Popularity is Overrated

waaay back in high school, i wanted to be more popular. not that i was unpopular, but i was in all honor's classes and the band for Christ's sake i wished i was tighter with more of the "in" crowd... more specifically, i wished i was playing naked twister "tighter" with more of the "in" girls

Skee-Lo wishes he was a little bit taller, that he was a baller... R. Kelly wishes... Ray J wishes he had one wish... why is Ray J relevant. what has he done other than be Brandy's brother and bang Kim Kardashian... what the hell has Kim Kardashian done other than bang Ray J on film... why do i always press the little "button" on the top of my fast food drink, you know: Coke, Diet, Tea, Other

so fast forward to present times... i've grown into my big ass head and nose a sense of man-style, swag if you will, that seems to work for me. i'm no Idris Elba, but i get my share of attention on karaoke night at J.R. Cricket's in social settings...

...AND IT SUCKS!!!

...not that it sucks to be loved. that serves as a nice little ego boost and is most times flattering. what sucks is being "out" and having to count on other females to be respectful of the fact that i'm obviously on a date... not even that i always know these other chicks, just that Black women in particular (yeah, i said it... shoot me) have a way of getting their point across non-verbally, whether that point is to me that she's interested or to my date that she ain't shit her presence is not welcomed...

it sucks, like that chick who lived in Dallas that i met thru BlackPlanet because now i'm feeling a need to apologize for other people's behavior, people who did not come out of my scrotum and as such i shouldn't feel accountable for... it sucks like Lebron in the 4th quarter, like Master P movies

Kem is still underrated!!!
