Unfortunate Truths Part IV

***Oh, yeah my brothers and I are launching The Power Circle blog on September 4th stay tuned for that the shit will be epic.***

I'm back with the 4th installment of unfortunate truths by now you should know how the spiel goes so on with the blog

You're not royalty (Unless of course you are royalty)
I know as a kid I was sold the dream during black history month that we were all descendants of kings and queens in Africa. Yep, according to my 2nd grade teacher we were all living high on the hog running shit in the motherland until the white man came along rounded us up and tossed on a boat to America to be slaves. (Damn white man why you do us like that? Oh, yeah free labor; silly me.) But in actuality it was more like for every King and Queen there was like 100 royal penis cleaners. Most of us are descendants of royal penis cleaners or some other random subjects under the crown but we ain't kings, queens, dukes, lords, counts or earls. Now that we got the history out of the way let's bring it to the present day. Kings have KINGDOMS; that includes the land they rule and subjects. While you're reading this during your break on your smart phone or pretending to work in your cubicle flipping back and forth between screens none of this is very royal acting of you. What are you the king of? Not the apartment that you rent or the home you are still paying the mortgage on. Stop crowning yourselves.

The parent of your child ain't shit and that's kind of your fault
The truth is you DID NOT investigate the character of this person enough to have unprotected sex with them. People often require others to provide more proof of responsibility and quality of life before they let them borrow their car over fucking sans condom. You let them hit it raw and now they're acting rachet, being an absentee parent, and fucking up your money; well that's your bad. Go ahead, own up to it then get over it.

You know better but you don't do better
People know right from wrong but people are still cheating on their spouse, taxes and words with friends. We as people regularly know the right path to take but we indulge in all types of foolishness. We spend money we should be saving, we eat more food than we need and the tobacco industry would be out of business because on the wrapper it's says this shit is all bad but we ignore it. So if you think your mistakes or the next person mistakes are because they didn't know any better than you may be the only one that truly doesn't know any better.

That's right you won't do be doing better

Fellas Prepping For Choosing Season 2012

Yesterday I rode around without turning on the AC in the whip and today I feel like I should have left the house with a jacket; all that only amounts to one thing... Choosing season is around the corner nigga. Those roof top day parties, cookouts and sundress filled happy hours are going to dry up faster than Ochocinco's career options after head butting that bitch from Basketball Wives. With choosing season being just around the corner it's time to get down to brass tax (I've always wanted to work that into a blog; yeah me and shit).

Since choosing season can prove to be a tad bit on the expensive side; we men should definitely streamline our focus on women we'd like to see in more places than happy hour and our bedroom. Cutting back on the thirsty DM's to bitches on Twitter who are half naked in their avi's and set daily thirst traps. Nah B, we can't afford to get caught up chasing pussy that we wouldn't even want to spend the night at the crib. You got to focus on the big 3 questions before you even set up that first date.

Is she cool enough to make it to the spring?
Once you get passed the roundness of her ass, the cuteness of her face and the perkiness of her titties it's a person there. A real person with dreams, fears, aspirations, insecurities, morals, ideals and a shit load of issues. Before you spend a dime you need to get the best possible reading on those issues. You need to vet this woman like you're thinking about asking her to be your running mate in the upcoming election. Google her, look at every single picture she has been tagged in on FB and read the last 2 weeks of her tweets. Nothing could be worst than wasting money, time and effort courting a chick all choosing season only to cut her loose in the first week if cuffing season because you can't stand the bitch.

Do you want to bring this chick to Thanksgiving?
Sometimes a chick is just good enough for you. You over look some of her less than charming ways because she a blast to hang out with and ya'll are just having fun. And all that is great but how are you going to explain her to grandma and them? The first major event of cuffing season is Thanksgiving and not making a well perceived first impression on the family can ruin your season before the first snow. You know it's all smiles and "I'm so happy to meet you"'s until that car ride home and she turns down the radio then turns to you and ask "Your momma don't like me, do she?" Will she pass the family test? Do you have a believable reason not to bring her?

Can you possibly be snowed in with this woman?
Whoever you take into cuffing season will definitely be your secure source of action for that wintry weather that brings major cities to a halt and local governments to a close. Being snowed in sounds great until the cable and internet goes out and you've already watched "Money Talks" 5 times. You might not even know it but the slightest wrong move (like that "good morning" tweet to your work boo) and shit will get realer then it's ever been. In the span of 2 days cuddling, fucking and watching comedies on Netflix can turn into full fledge hate when you realized you're stuck in the house and can't get 20 minutes to yourself.  Can you be stuck in the same house for 48 hours plus with this woman with out going bath salts crazy on one another?

