Ebony and Ivory Live Together in Perfect Harmony

As I sit next to the pseudo-Judo Law, we come on to the age-old question of "what's with these skets?!" Not my words - It was Long-Johns, but we shall cover this crucial question in a later blog, if I remember. So, as the conversation progressed, we went on to another brother's (what he would call) predicament, which was "why do all black women love me?" A deep discussion ensues...

Starting with the latter question, we decided to go through all the possible "desirable characteristics, virtues and charms...and qualities, and attributes, and not forgetting skills," of his being that makes my humble house mate so "irresistible" attractive to the ebony:
  • His love of cheese. In fact some may call him a connoisseur.
  • Speaks in received pronunciation.
  • When making a racist remark, he would then follow up with the words "But my best friend is [insert ethnicity]!" (Okay, I made that one up)
  • Originates from Cambridge
  • His innocence (apparently)
  • The use of the term "Post-coitus discussion"
  • His favourite Tupac song is 'Changes' or 'Ghetto Gospel' (he can't decide between the two)
  • Owns a hip-flask
  • He keeps calm
  • He carries on
The list goes on, however it is too long for me to bother to think of anymore stereotypically British traits.

Anyway, the lads and I agreed to the fact that Sir Blue Esq. shouldn't look at his situation as an oppourtunity to boost his ego, instead we all signed upon the doctrine that "with great power, comes great responsibility." And with that, our advice to Sir Blue Esq. was for him to find a lady and settle down! Damn.

Peace world. What's the word for the day?

Its 3am and I am just starting finishing my 4000 word essay, but as my friend (more on him in later blogs, I'm sure) would say: "Alas!" I am blogging my first blog entry - Dope.

So, 3am huh? Well, I thought this was a good time as any to begin my trip into the nether-regions of the internet (Facebook isn't as interesting when people are asleep). As we go on this journey of enlightenment, I will be dribbling random thoughts and giving the low-down on various issues, with the tools of overused poetic devices and/or puns, accompanied with bountiful amounts of spelling and grammatical errors - Good luck if you bother to read this.

Also, I should warn you, (by 'you', I mean myself, for when I go back to look at this, as I'm sure I'll be my biggest fan), I often go from using what I liked to call 'broken English', to more, let's say 'street' talk, as (apparently) I find it difficult to express myself through the art of conversation and written language - You get me?

In this blog, I will also use nicknames or code names to protect identities of people that I may mention in later blogs. I'll try to keep them consistent, but a heads up might be given if I decided to switch things up. One other thing (DISCLAIMER) is that, none of what I write in this post should be taken seriously in anyway, shape or form - If you find a sentence, word or ethos in anyway offensive, just repeat this phrase to yourself: "I'm just messing with you!" A message from me to you.

Anyway, this blog will have some structure to it (I hope) as I will probably end up talking about music and psychology, just because its all I know; seeing as I have an affinity with Hip-Hop and I am also a first year Psychology student studying at Goldsmiths University of London (although, my essay would say otherwise). Furthermore, I suppose I should also talk about other random things, such as "why do we like women with German accents?" or... Well, thats all I can think at the moment,  but we shall see how things go.

And I'm gone! Like the innocence of Skepta's fan-base (google his latest video - You wont find it on Youtube...)
