I done lived here for a whole year.

Mon, 21 May 2012 23:03:00 -0400

Yesterday marked the lapsing of one year since my arrival to New Jersey. I’m still experiencing culture shock. Crazy. Okay, now I’m going to list a bunch of observations I’ve made since moving here. While they might not be exclusive to this area, I have learned them as a result of being here, so they will forever be associated in my brain.

I’ll start with how people talk. Besides the obvious one: accents; there are a few interesting vocabs I’ve seen/heard.

“True” is a valid response for ANYTHING. You might be familiar with the usage of “true”to concede a point. But over here, you can say it after everything. Even to end conversations!
Your order is “to stay or to go” instead of “for here or to go”. I’ve heard both though.
“Mad” = “hella” or “wicked”. It is used as a sort of adverby intensifier. It can mean very or a lot. There may be more uses.
A “plain” slice of pizza is a slice of cheese pizza. Yo they sell pizza here by-the-slice!

Alright. Now I see that including all my learnings will make quite a lengthy post. Everybody knows y’alls don’t like to read those, so I’m going to you a favor do, and up them split. Okay that last sentence, nobody talks like that. Not sorry.

briefextracts:

JR:
Some live for today, while others live for tomorrow.
Some live in the past, looking for time to borrow.
If we gave the innocent a voice, I wonder what would they say.
Or would they be tired from screaming please someone hear our cry.
Will someone hear our cry? will someone hear our cry? Will someone hear our cry?

Swoope:
She was only eight when they threw her in the trade.
Abused in her youth, now a slave of this rape.
Uncle prostitutes the niece before she got through puberty.
And it’s hard for her to pray ’cause she’s dropping to her knees for a priest.
Geez, the cross that he wears is the cross that she bears.
Pedophiles is what I’m mad about.

Sho Baraka:
She can scream loud, but they won’t let her out.
They keep milking honey ‘cause she’s a cash cow.
I’m mad. She swings on poles for significance,
talk with her body; that’s the only way we’re listening.
She thirst for water in a current drought.
Get your eyes off her thighs and let her tell you what she’s mad about.

Suzy Rock:
I give em heart in these bars.
but they rather me get him hard,
give em a little Minaj,
sing and summersault for applause in panties and bra,
barter my body for the ladder to climb up the charts.
I guess getting naked is what success is. Mad ‘cause the Truth is the only thing I’m bare in.

JR:
When you hurt I should hurt
and when we smile you should smile
‘cause what’s mine will be yours.

If I am the dreamer, then Thou art the dream.
If I am the pebble, then Thou art the stream.
If I am the sapling, then Thou art the beam.
Thou art the laughter.
Thou art the dream.

It couldn't be more simple.

Today I Learned

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 20:21:35 -0500

If you have enough money, you can legally have your kids kidnapped by two strange men in the middle of the night and escorted to a special boarding school across the State or country where they can be tortured, brainwashed, and scarred for life under the label of “behavior modification” because you are a horrible parent. This exists (and has for many years) in all 50 states and abroad. Please don’t be that guy.

Note that many of the programs that do this claim to be Christian. As a firm believer in Christ, I ask you to please not associate this nonsense with the message of Jesus.