Happy choosing season

Ladies Prepping For Choosing Season 2012

Did you go un-chosen last season?

Are still clinging to that "single by choice" line?

Do you often get cut before the 2nd or 3rd date?

First off there is no such thing as "single by choice"
If you think for one moment that if the man of your dreams was interested in you and you'd pass him up because you're "single by choice" stop reading this blog right now. Nothing that I'm about to write will amuse or help you in any form nor fashion. Now for the women that are left... being "single by choice" is much more like being hungry in the food court but not interested in anything being offered. So in turn you're not single by choice; you're single by having no desirable options and that's totally different. Is everybody clear on that logic? Good.

Look how you wanted to be treated
If you're out in these streets with your titties all out and your shorts let the bottom half of you ass hang out niggas are going to act accordingly. That rule also applies for half-naked (or completely naked) bathroom photo shoots plastered on the internet. If you look like a hoe he's going to come at you like hoe. If you're dressed like a lady he still might try to play you like a hoe but when you check him on that shit he won't look at you with the "bitch please" face.

Knowing your worth
We live in a day and time where self-confidence is at an all time high. E-Simping, ego boosting girlfriends and unwarranted "likes" on Instagram/FaceBook pictures has 3's feeling like 5's and 5' feeling like 10's. COMPLIMENTS FROM PEOPLE YOU WOULD NOT FUCK DO NOT COUNT. Wrap your head around that concept. The 56 year old Nigerian custodian with the lisp in your office that calls you beautiful when he comes to empty the trash at your desk doesn't count. Your kids, mom and dad calling you pretty also doesn't count. The dudes hollering out of car windows yelling obscenities like "DAMN you phat as shit shorty!" doesn't count either unless of course you plan on giving them the time of day. If the last 3 dudes you seriously dated are average Joe's that feed you carry-out and watched bootleg Tyler Perry movies with you... then you are an average's Joe dating ass broad. That's your lane; know it and get comfortable with it. When your girlfriend says her man is so great and does this that and the 3rd; don't wonder why you never run across those guys, the answer is this... those guys don't want your ass boo boo.

What you think is marketable might not really be that marketable
Having a car is a plus if he doesn't drive. Having your own place is a plus if you don't have rug rats running around and/or you don't live in a neighborhood that your male suitor may get robbed, shot or car jacked if he visits after the sun goes down. To be perfectly honest it's hard to create an intimate setting with kids yelling "Mommy" repeatedly in the background and the strong urge to look out the window every 15 minutes to see if the rims are still on your car. Having a great job is just about equal to having a job that simply keeps the lights on and stops you from asking for handouts. Unless you're showering men in gifts and/or paying for dates how does he really benefit from your good job? Shit like having your own hair/natural hair, own nails, designer handbags clothes and shoes will always mean far more to you than it does to him.

What is marketable
Men are going to approach you on what they find attractive. So once a man you actually think is worthy of exchanging phone numbers with and getting to know better comes along you need to have your mind right not to scare that man away. The ability to shut the fuck up, the ability to not have the last word every motherfucking time, and having realistic standards are priceless assets. Six page text messages are a no go especially pre-third date. You're having a meaningless debate about how people should just tweet instead of using tweet-grams; just remember you don't have to have the last word because the winner of this debate won't go on rule the free world. If your new potential Him is 5'9, shares an apartment with his brother, went to trade school and is an electrician; don't say your dream man 6'3, with a master's degree, that goes to work in a suit everyday and lives in a townhouse in the city. He doesn't want to hear that shit and obviously that's not the type of dude you can catch because you're talking to him.

Why I Will Never Hire Black People...

...and by Black People I Really Mean Niggers
 
I’ve spent the last 14 years working in a somewhat business professional environment (it can never be all the way professional when niggers are involved). The things I’ve seen niggers do and say on the job makes me really wonder if affirmative action should have some sort of nigger clause. These niggers are really fucking it up for black people.
 
Niggers always want extra credit for shit they’re suppose to do
“I’m always on time for work”, “I don’t ever call out sick” and my personal favorite “My work is always done on time”. For some strange reason niggas think doing the things they were hired to do is doing a good job. I guess what nigga? It’s not; doing what is required of you is simply doing your job doing a good job starts when you go above and beyond your job functions. Niggas ain’t really about that going above and beyond life though.
 
