You know the last few days I have really been focused on the launch of my latest website “House Mixes by DJ Shhh!“. It represents my love for House Music as well as creating House Mixes. But if you know me up close and personal you would know that this site is a culmination of my time spent hosting BTR (Blogtalk Radio) Shows, having my own live internet radio station, and having the mixes downloaded by many people around the world. That is such a GREAT feeling to know the mixes were good enough for someone to do that.
But just as much as I can talk about what feels good about it, this post is not about that. It is about the things that “PISS ME OFF” not just about the business and growing in it, but also things I see everyday. And the sad part is it seems people have not only become more word sensitive, but also desperate and stupid.
Like I ride public transportation to work everyday and here in DC/MD/VA we have Smartrip Cards.
Now riders have a choice to either pay the fare (which was just recently raised for the second time in 1 year) or use the Smartrip Card. There is a PRO and CON to having this card. The PRO is all you have to do is run it across a scanner and you are on your way. The CON is it also has the RFID Chip in it. Now if you are unfamiliar with the RFID Chip I will provide the link to a video about that chip at the end of this post. But the thing that “MAKES ME SICK” is the person who will get in front of everyone when the bus pulls up to add fare on their card. Thus holding up the people and the bus. And the thing that burns my britches even more is the person that only puts the exact fare on their card.
I mean DAMN…did you not pass a subway station where you could have added the fare on the card? Why use the card if you are only paying the minimum fare? Oh let’s not forget those folks with the baby carriages…does the sign NOT show a picture of the carriage folded? Or those DAMN people that get on the bus and stand right at the front on their DAMN cell phones blocking the way for folks to get on and off. And let’s not forget those folks who take up 2 seats for nothing. Move the HELL over…let someone sit down. Another thing that makes me sick is when a BROTHER does not offer his seat to a lady. I have been guilty of that a few times but I will give my seat up more than often.
Special dedication going out to those LOUD ASSED children, tweens (who want to be grown) and teenagers. SHUT THE HELL UP!!! We are either on our way into work or just coming from work to support your NO JOB WANTING/HAVING ASSES and the last we need to hear is your lack of respect and home training in public. The best way to fool people and have them think you have some intelligence is to simply SHUT THE HELL UP!!! Can’t forget about those mommas who allow lil’ Tay-Tay to act like a DAMN fool at home and now you in public and you can’t get him/her to sit down and be quiet. Here’s a tip…beat that lil ass before you leave home and let them know that’s what they will get if they act up in public. Learn to make that face my grandmother made when I was small. It scared the HELL OUT OF ME.
Oh yeah….I LOVE MY BBW’s but I am not too fond of OBBW’s (Over-BBW). You know them ones that take up a seat and a half, walking all slow pulling a roller bag and you can’t get by them to catch that train or bus. You know the ones that are in the middle of the elevator and you can’t get by. The ones that make them sudden stops. I know GOD didn’t put side view mirrors on your shoulders but if you see folks walking faster than you, move to the side and let them pass before you walk. They won’t get mad and you won’t get hurt. And to the woman who come out of their houses with clothes on they knew they should have changed (i.e. 2 DAMN SMALL)…look in the mirror and ask yourself that one question…WHAT WOULD JESUS SAY? And this is to include the COUGARS. Ya’ll are off the chain. I understand just because you are older than most it doesn’t mean you are dead. But your stuff sags including the skin on your face. And if it doesn’t you must be a STOLLARD & PERKINS patient….ROFLMAO
Seriously…your days of tight youthful is gone…it doesn’t mean you are not entitled to have fun, be loved, and even have sex. But DAMN where do you draw the line of maturity and just plain “DUMB-ASSED MOVE”?
Now to my FAKE-Assed Rebels. Those kats that are stuck in the time warp thinking we need to get the man. You dumb asses!!!! DO you know that your game plan is a universally known plan. Too many of ya’ll have share your plan with the world. And you are too stupid to see that you have to either shut up or change your plan. Honestly they are no longer fighting with karate or hands. Folks are getting plucked off like pedals on flowers. And the Black Panthers have all but retired. So to keep showing up in public with you camouflage clothes or your black whatever (even when it’s hot outside, don’t your dumb ass know black draws heat?) is nothing but a real sign saying “Call the Police, I am about to do something.
And for GOD’s SAKE would you young men PULL YOUR DAMN PANTS UP!!! I am so sick of seeing your drawers. The shit is old. Stupid ass did you know that is a sign of being someone’s BITCH in jail? Even though you may not be in jail it is still a played out fad. And you got the nerve to wear skinny jeans hanging off your asses. OMG….THAT IS SO GAY!!!! Little girls for GOD’s SAKE….just because you have begun to develop does not mean you have to wear less clothes. Keep your under aged ass covered up!
Now for the business side…After having been in my field for over 10++ years I have come to the conclusion that corporate is nothing but PIMPIN’ & HUSTLIN’ on the legal tip. What does that mean…Companies HUSTLE their products and services. Meanwhile they PIMP us to do the work, pay us less than we are worth and give us GREAT responsibility, and take more of our pay than they should get. And LEGALLY we have to basically put all we have on the line to prove they have wronged or abused us. And even if we prove that they have we will die before we get what is due us. They have even gone as far as giving some of our own people nice size paychecks to infiltrate our communities and race. I MEAN I AM JUST KEEPIN IT REAL!!! I have been let go, fired, laid-off, written up, reprimanded, given bad reviews, and even looked over just because I called out the LIE!!! All because they say I knew what was the REAL TRUTH. I have to listen to someone tell me all about what I could have and this person wants to throw on the table all this BULL about them knowing where I am coming from because they grew up in “Da Hood“. Most of the kats I know that are true to who they are and where they came from have to fight their superiors everyday. Just because they won’t sit there and take the lie.
They see things for what they are and get called to the table for it. And the sad part is the person running things has NO CLUE how to run the ship. Then you have those WORK HARD, GOT TO PROVE MYSELF by snitching and kissing up kind of folks overseeing us. I had a co-worker tell me and I quote “I am cut to obey rules“. I like to wanna laugh dead in his face. So you are gonna spend the rest of your life waiting for them to tell you when you can move ahead? BULLSHIT!!! If they really don’t care about who you are, and what you bring to the game…what makes you think they are concerned about your wanting to move ahead? And what about the brother or sister that has been given a little more water to swim in their pool. They have the responsibility of saying who can and who can’t swim in the pool. (This is a metaphor) All they do is look for those people who will be down for the pool cleaning while they sit in the lawn chair soaking up rays, and when you ask to swim they tell you some crap like “If you just stick with me…I’ll let you swim soon“. They are the ones that take all the credit for your work and are quick to remind you they are concerned about how they look so do you best job and they will try to make sure you get you due compensation….Right Jay? This dude knew I had the right stuff to make it happen, he also knew I wasn’t gonna just let him string me along and when the time came to do the right thing…he thought about himself. Took food right out of my families mouth and didn’t give one good SHIT about what was gonna happen to me. THAT’S REAL. Forget him supposedly being a man of GOD. He threw his brother under the bus. He is the third “Q” I have had a bad interaction with.
I am sure some of you REAL FOLKS can identify. It is getting late but I am not finish….until next post….that’s my 2 cents, spend it wisely.
