Nice Guys vs. Good Guys

In Editorial ,Vigorous Debate ,When Things Fall Apart

This might be the most vital shit I ever put here. Most men living in America would sell a bodypart for this shit right here. I don’t see why it’s not ingrained into our minds in this day and age where the women complain about the quality of men and the men complain about trying to find the one woman who they think will make all their internal problems go away.

It’s simple: when it comes to being a “nice” guy, don’t do that. Too many people think that “nice” is associated with “well, here’s my license to an indentured servant with whom I can get away with anything because they’re clearly too caught up in the thoughts of others to assert themselves”

No. If Mama ain’t raise no fool, prove her right. It’s not about being “nice” so much as “good”. Help others out if you feel they need it. Be the light in the dark. But the difference between “nice” guys and the ones who get what they want, is simply drawing lines.

In my heart I’d just give and spread love to everyone. But in reality, I’m cool with everyone and show love to a few. Why? Because I’d rather not be taken as a fool. If you don’t treat yourself with value, you can’t expect others to. That’s like the one way ticket to hell. This means saying no, giving an alternate option or opinion and standing your ground on things.

For instance, women. No woman REALLY wants a guy who agrees with her all the time and caters to her every need and desire unless she’s in an infirmary. It might be in your nature to do that. Don’t. It’s like playing with a cat; they get bored easily. Everyone likes a challenge. A chance to prove themselves. Or something to keep them interested and reeled in.

Personally, I’d like to consider myself one of the good guys. I don’t wish harm on too many people so long as they don’t get in my way. But I’m all about winning, and in order for there to be winners there must also be losers. That’s how life ultimately goes. I got plans. And as much as I want to see everyone win, the nice guy will put his plans to the backburner out of altruism (goodness of heart) while the good guy will tell you what you need to hear in order to win for yourself… but not enough to get in his way if that’s what you’re trying to do.

So there’s the difference. It’s a matter between pursuing what you want or putting the desires of others before yourself out of some sense of insecurity. They might hate you for it, but then again it’s only between you and the person in the mirror at the end of it all.

This Conversation Infuriated Me aka I Have No Words

In Double Standards ,Vigorous Debate ,Xenophobia

Let me get a few things out there before all you people with parents get your panties in a bunch:

1. I don’t tell parents how to raise their children. As the oldest grandchild of 20something grandspawn *and by a few years even* I’ve been privy to almost ALL of the same issues y’all have to deal with. I’ve been the confidant, the lecturer, the diaper changer, the consoler, the discipliner, the alcohol runner..EVERYTHING. The only difference is, I get time off from that job. It also gives me SOME insight into how parenting works. So yeah..I can flat out tell you that you’re doing your children a disservice by doing or NOT doing something.

2. I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong. How often am I wrong though? Not very.

3. “D” and I have been internet homies for almost 10 years now. I took her full name out to avoid you ruthless folks from tracking her down on the interwebs and berating her. That’s MY job.

4. “D” and I have had many conversations over the years about her upbringing, my upbringing, the world, and lots of other things. But this conversation right here? This shit right here, nigga? Woooooooooooooooo shit!

The following is a conversation I had the other night on FB Chat *we all know how fucked up FB Chat is, that’s why the convo might not seem coherent but I tried* with a long time friend. Me and her disagree on a lot of things, but we also agree on a few. If you’ve had a conversation with me about any number of things, you’d know that I’m capable of seeing things from both sides of the fence. Some might call it a flaw. People always ask me why I feel the need to play devil’s advocate all the time.

In this particular instance, I was NOT playing devil’s advocate. I meant that shit. Additionally black people, this way of thinking is yet ANOTHER reason why we’ll never get ahead. Self sufficiency is one thing, but TOTAL self segregation? C’mon son! Please feel free to leave comments or hit me up on twitter (@eyanj) to rap a taste.

A Short Tale of Wives and Girlfriends

In Uncategorized

I say this because even though I may SEEM like I talk shit about everything with a jaded POV, that’s only for laughs. I really want the best for us all.

That being said, I feel the term “wife material” or “wifey” is a sham. Yeah she holds you down but you didn’t marry her. She might’ve popped out a few lil’ trespassers but until you put the ring on her finger and get legally married/eloped, that’s just a really good girlfriend.

Now, for the guys looking for a wife or “the one” I say this; pump your brakes. You won’t know for certain whether this is the person you want to spend your life with until you spend your life with her. And beyond that, I don’t think it’s wise to seek out a wife until you see how she is as your girlfriend first. Y’all actually have to go through important life stuff first! Call me crazy but all that potential men and women show each other in the courting ritual is just good marketing ploys. That might be your real character or you just playing the role to get to where you feel you need to go, like the assistant who really wants to be boss but they just play their position until they take charge.

I always wondered how people built up their relationships for YEARS yet when they actually tied the knot suddenly it’s a Jekkyl and Hyde situation. “You’re not the same person I married!”. Duh. You married who you thought was the best person for you… at the time. Of course there’s gonna come a point where you feel you HAAAAAVE to marry that person. Nothing else to do, right?

You still have options if you’re unsure. And then there’s the fact that you just might be bullshitting yourself and everyone else you know by not going through with it. But it’s your life. Far be it from me to tell you do something you don’t want to do if you’re not forced.

and yes this entire typing was sparked by a #hashtag.

Mysterious ex-con draws comparison to Jason Bourne

By THOMAS WATKINS, Associated Press Writer

Saturday, June 26, 2010

(06-26) 11:48 PDT LOS ANGELES, (AP) –

Authorities came upon a startling and mysterious scene when they showed up at a luxury apartment in Los Angeles in April while investigating a call about a gas odor.

