Dying of thirst

Thirst’y (adjective) [thurstee]
1.       desiring

Having a strong desire or craving     



Ladies and gentlemen does the aforementioned statement apply to you? If it does then you M ‘am or Sir may be thirsty. And that does not bode well for companionship.  Now I know what you’re thinking , maybe,  I’m not thirsty I just like to show my interest and if the other person can’t hang then it’s THEIR fault.  No….  thirstiness is not sexy at all. It’s actually pretty irritating and confusing on how somebody can be so damn desperate. Thirstiness is a form of abuse.  When I say I have to get off the phone to do something and you plead for me to not go..that’s ABUSE.. Your abusing my time. When a woman accepts your drink you bought and you FOLLOW her all around the club like a baby duck…that’s ABUSE..Your abusing her patience. When you send a text message asking where someone is AFTER leaving more than 1 message…that’s ABUSE. Your abusing someone’s LAST nerve.  I’ve compiled a list that are a few examples of signs of thirst. If you’re seeing yourself over and over in this list PLEASE SEEK HELP.

1.       CALLING/TEXTING MULTIPLE TIMES IN A DAY:
Chances are if you call/text somebody and  can’t reach them they are (say it with me ) BUSY!!!
Don’t bombard someone with messages over and over again if its not an emergency. AND by emergency I mean
somebody died, your house was robbed  etc… Not something like “what movie did you say you want to see again?”

2.       PROVING A POINT :
The only thing worse than someone who is thirsty is someone who is VERY thirsty. Case in point having the need to prove a point to impress a mate. Normally your 5’5 self wouldn’t have dared to talk so reckless to the 6’10 350 pound gentlemen that bumped into you. But something in that pea brain head of yours said it might be cool to get into a fight to impress old girl in the corner. Show her how hard I am. VERYSTUPIDIDEA.COM .  Tough guys are really cool to men. While women want a man to have their back they don’t want to keep bailing you out the jail because somebody “looked” at you wrong.
          

3.       PERPS:
These people are far worse than the last two because you can at least admit the character flaw. Perps or fakers are very low because being real and honest doesn’t appeal to  them. Fake jewelry, rented car, borrowed clothes from your home girl closet, fake accents, overly loud, have a gun but won’t actually pull it are but mere symptoms of the perp. It’s not 1993 when you could lie and say you related to the members of Jodeci. We have a thing called the internet (and FaceBook) and its far too simple to check out who and what you really are. You aint got to lie to kick it…


4.       SIMPIN’ AINT EASY BUT ITS ALL GOOD:
Simp behavior is easy to classify because  it’s funny as hell. Thirstiness is usually shown by being Overly available.
Doing dumb stuff like listening to your potential interest cry about no good cheating Keith, taking her and her son to dinner and a movie,  taking her to the  store and babysitting her son while she goes to  her jump offs JAMALs house to “release” some stress. That’s simp behavior. Ladies just because you like a man doesn’t mean he needs to get all the relationship benefits upfront. Cooking for him, cleaning HIS dirty butt crib, giving money and just getting played left and right. PLEASE grow a backbone and require people treat you as well as you treat them.

5.       LATE , LOUD AND WRONG:
This is fairly simple to notice. If you have this need to be loud or “extra” then you’re thirsty. As Denzel Washington said in his portrayal of Frank Lucas in American Gangster  “The loudest person in the room is the weakest person in the room.”  Don’t start nothing you can’t finish. If you open doors..always open doors..don’t do it for 4 months then quit. Which leads back to watching your mouth. People will always remember what you promise them. It’s human nature to remember what benefits you.  So either do it or don’t… you will or wont. Stop being so thirsty.

