I REFUSE to be a Slave Anymore!

Just because I’m hosting #GHOE’s Greek Step Show, that has nothing to do with why I’m feeling myself right now. Maybe I’m more excited that I have the power of saying, “Oh… And I’m bringing my own dj!” Yall know it’s DJ T. Mobile! #tooeasy. AND… You guessed it. That has NOTHING to do with my blog. But *shrug*, here it goes:

I know yall are thinking, “Dukes, be real. You not old enough to be a slave. You probably don’t know any former slaves either. You are soooo dramatic!” You right, I never picked cotton. But I used to get beat like a slave. NO LIE! Because I was bad. I was the get a referral everyday type kid. So bad that I would walk in class and the teacher would show me a referral with my name and that day's date on it. Then she would say, “Now… I’m just waiting on you to do something. Try me!” And with a referral everyday, like clock work, a beating would follow when I got home. Ma Dukes’ most common beating speech wasn’t “Did…n’t… I… tell… you…” Nope! Not at all. I grew up in a different household. Ma Dukes’ speech was, “The reason I’m beating you now, so you know how it feel. Bad kids, turn into bad adults. You definitely gonna know how it feel so that you won’t go out here and do something STUPID enough for a cop to have to beat you!” Obviously, it changed my life because I still remember it.

But, there are still slaves walking around everyday. And a lot of people enslave themselves. I definitely would have been a run-a-way! Think about how many people you know put themselves through the same Hell on a day-to-day basis hoping that “Oooo… One day it’s going to get better.” or Ladies, “I know he loves me, he just needs time to sort some stuff out. We on a… break.” Pause: (laughs hysterically) Break is short for what? Break UP! Smack yourself. And a break is the perfect opportunity to do some grimy ish that I didn’t have the liberty to do before because… we’re on a BREAK! So Ladies, if you make yourself vulnerable enough to wait in the same spot until he returns, then you basically gave that man a Hall Pass. Does a Hall Pass sound stupid? Yes! Just as stupid as you sound for agreeing to take a break! Play:

Also, people enslave themselves by negative thinking. Is the glass half empty or half full? I have no clue how to answer that question. I just know I’m thirsty and give me some more… PLEASE! Lol. My lil’ lady says that I’m the most optimistic person she knows. And I credit Ma Dukes for that because we were brainwashed. I have watched every dvd on “Renewing Your Mind” from Joyce Myers to Creflo Dollar to T.D. Jakes. I promise you. But… it helps to go through some stuff too! I know I’m not where I want to be, but I’m grateful that I’m not where I was. At the end of EVERY blog I tag it “Jay Dukes qka Mr. Million Dollars”. And do I have a Million Dollars? HELLLLLL NO! Not yet! But death and life is in the power of the tongue. I will keep saying it until my bank account says it. Then I will change the tag to “Jay Dukes qka Mr. TWO Million Dollars.” But I say that to say, it feels much better to have a couple hundred in my bank account after all bills instead of Zero or a negative balance.

And maybe yall don’t feel me. If you haven’t been broke before then this is not for you. And when I mean broke, I mean REALLY broke. Broke like invested your savings of $600 in a party and only made $50 back because you got screwed on the deal. Broke like getting your water cut OFF! You run outside and say, “Excuse me Mr. my mommy gets off at three.” “Sorry lil’ man, I’m just doing my job.” Broke like putting TWO dollars on your bank card to intentionally overdraft to have gas to get to get to work for the rest of the week. To make it so bad, just LAST year, after I hosted USC, Clemson AND Coastal, I had to break up with my ex because she couldn’t count. I told her, “Babe, I only have $40 to spend on dinner.” So, instead of water, how in the F*&^ do you think it’s ok to buy some liquor which brings your total up to $26.50. What the F&^% am I supposed to eat B*&^%?! I left her ass at Applebee’s! Check: You don’t have to feel me right now, but somebody know what I’m talking about! *shrug*

You have to count your blessings. I am so blessed that I am not locked in to doing what I don’t want to do. I’m not there yet, at all. I have made SOME mistakes! But I occasionally pat myself on the back because I’m significantly younger than my competition. You WILL make mistakes. It’s called life. But if you don’t LEARN from those mistakes, you might as well pick cotton! People tell me all the time, “You’re doing GREAT! Keep at it and it’s gonna come.” So, in Faith, I’m holding on to that. But trust, I’m not waiting, I’m WORKING! And I heard you only get ONE shot! But just like at Carowinds… I’m pretty sure I can buy another ball!

