lol, what's with those bright-ass colors?
I too would eat a bullet before rocking neon. What does that have to do with wearing relaxed-fitting jeans?

oh shit, real cowboy boots. I meant something like these:DrFunk said:
They work well with relaxed fitting jeans. Tongue wagging n' shit.
I have some fake cowboy boots (about half as tall), but it's never prevented the compliments.
except from my Texas female friends.:-(

I actually like bright colors.
While I may not dress as bright as the brother posted above, I do dress brightly sometimes. For example, one of the pairs of Converse that I posted are actually Neon Green. I've gotten numerous comments like, "Wow, those shoes are bright. I could probably see them in pitch black dark."

Hello blackGaf, newbie here (though not really). While I'm too lazy to answer those probing questions, there is one that I think is very interesting, which is the black nerd thing:
- Do you feel ostracized as a black nerd/dork? Charles Barkley once said that "there's nothing sadder than a black nerd". What do you think about those words, and while we're on the issue, what is gaf's opinion on the whole "act white" thing?
No I don't feel ostracized. I like being a nerd/dork, but it isn't what defines me as a person. I enjoy a plethora of different things because it allows me to experience and see the world in various ways, and it is a constant source of inspiration. I'm not going to stop because some dude think its shameful. I say shame on him for limiting himself. As far as "Acting white" I don't care about that either. A lot of people say that to me cause I wear skinny pants, or whatever, and it goes back to my first point. I do what I want, because I want to, not out of a desire to be something else.
On topic, I love skinny jeans, hate boots, tuck my shirt in and wear a pony tail.
Also this question may have been asked already, but do you guys/gals pursue any kind of art form?

Wrong thread?DominoKid said:
No, it isn't free lol. It's 14.99 in the US.
Also, welcome to the thread, Air. I used to draw mainly Sonic the Hedgehog characters. I'm not sure why I stopped.
Air said:
Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay.
hmmm shirt tucking, not many men can pull that off.
Skinny jeans are much more comfy than women's stretch jeans. So I would go skinny over stretch.
Geeks are cool, if they have some swag.
edit: I forgot to mention that I draw, but I've been slacking because I been doing mainly graphics with adobe programs. (I would love to make a Black Gaf logo but the OP is unable to be changed)

Air said:
First welcome and thank you for joining in.
Ostracized? Pfft hardly. I've been called an urkel clone at my job before. Hell, I rock suspenders from time to time too. It's all my swag/ confidence doing what I do, get respect. Not to mention I flirt with no shame at work with(often) positive results. I find me being a "black geek" an interesting piece of chocolate as I fill the token black guy role.
Art form? Hmm I draw sort of and I'm learning to play guitar for the heck of it. I'm a bit of an audiophile if I had to mention. With that said I'm dead tired from the day.

Shoulda seen that coming. :lolLebron said:
Capcom took a lot of my money this year.DominoKid said:
-Marvel vs. Capcom 3.
-Super Street Fighter IV PS3 version.
-Arcade Edition.
-Costume packs for SSFIV.
-Then I plan to buy Street Fighter III Third Strike Online Edition.
-If Asura's Wrath comes out I'll get that too.
-Waiting for MegaMan Legends 3 for 3DS and I'll get that too along with a 3DS somehow.
Damn it, Capcom's just fucking all my bitches.
Edit: No LOL, I wasn't one of those crazy Sonic fans, but I do love me some blue hedgehogs. I'm excited for Sonic Generations; it's looking to be the best Sonic game in a while. Then again Sonic Colors and the day stages of Unleashed were great too.

I just have to say (again) I LOVE WENDY WILLIAMS. I am listening to old sessions her radio show on Youtube, and man I miss it so much! I always couldn't wait to get out of school to race home to listen to it. She is so funny, I love the talk show on tv too. And she does not look like a man. How U Doin'?

I'm a busy man, but I've been on gaf much longer, but I decided to sign up around 2008, but I only just got approved to post yesterday, which is pretty funny.

Thanks!
Londa said:
Yeah, you're right not many men can pull it off. But I think it works for me since I'm fairly slim, and anybody can be cool if they got swag.
Urban Scholar said:
Thanks! Maybe I've been reading too much poetry, but the first half of your message rhymes pretty well. Kudos if you did it on purpose. Bigger kudos if it wasn't. lol
It seems like there are a lot of drafters here which pleases me. Keep it up!
I guess it would be rude for me to ask other people what they would do without telling you what I do for a hobby. Like a lot of you I draw (majoring in animation), I've started singing a few months ago, and I want to take hip/hop and flamenco dance classes this summer.

The sound effects from the radio show were hilarious. The way she goes in on people is like nobody else.

Someone who loves Wendy Williams?
I have a friend who loves her. I remember going into discussion with my friends about her and I instantly said, "I don't like her. Also she's too tall and she looks built like a man. I wouldn't want to butt fuck a man."
Then my friend Jamal who is twice my size in both height and weight stood up from his chair and said, "I fucking love Wendy Williams. If that is a man, I'll take my chances."
I laughed. He laughed but then his face went to a serious face.
Fearing my wellbeing I switched the subject, "So how about that economy? n__n;;"

So because you guys judge her and think she is a man and I don't, you have a problem with me liking her? I never said I wanted to sleep with her, I just like her personality and she makes me laugh.
You think because I put "love" that implied something more?

I'm still mad Beibs was hugging on Esperanza.
My only consolation was that she clearly wasn't feeling the little bastard.
