Why Can't People Just Be...Real

Last week, me and my boy were eating breakfast at Cracker Barrel when he starts trippin that a waitress in another section wasn't noticing him. I thought the whole thing was funny, but he was seriously upset that she wouldn't even look at his shoes if they had been mismatched. I pondered and found some truth to his argument. The waitress may very well have took a quick look, did a quick evaluation and was like, "Naw, I'm good", but so often we encounter situations where people front just to make themselves not look desperate or self-conscious that it is possible that she may have been interested in him, but for some reason tried to ignore him to get his attention and ultimately make him grovel at her feet. What if a man and a woman are both like that? I'd just be two idiots ignoring the hell out of each other. Good job guys. That'll get you far. Dudes are like that too. I really try not to be, personally. I always try to keep it real. If I think a woman is worth the time to chat with, I will. If I have a problem with somebody, I'll put it out there, rather than hesitate, thinking, "If I bring this issue to her, she gone think I'm trippin' off her". I don't understand why we all can't keep it real. All these "Mis-Communications majors" out here no wonder men and women don't understand each other. It's also a reason why it's never safe to assume what someone else is thinking/how someone else thinks of you. Everybody always wants to be the dominant character, too selfish to share the top bunk. Whoever reads this, today wherever you go, keep it real one time. Just once. This can be whether the person is new, old, friend, foe, potential significant other, somebody you find attractive, people at work, etc. When your brain slams on the brakes when you think of who all is watching you, or you are fearing if you will look desperate, or you may just be a punk, keep it real anyway. You just might open doors for yourself, and in turn, begin closing the doors of miscommunication. Okay, enough of that. News update: many people have given me kudos on the first half of the short story I wrote. Gratzi. I took it off of here because I am in the process of writing a book, which will be a collection of short stories. I also got some more studio equipment through my uncle. I'm so ill with the beats and nobody even knows it. Maybe you will one day. I'm just trying to stay busy. Remember the idle mind is the devil's playground.
