The “Boy I Tell You…’Urban’ People Are A Trip” List
Categories: Uncategorized
By teej
*If you’re unfamiliar….This is what‚Äôs called a “list” and it‚Äôs comprised of various thoughts that cross my mind in regards to happenings in politics, sports, love, music, pop culture and my life in general. Dont worry…it reads really fast. I promise.
1. “Dealing with alcoholism and afrocentricity/A complex man drawn off simplicity‚Äù ‚Äì Common ‚ÄúThe 6th Sense‚Äù
2. Life is all about balances and dualities people…..please believe me.
3. She said she had a childhood friend named Shapantwon (Sha’Pan’Twon), and knew a set of brothers named Lemonjello (La’Mon’Ja’Lo) and Orangejello (O’Ronge’Ja’Lo)
4. I pray in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost that she was just making that shit up to be funny
5. What else is there to say about the upcoming elections?
6. McLame is wack…..Barack is where it’s at!
7. Alot of states have grace periods beyond the deadline to register so take advantage
8. So I got a chance to watch “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” the other day…..
9. ….if these ol siddity ass chicks aint got the most false senses of entitlement I dun ever seen!!!!
10. “Not to be absolutely certain is, I think, one of the essential things in rationality.” - Bertrand Russell via Itika
11. Somebody get Keyshia Cole’s mama please!!!
12. I just made 5 years at the Hotel Beezy but Im not sure if that means I’m consistent or complacent
13. When you add on the fact that I do hella shit outside the hotel I guess that leans me more towards the consistent side despite all my multi-tasking
14. The AIG guys took $400, 000 of the bailout money and kicked it at the spa? Woooord? Is that what’s hot in the streets?
15. They always find a way to get over, don’t they?
16. Sometimes your friends WILL hurt you. Not necessarily on purpose, it’s just that no one is perfect. You just have to remember in those times that you made them your friend for a reason
17. We all are dealing with SOMETHING. Some of us…more things than others. Try to be compassionate
18. “I don’t understand/why do I stress the (wo)man/when there’s so many bigger things at hand/We could’ve never had it all/We had to hit a wall/so this is inevitable withdrawal/…Did I play myself again?/I should just be my own best friend/and not fuck myself in the head with stupid (wo)men” - Amy Winehouse “Tears Dry On Their Own”
19. Always remember…..all the these thoughts of mine that you read in these lists are just passing thoughts more or less. I’m not necessarily married to any of them
20. White people will do and eat anything if you tell them it’s in fashion or “in season”
21. I swear I saw a white lady eating hay at that restaurant
22. MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT MY RADIO SHOW “SUPERIOR RADIO” EVERY TUESDAY AT 8:30PM CST ON WWW.SWANKSOCIETY.COM
23. Dontcha love how I plug my own shit on my own shit?
24. Any Cubs’ fans out there? Don’t worry…..there’s always next year!!!! 
25. I know my White Sox didn’t fair much better, but hey at least they won 1 game. Plus they’ve won a World Series in THIS lifetime. Something that the ‘Scrubs’ prolly wont ever do
26. Ladies take note……..
27. “If you have to read into anything a man does, you are making excuses. Men are simple. They only get complicated when they aren’t into you” - Naila
28. Naila be spittin’ that ‘Dylan x 5′ hot fiyah son!!!
29. Keish Im praying for you
30. Lord knows I need to be more prayerful
31. So not only does she inform me that she’s already plagiarized one of my blogs and got a good grade on her paper, but then she informs that she’ll be needing even more from me and could I hurry up and write something she could use!
32. Boy I tell you…..”Urban” people are a trip
33. In case you’ve noticed, this list is only 35 items as opposed to 50. I’m tinkering with it b/c I think 50 overwhelms the newbies sometimes
34. btw….I finished this blog kinda ass naked b/c naked is goooooood!
35. “I dunno how you got to be so snooty….you aint but one generation out the projects!” - Khadijah James “Living Single”
*Inspiration : Superior Radio every Tuesday night!, Naila’s words, Amy Wino’s “Tears Dry On Their Own”, and this cwazy life of mine.

Babes I told you time and time again… the Hizzy Bizzy is funding your dreams… That’s why you are able to do all the extra entertaiment and artsy stuff and still pay your bills… Trust; until I sell a script… I will stay on my hustle to pay my rent.
oh and p.s. I did watch the Housewives of the ATL… and I will just keep it to myself… (or text you later and unleash the gates of hell)!
loves,
sylz

#3-Sometimes creativity is a curse…LOL
#14-Man, is that not wild or what? That’s equivalent to the “urban” peeps using their FEMA checks to buy Louis Vuitton purses. HA Let’s see what happens to the AIG folks…
Great list, but I think you owe us another 15. The newbies just have to overcome the extra 15 moments of realness!
October 13th, 2008 at 11:24 am

#3 is unfortunately true. My co worker always marvels at the birth of twins who’s mother named them Orangejello and Lemonjello.
October 13th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
the TRUTH teej. but re: 27 i actually, respectfully disagree. i think men THINK they’re simple but actually they DONT KNOW what they want, and thatz what makes things so damn complex. a man may want u but he dealin with his own insecurities and shit. that noise makes it COMPLICATED and its what drives women crasay.
on the flip, i think women are simple. the “complexity” is just a facade cos emotions have the apperance of clouding logic. but its MATH. its SIMPLE. all my girlz KNOW when “needs” are being met, when a king holds her queen and a queen holds her king, and when love is patient and kind– aint nothin but bare bones simplicity. i’m testifyin… cos ladies, anything less aint worth it.
thatz my footprint. peace.

Somebody please get Keisha Cole Mama!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 13th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
You owe us 15 more!! I feel cheated and I want my money back…….But why did I imagine you buck naked on a computer chair. I hope it’s not cloth

Avid reader, but never commented. For #16 “Sometimes your friends WILL hurt you. Not necessarily on purpose, it‚Äôs just that no one is perfect. You just have to remember in those times that you made them your friend for a reason.” What if you’ve grown up and realized the reason you made that person your friend wasn’t the best reason…at that point, you learn that your “friend” may have hurt you on purpose and perfection is subjective…as always!
#27… people are simple, both men and women, once you understand their motives. Gotta get to the source!
#35! Being one generation from the projects myself, I see snooty people all the time that STILL carry those project-ish traits and try to act above and beyond! I agree…. please snap out of it! lol….

“We all are dealing with SOMETHING. Some of us‚Ķmore things than others. Try to be compassionate”
Man Teej, being in this field of social work has shown me that time and time again. It has also shown me that I really don’t have sh*t to complain about in the grand scheme of things and that I’m really blessed.
Love ya boo!
