…and I’ll tell you why.

Today is the homie Rojo Diablo Jones’s birthday. I know what you are saying to yourself. You are cussing out some unknown black mother for naming her son Rojo Diablo. But no, that’s the homies H and Geoff’s dog’s name. And yes, we know that Rojo Diablo is “backward” in spanish syntax…..okay and….Rojo Diablo sounds better….

Anyway H and Geoff had a birthday party for Rojo.

Yep that’s right, they invited dogs from his doggy class and other dogs and their owners. The dogs played, and by played I mean humped each other and bit each others necks. The humans stood around outside on the tennis court and ate H’s bomb ass food and drank lots of beer and wine.

Little PJ was there, but he spent most of the time up in the air as he was afraid of the dogs, it’s okay little guy I used to be scared too.

H had made some cupcakes so after awhile she pulled one out with a candle on it (a big one) and we sang happy birthday to Rojo. Well actually I barked it (OJ and Resha REALLY got a kick out of that one). Yes it was silly, but I mean that was the mood!

Fuck it, I had fun. There was plenty of beer and lots of shit was talked as usual, you know, we just had the dogs frolicking! No big deal.

It was a bit cold out there….so eventually we moved inside….but yeah I had fun man!!

So to the homie Rojo I wanna say, “Badarooski” and that means “Happy Birthday Homie”…..

OJ and Resha can kiss my ass!!!! With their intoxicated asses!

They are waiting for the next NBA game to come to town!

Man I went to the Miami Heat versus (your own) Atlanta Hawks pre-season game last night and I learned something about Nashville. There are more Black folks than a little bit out here, and they are WILLING TO GO OUT EN MASSE!

I swear last night I saw people I hadn’t seen in YEARS (or at least it seems like it). I saw girls with phat asses, I saw slim girls, I saw black families, I even saw Black celebs like Steve McNair.

The GEC was rocking…..and they even threw out the typical country music fare they play (and Shashone was ON TOP of the music)….it was like being in Atlanta without all of the clever homeless dudes!

Me, Julian, and young Pee Jizzle had a good old time out there last night.

Then I came home and caught a film classic that I needed to see but as of yet hadn’t after the Falcons disposed of the Jets….Psycho. It was very suspenseful….worthy of the praise it’s recieved over the years….

Two days in a row with an entry? What can I say?

It’s virtually impossible to catch ya’ll up on 10 days of going ons so I’m not going to REALLY try. Bits and pieces will be missing, but here is some basic info.

Usually when I go home I have access to at the very least a dial up internet connection. This was NOT the case this time. I had NOTHING. Oh and I was on my best behavior….really….I promise….

When I left you all I was typing from the lodge. Later that day I went to my mother’s house and then went BACK to the lodge for Nile’s birthday dinner and shit afterward.

We went to Ruth’s Chris Steak House. I spent more money than I planned but it was worth it (a recurring theme). The food was great as well as the company, between Nile’s parents and the homie Nicole we had a great time. Then the fellas went to the club (the Leopard Lounge). Admission was free so that was all good, and the drinks were flowing. One of Nile’s boys had some free drink passes so I kept hitting him up. I also ran into the homie Drew there and shot the shit with him. I entertained this young lady whose name I don’t think I ever got clowning various dudes walking by on the outside, including some fool who got arrested for one thing but probably SHOULD have been arrested for his 1977 Jimmy Walker suit. At any rate, fun was had by all.

The next day was the party at the Lodge. The shit was great. No words I say can really sum it up, other than EVERYONE who came had a GREAT time. The whole cast and crew with the Greatest Show/everyone associated with Campfire Ent./Dina and Aneka (hopefully I spelled your names right)/Lisa (even if you aren’t a part of the show any longer I’m still your number 1 fan!)….fuck it….everyone who was there (even Adrianne who tried to play me about forgetting her name even though she forgot mine!)…this is your shout out!

At some point I fell asleep in a drunken haze/rage….when I woke up I was hating on Mike/flirting with Lisa. After this we went to Waffle House, where I’m sure Nile and Mike will never forget Tootie (even if we forget Sonya)….getting drunk and harassing your waitress is ALWAYS great, just make sure you leave a good tip afterward like we did!

