I love when you call me Big Poppa
For those of you that are living under a rock today is father's day. Much respect to
all the mothers and fathers out there doing what they have to do to give their kids a
better life. Tha King included mothers because a lot of people have mothers ,like mine,who played both parents.
Since the beginning of this month I've been having constant debates about when father’s day actually was. I was sure it was last Sunday, which is rather sad. Everyone knows what day mother’s day is and people go out of their way to show their appreciation for their mom. Father’s day however is just another day in the hood. Although tha King feels like a lot of the unappreciation fathers receive on fathers day and in general is a product of the shitty job they've been doing. Before I continue let tha king make himself 1000% clear; I'm talking about ALL FATHERS, not black fathers, not fathers in the hood, ALL FATHERS. Step your daddy game up fellas. Spend time with your kids, teach em shit,and experience things with them. Being a good dad is in guys.
I'm not gonna keep the blame train going too long, it not all their faults. America
has a an institutionalized bias against fathers. How many dads do you know have full
custody of their kids?......I'll wait. None! That's because the courts hardly ever give the kids to the father, the mother would have to be a crack head Britney Spears chick.Its rather disheartening as a young man to know if anything happens and I'm no longer with the mother of my child that I'm going to lose my kids. Personally I hope they have a diesel court officer cause he's gonna have to drag tha King out of that damn courtroom kicking and screaming. I want my damn kids!! They came from tha King's nuts and I want them back!!
Regardless of all that the bottom line is today is fathers day and too all the pops
out there doing right by their kids tha King respects and appreciates you.
Enjoy your day.
PS: Friday was Juneteenth people!! Google it.

Black Out
Exert from an online conversation Tha King had with a female friend about a week ago. Name has been changed to protect the ignorant...uhhh, I mean innocent. There is a small possibility that the person I am referring to is going to read this. So in case you are reading this......Don't say stupid shit and I won't feel the need to blog about you. Simple as that.
King: Question, What nationality are you?
A: My husband and I are both Haitian (I didn't ask about her husband but OK.)
King: Would you ever have considered marrying an African man?
A. Hell No! No Africans and no Jamaicans.
King: Why?
A: They aren't my type
King: What makes you think all Africans are the same type? That's stereotyping. Your even singling out your fellow West Indians.
A: Oh no! I wouldn't marry a West Indian either, just Haitian.
King: .......
The West Indian part aside, she as just voicing the sentiment of a lot of Black people today. For some reason or another a divide has grown between Africans, African Americans and West Indians. I remember as a child everyone was just BLACK, it didn't matter which continent or Island your grandparents were born. Now everyone is quick to disassociate themselves with the other groups. You said you were black last month, now your Bajan? (For the record I have no problem with people taking in pride in where they come from. My problem is with people who believe that because they are from said place that makes them better than other black people, which couldn't be further from the truth.
Tha King places a large amount of the blame on the media. The stereotypes that the media uses to portray A.A. W.I. and Africans are they same ones that we use to prejudge each other. If you don't interact with different people, all you have is TV as your point of reference and its possible to think that all African Americans are lazy gang bangers and welfare queens or that all Africans live in huts and have goats in their back yards. NOT TRUE. Expose yourself to other cultures people. We're much more alike then we are different. I cold write a book on this topic but I'll wrap it up here. Til next time folks.