The door was barricaded. A cache of loaded weapons, including an AK-47, sat next to a mosaic depicting the CIA seal. They found equipment for counterfeiting money. High-powered binoculars were trained on the U.S. Federal Reserve building next door.

What followed was a six-week hunt for a suspect who had slipped out of the fire escape moments earlier and whose evasiveness drew comparisons to fictional agent Jason Bourne.

Police would eventually find their man, Brian Alexik, hiding out in his girlfriend’s apartment less than a mile from where he fled. But three weeks on, detectives are still trying to figure out just who he is, what plot they may have thwarted and whether he was a lone wolf or part of a larger group.

Alexik clammed up soon after he was arrested and his trail has been harder to follow because he used at least two fake names.

The 34-year-old is originally from Edison, N.J., detectives said. In 1996, he was convicted in Middlesex County on a drug-dealing charge. Five years later, he pleaded guilty to theft by deception and was sentenced to 180 days in jail, five years probation and had to pay $1,000 in restitution to a business.

Investigators are scouring his computer hard drives and studying the alarming contents of his penthouse as they attempt to unravel the mystery.

One bedroom had been converted into a makeshift machine shop, with tools scattered around. It appeared Alexik had been manufacturing the parts of assault rifles that ammunition magazines are slotted into, said Detective Mark Severino from the Los Angeles Police Department’s major crimes unit.

Detectives found a loaded sawed-off shotgun and handgun, an AK-47, ammunition and other weapons parts including a gun barrel. Ballistics tests are currently under way.

The CIA mosaic, depicting the white, starred shield with an eagle’s head on a blue background, measured about 5 feet across and investigators were impressed with the quality of the tile work. They initially thought Alexik was obsessed with the spy agency.

“But there was no other evidence in there linking the CIA or his infatuation with the CIA,” Severino said. “I don’t know why he would do that.”

A pair of binoculars was found by a tripod at the back window overlooking the Federal Reserve, but police don’t know what Alexik had been watching.

Answers might lie within the hard drives of four computers seized from the apartment and being analyzed by the Secret Service.

Police said Alexik appeared to move comfortably in social circles and most of his friends were in the cosmetics and clothing industries. Investigators found designer clothes and European shoes in his apartment, along with a photo of Alexik mugging next to U2 frontman Bono.

“He could easily fool a lot of people, he could be very charming and carries himself very well,” Severino said. “There was something about him that attracted these people to him.”

Alexik has pleaded not guilty to 10 felonies including weapons charges, narcotics offenses and forgery. Federal weapons charges are also expected. At a recent court hearing he appeared in a blue jail jumpsuit, his brown hair dyed to a coppery orange color and swept back across his head.

His public defender did not respond to requests for comment or for an interview in the jail. If convicted of all counts he could face up to 15 years in prison.

Police believe Alexik was manufacturing fake IDs and passports, as well as counterfeiting thousands of dollars in cash. A stash of what was believed to be illegal pills and methamphetamine was also in the home.

He allegedly had been bleaching low-denomination bills then using a printer to change the value to $100 or $50. In all, police recovered about $15,000 in bogus bills.

After Alexik slipped out the back window of his apartment on April 19, detectives interviewed tenants at the downtown lofts. Alexik had been paying about $4,000 cash for his rent but had recently stopped paying and was on the verge of getting evicted, Severino said.

He also seemed to have stopped paying his electric bill — Severino noticed coils of cables running from the hallway power outlets into the apartment. The noxious odor that initially drew police reportedly came from a generator.

As investigators closed in, they arrested a friend, Gregory Koller, who was found with assault-style weapons magazines. Police are looking into whether those may have been in the duffel bags Alexik was seen lugging as he fled down the fire escape.

“It is still unclear what his ultimate plan was going to be, however, what is clear is that his detection, capture, and arrest disrupted any future plans or growing capability to be even more dangerous to our community,” said Michael P. Downing, deputy chief commanding officer of the LAPD’s counterterrorism and criminal intelligence bureau.

Detectives scored a break June 3 when they went to talk to a woman believed to be his girlfriend. She refused to open the door and it became apparent Alexik was hiding out there. After a brief standoff with SWAT officers, Alexik surrendered.

Some investigators believe comparisons to Jason Bourne are unfair on the fictional spy.

“He got caught,” Detective Dan Logan said. “When I interviewed him, he didn’t knock me out, take my gun and take my recorder like in the movies. He’s not as smart or resourceful as the Jason Bourne character.”

Black Vampires versus Black Werewolves…NO!

In Nigsta-Piece Theater

Tonight at work, I’m having a conversation with one of the young bucks. Homie just lost his Thunderkitten designation about 4 months ago when his baby boy was born. Anyway, he kind of sees me as a big brother/role model/confidant type for whatever reason…and most times I feel obligated to oblige him because well, he’s got his head on straight at 20 years old. Cats that age need to be made aware that they’re appreciated for not acting like assholes and knuckleheads.

We’re chopping it up about why I am the way I am *he asked me how come I’m always reading books, do people make fun of me for being a geek, how come I don’t fuck with niggashit, etc* and he drops the goddamn bomb on me…Bloodz vs Wolvez. With goddamn “Z”s at the end.

null

Evidently, this movie is about a gang of black vampires that gets into a turf war with a gang of, yes you guessed right, a gang of black werewolves. No, I have not seen this. Will I watch it? I’m seriously considering it because it looks REE-EFFING-DICULOUS. They have it on Netflix. lmao
