What's up sneeches? It is I N0days0ff. If you stay broke as my lil mama keeps me you know this is the time of year you start saving for christmas presents. This year there's only 1 thing that I really want, a 160 gig ipod.
I can't even imagine having every song in the world available at the tip of my fingers.one second I'll be listening to The Jets "crush on you" then Domino "ghetto jam". I can't even think about it now....it's just a lot to take in.
Anyway I figured I would kick off the season with a christmas edition of What you know about that? It's basically a list of christmas memories and traditions. There's so much I'll probably have to do 2 or 3 posts.Feel free to add on some of your christmas traditions and anecdotes. Feliz Navidad and stuff.
WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT?
Egg Nog?
GOOD LAWD!!! my step father used to be gone off that egg nog mixed with his special juice he kept in a little flask in his boot. I can't even get started on that now, thats a whole other post
Nintendo?
after years and years of keith sweat-like begging ma dukes and her cheap ass finally got me a nintendo.Even though everyone had moved on to super nintendo and the like by then, I was still happy.Funny story is she was bringing it back from a plane trip she took. They ran the box through the x ray and saw the gun and damn near arrested my mama.She had to unpack the box and show them the gun was just a toy.Even then it still had to sit up there with the pilot until the plane landed.
Funny story 2.After all that begging, no one would let me plug the nintendo up to their tv so basically it was useless.There was like an urban legend going around that nintendos messed up tv's so my mama didn't wanna mess up our tv and the nintendo stayed in a box until I had my own tv....which by then I didnt want a wack ass nintendo no more
Mistletoe
I've never ever ever kissed anyone under a mistletoe so I don't know nothing about that. One time though we were having a christmas party at our house and this dude kept trying to catch my sister under the mistletoe,I cock blocked my ass off that night. Ain't no slobbin going on tonight my friend
Christmas albums
I love alll the christmas albums that come out.chestnuts roasting on an open fire and all that shit. A few favorites of mine include
*Christmas don't be late - Alvin the Chipmunks
me I want a huuuuuuuuullllllaaa hooooooppp. Lol gets me every time
*Santa baby - Eartha kitt
Santa cutie I need a duplex and checks....I love how she sounded ready to screw santa for some extra gifts under the tree. Nothing says I love baby jesus like that.
*The first noel- All 4 One
that last lick they hit always puts tears in my eyes.....or maybe its the egg nog,who knows?
Christmas Story
what would christmas be without watching Ralphie beg for that BB gun every year? YOU"LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT!!! FRA-GEE-LEE
The Christmas tree
Can I be real for a second? I almost got kinda misty eyed when I saw this pic. I just realized how hard it must have been for my mom to pay all the bills and still scrape up enough money to buy us a christmas tree and decorate it for us. When you a kid you just think about what you don't have and never grateful for what you DO have.I don't ever pretend she was an angel or nothing like that but Dukes had a hell of a job on her hands raising 4 kids. We always ate, not brand name good stuff but we ate. Never had the lights cut off,never no eviction notice on the door, none of that.She never made much money and now that I'm older I realize how crazy it is to bust your ass all the time just to make sure your kids ate. She never had no furs or nice jewelry or none of that. All she did was go to work everyday and bring us some food home.
I remember one time in high school Ma Dukes tried to walk me to school and I kept trying to get rid of her to the point she got mad and turned around and went home. I feel so bad about that sometimes. We were both wrong, her for not doing stuff like that when I was young enough to welcome it, and me for not being happy that I had a damn mama who cared. All I could think about was how no girls would talk to me if they saw my mommy walking me to school.All I cared about was being mr cool and I ended up hurting her feelings. I'm a piece of shit for that.She got out of her bed and got dressed so she could spend a little extra time with me and my stupid ass couldn't even appreciate that.Now Dukes is in a better place.....she lives in Connecticut.
