CLXI (161) Represent!

Can a brother get some representation?

Or must I build it myself, and trust that they will come?

If I knew then what I know now…

But I did know.

I just took this path because I was curious as to where it would go.

Surprise!

I didn’t see this part coming.

“It’s a hair raising event.”

I remember Kid saying that in an episode of the Kid & Play cartoon…

I forgot there was a Kid & Play cartoon until a few seconds ago.

I don’t think it was a “House Party” cartoon,

I think it was a Kid & Play cartoon. For the kids.

And the wannabe players.

I played the field at one time.

Heartbreak re-adjusted my vision for what I truly valued.

I played the “player” for a little while longer,

But it got played out.

I found myself being drawn to the family life.

Oh I bucked against it a few times,

Talked a lot of shit,

But here we are.

Building a family,

And we’re about to have a Kid of our own.

And we’ll play.

And represent what we believe in.

No more hiding.

Time to come out from the shadows.

Represent.
