New beginnings.

I've been blogging for a while, like 10 months, on another site. But I noticed recently that most of the blogs on that site were about bullshit and that all the deep brothas had blogs on Blogger, so I figured I should get with the program.

Some say I'm a difficult brotha to understand, because I have been taught from so many different schools of thought. I was born and raised in a predominantly Black inner city environment. The city smells of poverty, desperation, and death. There's even a dark cloud over the city (literally, because there is so much pollution). But, with all that said, I was also able to get out and study at an Ivy League university. I sat in the Ivory Tower for four years surrounded a wide array of people who spanned many races and ethnicities as well as economic backgrounds.

In another interesting dyad of ideologies, I was raised in the Church of God in Christ and therefore indoctrinated with many ideals of conservativism, spiritual elitism, and religious fundamentalism. Yet, on the other hand, I'm also a well-adjusted and happpy bisexual man, something the COGIC would argue cannot even exist.

A number of other seeming conflicts exist, but I guess you'll get to see those as you get to know me better. But, for now, I need to conk out, cuz I have work in a few hours.

BOOOOO 9-5 jobs. I need a fucking Ph.D.
