Nut Shell

If you wanted to know why I am so aggravated, it is simply because I do not understand PEOPLE. I peruse the pages of My-space often and I view countless pictures of some individual "flossing" their pseudo-wealth. I love seeing those many outfits and and club pictures of guys and gals living it up; I truly enjoy the many vacation shots of either MIAMI or some Caribbean island. I also can not live without the many photos of those countless attractive people out there. I am not here to bashing but rather to enlighten those dim halogen lambs. Instead of spending such funds on meaningless artifacts trying to fill a void within yourself that is a bottomless pit, get a bite of reality. Understand that such purchases and vague expressions of sexiness only hinder you as a person. The mother of this piece is a beautiful documentary called, "When Leeves Break." This view point depicts the horrific events of hurricane Katrina and it's aftermath(which may have been more horrible). The saddest part of this "doc" is when a few random Black folks are looting department stores. They snatch video games and t.v.'s; and the first thought that came to mind was "nigga you ain't got a home." I have seen this H.B.O. special many times and it continues to be a difficult thing to watch. Seeing my people placed in such difficult circumstances is hard to absorb. I'm not attempting to be some sort of preachy son-of-a-gun which sounds like it; I just want people to get a grip. Nigga that shit you buying don't mean shit! You may ask yourself "what makes this motherfucker think he can judge me?" It's simple, I was that nigga. Now I am an angry Blackman because I am disgusted with my environment. If you think I am full of it, then please meet me one day and we can take a trip down pathetic lane. We will view 10 clothing stores; 8 fast food chains; 6 bum fights; 4 icey ladies; a foot action and foot locker; 9 cell phone spots; 2 pawn shops; 15 hair product stores; a nail salon; and last but not lease, no hood can do without 95 Chinese restaurants(ummm, um, we sure love to eat in the ghetto). I am addressing the South Bronx but all "hoods" look alike from the Heights to Oakland. I must reiterate that I am not Jesus so I can not judge you. I am simply asking that the next time you attempt to purchase some shit you don't truly need or want, you think about the bigger picture and spend your cash on something more meaningful. I can imagine that some individuals may feel somewhat offend by this blog(because that's how us GHETTTOOO peoples bes, we sen-so-tive). Be objective and I am sure you will realize that you too are living in the Matrix and the real world will have you some what of an "Aggravated Man as well.