The next day I woke up and headed to the Camp Creek Marketplace to grab lunch with the old homies from Westlake, Toni, Maurice, Nile, and John. Balling ass Tiffany met me up there later and I hung out with her for a second. Then I rolled out with Nacosta, Nicole, Nature, Rashard, and Tomeika to see Flightplan. It was actually a decent movie (I’m a movie snob so I thought it was predictable, but it’s worth seeing). I had a nice talk with Nacosta about life and such.

Ummm…nothing much significant happened until Tuesday night when me and Nile rolled out to the afterparty for the homie Cauthen and the Morehouse fashion show. There was a girl with a GREAT skirt and a bunch of dudes who ranged from mildly to flamingly homosexual, but the REAL fun didn’t start until we left.

All I will say is that Nile and I had a mini tour of the city while being stalked by and then clowning on this older, larger white woman who liked Nile just a LITTLE too much. I gave her a piece of my mind, and somehow got hugged instead of slapped….I can’t begin to try to explain ANYTHING that happened because it WON’T make sense….

I think I did something Thursday….maybe I didn’t….oh I know what I did….I waited in lines all night, yet still somehow managed to have fun, with Mike and John….it was one of those nights where you try to go to the spot and get frustrated standing in lines so you go to another spot and experience the same thing….still jokes are told and you run into people so it’s all good….

Friday I had some issues at the house….at that point I moved all of my stuff over to Nile’s house and stayed at the Lodge for the remainder of the trip….

We went to a little hotel mingle shit thing hosted by my boy Eulus’s cousin….I saw a bunch of folks….it was one of those events that lets you know that homecoming has officially “started”….lots of drinking was done….headed to Luxe….more drinking was done….harrassed women…..dapped up long lost homies….fun was had….your typical Friday night homecoming party type shit…..

Saturday was the tailgate….I took tons of pictures that only the homies will see because I’m out of space on the website (and I told some of the subjects I wouldn’t put them on the internet!)…I met some readers of the website, apparently there are more of you than I thought, thanks for reading it, whatever your reasons!

We lost the game….I saw my family….I drank too much….I took lots of pictures…..

All in all it was great….

It was probably my last homecoming (and last ATL visit!) for a long time….

I’m living very spontaneously right about now…..

I woke up this morning prepared to do my usual Wednesday thing…and that is babysit my beloved godson young P.J. (aka Pee Pay) and ummmm that’s about it….so I called his pops and asked him if it was the usual time and such and he was like they didn’t need me tonigh….so I accelerated some plans….

What plans? Well this weekend is the homie Nile’s Birthday Weekend….actually TODAY is the nigga’s birthday…..so anyway I said eff it, I’ll just catch the evening Greyhound to ATL and get it cracking early. It’s really a shame that I know the Greyhound schedule LIKE that, but that’s an entry for another time.

At any rate, I left Nashvegas about 8:30 and got to the ATL about 2 AM and headed straight to the lodge. What is the lodge you ask? It’s the home of the homies Nile, Eric, and Maurice and it’s where it all goes down.

I got here and the homies Mike and John from B-town (Brunswick, GA) were in the house playing some Madden. I thought it was 1998 up in this beesh (shout out to my favorite SLAVE). Mike opened a can of ass whipping on John and since I called next I proceded to introduce him to my Bengals…..who he thoroughly trounced…I need to give up on Madden!

Anyway, after that, I showed them the art of FIFA….I think they were actually impressed. But they had to bounce.

So I was about to call it a night when Nile pops in the post-production, ready for People TV Channel 24, return from hiatus episode of the Greatest Show.

I’ve mentioned the Greatest Show before….but man…this episode here was absolutely great. It will be airing later tonight at 6:30. I want to smuggle the episode out and play it on Nashville’s public access channel….hell they need their own channel!

The episode was filmed at the Westlake homie Nicole’s crib in Riverdale with the other Westlake homie Tiffany (aka T-Dubb), the skits were HEE-LARIOUS!!! I was dying laughing….they did a follow up to the already great Oregon Trail skit, that is destined to be a classic. They also interviewed one of our old classmates, Jahi Kearse, who is a budding superstar….I’m telling you, remember that name….and the belle of the week…..GOOT LAWD….Ginger Cherelle (sp?)….man she was dope….good grief….

I also got a shout out at the end of the show (and thankfully not on the EFF YOU list)….along with theINS.org (ya’ll really need to get on it if you aren’t already!)….

