Depending on someone. I’m usually reserved when it comes to asking others for help. I don’t know why … the subject is probably the discussion for another post, so when I do ask it’s usually because I really need it. The problem for me looking for someone to “carry” me is that I always get dropped.
I like the fact that I have only a few that I can depend on, I dislike the fact that it’s only a few.
Talking to someone. Here comes the introvert again. I really am energized by spending time with Mr.TramueL but there are times when I need /want conversation, no thank you to the celebrity gossip and no I don’t want Einstein’s theory of relativity. I appreciate a happy median. I know it’s time for me to find an outlet when my mama tells me after 15 minutes that she really has to go. I’m the DJ, they’re the rappers, they do all of the talking while I listen and produce the track. Always the DJ never the rapper.
I like that I have friends that can hold a conversation, I dislike that I have friends that can hold a conversation.
Listening to someone. I don’t know what it is about me that make folk wanna open up and tell me all of their private times & the whole nine. In line at the grocery store, at the gas station, walking up the street … I am a magnet. Muted but direct, give up conversation but don’t say nothing.
I like the fact that I’m able to impart my impractical wisdumb, I dislike the fact that it’s with total strangers.
Watching Good Times. My schedule allows me to watch a little television in the mornings, rather than start the day with the news (depressing) or sports I choose to watch sitcoms or a network series. Good Times were anything but. 1ne episode in general has JJ looking to “wife” a teenage girl that was totally PG, not in a movie but like Mary was with Jesus. I would have like them to talk about protected sex and choices (adoption) rather than abortion right off the bat. There were a few other random TramueLism’s that I observed, but that’s all that I will write. The end.
I like the messages that the writers execute on the show, I dislike the messages that the writers execute on the show.
Working for someone. I’m happy to be (RE)gainfully employed however there are far better ways to make a living than indentured servitude.
I like the fact that I am able to exist. I dislike the fact that I am only able to exist.
Mr. “ Amicability and Animosity” TramueL
Good Times: How about the episode where they put together a talent show to raise money for Wanda’s rent but it seems, never thought to do that for themselves. Not even when they were trying to figure out how to pay 6 bills with 5 dollars.

I appreciate you!
I remember that episode. I may have to buy the box set … and you are absolutely right, why did they never through a party for themselves?
I wonder what music you would play.
What happened to the previous comments?
Dear Ms. Nikks, Roschelle & MizRepresent,
I apologize for the recent deletion of your comments from this post. It was in fact my silliness that destroyed your comments. Mr.TramueL is supersmart and was trying to respond to your comments using his Blackberry but I would not load properly and ended up destroying the post. Mr.TramueL being the supersmart guy that he is did have it saved on his machine at home & was able to reload the post minus your comments.

Lmao, I forgive you.
You complete me.
This was a good post. I am also one that don’t like asking for help and I only have a few I trust enough to ask. Which is not good. I am a Great Listener but not so much a talker. I can listen to others problems but never say much on my own. SMH Once again you got me thinking about a few things!!
“I am a Great Listener but not so much a talker.”
Ummm Je’ I’ve seen / listened to your v-logs and read your post on Twitter, are you sure you don’t like to talk?
I’m with you on listening to others problems, and I usually keep my problems to myself too.
Thanks Je’ !
I can so relate and have similar sentiments, especially to the first three. Sometimes gifts are a burden yet they can make life quite interesting and rewarding. To have others who complement you is def an asset and being able to lend an ear or time, etc. plants good seeds. Hope this makes sense,.I’m soooo sleepy…lol
