What’s In A Name?

Everybody has a name; and luck of the draw being what it is I ended up with a funny sounding… I mean unique one. I have one of those names that some folks would call distinctive, which is another way of saying that it’s a not very common. As a youngster my mom would tell me that I had a distinguished name whenever I came home from school upset because my classmates would tease me about my name. ‘PillowTalk’ is the name that they used to callme and then they’d all laugh at me. I would sometimes have to hold back the tears. Over the years I have learned to accept and take pride in my name and in the process I have gained a lot more than I bargained for. This is a true story…partially.

I’d Rather Be Dead…

People have been using the phrase: “I’d rather be dead” for about as long as I can remember. From the first girl that I asked for a kiss, all the way up until recently when I invited a friend over to my house to watch the Cleveland Browns play. Folks for some reason just seem to like throwing that phrase around. I’m pretty sure that; with the exception of a few religious extremists, people don’t mean that they’d literally rather be dead. If they did then it would indicate that they have a very serious problem with prioritizing and people have way too much common sense for that to be a problem or do we? I recently noticed some things that made me wonder if we as a society really do have our priorities in order. This is a true story… partially.

Who did YOU vote for & Why ?

People are talking politics these days. It’s like everywhere you go someone is talking about candidates, issues or taxes. People are talking politics in the barber shops and grocery stores. I’ve even heard people talking about politics at football games and in restaurants. It’s a good sign to see so many people talking about the state of our government.
But what is not a good sign is some of the things that people are saying. People are literally voting for the candidate that had a cookout last week and served up ‘a mighty fine plate of ribs’. For the life of me I could not make the connection between making executive decisions and cooking ribs. In the past few weeks I have asked people why they voted the way they did, and I’ve decided to put together this list of what I consider to be the 23 Oddest Reasons for Choosing a Candidate. This is a true story…partially.

Let’s Have An Old Fashioned War

I can’t stand the fact that there’s so much damn War in the world today. Everybody is fighting everybody else and any stupid ass reason will do. Half the time you can’t even keep up. I got a solution for all this madness: Let’s do it like they did it in the old days. I got a couple of option s for your ass too.
1) Instead of an all out war, just let the nations leaders bang ! put ’em in the ring and let ’em knuckle up. Loser has to shut the fuck up.