Diamonds are forever.
A new post! Its been along time coming. I wrote a couple of posts but at the last second I decided not to put them up for whatever reason. Indecisiveness is one of the few flaws Tha King does possess. As you may or may not know, most of the topics that I write about are inspired more or less by my colorful assortment of friends, family, co-workers and associates. Tha King keeps some very interesting company but I wouldn't trade them for the world, with the exceptions of a few bad apples that I'm secretly plotting to run down with the royal whip.
Today however I'm hear to talk about an issue that has been popping up in Tha King's life the past few years. Tha King at a pretty heated argument last week with one of his closest friends.
Before I continue I must explain to you that his person's stubbornness and arrogance rivals only Tha King's. This person, for the sake of storytelling we shall dub him, Kurt Thomas, has been a friend of tha King since our early teenage years. after high school, Kurt Thomas decided to go away to an out of state college while tha King opted to stay at home for college.(One of the biggest regrets of the King's life, but that's a tale for another day) Fast Forward five years, Kurt Thomas has come home, degree in tow(Tha King is so proud) and ready to pick up life where he left off after high school. There's only one problem, its 5 years later! Tha King, and all of Kurt's other friends and family have gone on with their lives and are not longer available for Kurt Thomas at a moment's notice. Jobs, school, Girlfriends and other responsibilities prevent Tha King from being able to chill with Kurt Thomas the way they did fresh out of high school.
This doesn't sit well with KT and he now feels like Tha King has turned his back on him. Tha King tires to explain that although they might not speak or chill everyday like in the past. The friendship is still just as strong. Friendship isn't affected by time and distance. If two people are true friends then there should be no hard feelings after a period of no contact. Before cell phones and the Internet friends would go for months, sometimes years, with out speaking to each other. Whenever they did get a chance to speak, the friendship would resume as if they had spoken only yesterday, this is the true nature of a friendship. At least it should be.
So I ask you Loyal followers. Is tha King being a bad friend because he has other priorities or is Kurt Thomas overreacting? Do friends need to be in contact frequently in order to remain friends?

Do the diddy bop.
Well kiddies, summer is officially upon us, which means clubbing season is in full swing. Yes, I know what your thinking; "King, people party all year long."- This is true, but tha King no longer parties during the winter. I had a bad experience with a retarded coach check attendant, a club brawl and my 600 dollar North face coat.(Still pissed about that shit.) On a totally random note, I do enjoy the dumb hood rats freezing their asses off at the bus stop or trying to hail a cab because they thought they were so hot that they didn't need a coat in January. Back to the topic at hand.
I was just reading my favorite blog, other than my own, and they posted 13 rules that all club-goers should live by. It was quite amusing and true for the most part and I got me thinking about things that I like/dislike in the club. So without further adeu, I present to you; The 5 type of people I hate in the club.
1.The no-game bouncer: You are a 30 year old, balding, overweight goon who feels up men for a living. What makes you think that any of the females at the club are actually interested in you? The only chicks your going to bag are the ones that made up their mind that they were sleeping with the first person the showed the slightest bit of interest in them. All the other females smiling and batting their lashes at you? Just wanna use you to get into VIP or for a free drink.
2. The homothug bottle popper aka Mr Make it rain: Stop it, your not the life of the party cause you and your boys bought out the bar. Have you noticed that there are no women even paying attention you? Go ahead and keep making it rain, meanwhile the collection agency is putting a freeze on your funds in the bank. Asshole.
3.Mr./Mrs. I'm to fly to dance: let me 1st address the male. You paid anywhere in the range of 20-50 dollars to get in the club and for what? To stand on the wall? you could have did that outside the club for free. As for the female; BITCH YOU AIN'T THAT HOT! The only reason I came up to you is because someone else was dancing with girl I really wanted to dance with.
4. The facebook crew: I know my friend is going to be upset cause she knows I'm talking about her but oh well. Put the goddamn camera down. They only reason you came to the club was to take pictures as proof that you went to the club and put them on [Enter social networking site here]. Yes, that's me dancing next to you. I'm not trying to cop a feel, I'm trying to get close enough to break that damn camera.
5. Drunk chick: You've been drinking since before you got to the club and know your drunk ass can barely stand up straight, at least you were smart enough to bring you boyfriend because if it weren't for him playing watchdog the predators would be descending upon you like a cub that lost its pack. Stop waving that damn empty bottle of Moet and get a hold of yourself. At least you look good. There's nothing worse than a drunk ugly chick.
