how’d is one letter away from howdy like a cowboy hat when theyre worn on top of your head over to the gym to get a good workout side of the office is where people take their breaks in a record book when someone thought that it was guiness record of books shelf is where books are kept when it doesnt matter if you keep them in a good order like in a library store. hey do they ever sell books at a library? or do they only loan them out? its been a while since ive been to a legit city library, not like a school library or anything. i remember i used to go to this place back in detroit called the centennial library, and snap that place was huge! you’ge! it looked pretty dope from the outside and it was pretty hefty inside. i wonder what its like there nowadays. i have this curtain that isnt really a curtain, well i suppose it is, but its one of those things which i would call mostly like a pull down screen, which keeps people on the outside of your window from seeing inside, but the thing is that it doesnt keep vast amounts of light from entering your room. so in the morning i can still see light shining, but not necessarily blazing into my room. well now that i think about it, im kind of next to other buildings so the sun only has a small “window” of opportunity to enter my “window” haha and most of the time i dont think im here to witness it. it certainly doesnt wake me up in the morning, like it used to do when i lived in arcadia. if i left my curtains open, which i always did, the sun would wake me in the face in the morning for realll. good morning texts good morning calls. after a while i suppose the sun was my rooster. every morning without fail, the sun would annoy the heck out of me and wake me up at a good time if i wasnt awake already. but then you know what else is a wake up call that sucksss? a lot of the time i also kept my window open, and the gardeners would always come around all early like at 8 and start doing their thang. no problem with that because that’s their job, but really though, it was pretty annoying. but then again, should we be annoyed at people just doing their job? kinda like the don’t kill the messenger thing. all theyre there to do is give you a message, but unfortunately since they can possibly be the face of bad news, then they may get the grunt/brunt? of whatever your reaction is. i suppose its the same thing with people who are straight blunt? i guess that could be taken either way. theyre just telling you how it is, “keeping it real”. but what if keeping it real goes wrong? just like in chappelle’s show. but what if nothing was sugar coated? what if all my friends “kept it real”? that could either be alright if you “keep it real” in the first place, or have thick skin, or it could be horrible horrible. i guess its a good thing that not everyone is like that, for your own sake. but i think maybe its always a good thing to have people who will tell you how it is, but who care enough about you that they wont tell you in a destructive manner. because there will always be people out there who “keep it real” just for the sake of knowing that when they tell you “how it is”, you will likely feel bad/hurt, and they take pleasure in that. horrible. but your real friends, they should know you well enough that they can break bad news to you in a better way. for example, a physician who has to break the news to a family that someone didnt make it. they can either come out to the waiting room and just be like, “yo, pops didnt make it through. sorry!”. or he/she could be like “we tried our best, but unfortunately your father didnt make it.” bedside manner i suppose. ahh, keeping it real. if im a little inebriated, im more likely to have a conversation with you where i start off by saying “yo, im just gonna keep it real, but like…” and then i will proceed to tell you something that i may have held back. i guess its effectiveness will highly depend on your level of intoxication also. because obviously if you’re sober, everything may be viewed in a completely shine of light. if youre drunk… well maybe you wont even remember. there goes keeping it real! lol
