I have noticed something recently. I worked at an Adidas store in Las Vegas on the strip up until February of this year when I resigned. Most people who worked there besides management were between the ages of 16 to 22. I watch my children who are 5 and almost 4 go hard on each other at times over the smallest things, then cry when someone does something to them. I saw a kid coming from school run over another kid on his bike and laugh, until the kid got up and flipped him off. The kid on the bike started crying an ocean. The music of even five years ago has turned into nothing but happy club time in my opinion. Lady GaGa is the biggest artist out right now (whom I still think used to be a man, sorry). Dance music has always been around but I notice that its the ONLY thing they play on the radio (I wish I had a penny for every complaint someone gives me). Homosexuals are running rampant and even comparing their sexual rights to civil rights?! Come on now, seriously. The way you look and what you do in the bedroom are worlds apart. I'm strictly-clitly but I have no problems with what people do with themselves. I'm more of a live and let die type person. So what the FUCK is going on? Why is it that people have become so over sensitive when it comes to themselves, and equally insensitive towards others?
During my time at my former workplace there were many things that irked me so bad that I was ready to deal out ass-whoopins to just about every employee. There were some real cool cats, even in management. One of my managers was playing for the same team, but he was still cool and respectful. There was an ex-athlete (Majors) and a man with an obsessive passion for the Pittsburg Steelers. The rest of store management, however, can kiss my natural black ass- especially the only other male manager who acted more feminine than the women and the gay man combined! To this day I'm ready to beat his ass if I see him on the street. But I'm getting off subject. I always felt out casted for being an over-performer. I pretty much was the top salesman there the month following my injury. Yet I was constantly overlooked for promotions, new positions, and even had my credit given to other employees at times to upper management. Favortism-that's why I quit. But I was there putting up with their bullshit for about nine months before that. I have thick skin, something most 80's babies have. That and the fact that I am originally from the south side of Chicago-not Las Vegas where I live now.
90's babies-what happened? Why are you so aggressive until someone checks you, then you want to cry? Everyone at work was a fucking comedian until-What! The black guy makes a joke. Then things get extra serious and suddenly I have committed some sort of heinous crime. Really? Note that I already had this perception about the younger crowd, however; at my place of employment I witnessed it 1st hand and confirmed my new beliefs. People got upset with my brand of comedy, yet no one had any problems pointing out when I did something wrong and trying to have laughs at my expense. WTF!
When I was in my teens it seemed I would get into it with someone every other day out here. Everyone was a tough guy. To this day I constantly walk around with a mean mug ready to fight. Its hard to get out of that. But I notice now that even when I walk through the supposed "hoods" (I Chuckle) of Las Vegas, people tend to step the fuck out the way. I'm confused. At first I thought it was because, in high school I was about 5"4. I didn't grow until I was almost 19 years old. (I'm almost 6 foot now, short by half an inch or so) but its not. Its because people have gotten scary. Its not about being hard anymore. Its about-for lack of a better term- being gay. Better yet not gay-feminine. Dudes are acting like straight bitches and its really hard for me to comprehend. People like to put me in the Gangster-rapper box because some of my music is violent in nature. I just like to make music about real life-my life. And there are still some people who live and have lived and will live like that. Anyone else who used to be like that and is now more in touch with their feminine side, must have been acting all along. So now what?
This is what. I still believe that women want a man. A real man. Not a she-man or half man or yes man or excuse man or mommas boy man. A masculine man. One who is faithful, somewhat honest, does man shit but still takes care of his house, kids, and woman. And what the fucks wrong with that? Nothing. I am a man- and there are still some out there. I think only a man would be able to deal with these over sensitive women and feminine males and still maintain the definition in this crazy world.
So what happened? Is it something in the food? Is it the way they are being brought up. Do they just need a belt across the ass to remind them of who they are supposed to be? I don't know. All I know is, I don't have to walk around ready to fight like I used to, but I'll still do it just in case there are any normal people out there left in the world. Peace.