Summary:
1.) Don’t fall for that Break ish.
2.) No, I’m not rich. YET!
3.) But I’m not broke either!
4.) Work smarter, not harder!

What's Valuable to YOU?!

The easiest thing for a female to give is sex. I’m sorry, I said it. I PROMISE you that it is easier to f*&^ a female with less than four partners than a female with more than ten. Because the whore, sorry I call it how I see it, the whore sees value in her vagina. That’s what she’s known for. A whore will f*&^ wit a dude just because she wants a nut, understanding that that’s all he wanted too. She’s happy, he’s happy… Get the HELL ON! But have you ever noticed that whores try to change with YOU?! Even though as a dude, I know plenty of dudes who have drilled. BUT… you are an angel now?! Whoa ma’am! A whore that sees potential in you will hold out FOREVER with giving YOU the goods, even though she‘s f*&^%n‘ somebody else. Why? Because over the years that has became her prized possession. “Happy Birthday… Vagina!” “Merry Christmas… Vagina!” “Happy New Year‘s!!!! Guess what I got for you… VAGINA!” And why does the whore see potential in YOU because they have ALREADY lowered their way of thinking.” The following is the whore thinking, “I hope he knows he doesn’t have to take me out… if he just wants to F*&^! I hope he knows he doesn’t have to open doors for me… if he just wants to F&^%! I hope he knows that he doesn’t have to text me ’Good Morning’ or ’Good Night’ if he… say it with me people… JUST WANTS TO F*&^! But since he is, I guess I got a good one!” It’s a dumb way of thinking, but it happens. So, if she wants this to work, her mentality is “hold out girl, HOLD out!” because honestly, after she gives you the goods… “What else does she have to give you?!”

The female with three and a half partners will, more than likely, give it up if the timing and feeling is right. But with this female you are not putting in work for sex! You are actually putting in work for her heart. It may be hard to believe and a little backwards, but it’s true. Think about it, if a female is 21+ with three or less partners, then they are not ADICKted to sex. They have learned to do without it. It’s not that valuable to them. (And she probably has more Toy Stories than Andy!) But anyway, if you f*&^ you STILL have a LOOOONNNNGGGG way to go. A female will let you drill when they reached a certain comfort zone. But getting a female’s heart takes an extraordinary amount of trust and commitment. And that’s what she finds valuable. Can she trust you enough to tell you things without you judging her! Like, she had an abortion? Or that her uncle died right after they got in an argument? All hypothetical, but the point is, if a female thinks of you enough to allow you to see into her life, her mind, and her heart, then you are that special one. That’s like her giving you the keys to her front door. Do you give EVERYBODY your house key? Nah…

I say that to say, that’s why it’s a scary feeling for a female that you are dealing with to lean emotionally on another dude. Why did that motha F*&^#$ get a key?! Maybe he listens better… You ever got frustrated in the lack of communication? “Listen, Stop crying… TALK TO ME!” Response: “I don’t have anything to say”. She doesn’t trust you yet. And personally, I start to get frustrated, “Man… if we don’t have trust, we don’t have anything. So, what’s the purpose…?” And I had to realize that that ish takes TTTTTIIIIIIIIIMMMMMMEEEEE!!!!

I had to realize that at my job, 107.3 Jamz in Greenville, SC, I worked as a Part-Time Promotions Assistant for FOUR YEARS!!!! Putting up the tent, taking down the tent. (And repeat). I was never late to a remote, and I was reliable. I was faithful with the little things and that began my trust ladder. After FOUR YEARS, they finally gave me a microphone. Ending question, when thinking about females who prove to be a challenge, ask yourself, “Have I been faithful with the little things?” If she can’t trust you to be on-time to the movies, if she can’t trust you to call right back when you say, “Babe, let me call you right back”, then do you think she is going to trust you with her house key? *waits for answer* Trust ME, it can be frustrating to remain “faithful with the little things”, but if it’s something that you want, you will get. Hard work pays off and nobody ever drowned in sweat. It took me four years to get a mic. But it was worth it…

Summary:

1.) I didn't call anyone a whore.  Judge yourself though

2.) Know when to throw in the towel

3.) Wash the towel

YMNs

Disclaimer: My fellas might, *looks to the left* probably will, have a problem with this post. They will call me a sell out, a traitor and whatever else they can think of. My response: “I’m not fuckin you, so I don’t care. *shrugs* Here it goes…

