Pimps Up… Blogs Down

You can’t see what I can see…you blind baby, you blind to the facts G. You ever have one of favorite lyrics turn around and smack in you in the face when you least expect it? Or I guess in this case should I say poke you in the eye.

Last week I was playing basketball in one of the roughest areas in LA. Not Compton, South Central or East LA, worse…Hollywood. Yeah laugh if you want too but you try playing basketball with actors, directors, musicians or anyone else who don’t quite have the athletic skills needed to play a sport without hurting themselves or those around them. Its like dancing with a girl with no rhythm, you are likely to catch a heel to your big toe. I guess I should have thought about that before last week when I went up for a block and just before I could do my patent Mutombo finger wave, I received a finger to my eye. After landing on my side I responded to my worried teammates, “I’m alright.”…ALRIGHT I’m lying. I said, “I CAN’T SEE, I CAN’T SEE! I got a woman, way over town that’s good to me.”

Now my philosophy when it comes to inquires has always been the same as Danity Kane’s, “Sleep on it, Sleep on it.” After waking and realizing I CAN’T SEE, I CAN’T SEE AGAIN! I took my butt to the eye doctor to find out that I have a scratch to my cornea. I must say, a scratch cornea has to be the worse pain I have ever felt in my life.

A lot of my friends found out through the vine and most of their responses were a long the line of, “Dang you must have had a horrible weekend.” It’s funny actually other then the pain that was in that was the last thing on my mind. All I could think about was how lucky I am. I was thankful to have two eyes, two legs, two arms and two front teeth. Think about all the things we worry about on a given day and all the things we take for granted. You upset about how long it takes you to get work because you got to take the bus. Think about how long it would take you to get to work with one leg. You mad because your game ain’t tight enough to get the flyest girl. Think about how tight your game would have to be with no teeth. You know how tight your game has to be with NO TEETH. I mean any woman will tell you she hates nothing more than a broke man, with no job and no ambitious but I guarantee you will shoot to the top of that list if the rest of the men have NO TEETH.

You know I always have jokes but I write this to say just cherish everything you have no matter how much or little it seems to be because it could always be worse.
