play for my school. Been trying to make sure my grades are on point. A 3.5 is good but I know I ca do better and playing sports would take up too much damn time.

blacks in music in general pisses me off. its like people really believe that hip hop is the only genre of music attached to black people.

I listen to EVERYTHING...except country music, I really can't fuck with that. I tried in honesty once and I was like no, no, no, hell no. That twang they do just kills me...and the shit they sing about...why?

DominoKid said:
a lot of that shit only matters as much as you let it though.

like...i've never had someone tell me i wasnt a gangsta (black enough) because i went to college. not that i want to be a gangsta, but even the hoodest folks i know respected it because at the end of the day it's about doing what you have to do to make it. everybody grew out of that anti-intellectual shit by HS. besides, life has a way of evening shit out in the long run.

the biggest thing that bothers me isnt expectations, which make up most of that list, but misconceptions. i hate when people get the wrong read on me. i've vented about this many times. expectations pretty much get addressed on their own. misconceptions require a lot more work and effort to address and correct.

i think the only one on that list that reeeeeally bothers me is the sports thing. and that's because in one of my first classes freshman year, when we were doing introductions my professor flat out asked me "what sport do you play" in front of the entire class. i was the only person she asked that. could've heard a pin drop in that room. it's one of the few times i can actually say i felt "lesser than" for being black. like i couldnt be smart enough to be there based on academic merit.

I can say that growing up military brat, I haven't really run into any of them until I moved back to the US then shit hit the fan. People would read me completely wrong, cats get shocked at how I talked I was like damn. It's like I stepped in a time machine coming to America. And the South was definitely still in the 1800s, I wanted to ask people who won the war for fun...but I wasn't trying to get shot. Those confederates in SC don't play, they'll lynch your ass post a facebook video bragging about it and wear the confederate flag during the court hearing.

i just hate the twang because its so obviously put on for the most part. ex: my boy that sings country, he can flip it on/off at will. first time i ever heard him sing w/ the twang i was stunned cause dude was sounding like Randy Travis. he usually doesnt sing w/ a hard twang though.

SC is so different from NC to be the next state over. Crossing over feels like a different country. NC to Virginia just kind of runs together to me.

Yea I spent 2.5 in SC and got the fuck out quick as hell. I just couldn't take it there, it was too backwards and too far gone for me to even try. I've been up to NC a couple of times, Charlotte area, I liked it there. I lived in VA for a few months on Fort Lee I really had nothing to do.

Does he not realize he's black. it's ok to be bald, barring you don't have a weird shaped head. My man even has the waves and everything smh. This comes across as extremely insecure, but I would hate to go bald. On a related note, I got a good laugh out of that thread earlier this week where the OP said that baldness should be treated with the same regard as debilitating diseases in terms of trying to find a cure because of the affect it has on men with mpb. Wat.

Well that sucks, good thing you don't really lose any gains in that short a time. You might slip a little coming back, but it comes back really fast. I'm pretty sure if I took 2 weeks off, I'd come back stronger, hell I took 4 days off last week and hit a squat PR.

Hey I see you guys talking about working out & gym stuff.

Let me share(preface); was a chubby/fat kid up until 17

Since then I've changed my diet, eat right & workout on the regular. That initial push you need is hard I know.

I'm Haitian & live with the fam in Miami. Let me tell you that's a hella lot of bad for you food, haha. I believe in you guys, you all can do it.

I'm 5'11.5 I weight anywhere from 149-155. I run...alot(trust me) & hit the weights and have a slim/small frame.

Today one of my homeboys told me he started hitting the gym in 2 weeks I haven't seen him. I'm all like damn, putting in that work!

Yeah that's good to hear. It's mostly a mental thing. Hitting the gym consistently for a year and then a month break, you feel like you're loosing everything.

running is the one thing i could never get with. getting used to lifting was easy, but i've never had good endurance. i play sports in stop/start mode and sandbag half the time because of this.

Running hurts my legs. Ever since playing bball in HS, my legs have been shot. I walk 2 miles a day though, so thats something.

I hate running, it's not my thing at all. I would like to do a half marathon just to do it one day though. Last year when I was cutting, I was running 3 miles 5 mornings out of the week. My stamina was shit starting off and got decent to the point that I wasn't even stopping at any point to rest/walk during my runs. Eventually I grew to tolerate running, I don't think I ever got that runners high or anything. When I do cardio at the gym, I usually don't fuck with the treadmills, I'll just use an elliptical or a stair machine since I can easily run outside.

Im also slowly trying to get into working out again, I was doing great last year till I caught back to back flu that derailed any motivation I had. Anyways I'm doing pull ups every day maxing out at 10 and I'm doing 24 push ups. I'm hoping get started on kettlebells next month

I have one of those door frame pull up bars, helped me step my pull up game. unfortunately I don't do pull ups as often now since it seems to exacerbate my tendonitis, hopefully that will change soon. Never done any kettlebell work myself.

Cardio fucks with my knee too. I tore my ACL and MCL in High School, and the knee is definitely a problem from time to time.

I did the Insanity program last year, that shit is so rough on your knees(especially if you're a bigger guy). My knees are still good, but I'm always aprehensive about doing that program. Elliptical is a good form of cardio that doesn't bother knees.
