Conversations With Marva: It’s Time for the Questions

  • Mike · 2 years ago
    The 21! We meet again.

    21- No I did not get tested I did not iknow today was Worlds Aids Day, I am slipping I am usually up on this type of stuff.

    20- Really?

    19- Lion's heart and Zulu Heart by Steven Barnes. I am a sucker for sci-fi/fantasy. Glad you mentioned it I need to blog about it.

    18- Harry Potter (yeah I know my man card is in jeopardy).

    17- Anything that does not bore me to death like the job I am at now.

    16- Yeah I'll go to see which one of those old men will have a stroke first.

    15- Yeah I have, but I do not know if it counts, I was 14 and got shipped to military school in a small town called New Bloomfield, PA there was nothing but white girls. When I left that was the end of it. Does that count?

    14- LOL, yeah you got to monitor that stuff there was a big stink on the blogs about that song. But that is the problem with music and rap in general, no one takes the time to listen to what they are saying. Every one gets caught up in the beat. At least you talked to him, that is light years compared to what most parents do.

    13- LOL, Commando all the way, I like to be free! If I could get away with it I would walk down the streets swinging!

    12- Family Feud was the bomb.

    11- Yeah Im going to see it. I will feel guilty seeing American Gangster and not this.

    10- White rice with a black peas and sauce, jerk chicken, and Haitian style fried plantains. (although I would be doing my best to break the hell out of prison!)

    9- Corona as the beer and Barbancourt Rhum straight. (Im actually on those right now)

    8- Side of my neck it seems, thats when the women I have messed with seem to get the most money out of me.

    7- Kanye West-Champion, 50 cents-I get Money, Nina Simone-Sinner Man, Lupe Fiasco-Dumb it Down, and the you tube sensation Tay Zonda chocalate Rain (I can not get that stupid song out of ny head!)

    6- Just one?!?!?! Ok got to pick a good one. Damn it! Serena Williams, that body! I know she is frontin like a nice girl. To be not so nice and just be out right nasty legendary porn star Ebony Ayes. (man that was an unfair question).

    5- I like what I look good in, black clothes, black cars, black women, I just look good in black.

    4- Now you know this is a f-uped world. One stand out young black intelligent woman is not worth the time of day. Take matters into your own hands.

    3- Yeah it is some old BS, but I think the parties inside the house that night were caught. But some one else planned it out.

    2- I do not make promises I have no intention of keeping.

    1- No, I have been trying to get into it on my ESPN blog but have not had the time next year though.

    And with that I am out!

    Mike! I always look forward to your responses on Question Day...

    21 - GET TESTED!

    18 - Harry Potter, huh? Well, I guess...

    14 - I was caught slipping...usually I'm pretty good at keeping track of what my son listens to and what the meaning of this bullshit is...but this one slipped by me...

    13 - ROFLMAO!!! You crazy!

    7 - That Nina Simone joint could cause some serious damage! And that damn Tay! Ooh, I hate that damn Tay!

    Great times! Thanks for your responses, bro!

    I just love really how in this country at least AIDS is almost ignored these days,not the topic of activism it should be. It is amazing how many people think they don't need to be tested. My policy will always be "test before the rest".


    RIP Sean Taylor. I didn't know that.

    So many books I can't really choose but "War and Peace", and "In Cold Blood" are books I have read several times already.

    As for movies from books- books usually win " The Color Purple" would have to be on the top of the list. I catch is every year or so in full.

    Gone With The Wind, a movie most people my age haven't seen, is a good movie but I never read the book.

    "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest" was a pretty good rendition.

    I saw "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" years ago on television though the movie was made way before I was born. I had read the book in middle school I think. That movie was well worth catching in my opinion.

    Secretary of State would be my dream career but then again so would staff horticulturist...

    I'd see Michael Jackson is a second though, I saw the Man in the Mirror grammy performance the other day from back before I was even watching television and that sealed it for me.

    Gin and Tonic - specifically Bombay Sapphire Gin.

    Hey Coop!

    I don't understand...I truly don't understand how AIDS does not get the attention it deserves...shit how any disease that is killing people every day does not get attention! I won't get on my soapbox because I won't get off!

    The Color Purple is my fav...I finally sat and watched Gone With the Wind all the way through last year...it was sprawling and magnificent...and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...Jack at his best I think...

    Now Michael Jackson I would see...the rest of the Jacksons can go sit down...

    Enjoy that Gin and Tonic, girlie!
