Can We Be Friends ?????
Slishy sometimes when two people are in a relationship. They can be unevenly yoked, but this doesn't mean they can't make it work. In order for it to be long lasting both parties have to meet somewhere in the middle. It takes time. Problem is your generation lacks patience. Direct quote from my pops Slish Sr.
I thought about what my father had said on my way home from work last night. Is it possible for two people to have nothing in common but still find common ground and build a life together. Then my mind flashes across Barneys. I haven't spoken to her since we broke up 2 months ago. Slish wanted to call but the Slasher kept saying " I'm having too much fun right now. I have too many things set up for you to go and f@ck it up by calling her" Slish " I miss her man " Slasher " SO!!! has she called YOU!!! Slish " No" Slasher " Has she sent you an email " Slish " No" Slasher " Then nigga WHY DO YOU WANT TO CALL HER!!!! Slish " I miss her. Just want to make sure things are okay. Its not like we had a bad break up " Slasher " Your an ass. When are you going to learn how to let things go " Slish " I'll do that as soon as you learn how to be more patient and understanding " Slasher " F@ck you !!!! Slish " Whatever i'm calling "
Barneys " Hiiiiiiii what a surprise. To what do I owe this pleasure " I respond" I just wanted to call and see how you're doing." Barneys " I'm doing fiiiiine i've been doing some freelance work with my company, I started reading my poetry again and you? Whats going on with you" I respond " Nothing really. Smacked my car up " Barneys says " I knooooow" HOLD UP!!!! she knows??? Oh SHIT!!! she's been reading the blog ! " I had a dream about you a few weeks ago and decided to take a look at your blog and see whats going on " I respond " Oh really. What else have you read " Barneys giggles " Oh just about everything " HELLL!!!!!!
Figured she would have stopped reading my blog since we're not together anymore. I respond " Everything ? Even the stuff about Shawnla? Barneys " Oh yeah how is that going " I respond " Well if you've been reading you should know how thats going. Listen. I called to say the reason why I have not called you since we broke up is because I needed time to process why things didn't work between us. I was very hurt and didn't want to say something to you I didn't mean" Barneys in this sweet understanding voice " Its okay " Thats when I broke down and said " Baby i've missed you. Despite what you may have read . I think about you daily. I'm out here doing all kinds of crazy shit trying to forget about what we had. Barneys " Slish its ooookay " I respond " Its not okay. I could have reached out to you sooner. Now can I can ask you a question? Barneys says " Yes " I ask " Why haven't you called me? " Barneys " I did call you" I'm puzzled cause not once did she call after the night we broke up. I say " When ? " Barneys " The night we broke up I called you to talk some more and you just dismissed me " Bloggers she did call me. I was so upset I rushed her off the phone. Barneys continues " Slish usually when a couple breaks up. The other party doesn't call them the same night. " She got a point. I respond " So your saying we could have worked this out? Barneys " Who knows, but if you had been more receptive maybe we wouldn't have broken up on Valentines Day " Whoa!!!!!
My stomach is in knots. I didn't expect to hear this. Figured I would call, say a few words , hang up and continue to let the Slasher ruin my love life, but For the next hour Barneys and I continued to have the conversation we should have had the night she called. I say " Barneys can I come and see you tonight? So we can talk " Barneys still in her sweet voice " No Slish" I deepen my voice just a little and say " C mon. I miss you I want to see you" Barneys giggles " No Slish and don't use that voice. I laugh and say " Okay we should at least have dinner" Barneys " Hmmmmm Okay I don't see why two friends can't have dinner" I say " Then its a date. So Barneys after hearing all of this i'm a bit confused and curious , but where do we go from here? Barneys responds " Only God knows that answer Slish "

too bad slish is trying to take himself of the market...man was I curious....
what was it that YOU said on friday.....
when your tired and your cold...you just want to get home...any taxi will do...as long as you get to where you want to go...whether clean or dirty!
african you better pick up that phone when I call 'cause believe this...I'MMA CALL!!!!!!!
@ Robert Mack Thats just it. I need to know if Barneys was just a passing fancy or the key to my future...
@ anonymous Make thyself known cause i'm not off the market yet.
@ agent 99 Do not use my words of wisdom AGAINST ME!!!!! Hater!!!!
