... the other Black experience
= I don't think it's gonna work in the long run. We know each other better than anyone else in the world and & because of that, those plans we discussed probably won't work. I'm too much of a eccentric recluse when it comes to my home space and I know I'll just trip out like last time and you'll be salty like last time too. Yeah you want a sanctuary from that person but you may have to get your own.
Sharing space right now ain't the best situation even though I'm dealing with it. You like to dominate the pc & cook food and not do the dishes, naw ain't gonna work. I'm broke and a long ways from getting my own spot but I still can see having you or anyone as a roommate won't work. I'll put it out here for me but we're going to have to discuss it: I have to live alone. Let's save ourselves the argument and just not do it.
= This is getting really frustrating. This needs to change with the quickness.
Hunting for a gig. Tired of this and can't stand filling out apps.
Basic shit, I'll get through it but I don't enjoy this process.

Those social media pics are pretty telling. Y'all hang out there, you carved your name in the picnic table out front, and you are proud of that? Looks pretty low level.
= Damn cuz, 0 - 5? As much as I love as I got for Brazil, I wanted Cameroon to win this first round in the women's soccer (futbol) Olympic trials. Just like some years back when a bunch of the African men's teams were representing and scaring all the usual suspects (Europe). But they did their thing and Cameroon couldn't hold them as hard as they played. At least it wasn't the UK or Italy. See how the rest goes.

Did you watch the whole match or are you just expressing national preference? Do you get amped?
Football fever has still not struck me after numerous contacts. When I see the Chivas and CA regalia at the swap meet, I want to dig it, but I can't watch 2 minutes of a televised game. Maybe there's something I'm missing.
^^ I only watched some of the last half by chance. I only wanted Cameroon to win so their could be more Black African countries presented on the global stage. With respect to Egypt, Algeria, Morocco, etc. there are obvious shades of bias when it comes international sports exposure and soccer/futbol ain't immune, nahimean?
Its a big deal when a country like Ghana, Nigeria, Sengal, etc. gets far into world champoinship competitions and it's massive for African folks worldwide. When they got deep into the Olympics and more importantly, the World Cup, it literally shook the earth. Like "uh-oh, we don't mind them being good in basketball in the US but please don't let them be good at the world's most popular & lucrative sport". What if the world had to show African football serious respect? And put a non-white on the FIFA global council? And stop tormenting the Black players at games? And share profits? Hell naw...
Politics aside, I'm a very casual, you could say 'fair weather' fan. My theme (in everything) is Black folks winning and that gets me amped. Seeing Jamaica, Brasil and even the French team with many Black players on the field is dope for me. Yeah the actual games run mad long with little scoring but the gear is mad fly. I own a Brasil jersey (yeah typical) and I got a Guyana one where my family is from, north of Brasil though I don't know if Guyana has a national team. But the Senegal & Cameroon jerseys are funky fresh.

Real Conversation from today, putting a central american football fiend to the test...
"I got you a Chivas comforter at the swap meet. Are you coming by our office this week? I can leave it here for you."
"Chivas?!?! I will take it to the Salvation Army."
COMEDY. This is the same guy that told us not even Salma Hayek could tear him away from selected world cup matches. I love that passion, but doubt I will ever really feel it.
^^^ I'm actually going to put that into action, thanks.
= A brother can't get no love? Funny, that's near rhetorical, bros never get love. You were smiling and practically licking the arse of those (probably) Pakistani people you helped 'cause they mentioned they were from Kenya like I assume you're from. Held the rest of us no-count yankees in line. But after they left you treated the older white woman next in line and me like we had cooties. I even tried to smile and greet you but all I got was an indifferent stare and asking to see my card.
Kiss my US-born Black ass; I get tired Black foreigners (Caribbean/African) disrespecting Black US citizens and and US citizens disrespecting foreigners. Folks need to treat each other with mutual politeness but I guess that's too much to ask. Try not to strain your lips kissing all that backside, chumpette.
