Patience!!

See? I told you I'm trying for consistency. 2 posts in 2 days, Pat me on the back people. Hard to believe Easter is upon us. Congratulations to all those dedicated people who gave up something for lent. Your 40 days are nearly complete. If you cheated, well your going to hell. I kid I kid.

With the warm weather fast approaching, the hordes of single men are going to be on the prowl once again(those that took the winter off). For those that are lucky enough to meet a nice young lady over the summer, or two or three; that's your prerogative, Tha King would like to school you to a mistake that so many guys make in there attempt to make their way into a women's pants. I can guarantee all of the men reading this have made this fatal mistake at least once. What mistake you ask? Your doing it right now....

Lets say you meet a young lady at the (insert location here). You exchange numbers or twitters or whatever the heck people exchange these days, and you get in a few nice conversations. The young lady agrees to go out on a date with you. So you arrive, on time, dressed good, smelling good. You pick up your lady and off you go. The date is great, you two clicked and you had a blast. You pull up in front of her apt and she invites you upstairs.(Your thinking to yourself, "SCORE!" negative) She offers you a drink and you sit on the couch and talk more. The talking leads to a touch. Which turns to a rub, then a kiss. Next think you know your making out. You reach you had around the small of her back and begin to lift up her top......BAM! You get rejected and get the Mutumbo finger wave to boot. This is going to happen with 70% of women.

Your reaction to this cruel rejection is key if your every actually gonna get any from her. You can't make up an excuse to leave two minutes later, you can't delete her number from you phone. You CAN NOT go into cocky mode and shrug it saying "Fine! I didn't want you anyway." What I'm trying to say is persistence and patience begin with a P, just like Pu$$y. If you act like a dick your definitely not getting any. Stay, talk more. Call her the next day, take her out again the next weekend. If you don't hit it on the 2nd date ITS OK.

As guys we let our arrogance get in the way too often. The first rejection doesn't mean you not getting any. It just means she doesn't want to come off as that chick that gives it up the first night(the exception being that last 30 percent, of which 20 will let you hit that night and the final 10% who will let you hit it in the car on the side of the highway on the way from the restaurant.) If she hasn't given it up by the forth date get the hell out of there.

Exposed

Another long overdue post. I'm finding it hard to devote time to sit down a make a quality post with all the other things I have going on. Hopefully once Tha King get some kind of routine back in his life the post will start coming regularly again. Now down to business.

"They say two wrongs don't make a right." One of the oldest cliques in the book. First of all, who is "They" and who made them so damn knowledgeable about wrong and right? Is there ever a time when a wrong is justified by an even greater wrong? Allow me to tell you the story of my young friend Cuba. Cuba is young college student who up until recently was in a committed relationship. For reasons unknown to Tha King, young Cuba came to the conclusion that she was missing something in her relationship and decided to find that missing something in the bed of another man.

All was well and good until Cuba's boyfriend found out about her unsavory activities. Needless to say he was none to pleased. In fact he felt the need to seek revenge on his scandalous significant other. Over the course of their relationship, Cuba's boyfriend had amassed an impressive collection of pictures and videos of young Cuba in some....compromising positions. Mr Cuba decided these were the perfect means with which to exact his revenge. He made a webpage(I'll try and find the link) with all of Cuba's personally information, the details of her infidelity, and the pictures and videos that until recently were for his eyes only. Needless to say Cuba was completely humiliated as her photos spread thought her entire school and out into cyberspace, forever accessible to the public.

This brings up a rather interesting issue. While the male reaction has been firmly supportive of the actions of Cuba's boyfriend, The opposite sex has cried foul. They say that the punishment was cruel and unusual and that if he felt it necessary to retaliate he could have done so in a less drastic way. Tha King believes this is bullshit. First off, the guilty do not get to negotiate their punishment. Your guilty, you should have considered the repercussions beforehand. In this post Jazmine Sullivan, Lorena Bobbit, bust your windows out world, all's fair in love and war. I believe there's a line in that song that says she had to do something to make him hurt, same applies in this situation. What women fail to realize is that infidelity is just as hurt, if not more, to a man. Its a devastating blow to ones ego. At the time the man in question needed to make Cuba feel the way he did at the time, helpless.

So, did the punishment fit the crime? Guys, would you have done the same? Something different? Nothing at all? Ladies, if you discover your significant other is an infidel what is your method of retaliation if at all?

Too Little To Late; why your wining and dining on valentines day may have been a lost cause.

Another snowy, shitty day in the city. Does anyone else see the irony that Dallas Texas was covered in a foot of snow for all star weekend , meanwhile in Canada at the winter Olympic games there's a shortage of snow. Crazy, but I digress, I'm sure everyone had a nice romantic valentines day with their boo. Flowers, chocolates(which didn't arrive until Tuesday. Fuck you proflowers.com) and love, what better way to show you man/woman you care?

