WhatitDO, family?
"MyMyMyyyyy My-My My My" as Johnny Gill once crooned. Some unbelievable events have occurred since the last time we chopped it up. Speaking of chopping it up, gimme 6ft, before I Hassan Chop yo' ass, home skillet! It's a surreal turn of events these days, as we're living in a world that's closely resembling a Summertime blockbuster movie! Speaking of which, we can't even go to the movies anymore! Wanna go to CrappleBee's, and sit at your favorite table? Nope. Can't do that. Sporting events? Nope. It's a different day, y'all. Our "normal" way of life is changed. Possibly forever. It is, what it is. Whatever the case may be, we have to look out for one another, and CONSIDER one another. These events are revealing a lot about whom we share this planet with. I've seen amazing acts of kindness, charity and understanding that have warmed my heart, and moistened my eyes. People making masks, and donating them, people working in soup kitchens, feeding not only the homeless, but folks who lost their jobs when the restaurants they owned, or worked in, had to shutter their doors. There are plenty of awesome acts of kindness. Then, there are just as many acts of unconscionable selfishness, that burn my ass to the tailbone. I saw this dummkopf buy out a dollar store's entire stock of toilet tissue! Not just what was on display, but whatever was in the stockroom! She filled an entire flatbed, AND it's cab, as well as a mini-SUV, and then had the balls to shout at the lady videoing this act of selfishness, "Go, Trump!". I also saw a video of these 3 heifers straight-up WWE-brawling in a store over, guess what? TOILET TISSUE! In the PRODUCE SECTION!!! So you mean to tell me that, in a state of emergency, natural disaster-type shit, the provisions you run for and stock up on, the shit that'll sustain you, is TOILET-HOTDAMNED-TISSUE??? Let's say that, Yah forbid, things DO get worse. I mean "Book Of Eli"-type worse. Martial Law is implemented and you can't even leave the house to rip off a Clydesdale fart. Your child comes to you crying. That Shawty is hungrier than a married man chasing an engaged woman. Whaddya gonna do? I know! Why not spark up the good Ol' George Foreman and grill that little bugger a Charmin with cheese? Eh? Does that work for him? Does that keep his little navel from touching his spine? Nah, B...that little fella is gonna gnaw on your leg, like a termite to a baseball bat. B'lee dat!
All kidding aside, family, these are tough, trying times, and I know that after the allure of being housebound wears off, reality is gonna set in, and based on the propaganda that's being fed to us on an hourly basis, there may be cause for despair, doubt, and fear. Don't give in to it. Stay focused on Yah, or whomever you choose to worship. People have forgotten about God, and it's starting to show. We are a resilient species, and despite what's happening, if we remember God, and believe in one another, we can make it through this. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and again, despite the way things are appearing, justice WILL be served. Take this time out to check on your elders, comfort your children, your spouses, read some books, formulate a plan to start a business, because TRUST ME, when the dust settles and the smoke clears, your services,skills and talents WILL be needed. Give some thanks to those essential workers who are risking their own lives to serve. They don't know what's waiting for them, hour-to-hour, day-to-day. And by all means, family... don't forget to love, and that we are ALL in this TOGETHER.
I love you ALL...to LIFE!
