I’m not really in the car and its not really afternoon. That’s the best “thinking” picture I could find of myself. It’s Thursday night and its a slow night so I figured I’d share some thoughts.
1. Why do we add friends on social networking sites (myspace, facebook etc) and never interact with them?
Maybe you think they look good but don’t wanna risk going in so you add them hoping they hit you up? Maybe it’s someone you know and you just wanna keep tabs on their life? Maybe you just want more friends than everyone else? Talk to me people. For me I rarely add people but when I do it’s because I intend on establishing some sort of relationship with them…..yes Sarah from Idaho, that’s why I added you.
2. Is it just me or did the Barack Obama hype die down dramatically?
I know no one is voting right now and there haven’t been any debates recently but it still feels funny. I guess the Yes We Can high we were on cooled off a bit, but I’m about ready to spark up again…who’s with me?
3. Am I the only one that can text/chat/email someone for hours on end but only sustain a phone convo with them for 1 minute?
That’s not the way it should be, I’m almost certain, but like the 2 Pac song says-”thats just the way it is, things will never be the same”. I think its because on the phone you’re forced to keep the convo going in order to avoid akward silence. Text/chat/email you can get your madden on in between messages, go to the gym, get some food and the convo will still be there waiting for you because they’re probably doing the same things.
It’s gotten to the point where people think they’ve “found the one” when they can maintain a conversation with someone of the opposite sex for longer than 5 mins. I’m like thats not “the one”, that’s just what used to happen prior to 2002 or whenever the internet got fast.
4. Do friends still exist? Or do we just have people who share common goals and feel they stand a better chance of acheiving them with you than without you?
This one bothers me. I feel like I haven’t had a true friend since I was like 8 or 9.People are rough these days man. Especially in the “industry”. It’s hard to tell who is who and what’s what.
5. If you met her at the club, can she still be considered wifey material?
I have to LOL at this one because it’s been the cause of many debates. Girls usually say “of course she’s wifey material, aint nothing wrong with clubbing, what yo mama aint never club before?”…..fellas usually say “hell nah she aint wifey material, that broad was shaking her thing all over the floor and got the nerve to want me to wife her, man I swear these scandalous broads”. I won’t even give my take on this but I’ll just say the answer lies somewhere in the middle.
6. I’m a quote addict, junkie, fiend.
Please send any good ones you have to phella@thefamousfirm.com or post here for the world to see. It can be from a book (2 points) , a movie (1 point) , a song (1 point) , or one that you made up (5 points).
7. Orientation to Graduation
For those that don’t know, I’m a proud college dropout (shoutout to George Mason University). I’ve learned so much from the time I went to college orientation (June 2005) to the time I wouldve been graduating (May 2009). That’s four whole years of knowledge and experience. I think even if you never walk across a stage and move your tassle to the left or right or whatever it is, you can still use those first 4 post high school years to shape who you’ll be for the rest of your life.
8. Music Music Music
Despite the fact that I’m a rapper I rarely listen to rap music. Anita Baker, Prince, T-Pain, and Lauryn Hill have dominated my playlist recently. There’s a certain authenticity that RnB has that lacks in most rap music with the exception of the T.I’s, Jay-Z’s, Kanye’s and Lupe’s. A few others too. Soulja Boy is dope too, his music is him and I can appreciate that.
I’m gone for now unless I think of more stuff. Stay tuned for more of Phellito’s Way. I think that sounded wack but whatever, I’m tired.