Every dude. I repeat EVERY dude has sold a female a dream. EVERY dude! If you real, raise your hand if you have sold a lady a dream before. *raises left hand, right hand and foot* It happens! It F*&^*n’ happens. I tell females all the time, “What’s ya name? Yea… *pops collar* I’m Jay Dukes. I have stacks on deck and I have toured around The World. Yes ma’am. Something like a big deal.” <---- What were those? LIES!!!! Truth: I WORK! I have toured around The Nation, but not The World! So, wasn’t a big lie, but a lil African-American lie aka A DREAM! Dudes are selling dreams like Girl’s Scout Cookies now-a-days. And more than likely, it’s the (Y.M.N.) Y.oung-M.inded N.igga. I can hear the ladies now: “OOO… You so right Dukes. I refuse to talk to anybody on campus because they are so young and stupid!” Whoa! I didn’t just say “young”. I said young-MINDED! In all honesty, you can’t put an age on maturity. Ladies- “#cosignnnn… Say dat Dukes,” *insert neck roll* “But how can you point out a YMN because I don’t have time to waste or whatever.”

*deep breath, long sigh* The number ONE way to tell a YMN is because he has options or “friends”, but is thirsty as F*&^! He wants to be in a relationship waaaayyyy too soon. Like right now! TODAY! “Please go change your status on Facebook to in a relationship babe. Oh… You at work? What’s your password????” WWWWHHHHAAAATTTT??? Just chill…

But why does he want to be in a relationship? Brings me to Number TWO! Status! A YMN’s STATUS is VERY important. He has an image to uphold. A YMN will ALWAYS, I repeat, ALWAYS go after the baddest B*&^%! The baddest chick on the yard, the baddest chick in the club, the baddest chick in revival! Why? Because she makes him look good. Keeping a girl is VITAL to a YMN’s status. Because if you are single, but swear you are the SHIT… females might flirt and make eye contact, but are really thinking, “What the f*&^ is wrong with you?!” Think about fellas! If you in the club and after a couple minutes of GREAT conversation, you ask the lady, “So… You got a man?” What do you want at that point… A honest answer? HELLLLL NOOOO! You want LIES! Because if she took 15 minutes to talk and laugh with ya ass, then something ain’t right at home. So, you want her to say, “Nah… But I do talk to someone.”

Pause: <---- The previous statement is a LIE from HELL! Because if you respect “that guy” enough to acknowledge that yall are even talking then there are two people lying to themselves in this situation. Who? Look in mirror to find the first person, and the second? Look at the person you fuckin! #tooeasy

Play: The best way I can compare a YMN’s mentality when it comes to status is… SHOES! I have more than one pair of shoes. Got shoes for every outfit! But… (gasps) I want THAT PAIR from Aldo! Those are NNNNIIIIICCCCEEEE… I need them. Didn’t have the money to afford those shoes, but I put in EXTRA work and even settled for putting them on Lay-A-Way. But once I got those shoes, I LOVED those f*&^$n’ shoes! I wore them out in the public TWICE and noticed a slight crease! So, HELL NAH… I’m not wearing these everyday. I will just pull them out on special occasions. Just enough for people to KNOW I GOT THEM! Because these shoes right here are the FRESHEST kicks on the block right now. Aldo shoes= My Main chick/ my lady! The baddest chick is mine! Dudes look and stare, but they can’t have her and I won’t tell them what I did to get her! But what she doesn’t know is that more than occasionally, I like to play ball! About three times a week...

In my Jordans! I keep them in the car or my bag. I also run and exercise in them. I can scuff them up and dog them out from time to time. But they will never fail me. Just clean them up! I can jump higher, run faster, and still look good doing it. Jordans= Sideline Ho! She still looks good and she comes around more than often or occasionally. But still knows her place. I REALLY like my Jordans! But LOVE my…

Bedroom Slippers!

Bedroom=Nightime. Or I would wear them to the café when I really didn’t give a F^%$! “It’s Saturday. I ain’t gonna see nobody in here!” Have you ever thought about your bedroom slippers and just been grateful for them. They sit right there! Don’t say nothing. Just chill. They are happy when you put them on, but don’t get mad when you walk around in just your socks either. Bedroom Slippers are the most understanding shoes you have. Bedroom Slippers= The Diamond In The Rough. She is a star! She supports! She listens! She will skip a meal to avoid spoiling her appetite for penis, but…You can't get over what supposedly she's covering up.  What's behind her.  Her past is too FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKEEEEDDDD UP!

You will NEVER, I repeat NEVER throw your bedroom slippers away until somebody makes you! True ish? I KNOW!!!! *drops mic*
