So It’s Chivalry Again…

Good morning my good people. I hope everyone is enjoying this great summer weather or cooling off because it has been hotter than funion breath so far in some places. But that just allows for the creative juices of us gentleman to marinate when taking our queens out  for a summer evening. Yep, summer time is not a break from men being gentlemen. Chivalry isn’t dead, it’s just on life support right now because both genders are a little unclear on the subject.

Now brethren, we have got to do better in the department of treating our women how they deserve to be cared after. Men the rules of being a man is plain and simple. 1 be accountable and 2 be a provider. I don’t think you can truly be a man if you’re not these two things. And if you claim to be a man but you’re not chivalrous somewhere in between  adolescence and manhood you became lost. If that’s the case you need to start over from scratch.

The term chivalry encompasses so much, but it goes unnoticed to the naked eye. Let’s think about it for a second. When a gentleman approaches a lady he does so in a respectful manner. He does not grab, touch, hoot or holler. He asks a lady out and pays the tab. He compliments her beauty and her being. When going out he opens doors and is a protective figure. The fact of the matter is a gentleman always makes sure that a woman is taken care of from all angles

If you feel as a man that every time you take a woman on a date you have to ask her how much her entree’ cost you need not to go on dates. I am just being honest. Guys just because you pay for a lady’s dinner doesn’t mean that you’re tricking off, if you date with a purpose you wouldn’t feel that way. And gentleman never feel like they’re owed anything because they paid for a measly meal.

Woman chivalry is a concept that is truly a lifestyle in which one is raised. Don’t think for one second that you’re going to be treated nicely by all guys, that’s just not going to happen. Don’t expect a man to pay for everything just because he’s a man. A man is not an automatic teller machine. If you don’t see anything in him don’t keep milking him because he’s a gentleman and always pays. You’re only making more guys feel as though being a gentleman is for suckas and being chivalrous only leads to women getting free meals and dates out the deal. Know that you deserve the best treatment, but also know that its not a free buffet just because you’re a woman.

To Text or To Call? That is the Question

What’s the good word my people? I hope the day is moving swiftly for those stuck at the office, and gracefully smooth for those on vacation. You know everyday someone asks how are things going? and usually my response is I can’t complain. I mean for the most part I can’t, but there are things that people do consistently that force me to complain every time they commit these acts. Usually acts of ignorance, or some sort of WTH? action that just makes me lose my sanity for all of 15 seconds.

Today that 15 second blunder is the improper use of  the cell phone. Have you guys ever noticed that people text when they should call and call when they should most definitely text. Really just think about how many times the people who possess your number use up your text messages when they clearly should be using up your quality minutes to at least tell you quote on quote emergency information.

You know randomly family  or  friends will text me stuff  like “did you see that move Kobe just made”. That’s the perfect text, however, when cousin RayRay gets hit by a car and is rushed to the emergency room I want a phone call, don’t text me that information 2 days later. It seems like the wires of when to text or call have really gotten crossed in some form or fashion.

Usually when people call you there’s a reason to their calling, a focal point to be made. Now it seems like the phone call has no point but to tell me a random thought that could’ve been text and the text message has vital information that should be transmitted from vocal chords to an ear drum. I am just being honest. Don’t waste my unlimited minutes telling me something that I could read in 5 seconds and that’s all you had to tell me. But don’t burn up my unlimited text telling me stuff that definitely warrant a precise phone call. The next thing you know future employees will send you out a text saying “hey Bill you got the job” or a future institution of higher learning will send you an admittance letter  (or Denial letter, y’all know everyone can’t get in) via text.

It should get to a point where people should know when and where to send a text or place a phone call. It just says a lot to me when a person sends me a text saying happy birthday. Umm yeah if you have enough time to type Happy Birthday  you can mustard up just enough strength to dial my number to say the same thing. And if you don’t agree you’re probably one of those individuals who don’t know exactly when to text or call. So everyone let’s take a deep breath and think before we place that text or call.

The Summer P.Y.T’S

What’s the business my people? I sure hope the summer is treating you all well thus far. If you have any sense you would be out and about enjoying the good weather. That means ladies- sorry to come off as sexist but hey its the summer- put on your mini skirts, halter and tube tops, and tight jeans. The summer would only be right if the temperature is perfect and the women are gorgeous. The icing on the cake for the summer is definitely the P.Y.T’s, yeah you know Pretty Young Toes.

The summer months is the prime season for the showing of the feet for women. I don’t have a foot fetish, but a woman truly must have good looking feet. Especially when the sandals are put on and the summer attire is in full swing.  A woman with hideous feet can truly bring her overall look down. I am serious all jokes aside ladies preserving the sexy includes caring for the feet. With this being said let me bring up a few rules of feet showing etiquette if I may. let’s start with the main component, which is care of the feet.

Ladies before you begin letting the P.Y.T’s out for display make sure the care is done with precision. At no point in time and I am adamant with this NO POINT IN TIME, will you be allowed to literally half step with your feet game. First and foremost make sure the foot is fully lubricated, ashyness is definitely not classiness.  Your feet definitely  should not look like you been kicking flower all day, it’s just not a good look. So make sure you get the Jergens or Cocoa Butter out and make sure them toes are looking full of life, not gray, dry, and close to death.

Smoothness is definitely  key in making sure the toes are ready for there close up. I mean come on ladies its prime time the feet can really make or break your look I am just looking out you feel me. Now ladies it matters not the age the toes  and feet must be smooth. I know you’re wondering …what you should do if your feet look rough like Sealy’s from “The Color Purple”?, You  guessed it, start over from scratch, and not literally your feet has enough chalkiness to them. I am going to need you to go back into the bathroom soak and lotion up the feet. Keep it smooth.

Presentation is always key when stepping out for the summer months. When getting your summer sandal game up ladies make sure the shoe is the right fit. I am tired of seeing the too big look and ya “dogs” are looking like “puppies” in those too big chancletas. Also, small is never good when it comes to the sandals ladies. It makes your feet look like it’s trying to hold on to the edge of the sandal for dear life. Another look that doesn’t quite present the P.Y.T’s in such a good way.

So ladies the summer is coming into full effect. Please be cautious  of how your feet look when displaying them on the grand stage we all know as summer. Just please make sure that the toes are in tip top  shape before you let them out. And the last tip before I let you go and set the P.Y.T’s free, don’t forget about the heel of the foot when stepping out, we wouldn’t want you or anyone else using it to strike matches. Y’all be good take care of the feet, and enjoy what the summer brings.