For all you once a year don Juan's that think you can show out once a year on the 14th allow me to bring you back to reality. Women are simple creatures with short memories, your whole elaborate Vday plan well be completely forgotten by March 14th. Women need to be reminded on a daily basis that you love and cherish them, much like you constantly want to be reminded that your putting it down in the bedroom(when according to most chicks, your not.) So to all my fellas out there, the flower store is open year round( If you don't know where the flower store is because you've been buying your V-day gifts on the side of the highway service road from the Indian guy then there's no hope for you.) bring your girl some flowers, take her out to a nice restaurant just because. You make think its corny but there are 4 other dudes on the side willing to do all the corny shit you won't do if it means they can get into your shorty's pants.

This is a two-way street ladies. Get your shit together. That lingerie you break out once a year is not cutting it. There are chicks out here that will dress up every night for the D that you take for granted. Be a freak for your man or lose him to a chick that while be his freak.

Love isn't a once a year thing people. Its 24/7, 365. Act right or you'll be spending next valentines day in your PJ's eating ice cream out the container watching The Notebook. You've been warned. KING OUT.

I Hear The People.....

Allow me to re-introduce myself.....IM THA KING. Its been far to long but I'm back up in this b*^&$. Had to step away for awhile to handle some personal business and do a little soul searching. To my old faithful readers, Tha King apologizes for leaving you out in the cold. Thanks for sticking with me, you won't be disappointed. To my new subjects; welcome, you can check some of the old posts to see what we about over here. You might be offended by some of the ideas expressed on this blog, If you are I'd like to let you know that from the bottom of my heart, I couldn't care less. That being said, lets get this show on the road.......

Damn Homie, In High School You Was The Man Homie, WTF Happen To You?

Tha King hates Tuesdays, always have. Your not halfway through the week but you've already work two days. For the first time I'm not looking forward to Thanksgiving, more specifically the days after thanksgiving. Tha King is not excited about eating some manifestation of turkey for the next four days, Turkey sandwich, Turkey salad, Turkey omelet, turkey soup... Anyways, I figured I would throw in a post today because I'm almost certain that I won't be doing anymore this week. 
 
The oldies station is playing on the radio at work today, every once in a while a song comes on from a artist that makes you go, "Damn, what the f*ck happen to them?" Of course that got Tha King thinking about a bunch of other people that fell of the face of the earth seemingly;
 
 

Ja Rule and Ashanti; Damn homies! Yall were the two hottest artists in music for a while. What happened? Did Ashanti forget how to sing? Could she ever in the first place? Ja Rule takes the double L, not only did you let some dude name Curtis single handedly demolish you career, Irv Gotti got some Ashanti ass and you didn't! Shame on you! Even Nelly hit that. I'm ashamed to say we live in the same borough

Sisqo; Was he gay? He had to be gay, straight dudes don't take pictures like this. For a while people were saying that Dru Hill was the next Boyz II Men, yea, that worked well. He had his 15 mins of fame as a solo artist with the thong song. Now he's just to butt of alot of jokes. You can't tell me this guy isn't gay man. He's got platinum hair! Enter the dragon...I think the Dragon was entering him
 
 
The Rock; IF YA SMELLLLL......No rock, all we smell now is those B-grade disney movies you keep putting out. You said you were leaving wrestling to be a serious actor, Return to witch mountain? That's your idea of serious. Save yourself and get your candy ass back back in the ring. I used to love this guy man, I had the eye brow down and everything. Now look at you, Jabroni
 


Bad Boy Records; 112, Black Rob, Da Band, Loon, G Dep, Carl Thomas, Mario Winans, Shyne, the list goes on forever. Bad Boy artists drop like flies. Only the one know as Diddy knows the whereabouts of these people. Personally the Tha King thinks he had them all killed, take that take that. What about Yung Joc? What happened to him? You've got some explaining to do Mr Combs. Why would anyone want to work for Diddy if you end up missing?
 
I could be here all day listing people. I'll turn it over to you people? Who else has fallen off the map like a shooting star? King Out.

Tommy you ain't got no damn job!! But Tha King will help you get one.....

 
What's shaking everyone? Another monday, hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. The holidays are fast approaching, scratch that, they're here. Tha King knows two things that everyone wishes they had during the holiday are less pounds(unless your one those eat everything and never gain pound type of people, in which case you can go choke on a turkey bone.) and more cash. Tha King cannot help you with the pounds as I need some damn help myself. However I can help you with cash situation. Unfortunately a lot of people are out of a job currently, which means your most likely dreading the holiday season. Tha King can't find you a job but what I can do is make sure your doing all the right things to put yourself in the best position possible. We'll break it up into 2 sections; Pre-Interview and Interview.
 