Ode to Slow Jams

The slow jam is one of Gods best gifts to mankind. Nothing fits in more scenarios than slow quality music.  Spring time its the anthem to new love affairs. Summer time its the Greek chorus to passionate sweaty love making. Fall the slow jams become a way of falling in love unlike any other season. Winter is when the slow jam works best. Freezing cold outside but warm inside your home. Inside your bedroom the smell of fresh lovemaking dampens the air. Fingers and limbs interlocked making a human tangled and satisfied mess.
The perfect slow jam makes any regular and/or dull moment seem all the more better.  It can turn the cooking of a meal into a  kitchen floor escapade. The perfect slow jam can make a woman getting undressed into an experience no strip club can touch. See I don't want to make love to rap song Mr. T-Pain. I want to show my lady who I am as a man with some Luther or H-Town playing. Every man can attest that as kids we imagined we had superpowers. Watching our favorite hero we always had the theme music in our head. Nothing changes when it comes to being with our woman. The right song can turn mild mannered Clark Kent into a primal Mandingo Superman. See when saving a woman from sexual dissatisfaction you want to more powerful than a locomotive. You want to  able to stroke a woman in a single good bound. Now we've talked about the good ways a slow jam can enhance your life. To be fair the perfect slow jam can make you unhappy as well.  Hearing Jasmine Sullivan's "In love with another man" still stings as a man who has been cheated on. Ginuwines "Only when you want me" was the soundtrack to my 11th grade year. Anybody who's been cheated on or the cheater has a special CD or play list that does nothing but serve as a remainder.
I say this ode to the perfect slow jam because most of us would not have kids if it wasn't for R.Kelly 12 Play. Most of us would not be here if it was not for El Debarge Love me a special way, Marvin Gaye Distant Lover and some cognac. I say an ode to slow jams because the right play list could make an unworkable situation in college work for some reason.  I say an ode to slow jams because I made the paper in the top of the hole cassette tape Quiet Storm mix tapes. I say ode to slow jams because I gave that tape to a special girl in high school who laughed at it.  I say ode to slow jams because slow jams can and will always make you smile on the inside & out.

The Pimp Game better known as Life

Life has a set of rules that people seem to not get.  Life is not  chess or checkers at all. Life is really a pimp game . Parker Bros. has not  made a game yet that is like life. Now when I say the pimp game I am not demonising nor endorsing pimps and the such. What I am saying is that pimps have a certain code they use to break hoes and count bread. Such logic applies to the real world. Ill give you a few examples to better illustrate.

TALK GAME IMMACULATE: We are all grown ups. That being said open your mouth and speak up. A closed mouth does not get fed. It gets ignored by those in power. That being noted please remember that a good talk game does not include gaming people. Being extra slick with your tongue is a sure fire way to get a horrendous rep.

DON'T PULL IT IF YOU AIN'T GONNA USE IT: We are in a society that has made acting bitch made into something fashionable. This rule to the game speaks to keeping your word. Many from the hood know this phrase in reference to a gun. Once pulled you WILL have to use it. Once you make a threat of that magnitude at some point a gun will be shot. In life be very careful about when and who you pull out on. There are some people that are sleeping dragons. When asleep they pose no threat but once awaken with YOUR bs you have a monster problem. Do not create problems if your not able to handle it all the way.

INNER MONOLOGUES DON'T LIE: Often in life we deal with people and are surprised by how they don't receiprocate what we give. Meaning that what we put out is not given back in return.  Usually we have a eureka moment where we notice how full of shit these people were anyway. Realistically speaking most people are bad liars. There was a old greek tale about a woman named Cassandra. The gods cursed her with the ability to always tell the truth. Problem was that they also cursed her with the fact none would believe her. Your inner monologue is you cassandra truth. Don't ignore that early warning system God has in us. All you need do is to quiet down the outside noise. You'll see your recognize bs alot sooner.

NO APOLOGY: Stop asking and nquiring from people about your life. They dont have to be in it..you do.
Majority of the mistakes we make are from getting too much advice from people that honestly do not know. It boggles my mind how you won't take a McDonalds chef advice on car maintenance but you'll listen to your single and lonely friends about your relationship. Anything worth wanting or having is worth the hits. Take em and shut up.