Niggers love to say what they’re not going to do
Niggas love saying what they not about to do almost as much as they like getting paid (and we all know how much niggas love getting paid). Problems at home  “Lil Donnie about the fail the 10th grade I ain’t hardly come in here to be doing this work shit they need to just let me be”. Short of staff “Hold up, Suzie ain’t here, Darnell ain’t here either and April leaving early they better not come over here talking that “cover this cover that" shit they ain’t paying me double ain’t no fucking way I’m doing double the work”. Friday/day before the holiday/day after vacation “They lucky I even showed up today I’m not even in the mood to be working”. Niggas will take anything into consideration to do less work than required.
 
Niggers love to congregate for non-work related reasons
Love and Hip comes on Monday night so you can expect to have the niggas clustered up for a good 15 to 20 minutes to recap the highlights from the show; on company time of course. Lucy from HR might be pregnant by Dave from the mailroom; niggas going to congregate to overlook the facts. Michael got fired for stealing school supplies for his kids; niggas going to congregate to complain about how petty the bosses are for firing him “They know they ain’t gonna miss no fucking pens dawg”. Niggas can’t even smoke alone if a nigga can’t find a smoking buddy they’ll drag a non-smoker along to suck up some of their second hand smoke and shoot the breeze with. Pay attention at the next fire drill watch how fast niggas group together. I swear some people in my office spend 50% of their day chilling at other people’s offices and cubicles.
 
Niggers love to bring their side hustle to the day job
I'm not talking about this selling candy for Jr bullshit. I'm talking totally seperate income streams. I got a jewelry lady, a candy lady and a nigga renting moon bounces and shit on my floor. Two floors down its a nigga that will detail your car in the parking lot for 50 bucks and will do it with no shame. In the winter time a few niggas even pop up with North Face jackets for sale.

Ya’ll gonna have to call the NAACP on me, I ain’t fucking with them niggers

3 Simple Rules to Help You Stop Annoying the Man in Your Life

Women often get a bad rep for being a nag, although some nagging is warranted but a lot of that shit is just insignificant meddling that does nothing more than agitate the man in your life. Here are the top 3 things you need to shut the fuck up about to prolong the life of your relationship and not sabotage one before it even starts. And before you say your HIM has been going for it doesn’t mean that man doesn’t have a breaking point don’t push him there.

Stop comparing shit with women he dated before you

It’s safe to assume that any man you’re dating in your adult life has dated somebody before you. With that said it’s safe to assume all those smooth moves that he used to capture your attention, get you out those boy-shorts and even the moves he used while laying that stroke he picked up and perfected with some other bitch. The same goes with gifts, places he’s taken you and the restaurants you eat at. So yes he did take that bitch “Renée” to Ruth Chris and he enjoyed the food there so much he decided to come back with you. Nobody is reinventing the wheel for you girl so shut the fuck up about it and enjoy the meal.

Realize you are an addition to his life and not his whole fucking life

Most guys had some sort of life before you came along that was filled with friends, hobbies, possibly a struggling rap career, maybe a kid or 2 and the 40 hours a week spent at his day job. Then you came along. Now that you’re here none of that shit stops; you’re just adding to the equation. When in a relationship you cut back on other interest to make room for your current love interest. So on that random Friday night he decides to kick it with Craig and them; don’t sit there on the couch with an attitude like he ain’t with you 4 nights out of the week let man chill with his friends.

 
Stop asking meaningless questions

Him – Hey babe I’m about to walk into this grocery store do you want anything?
Her – But its Wednesday
Him – Huh?
Her – You never go grocery shopping on Wednesday
Him – What does that even mean?
Her – Why are you grocery shopping on a Wednesday?
Him – Because my fridge was empty on a Wednesday
Her – Why are you getting all smart and shit?
Him – Because you’re asking dumb ass questions
And of course an argument ensues. Now this man is walking around Safeway push an empty shopping cart and yelling into a cell phone looking all crazy because you couldn’t just say “yeah baby, pick up a box of Special K and some skim milk”. Overcome that womanly urge to solve mysteries that don’t need to be solved and asking questions that don’t need answering. Save that overwhelming sense of curiosity for shit like what Kanye really sees in Kim K and if Beyonce’s baby is really real.

 
Obeying these rules will aid in keeping your Him yours

Contrary to Popular Belief

I know somewhere along the line some of you were mislead into believing certain things were one way but that clearly isn’t the story. Here’s a short list of things that might not be how you figured it to be.
 