 
Pre-Interview
 
Apply Everywhere; Yes, everywhere! The most common thing I hear from unemployed people is; "Oh hell no, I'm not working at no fast-food restaurant" -Ummm Excuse me? YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB. Those who know Tha King personally know that he too as echoed this sentiment. That's because I have a job, two at the moment. While a job at Mickey D's may not cover all your bills, its better to get some paid than none. Humble yourself and get your ass to work.
 
Resume: Learn how to a prepare a resume, there is some much information online about how to correctly prepare one. Tha King will admit even I don't know everything. I was just informed recently that there is something called "resume paper," who knew? For those of you that are making one, let me make this  clear; Baby sitting little Trevaughn at night while his mother Peaches strips is not admissible as employment history. If you've never had a job your better off not having a resume than having one that details how you used to do pick ups and drop offs for Marlo Stanfield.
 
The Interview
 
Dress like you want a job: I don't know how many times I've seen people come to job fairs/interviews with jeans and sneakers on. Your not getting a job with sneakers on. It doesn't matter what the job is, dress  business casual at the least. If you don't know what business casual is then visit http://humanresources.about.com/od/workrelationships/a/dress_code.htm. First impressions are everything, and people see you before they hear anything you have to say.
 
Learn to answer the question: At just about every job interview your going to be asked to tell the interview a little bit about yourself. This question can be a tab misleading, they don't want to know that you were the starting point guard on your high school basketball team or the captain of the cheerleading squad. They also don't want to know about your abusive boyfriend or you crack head sister. Keep it short and sweet; I'm Tha King, blogger extraordinaire, I graduated from from Ohio State University, since then I've been working as a male escort.....you get the point
 
Be Confident and ask questions: Walk in there like there is no way in hell they wouldn't hire you. Also, when they ask if you have any questions for them, ASK SOMETHING! It shows you care. I like to go with the opportunity for upward mobility, it shows ambition, and you know everyone loves an ambitious person
 
 
For those of you that are currently unemployed, don't let what they say in the news fool you. There's a job out there for you, you just have to find it. Stay positive and good luck, Tha King will see you at the bank when your depositing that 1st check!

I Got A Big Ego - The Problem with the Answer( and most men that are past their prime)

Happy hump day ladies and gents. Its one week before Thanksgiving, which means the clothes your wearing now probably won't fit by this time next month. Can you believe that Tha King's mama actually started making dishes for turkey day yesterday? That don't make no damn sense. Tha King really needs to get back in the gym.

As I stated before, Tha King tends to shy away from sports related topicsbecause of the largely female following that this blog has(hey ladieeeees). Many of whom don't know the difference between a homerun and a touchdown. However this topic involves someone who, at the high of his career, was a pop culture icon. His current situation is also a microcosm of what all men seem to go through as they get older.

Pictured above is Allen Iverson, if you didn't know that then click the back button on your browser immediately. For the past 10 years Iverson has been one of the most popular athletes in pro sports. He's one of the people that popularized the whole rows and tats(Cornrows and Tattoos for the slang impaired) phenomenon. Iverson made a name for himself by calling his own shots. He played his way, with all his heart, and the people loved him for it.

Sadly no man can escape time, and The Answer has lost a step or two on his trademark quickness over the years. The younger players are proving that basketball is a young mans game. After brief stints on other teams, AI was cut from his latest team yesterday. Not because he's washed up, Iverson is more than capable of being an effective role player on a team, but because he's not willing to come to terms with the fact that his days as a superstar have ended. Instead of being the OG on a team, taking the young guns under his wing and sharing his experience, he wants the young guns to fall back while he does his swan song.

This attitude is not uncommon amongst men as they get older. In business, on the block and on the court or field, older men never want to come to terms with the fact that they've past their prime. Instead of being a mentoring figure to the younger generation, they feel the need to challenge their youthful counterparts. Fear of being replaced and forgotten I suppose. It only makes them seem bitter and as a result when the younger generation does replace them they feel no need to pay homage because they weren't welcomed in the first place. If the OG's were to embrace their position and mentor the young guns they would realize that they would never be forgotten.

Tha King is a fan of AI, he respects him for giving 110% every time he stepped on the court. Iverson hasn't taken a game off since he turned pro, but the 50pts games and the superstar status is over. Now its up to him, and any other man in this situation, to realize that its time to shallow their pride and become a mentor, stars die, teacher and mentors live on the people they've touched. King out.
