Manhattan Tobe aka Henry McCoy

About Me

I have been many places, but I'm SE grown. Life has been good for a brother. I could give you the whole rags to riches story but I won't for two reasons. First of all, it is played the hell out. Literally, 50% of black children live in poverty. I would clearly not be adding anything to that story. It has been done before; many, many times before. Secondly, I aint rich just yet. Mr. Tobe is a full time student with two jobs mon! Holler at me in another three years. Maybe by then I can say something like, "If money talks, the whole world 'bout to hear me out."
I love my family and I love my friends. I hate corny moments, but they are part of the reason why I have had the amount of success that I have had. Don't get me wrong, a brother is talented. I got skills, but I don't know if I would have the strength to do the things I do without their support. And now back to your regularly scheduled program..."Imma G, Imma G!"
I really enjoy women, sports, and numbers. I would like a woman who knows what the least squared residual is who actually has the maximum squared residual between the front and back of her skirt. If you are an astute booty watcher, and a student of statistics, then you should know what I mean. Sports is something that I have loved since I can remember. What most people don't know about me is that I am a SORE loser. I don't show it in the traditional sense, but I definitely have all of the symptoms. There is no quicker way to spoil my day than to lose in anything. I am talking about bowling, spades, cow tipping, you name it. And math has always been my thing. Geometry is the lick. In my classroom, I always make it my business to tell my students how much of a geek I am. It helps to explain why I am so excited when I am in front of a dry erase board.
I live by several creeds. It has been extended this year with the addition of Man Law. Speaking of Man Law, I must admit that I lied. There is something that can piss me off more than losing and that is poor public bathroom etiquette. The worse time to talk to me is when I am at the urinal. I don't wanna hear nothing 'bout nobody; not the weather, the last crazy thing that Bobby and Whitney did, or even how piss poor (no pun intended) the service is at Two Urban Licks. Not too many things are so pressing that it requires me to converse before I put my meat back in my pants. Stuff just aint that serious.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I would love to chew the fat with: Benjamin E. Mays, Mary McLeod Bethune, Nikki Giovanni, Thoth, Malcolm X, Booker T. Washington, Condoleezza Rice, C'babi Bayoc, Ronald Fisher, Hatshepsut, W.E.B. Dubois, Vincent Lombardi, Sade, Jackie Robinson, Harriet Tubman, KRS-One, my maternal grandmother, Jason Voorhees, Yoda, Mike Tyson, Redman, Pootie Tang, and Charlie Brown.

I feel like this is yet another grand opportunity to defend myself. I know somebody just read the list of people and turned their nose up at Condy. Name a more powerful Black Woman and we can talk. She gets more hate mail than Beyonce. And thats more than a lil bit. What yall need to do is get closer to her and try to get some of that pimpin that she spittin. "That s**t rhymes."

My Blog

A minute to digress

I thought about taking the last blog down for a few reasons. One of them is that I hate for the world to know that I am feeling bad. But I am into being more honest, so it has to...

To hope or not to hope, that is the question.

"I'm sending out an SOS."

Before I begin, let me say that the alias of "Ox," will not be removed until finals are over. A brother is working just that hard or at least pretending. And pretending to work hard is a lot more work...

Is this an extension of the Metrosexual movement?

So within one week I heard the mention of this rediculous phenomena two times and I just can't believe that it even has enough life to reach my desk more than once. "Me being, the man that I am....
