Filed Under: Yes, Yes Y’all
Yes, it’s true. Two years ago I would have NEVER told y’all this but that was when I was busy trying to be like everybody else. I HAD to make it to an appointment the other day and you know how this industry economy is, I’m not trying to spend all my money on cabs and shit trying to act like it’s the music industry circa 1999 and I’m still makin, $20,000 plus a month. Gas it high, food has gone up and it’s a LOT and I mean a LOT of black industry folks out of work y’all.
The other day, I rode the train and yes, I have to admit, LAWD…. I had to get on the BUS… Oh the SHAME!!! Who Knew? Can you imagine, an industry vet with my credentials, getting on the got damn BUS? There must be a support group for people like me… If you know me, I don’t mind trying new shit. I was actually amazed at how much of life you miss by having a car. My car is headed to the shop to replace the transmission AGAIN…YIKES: Savings Account Money SPENT… All my entrepreneurs in the house say Ho, Oh… say ho ho…
Anyway, I just had it replaced a year and a half ago and it’s 5 mos out of warranty. I went to the old white dude that fixed it the first time thinking he might give me a break and he told he would do it again for the same price. I told him to suck my… for free
Riding the bus made me see a lot of things that surprised me. First, and this is not funny, a sister got on the train with two kids and she plopped her little boy, maybe 2 next to me. The little boy was filthy, dirty clothes and he smelled like he dumped on himself. I could only think about all the black mothers out there who are single and do the best that they can with little or no money and the screwed up black men who screw without condoms or concern for the baby that might be born out of it, but how much does it take to wash the child’s clothes with a bar of soap in the sink if you have to? That shit is abuse…Let me get off of that..
Another thing that surprised me was all the white people, I mean SUBURBAN white people, REPUBLICAN types ON THE TRAIN and the BUS. Riding to the airport with their luggage and shit. I guess they’re thinking… “You stupid niccas can ride around in your gas guzzlin’cars and SUVs if you want to, but I’m saving my shit for a rainy day. Dayum coons!”
Then this drunk man got on the bus and he was talking the whole time. He was actually funny. He looked at this OUTRAGEOUSLY obese sister (maybe 500 pounds) who was eating a bag of cheeto’s very delicately (help me). She had one ass cheek in each seat and he said “You sho got some great big tities” The WHOLE bus HOLLERED. She was embarrassed but that shit was funny.