Having natural hair isn't a big deal
“Having a perm is a deal-breaker to me, I need my women natural to have natural hair” – Nobody ever. Nobody but you and your inscent burning shea butter using homies gives a flying fuck about the use of chemicals in your hair. Men only care if your hair looks fucked up when you two are out in the streets no additional fucks shall be given. You know what I say to women when they tell me their hair is natural? Bitch me too and that shit doesn’t make me special either.
 
People are idiots
Like really most people are actually stupid; not like “Dumber and Dumber” stupid but stupid all the same. As a whole we are generally under informed and not necessarily motivated to become informed about the shit that actually matters. We are more obsessed celebrities, fashion and other empty foolishness (like the necessity of $200 dates). If you don’t believe me 60% of the US doesn’t know that sun is a star and if you didn’t know the sun was a star this makes you one of the idiots, but fear not you’re obviously not alone. Plus can anybody explain the sales numbers of Chia pets, booty pops and porn (since you can get it for absolutely free now over the internet but somehow it’s still a million dollar industry).
 
Women are just as shallow as men
We all have our preferences because if we didn’t Match.com, E-Harmony, Christian Mingle and all these other random dating sites wouldn’t require pictures, bios and shit. We men are just more accepting of female requirements (either we meet them or we don’t). You don’t hear short men running around complaining about why women don’t date them; nope they just trick and tell jokes to balance that shit out. Now for fat girls, women with large quantities of kids and other less desirable bitches just seem to bellyache about men being shallow for not wanting to date them.
 
I’m just telling the truth pay me no mind

Be a Lesbian

It’s a lot of ladies out here losing at love. They end up with bad guys, they themselves aren’t ready for a real relationship, don’t actually acknowledge their proper dating range and whole assortment of other issues that lead to relationship failure. In result of all these love losses they actual lower their dating value with unwanted kids, high mileage pussy, crazy exes and slew of other baggage that your possible Mr. Right might not be ready to sign up for. I know, I know, I know your Mr. Right will accept you for you and your kids, pussy mileage and the charge you took because a former “Him” left an 8 ball of coke in your car when ya’ll got pulled over coming home from Red Lobster that one time. That type of thinking will have you well on your way to being a cat lady or a hoarder. Good luck tho.
 
Accepting you for you
The funny thing about falling in love with somebody flaws and all (but mainly baggage) is getting pass the flaws in the first place.  I know despite your flaws you probably think you’re the best thing since sliced cheese but to a grown man living in a respectable and desirable nature, the check to check struggle fest you’re currently living may not seem like a match made in heaven. Honestly speaking most men are looking for a mate and not a new set of bills (unless they tricking). How much building can you really do with a person if they take away more from the table than they put on it?
 
Dyking just might save you
Lesbians except everybody they only have one prerequisite; you most own a vagina. That’s it. You need more than that to get a library card, but for that good ole woman on woman love the requirement pool is very swallow. You’re not as fine as you were 3 kids, 2 baby daddies and 4 abortions ago trust me they care not; it’s a lesbian out there for you. And it’s all types of Lesbo perks. You’ll never get knocked up by your lesbian lover so you can avoid those costly abortions and pregnancy wear and tear on your body. No condoms; you can wash that dildo with soap and hot water then get back to twerking, it will be as good as new. You can share feminine products; Costco has and economy sized box of tampons that will last you and your “Her” until the apocalypse.  You can leave the Lesbo club at anytime and no judgment will be passed; jumping on and off of Team Lesbo is not really frowned upon by the gay or straight community. Winning a physical fight odds are much better; fighting a dude is pretty much a up hill battle for most ladies (don’t go looking for that Tina Turner “What’s Love Got to Do With It” moment) but woman to woman baby you got a chance and you can both go to work with matching black-eyes in the morning.
 
Waiting for Prince Charming
A lot of women are out here kissing a lot of frogs waiting for Mr. Right to come along. Fuck that dumb shit; just kiss a cooch or two while you’re waiting. Dating all these lames ain’t doing nothing but putting a shit load of unnecessary mileage on that pussy. Prince Charming probably ain’t looking for a chick with 2 kids and a belly with tiger stripes on it to ride off into the sunset with. How you gonna meet the man of your dreams when you're not the woman of anybody's dream? Don’t wait until you’ve been fucked over countless times before you say enough is enough. Switch teams and save yourself some stress and keep your stock value high. A bad bisexual bitch will trump a sloppy baby mother everyday of the motherfucking week. Even if Prince Charming never comes along you might find your queen to be. You never know.
 
Team Lesbo is currently taking new recruits and we probably won't miss you
