Slight Departure

One of my faithful readers, The Truth, decided to "tag" me at his blog The Enclave. From what I've gathered, this is kind of like a chain letter for blogs. Despite the fact that I vehemently oppose chain letters and never pass them along, I'm going to respond this one time because I liked the premise. However, this is the last time. And the picture above is part of the chain letter.

I'm supposed to reveal seven facts about myself, so here we go.

1. I hate social networking sites. Seriously, I think Myspace, Facebook and all their bastard children are the devil's spawn. People voluntarily post embarrassing pictures of themselves and then invite strangers to come talk to them about those pictures. They also refuse to speak in anything but the Internet Language. I really hate the Internet Language. Then, people you don't even like come by and comment on your page just so you will return the favor and make them feel popular. I have never had a Myspace or Facebook page and as long as my brain is working correctly, I never will.

2. Before I met my wife I was a virgin. Yep, I was the one attractive cat in America to manage to maintain my virginity throughout high school and college. And it wasn't because I was on some religious kick. Nope, I was actively out there trying to get some loving, but still failing. Part of it was that I had a penchant for telling girls the truth about everything. When you're trying to close the deal you should not tell girls the truth. I'm not saying you should lie, but you should avoid forcing them to confront unpleasant truths about themselves and about their past sexual history. I've picked that up along the way.

3. I haven't had a white friend since I was like six. I know that's not surprising to most of y'all given the tone of this blog, but it is an unusual fact. I've attended white schools at times and worked with white people my whole life, but I haven't had a white friend since elementary school. His name was Chip and he lived down the street from me. My brother and I constantly rang his doorbell so he would come outside and play. We used to tease him after he learned how to ride his bike because he had to make really wide turns or he would fall. Our friendship was ended by white flight.

4. I used to have a fetish for Asian chicks. I know that's horrible and I'm still ashamed about it. But, after ingesting American propaganda about Asian women, I strongly felt that being with one was an experience I wanted to have. Obviously, that didn't happen, but it was on my mind. However, I have never really felt comfortable dating outside of my race and have never approached a woman who wasn't black.

5. I can be quite a dick. Seriously, I can be sarcastic, mean and cruel. I have a tendency to use the silent treatment or really cutting remarks to express my anger. I also emotionally divest myself from women without letting them know what's going on. I'm working on these things because they are not conducive to having a long-lasting marriage. Trust me.

6. I used to eat boogers. Nothing else to say about that.

7. I'm really enjoying this blogging thing, but I wonder if the whole exercise is just for self-gratification. Kind of like a verbal form of internet masturbation. I've decided to put some of my high-minded ideas into action, mostly by confronting folks more frequently when they cross racial boundaries. I also want to be like WNG and make the world better place. Unfortunately, I'm lazy and I have a wife, a son and another baby on the way. So, it's really easy for me to find excuses why I can't get up and do good. I'm working on it though, and I'll let y'all know how things go.

I know I'm supposed to do seven folks, but I just told y'all I was lazy.
