AYO BABY, YO BABY ,YO...

After a long day of laundry and van service, I have finally found the time to update my blog. *self-applause* In some of my last post I used the word "adjusting" quite frequently, but with a few minor exceptions, I can happily say that I am adjustED at Hampton University, in Two Up, Two down, Songzz, YUUUP!

[Haha. I get carried away sometimes...]

But down here, I've been on my solo dolo. I follow noone, but accompany a few.

All the distrust stories I've heard in the past, are constantly in the back of my mind when I'm meeting people. I try my best not to depend on anyone else, cause the only person I can always depend on is the boul GREENE.

With that being said, y'all know I miss my Philly fam. Whenever I get a chance to check up on my boys, I try to shoot a text or two to their various locations up in the tri-state area. [Haha, it's not the same without y'all my ninjas!] I said it before, and I'll say it again: Hampton would be ten times better if just ONE of my boys were down here. Either way it's all good, I am enjoying myself.

These past couple weeks I was on the road and in ATL for some time. The Men's tennis team participated in the HBCU Invitational hosted by Florida A&M's Tennis teams. I ran into some of my fellow tennis players from Philly, whom both play D1 tennis at different schools [And yes, they're black. WHAT UP JEFF and PAUL]. Our team did not quite show what we're capable of at this tournament, but no worries... We will. However, our Women's tennis team finished in second.

[My favorite position :p (On road trips that is).]



[I finally got my warm up. :)]

FOOD ON THE ROAD







[I've been eating so much since I've been in school. Still can't gain any weight though.]


[My newest tat. Sike naw, this is my brother Hogie's newest tattoo. I'm feeling it.]

NOW YOU KNOW I COULD NOT END THIS POST WITHOUT TALKING ABOUT THE ORCL.

I am proud to say that our website is finally up and running. I am also proud to say that we have been receiving a surplus of supportive comments from everyone. That is LOVE [Yup, like the statue]. We thank you for your support as we're finally about to stand on two feet. This has been a long process, and my man RALPH has been putting great amounts of time and effort into this line. When you have a drive like his, nothing can stand in your way. Keep checking the website. It's only right. [The online store should be up and running next week!!!!]

COLLEGE LIFE. Hamptonian style.

WORD, LIFE.

Since I've been down at Hampton University I've met people from all over the world. I've heard accents from all over the nation, and noticed dialects from hundreds of townships.

One thing I love about traveling, whether it's from tennis, vacation or family visits, is the different way people use slang. Off the top of my head right now, I'm going to try and list some of the many different words people use down here. Whether they're sexual, random, off topic or what have you, I think it's funny how slang differs by region.

The word/ location/ meaning

[The word might be from a different/more than one region, I'm just going by who I heard it from]

Saving/ "D.C chillin', PG chillin', my names..."/ Saving means your "wifed up" aka spending most of your time with one girl. It comes from the real meaning of saving, because your saving up [money] for the girl. I've heard that a lot since I've been down here. Let's see if that changes...
'Bama/ D.C/ A pretty girl who cannot dress. Let's clap for Ed Hardy. Baby phat, stand up.

Lowkey/ Everywhere except Philly (from what it seems)/ On the low. But you use it before the verb or adjective. Like, "We're lowkey ____."
Fakin'/ D.C/ Getting mad. Wanting to fight.

Tight/ NYC/ The act of being mad. I talked about this with Ash... it sounds awkward when someone says a girl is "tight."
Fie (As in fire)/ The dirty dirty./ When something is hot, fun, exciting or what have you, it's fi(re).
Hekka/ Californ-I-A/ Same meaning as "hella." Which is adverb that I'm assuming you heard before.
Becky/ Down south/ Oral sex to the male. I laughed when I heard this. I laughed at the next one too.
Bobby/ Where do you think? ...The same place they say "Becky"/ Oral sex to the female


More will come to me. I'll update this post when they do...


On another note...

Stay prepared. We thank you all for ridin' with us. Your support has been great so far. Everything is falling together finally, and we are excited as hell. The website should be fully completed, very soon. We decided to add a couple more features to the site so we can give everyone the FULL EFFECT of what we are trying to do. Once again thank you for helping us get on our feet a little bit.

STILLADJUSTING.

Down at Hampton I'm still trying to find my place. [G.I.F.I...] Being down here is such a difference from back home. Plus, I know for a fact that if I had just ONE of my boys down here with me, my entire experience so far would be altered dramatically [most likely in a positive way]. I don't really trust anyone yet. That stems from only trusting one group of people for so long. However, that will probably change. Especially because there's one person down here that I want to trust.

Classes start Tuesday, along with official Hampton Pirates tennis practice. Our first big match witll be at the end of this month in Atlanta [*lean... and snap*], at the HBCU Invitational. I've been trying to play as much as possible this week with other freshman. I'm hungry [figuratively and literally... I'm about to hit up the caf], and I have a list of names to prove wrong. I'd post out schedule for the year if I had it in front of me. Regardless, I'll keep you updated.

"Holy Bananas"

I've grown to love the Supra Sky Top after buying a pair last winter. I think it is the most comfortable sneaker that I own. Here is a new Supra Skytop x Karmaloop collabo entitled the "Holy Banana."

I just want to be successful.

Hampton U, WhatUP.

My first day was slow. I got down to Hampton feeling isolated and confused [word to Nick Cannon in drumline, Haha. That movie keeps popping into my head]. I had no idea what to expect. But finally, my social skills kicked in and I began to meet other freshman from all over the country. I feel like I can already see who I'll be hanging with for most of the year at Hampton. I've also discovered that everyone I've met from D.C/Prince George County is mad cool [I think I'll be joining the "go-go" movement sometime soon, lol.]

On another note, there are so many beautiful black girls here. People were not lying about the Hampton's females. The funny thing is that only the freshman class is really here...

But regardless, I'm chillin'.

I'm waiting for classes to start because I don't want to get use to all of this free time. I came down here to GRIND.

I haven't been on my blog mode down here [lately], because I've been more focused on adjustment. However, I've still been taking shots here and there via iPhone [like always]. Here's a little taste of Hampton's freshman orientation. Nothing spectacular but I'm "feelin' it" [like the Jay-Z track.]

To all my close friends, I miss the shit out of y'all. I finally have internet because I just recieved a tethering file for the iPhone [It gives you internet when you plug your iPhone up to your laptop] through one of my new friends down here... No Wi-fi yet, because my computers not registered [Had to delete limewire :( ]

[This was one of the packages I recieved as a welcome gift to my dorm. Lol... that is love. Maybe I'll get my waves back so Steve can stop bussin' on my flat textured scalp. I'm surprised Corey's not on the front of this brush. (I forgot he's only on du-rag packages lol... I'm still bussin'.)]




[How I'm living... My side of the room.]


[My magic trunk.]


[I think I'll be playing a lot of this. It's not my type of tennis, but it's fun.]


[Blue and White game for the freshman.]


[I know they were tired. They were dancing for the most part of the game. I swear they were working harder than some of the football players..]


[Woke up at 4.20 after catching the 'itis after lunch one day. That's my room number. I thought that was weird.]