Who knows how long I’ll be in the ATL…..actually I know how long I’ll be in the ATL…..catch me if you can (or if you’re feeling froggy!)

Prodigy from Mobb Deep came out with a solo album in like 2000 or 2001 that is actually pretty decent. It’s better than any Mobb Deep album in my opinion…..at any rate he wrote this song called, “You Can Never Feel My Pain” about dealing with Sickle Cell Anemia and stuff….and while I wouldn’t be so naive as to think that something like the pain of a sports fan compares to that….well that adage still applies as a sports fan….

So I’m going to say this once….and if you can respect where I’m coming from….cool…if you can’t….well refer to my previous entry….I’ll cut you off without problem….

So yeah, Braves fans, true Braves fans are hard to come by. There aren’t too many people who remember the pre-halcyon days of the 1980’s. Back when Earnest P. Worrell was our spokesman! Back when we had mottos like, “One Crazy Summer”, when the biggest question was if Dale Murphy would hit over .250. Back when a post game concert by the Beach Boys was a better draw than the game itself. Back when the Braves lost 106 games a season under the likes of Bobby Wine, Chuck Tanner, and Russ Nixon…names that are long forgotten!

So when the Braves started winning I was in hog heaven. When they didn’t stop winning I loved it even more for awhile. But you know, for people who support OTHER teams, winning apparently isn’t enough, or at least division championship wins. No, these people only appreciate world championships (some of them even consider themselves Braves fans….I don’t).

These people argue about how “disappointing” the Braves are. Disappointing to who? You aren’t a Braves fan so why do you care? Honestly I’m happy with them winning even if they don’t win it all. It doesn’t make days like today hurt any less, when I realize we aren’t going to win it all, but at the same time, I’m glad we continue to win against the odds!

Losing a game after having a 6-1 lead sucks badly. Losing said game in 18 innings after having plenty of chances to win sucks even worse.

I don’t expect anyone to actually understand though. I mean, the Falcons lost a tough one too, but it wasn’t so bad, they came back and made a blowout competitive, even tying the game, but that shit was like an extra dagger honestly.

I think the biggest thing is that most people don’t love unconditionally in ANY aspect of their lives. They don’t know what it’s like to care about something that others look down on. To always be on the defensive.

So yeah, you can never feel the pain I feel right now….don’t try…no I don’t want to talk about it….just give me this time….

…who has something negative to say about the Braves…or who says some shit like, “Rough day for Atlanta sports fans yesterday” or ANYTHING like that is getting cussed the fuck out or worse….I saw it…I watched the Braves game and the Falcons game jackass!! Don’t you think I fucking know it was a bad day?

I’m in mourning for 4 days as a result…

Recall in an entry roughly a week ago, a pissed off Killa Cal posted a conversation wherein a certain Max of Bolivion.com contributed to his demise in a poker tournament. Recall further that on said day one Killa Cal challenged said Max to a heads up match.

Well it took place today, (yes that’s 5 days later than we intended…bite me!). And I must swallow some pride and state that Max systematically dismantled me. I was never ahead by more than a few dollars and only at the very beginning. Bravo Max!

TheKillaCal: cuz he really liked the look
Below7: lmao
TheKillaCal: so he’s at the party
TheKillaCal: and this black table next to him is keeping up noise while the waiter is telling him the choices
TheKillaCal: so he asks them to “keep it down”
TheKillaCal: and well…you can figure what happened

TheKillaCal: so then the black dude he got into it with chimes in, “you know what…don’t worry about it…he’s a racist”
TheKillaCal: “he has a racist dog!”
TheKillaCal: and so Larry is like, “yeah, my dog is a racist, but I’m not….and anyway how did you know”
TheKillaCal: and he was like, “We talk Larry!”
Below7: lmao
Below7: oh God
TheKillaCal: so Larry walks off and goes and talks to Morty
TheKillaCal: and he’s like, “what did you tell Jodi”
TheKillaCal: and he was like, “you were just a little overjoyed she’s dating guys now”
TheKillaCal: and Larry was like that’s messed up cuz the lesbians hate him now
Below7: lol
TheKillaCal: so then he gets introduced to her boyfriend
Below7: this random ass dialogue is nuts
TheKillaCal: and he starts talking to him…and starts talking about how he’d be intimidated coming after some lesbians
