2. If you are tuning in from InChiCity.com and this is your first time reading this ‘you are about to experience something so cold!’

3. This is what’s called a “list” and it’s comprised of various thoughts that cross my <s>ADHD afflicted</s> mind in regards to happenings in politics, sports, love, music, pop culture and my life in general…….among other things!

10. “His father was a Black Panther?!?!?! My father was a Black STONE!” - Geli

12. Did anyone notice that they barely touched on the issues facing this country at the Republican National Convention?

22. Although it did feel good to scream-sing “Hip Hop Junkies” and “Sometimes I Rhyme Slow”

23. Thankfully Gustav wasn’t as bad as Katrina and we seemed more prepared

24. But still people lost their lives and homes and there are apparently more potential hurricanes on the way so still keep the people of that region in your thoughts and prayers

30. I knew she’d come around. I mean…..I’m The Teej. The babies ALWAYS love The Teej

31. Do I smell babysitting duties around the corner tho?

32. Would they hurry up with the debates? I wanna see Barack dismantle McCain’s crusty ass

33. And when do the VP candidates get to debate? I have a feeling Biden is gonna mollywhop Palin

34. RIP little Nequiel Fowler…..God bless you

35. “When I die I hope no one who ever hurt me cries. And if they cry, I hope their eyes fall out. And a million maggots that had made up their brains crawl from the empty holes and devour the flesh that covered the evil that passed itself off as a person that I probably tried to love…” - Nikki Giovanni “When I Die”

36. That is soooo deliciously evil….I love it so!

37. Don’t you hate it when you notice a lil nick or tiny cut on your body and cant remember how you got it, but you KNOW it’s not from kinky sex?

38. Speaking of sex….Ive made up my mind that the 3 very best things in life are Music, Sex and French Fries. In that order. Don’t bother to try and change my mind about this matter either

39. Oh the ups and downs of life and love I tell you. I’m not ashamed to admit that with the career stuff, the situation with my mama, and the current state of Her and I….yeah I’m kinda pretty damn crazyinsane at the moment…..

40. ….to the point that the other day I chain smoked 3 cigarettes in a row…..‘and I don’t even smoke nigga. Ain’t no joke!

41. The lady called down to the front desk and explained that she’s from Arkansas and she doesn’t know how to work the remote control

42. *sigh*…….but I betcha her ass will be voting this coming November. Scary, right?

45. Once again I did the most with the likka

46. How I managed to <s>stay passed out and</s> sleep for 6 hours on my bathroom floor is beyond me!

47. You would think at almost 31 yrs old I would get it thru my thick head that likka on a empty stomach is a no no

48. But hey…..it is what it is. I’ll get it together eventually I’m sure

49. Try to be kind and understanding to people. Chances are they are more than likely going through it just like you

50. Hey, I started out mopping the floor just like you guys. But now… now I’m washing lettuce. Soon I’ll be on fries; then the grill. And pretty soon, I’ll make assistant manager, and THAT’S when the big bucks start rolling in!” - Maurice “Coming To America”

*Inspiration : Nequiel Fowler, when Eddie Murphy movies were good, watching the RNC, My TT, this past Labor Day weekend, French Fries, all the peeps that gave me advice on how to approach my very first blog here, and Her.

Oh and please tell me you are kiddin’ about T-Pain remaking one of my favorite church songs…if not, he may have just sang his ass all the way to hell. You can’t play wit’ Jesus. He done made enough songs, he ain’t gotta borrow God’s! Anyways, though….list was hittin’….AJ

  3. Christine Says:

    I am so with you on numbers 32 and 33. That is really where the rubber will meet the road and the annoying political jargen will end. Easy to throw stones when hiding behind a wall from across the room. “If you’ve got something to say…say it to my face!!!”. I CAN’T WAIT!!!!

    Also…I am soooooooooooo with you on #38 but reverse the order for me. Nothing is better than McDonalds and Bar Louie french fries with honey mustard. LOL!!!

  4. Roni Says:

  20. Monalisa Murray Says:

    I see you Teej… U got me crackin up as usual…can’t wait for the full Niggerdom blog…LOL-xoxo

  21. Fanai Says:

    I must say, I frown and hiss everytime I see T-Pain in that jackball top hat. I understand that when you’re paid, you see yourself a bit differently, but it’s crystal-clear that he looks like a jackass and the unfortunate thing is…it doesn’t help him sell records. We coloreds don’t need much..we only like to dance and eat watermelon so I guess the top hat is solely for our amusement. COOL!..a freebie;)

    …I guess, I could’ve chosen to rant about Obama..but we all know how great he is..so I chose T-Pain.

    Love ya!! You’re off to a great start!!

  22. Noe Says:

    Dam, I guess now I gotta leave comments everywhere. You are sick, but that’s part of your charm and so worth it. lol

    7. SMH too…

    13. Is it just me or does McCain really remind anybody else of Dr. Evil from Austin Powers?!

    21. Funny thing. I was there, but never made it over to the pavillion. I know, shame on me…

    40. Dam, that’s deep son.

    42. Scary as Hell!

    btw, Congrats!

