About Me

This is what some of my friends have said "about me", I do not confirm nor deny any of the following.
"Serious, even when you're joking. Sarcastic. Thorough. Logical thinker. Driven. Has a low tolerance for b.s."
"Jahi is an intelligent bookworm who is not always big on going out, unless some gathering/event away from home really and truly interests him. His combination Chi-town southern accent is endearing, especially over the phone. He can also be a good listener and quite encouraging when and if the going gets tough for you -- and you share what's on your mind with him. But, I must say, he's very, very stubborn! Sometimes, he'll make you wanna throw up both your hands! He often thinks he's right, even when he's dead wrong."
"my name is jahi. i am in phd school, and i want to teach. i like women, women with muscle tone and i have a cat (i think). i laugh for a long time."
"He prides himself on being able to get under people's skin, he finds the most obscure phrases and repeats them so much that you can't help to participate in his foolishness, he takes astrology way too serious and will literally make you want to choke him sometimes and just when you are lunging for his throat he will tell a joke that'll make you just want to shake your head. However, he is probably one of the most reliable, sweetest (he will deny this), caring, honest, men I know."
"He's a cool ass ***** shit talker 4real and front like he da coldest in everything. Ha ha ha, he try to act cool when he lose at anything but he be mad"
"Jahi is very very smart, he sets high standards for himself and he is bothered by people who disregard those standards. He will literally jump all over you if he feels he has been treated less than how he would treat you. He is very flirtatious and has some twisted logic where he think what he does is not flirting, and he purposely starts arguments for kicks."

Things we need to stop saying

"I could'na been a slave, they woulda had to kill me!" I've heard some of the most cowardice, backbent, stepNfetch negros say this. I'd like to think that in some shining moment of rebellion I would h...

I'm gonna go outside again

I don't think I've been outside in about 15 years. Of course I leave my apartment to go to school, work, the gym, the park, the beach, the store, or whatever other establishments there are to go to, b...

Counter-revolutionary behavior: the fuckery that stunts progress

Chicago-bohoism: more-so a commentary than a critique

Boho = Black Bohemian This blog is about a whole year overdue. A friend seems to think I use the term Boho only in the negative sense. Most of the time it is only used as a descriptive, no different t...

I keep being reminded I am not ready for kids

Don't get me wrong, I feel I am mature enough, I can teach them well, be a friend an authority figure at the same time, and resourceful enough to send them to their mother when they try to touch me wi...

The DaVinci Code: Don't believe the hype

I usually veer away from stuff that is overly hyped because it's rarely worth the hype. It's usually some old idea reinvented and marketed to the unfamiliar to come off as something fresh and mind blo...
