I just wanted to take time out and let the world know how proud I am of my little sister. She graduated from Morgan State last weekend, with a degree in Journalism. so to Leigh, I offer my utmost congratulations. It’s enough to make me reminisce…
Remember when we were kids, and you used to tell on me all the time for stuff I did…Then after mom would spank me, I’d beat you up in retaliation and get ANOTHER whipping for hitting you?
For that matter, remember how when I got in trouble, mom would whup me like Koonta KIN-TAY, but when you got in trouble, you’d barely get a slap on the wrist? She won’t openly admit it, but you’re her favorite…LOL.
Remember how I used to practice wrestling moves on you and T? If it weren’t for you two, I would never know how to apply a Figure 4 Leglock…Or know that you can really fuck someone up by giving them a powerbomb.
Remember how we used to try to scratch mom’s old records on that ONE turntable on the old stereo in the den? Then we’d make up wack ass freestyles? LOL
Remember when you cut your bangs off and looked like Sade’s midget twin? Your forehead was shiny as hell back when you were small.
Remember when I tried to cut my own hair and messed it all up? Granddad had to save the day with his clippers and make me look acceptable again. Thanks for not making fun of me too much.
Remember when you beat up Rodney over near the backyard fence? Or for that matter, when you beat up the white boy that bothered you back in middle school? LOL
Remember going to St Louis and drinking wine coolers with Aunt Mary ,Uncle Mose and Andre?
Remember how Angela used to convince you to dance all the time? Have you walking around the house doing the snake and the cabbage patch.
Remember how you used to be scared of every animal alive? I really hope you’ve gotten over that shit by now. I was mad that we never got to keep that hamster since you thought it was going to climb out of the glass tank and kill you…LOL.
Remember how you used to be scared of the Russian dude from “Rocky 4″ and would cry every time I played “Living In America” from the soundtrack around you? LMAO
I remember you used to be scared of this shitty haloween mask I had, too. You really were a little punk back then…LOL.
You embarassed yet?
Heh heh heh :)
Either way, my intention was to show you how far you’ve come since those days. Congratulations, and I really am very proud of you and your recent accomplishments.
Neat site; bookmarked for later reading…
Im seriously about to cry..lol, that was so damn sweet :) I wish your sister the very best, good thing she has a loving brother like you, that has her back (and the sade thing, was halarious..lol, you deserve a smake for that 1)
Congratulations to your sister. Funny post.
“Living In America”
LMAO…I’ll keep you posted
aww that was cute!
awwww. that’s love to go blowing spots like that, LOL. congrats Leigh… i hope you find journalism as fulfilling as i do!
Too funny!!! I hope she forgives you for this post;)
AW! Y’all sound like me, my lil bro, and our cousins! Anywho, congrats to your sister!
Awwww….that was so sweet Leon. Congrats to your lil sis.“Remember how I used to practice wrestling moves on you and T?” lol Being the youngest girl out of 5 brothers, believe me that had been demonstrated on me many times growing up.
If you get a chance tonight, try to come out to Le Tarbouche (AKA Kolumbia). I will send you e-mail for complimentary admission b4 11pm…..I know you’re a cheapo ;)
O, Glad to hear you got your car’s situation straight.
Uh yeah so, does your lil sister read your blog?? Is it just you and her?? If not, do the other kids’ names start with ‘L’? What? I’m an inquiring mind.
Adam’s Morgan??
Dude that shit was funny as ever! LMAO…your sister has got to love it……not Sade’s midget! lol hey I cut my bangs to short too once and I skipped school for a week then my mom “surprised” my ass @ home and beat the shit out of me!
oh and ps…..how come St. Louis is a bad influence on kids?!!!!!!
I went when I was 14 and I had my first 40 and “white boy”, but I didn’t inhale! lol
“St. Louis…its just like compton..”
Funny! I use to get beat for things my little brother would do. He just graduated from NYU last week. I am so proud of him, and like you, a lot of memories came back!
Congrats to your sis!
@ Zehara, I might stop through. Do the Usual Suspectz still promote parties there?
@ Kajuana, yes, my sister reads this, and no, there are no other relatives with names that start with “L” LOL.
Also, I will be there tonight. Looking forward to it.
@ Shiminege, you have that “Just Like Compton” song in my head now…LOL
This was a tad embarassing…but every word was true…especially that “Livin in America” song it still brings back bad memories…lol …thanks to everyone for your wishes.
congrads to your sis! most definitely!