Slish, I got one word for you today... LOSERRRRRR.....
What the fuck are you doing MANN & WHY??? Cuz'n, we don't rebound, we reload when it comes to shorty's. But don't listen to me, I got my own issues when it comes to break ups and make ups. Here's some free advice: "Follow your heart dog".. See what its hit'n 4.. Hopefully Barney is the one to get your raggedy ass out the game.. You need to retire anyway cause I'm tired of seeing you on the fuck'n bench you scrub... Just like little league... 1
Mr. Slish *clap clap* love, love, love the fact that you called her. Can't wait to hear how the date goes! I'm on the edge of my freakin' seat and you was fitna get a cussing out cuz you hadn't written anything all week..keep playin...dis here is serious! Das my word son LOL!!!
1
LOVE that you called her...don't love that she reads the blog. Hope it doesn't make you hold back on details...but oddly enough you seem fairly respectful, and she deserves that. Dammit I want smut! lol
You did the right thing dog...You know you love that chick! I never woulda done it but I guess you already know that since you're best buddies now with "you know who".
@ Philly I don't know if Barneys is the one, but I damn sure need to get out this game..
@ DurtyMo whispering " Please don't hurt me...lol
@ So wise Barneys has been reading my blog since we started dating. Tell you the truth I liked the fact that she read it it kept me honest.
@ Big Trev I am in awe of your powers of deduction( and i'm not being sarcastic either) Figured this day would come sooner or later..lol As for me being in Love with Barneys. Who knows maybe if I had a little more patience I would be.

I am so glad you called her! See! Closure is a wonderful thing! We all need it.
I'm with DurtyMo, if you don't keep us udpated, me and her are gonna jump you. Sleep with one eye opened!
Before I give my advice (LOL), which I know you didn't ask for, but that never stops me anyway (just thought you should know), I'm going to wait until I hear about the dinner.
In the meantime, stay away from the Slasher...and anonymous! You don't need any distractions.
What the HELL! Man you are getting soft. Don't you know the rules - never go backwards (that's the nigerettte in me talking). Nah but for real that's cool if want to talk to her you should have called a long time ago. Why did you wait so long? I can't even picture you in love LOL. but good luck.
interesting. where's the update?
You shouldnt go backwards. An ex is an ex for a reason, and usually only good for a booty call during a drought...but you and Slasher never have droughts...so, no. Move on, she's only going to hurt you...again.No need to suffer unnecessary pain. Good luck with what ever you decide.
I leave for a minute and come back to this *shaking my head* I am confused cause you said early in the blog that you didn't hae much in common with her...if that is the case then what the hell is the point. Don't we need commonalities to help us connect. I don't know about this one...seems to me that your desire to be out the game is what is driing you back to people that you knew weren't meant for you in the first place.
I agree with you Pops...have a little patience and that chick will step up onto the scene. Don't force it...good things happen to those who wait REMEMBER!!
Oh and is it me or are cats using this blog shyt to really hook up?? Ya'll killin me tryna holla at Slish...Seriously!!! LOL!!
Come here Slish and sit down. Let me tell you something. Regardless to what some people are saying, I think that was a very mature thing you did by calling her. The Slasher must have been asleep when you did LOL. You know that I have been there several times and one never knows what stands, or lies behind a door, even if that door is temporarily closed. We as men must understand that it is OK to express yourself in a way that may make us look a little vulnerable. We are human, just like our female counterparts. So don't listen to all the "reloading" comments or the "don't go backwards" nonsense that people may try and tell you. You need to make sure that this woman is not your soul mate. The key to a successful union is the ability to learn and adapt from previous mistakes, having the COURAGE to admit our own faults, as well as the knowledge and understanding of others shortcomings. I'm not an expert on Love, far from it, but I have however had my share of serious, and not so serious relationships to have learned a thing or two....You know first hand some of the drama I've had...
Anyway, Slish, do yourself a favor, when you do meet with her, put it out there, don't hold back on expressing your TRUE feelings, and most importantly, give the Slasher a damn sleeping pill. The only time his ass should be awake is when you're tearing it down!! You know what I mean dog!!
And check out my damn music page before I whip yo ass!!
Peace, Blessings, & GrantLove
Aw hell, he hasn't posted since his date. Somebody better call him to see if he's ok...lol
