Never Thought I'd See You Again! by A. Dacosta Brathway

December 22nd, Monday... Man! It has been soooo long since last posted, I thought I didn't have a blog anymore! What was I thinking? So much has happened. Black men being hunted by the police. RGIII proves me right by not being a "Franchise Quarterback!" The Redskins stink. (So does the Giants and the Jets!) Bill Cosby looks more and more like  pervert as the days go by! "Ratchet TV is gaining momentum. TV producers have found a way to make Black folks look more and more like assholes to white viewers...(...if they watch it instead of the news?) What else?

So what now? I plan to jump back on MT. The new year is coming in and I am refocused. A lot has changed for me. All of my security blankets are gone. I am out here on my own, for real! It's no biggie. I've been a loner all my life. Now I am on the tight rope without a net. Hey, it could be worse... I could (NOT) be on a tight rope at all. In other words, I am back on the blog! (Get it?)

A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

November 13th, Sunday... What's the point of watching 60 Minutes? Don't get me wrong... The 411 is all good. I love watching the "legal" criminals act like they have done nothing wrong (like the Congressmen and women I'm watching right now who trade on stocks based on inside info, that is supposed to be ILLEGAL!!!), get called on it by 60 Minutes reporters, and lie their collective asses off!
What saddens me is that no one black can do this without doing time! I mean, this shit has been going on since "time in memoriam! America was discovered with Indians on the land and a whole reservation (city, town, what???), the discoverers are met at the shore, offered food and shelter and they kill the Indians and steal the land! What the f--k?
Last time I heard, there was a recession going on and all I have seen around where I live is massive construction on roads and housing. Gas prices are through the roof and SUV's are bumping me off the road! Hell, I have (Black) women turning their noses up at me as they pass me in their Mercedes Benz's!
So, I have decided to stop watching 60 Minutes because I am tired of the truth! Keep the lies coming, like the Kardashians!

A Warped POV by A. Dacosta Brathway

March 29th, Tuesday... I'm sitting and working on my journal and I have the TV on. It's the Housewives of Orange County (Yeah, I watch shit like that sometimes!) So I'm listening to a woman explain her life which is no job, controlling husband, nannified kids and she is talking about how she is designing a fashion line! That shit is amazing to me! How does one get on a "make believe" (fake ass) reality show and just get a seamstress and start a fashion line?
I remember when I was in school and the teacher asked us what we wanted to be in life, all I ever heard was policeman, fireman, doctor, lawyer, Indian Chief. As an adult all I hear about is these exotic careers! Out of the box ideas that have made millions for dropouts!
"Venture capitalists" who throw their money into hair brain schemes (Bernie, where are you now?) on the strength of a powerpoint pitch. Where the hell was I when this stuff was going on? I went to college! (Obviously the wrong one!)
I'm even amazed that people can make money doing a blog. (I haven't made a dime off of mine! SHIT!) I was even told that my blog was of the op. ed. variety. What do they know?
In my next life, I want to come back as the star of a reality show called Black Househusband of Bed-Stuy! Wait a minute, on second thought, never mind. I'm not feeling like being the brainless, stupid Brotha!
