KZ: I really would've done right by her.
Slish: What about the distance.
KZ: I would've made it work. I would've found a way.
Slish: You think so?
KZ: Who knows. Fuck it.
Tuesday
Meli: You ready to see your girlfriend?
KZ: I don't have a girlfriend. And if she ever heard you say that shit, it would make me look like I was lying about the nature of our relationship.
Meli: African, that's your girlfriend.
KZ: I'm serious, don't say that shit. If she meets you, I'll be fucked if you say that. If she went on a date tonight, I couldn't say shit about it. That's not a girlfriend.
Meli: So you don't think she likes you.
KZ: I think she likes me like she likes the mildly retarded boy who works in the mailroom. I'm a nice, harmless dude. Does she like me, like me? I can't let myself believe that shit. It's presumptuous.
Meli: You are a fucking idiot.
Wednesday
KZ: I just thought of something. If we're 36, that means Santa Black* is 40.
Three: Damn, that's right! Santa Black is 40!
KZ: Are you old yet?
3: Oh, hell yeah. I was thinking about this the other day. I think I'mma off myself at 39. I don't know if I can take 40.
KZ: If you need help, I'll pull the trigger, word to muhvuh.
3: If you take me out, who's gonna take you out?
KZ: Father Time.
Stay Cool,
KZ
*Santa Black was one of the members of me and Three's clique in college. One of the coolest cats you'd ever wanna know. He called himself alternately Santa Black and Saint Ni.gga. We asked him why and he said "Cuz I'm young, Black and gifted." He was in grad school getting his PhD in Physics when we were still in undergrad. We haven't been in contact with him since 1996.

Your convo with Slish sounds like one I've been having with my boy. I really think I can make it work, then again, I dunno.
I don't have anything to say. I just wanted to be seen :)
lol..man I don't know when the last time I had a real phone conversation. I usually only use the phone to set up booty call appointments.
@ Lol..Liquor & T.V I till the same I see...lol
@ Zed if I knew you were taping me I would said whole lot more...lol...
The rest of the convo went like this
Slish: Zed they are some women who are just out of my league. I don't even try to get at em.
Zed: Yeah but Slish we're at the age where we always have to try.
Slish thinks for a second: Nope. I like it when the odds are in my favor...lol
Zed - I'm pushing forty and I'm okay with it. I'm at my sexual peak, I'm confident and I got my own shit! Forty will be alright with me. Ummmmm...Check with me agian in February and see if I'm still so optimistic. : )
have i even talked to anyone on the phone this week??
@Syn
I be fightin' them inner demons and whatnot.
@Dyna
Leave that Indian dude alone!
@L and TV
Is that why you stopped calling me?
@Slish
I didn't wanna put my mack philosophy out there!!! LOL
It was a good conversation all around.
@Mack
When did you add that middle initial? You gettin' too grown!
That actually sounds like the way it would go. You and T Cas both got a good intuitive sense.
@Angie
Sexual peak?
*ididntreadanythingelse*
@Aqua
You gotta lie to them. I already told 'em about our late night phone calls.
KZ
I have no complaints about 40.
I get real giddy knowing that men obsess about "the nature of our relationship"
notyourgirlfriend?
and here i thought things were going swimmingly well!
does that mean your mom's not gonna call me?
@ R Mack...You're young and invincible you're supposed to think that way!!! ..I'm old yella been through enough chicks to know who gonna roll over and play catch the donkey and who's gonna tell my donkey to fuck off...lol...
Ugh this is a tough one for me cause I ain't a fan of LD relationships. However, lets forget that for a sec and allow me to be a hypocrite if I can...if you feeling her and she feeling you, distance won't mean shyt. But you won't know unless you try. So in the infamous words of Mos Def..."you better go get her Humphrey!"
Now that I've said that I'll admit (here...but I'd be inclined to deny it after today) that if the right dude shows up distance won't mean a dayum thing cause I'll pack my shyt with the quickness to be wherever the love of my life is. If you see this potential in the woman to whom you refer then I say go for it. Wait! She ain't in Africa is she?? Cause Iownt know...Africa is hella far LOL!!!
@Chele
Yeah. I haven't been here in a minute. The tables have turned somewhat. I don't like it one bit!
@Miss Ahmad
She'll be calling you in the next hour!
@Slish
You're essentially right. But to quote a famous poem "Do not go gentle into that good night". Imma keep reachin' for supermodels until I quit reachin'. Just like some chicks keep reachin' for wallets.
KZ
@RD
She ain't that far away at all. Mentally I think we're a million miles apart, but this is the jet age. There is unlimited physical potential.
KZ
Zed, I haven't even touched him, yet!
Big Sis (Roycee), I second that motion!
you aw'eddy know I ain't got NATHAN to say about THIS shit..... I think it's crazy personally.....
*shankign my dayum head*
And, uh, just to confirm to all the readers NO, SHE IS NOT HIS GIRLFRIEND.
Hey!! I resent that kill yourself at 40 comment. I'm co-signing on what Angie said. I'm in my 40's, at my sexual peak and as sexually adventurous as I was in my 20's.(sorry if that was TMI)
Got my own money, my own house, my own car, confident and secure. You and Three betta check out the 40 something sisters!! Especially if you don't want no babies.....
@Dyna
You gon' give him some, I just know it!!!
*runsoutoftheroomsobbing*
@Robyn
*sigh*
I'm in the trenches, doing my best.
@OneFrom
Sexually adventurous, you say?
*rubbinghandstogether*
No hate to older women whatsoever! We're talking about our salad days in comparison to now. He and I view ourselves in a certain context, young and creative. It's sort of a mourning period we go goin' on.
KZ
Dang Zed, when will stop fighting these damn inner demons, then? Sheesh....I'm 30, nice looking, nice body (so they say), nice personality, goals, not a gold digger cause I'm working for mine, and I can't find no damn body worth keeping. Ok, officially depressed again. **hanging head** LOL
Meant to say when will *I stop fighting the inner demons...
My convos are so lame compared to yours.
Mine too.
@Syn
Everybody seems to be going through the same shit.
*nicebody?proof?please?*
@Stilts and Hassan
If y'all were as neurotic as I am, your conversations would be different. All my convos are my friends trying to ease all my self doubt. I'm sure it's exhausting to them.
KZ
Proof? LOL! I said, 'so they say'. I'm my worst critic.
