Next Day Air

Now I'm not really sure if this classifies as a "gangster ass movie" but this is one of my favorite gangster type scenes from any movie, although the general movie theme is comedyish ill put this up there with that "say hello to my little friend" part in Scarface (that might be a stretch).


The Best Line: "so you thought you was just gonna come up in here and take some shit?"

Classic

Black Women according to Slim Thugga

Here is what rapper Slim Thug had to say about our women...


It’s hard to trust a Black woman [sometimes] because a lot of Black women’s mind frame is that the man gotta do everything for her, he gotta pay for this, he gotta pay for that, and if it ain’t about money then a lot of them ain’t fucking with him. If that’s what you’re here for then I don’t want to be with you. Most single Black women feel like they don’t want to settle for less. Their standards are too high right now. They have to understand that successful Black men are kind of extinct. We’re important. It’s hard to find us so Black women have to bow down and let it be known that they gotta start working hard; they gotta start cooking and being down for they man more. They can’t just be running around with their head up in the air and passing all of us.
My girl is Black and White. I guess the half White in her is where she still cooks and do all the shit that I say, so we make it. She just takes care of me and I like that. She don’t be begging and I don’t gotta buy her all this crazy ass shit. And she’s a smart girl too. She graduated from Columbia [University] and I like that about her so it’s cool. I’ve dated girls that will buy a $3,000 bag and don’t know how to pay it off on their credit cards. They walk around in these Louis Vuittons and red bottoms but they’re riding around in raggedy cars, so it’s just getting your priorities right.

I wholeheartedly AGREE with everything that Slim Thug is saying, so often black men are looked to be the provider (which I plan on being in my family) but women that we might see potential in play us to the left because we either don't make enough (college women should give us a break because EVERYONE is broke in college, and if he isn't it's probably his parents money) or we don't have the "status" that they are looking for. Most girls because they sure aren't women that I run into don't know the first thing about taking care of their man which is an important thing no matter how we define gender roles in today's society. They expect you to be Superman but they aren't even close to being Lois Lane

Let me run down the typical approach and responsibilities in a normal dating scenario as experienced by me:
  1. Notice the girl
  2. Catch the girls attention
  3. Approach
  4. Start the conversation
  5. keep her interested
  6. Ask for her information
  7. Make 1st initial contact
  8. decided when/where/how date will be setup
  9. Provide or figure out transportation to said date
  10. Pay for Date
  11. Hope/Pray she goes on another one with you...
Now where in these steps (not to say there aren't exceptions) does the woman have to really do anything? I personally will not go out with a girl again if she doesn't at least OFFER to pay on the first date, even though as a gentleman I would never let her, but still...

And by no means am I trying to berate, downplay, or subjugate my female counterparts, I love and plan to marry a beautiful black women one day, but my opinions are formulated by my experiences and being someone that attends school in the Atlanta University Center, boy have I seen/experienced a FEW things first hand eye witness...

To those women that demand so much out of us, and expect us to have everything together/laid out in our lives I ask only one question "what do you really bring to the table?"

hopefully the answer isn't just "myself" because quiet frankly when you meet a black man that has his life in order and is doing things, that's not going to be enough

Tie Etiquette

As evidenced this morning by my brothers lack of effort in his selection of clothing, I have come to terms with the fact that some just do not know the rules of how a man should dress and carry themselves.




Here are a few rules on the tie, a nessecity and wardrobe item that any man has wrestled with in the morning (I know I spend waaayyy to much time trying to tie my ties)

Any way here are a few rules that any man should live by...
1. There are really only two knots worth considering: the four-in-hand and half-Windsor; and only the four-in-hand for knit ties. Other knots are novelties.

2. The self-loop at the back of the large blade, sometimes called a “keeper” but often merely the makers label, needn’t actually be used in fact to hold the smaller blade, better not to, for a freer, more stylish note.

3. The blade ends should ideally reach the top of the trouser waistband and should match up in length. Not as easy as it looks to the uninitiated.

4. A small dimple at the base of the knot shows a certain je ne sais quoi of finesse.

5. With tie bars, as with mens’ jewellery generally, anything other than tasteful discretion can be hazardous, and probably should be avoided.

6. A tie should always be untied carefully after wearing. As Miss Adelaide says in Guys and Dolls, “We are civilized people. We do not have to conduct ourselves like a slob.”

7. Fabric ties (silk, wool, cashmere, cotton) should be rolled after wearing and then hung; knit ties should be rolled and never hung.

8. A four-in-hand or half-Windsor knot should just fill the tie space at the collar button and be taut enough to arch out from the collar a bit; the mid-section of the tie should be completely hidden under the collar at the back.

9. Bow ties should never look perfectly tied. Ceaseless practice usually suffices to produce the precise look of subtle imperfection.

10. The proper length for a bow tie is achieved when the ends sit within the edges of the collar. This necessitates buying bow ties with sized graduated bands or with an adjustable slider.



While I have yet to purchase my first 7 fold tie (a tie thats structer is produced from folding not stiching) I will eventually one day