  32. Sparkle Says:

  33. Sparkle Says:

  34. His Andy Says:

Likely to never send a text again (lol - whatever…but come to think of it I haven’t received one from you in a while). “Mollywhop” ah ha ha ha ha (WTF) - you just be pullin stuff out your (_l_) but it’s hella funny! Chain smoked 3 cigs in a row…what the hell??? And as requested - I DID NOT READ 45-48….but YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT I KNOW what it’s pertaining too :oP

  35. A Diva Says:

    Yea Teej! U Rock! I am so happy for you taking it to the next level, now even more people will get to enjoy you like I do :-)

  36. Evi Says:

    Hahahaa!!!! Very entertaining as usual Teej!

  37. whitney-margeaux Says:

  42. GeLi made in 1980 Says:

    hahahahahahaha! This is why I love you Teej! Hilarious! And F.Y.I. My Dad was a Black Stone, LOL

  43. Jessica LaShawn Says:

    Ok,
    I agree with you. I think the Republican party insulted our intelligence. They dont even cnsider Obama a threat to be honest. Come On a real thug black dude with a couple of degrees… how can we as Americans expect him to rule our country sucessfully. That type of thinking is a slap in the face to me. Ive met Obama had a good conversation with him and his plan this brother is For Us By Us and we as true americans… you know the ones that actually have to struggle and hustle… we understand and respect that. America is the land of if you dont get it take it… and thats what Obama will do. Thats what we as middle and lower class income families and communities have to do. The fact the Republican party didnt adress the lack of quality educational reform, youth intervention programs, and community development plans. What about the whole issue with regentrification and economic isolation. Hell I was pissed. I am also pissed that all of thes Obama gun hoe democrats didtnt even respectthe political process enough to even watch the republican national convention. What about those point TJ? sorry i cant spell check right now.had to vent lol

  44. calina Says:

    Oh yeah, we movin’ on up!!!!….Got to love Teej’s list. This site is lucky to have you, son!

  45. Fox B Says:

    You know those folks who were at the RNC don’t live in our country TEEJ… they don’t have the issues that we do.

    They also don’t know how to make the most of a package of Ramen… and in America… Ramen is about to be a top commodity.

    Good to see your swagger getting across the blog-iverse.
    streets is watching… keep it gangsta boo boo.

  46. Tony/Tondalaya Says:

    5. This one almost made me stop reading but I’m glad that I went on
    9. I won’t be running either they dig up shit from way back when…
    12. I noticed that but did you notice that nobody at the Republican Convention could dance? If they, GOD FORBID, they win I will pray daily and nightly for McCain because the thought of Palin being President scares me more than the thought of McCain. She is scarier than Freddie, Jason, the Omen and Bush put together. Somebody once said that “real life is stranger than fiction” this election is proving that.
    14. T.J. I’m scared. I will pass the word. But as Mark Twain said “a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on his shoes.” Truth is there are more of us than there are of them but they are not only registered to vote they go out and vote… we’ve got some work to do!
    15. YES WE CAN!!!
    33. I agree the VP Debate is going to be poetic justice!
    38. Really… Music, Sex and French Fries? We need to talk! Or maybe I need to talk to “HER”
    40. Those things will kill you!
    48. But it’s fun for now ain’t it?

    T.J. you are the bestess! I made that world up just of you. Go head brother… do ya thing!

  47. Lesley Says:

    You know I love a good list?? :) This one is for the books. So many things to touch upon! (And I’m touching in no particular order mind you.)

    I can’t wait for the debates either but I have a strong feeling that those fucktards who back McCain and Palin will somehow justify their stupidity.

    Tiny cuts that aren’t sexy time related are no bueno.

    “When I die I hope no one who ever hurt me cries. And if they cry, I hope their eyes fall out. And a million maggots that had made up their brains crawl from the empty holes and devour the flesh that covered the evil that passed itself off as a person that I probably tried to love…” - Nikki Giovanni “When I Die”

    Uh, Teej, this is some of the realest ish ever wrote!! I know I love Sonia but this is just too dope.

    You’re right honey, we must be kind to others cause we’re all fighting some sort of battle. Most def one of the reasons I love you. Compassion pays.

    Music, sex, french fries??? Not bad, not bad. Mine would be: Zen, music, sex, sneakers, avocados. :) I know you narrowed it down to three but I couldn’t do it… I’m simply not that talented.

    T Pain… *shakes head wearily*

  48. Toi Says:

    I’m so proud of you baby!

    The whole world must know how raw you can give it…

    Keep it cummin ;)

  49. Kai Says:

    So you made it in my favorites list. Very impressive young grasshoppa’.

    You advance to the next level-
    (she bows, turns slowly and disappears into the smokey mist)
