As a young impressionable lad, I had my older brother help guide my path. My brother is eight years older than me, so he held quite a sway over me. The shit he was into was much, much cooler than anything I was doing. His manner of speaking, the shit he used to say, still peppers my speech, even though we haven't lived in the same house in over 20 years.
The one saying, "dick and onions", was always in the mix. Dick and Onions was "yadda, yadda" or "blaise splee". Sometimes it was "whatever". "What did that broad say to you? Tell that bitch dick and onions!" "I was hangin' out on the block. You know...dick and onions."
When I was talking to a friend of mine I hadn't talked to in a while, he asked me what I was doing for the holiday. I told him I was staying in the D with my girl. He started asking me about her when I realized he thought I was still seeing Thelma. I told him that was done and I'd moved on in major way.
Ray: She was beautiful. I mean she was incredible, dude. How did you let that one go?
KZ: She was irritating. Plus you could TELL she wasn't just raised in the 'jects, she was a part of the 'jects, now and forever.
Ray: But African, she was beautiful! How could you let that pass? Fuck everything else about her, she was a model! I know you got some regrets.
KZ: Nope. Not one. I got a better one. Beautiful, smart, dignified...the whole shot.
Ray: Alright, I'll take your word for it.
KZ: You don't have to. You'll meet her soon enough.
When I said that last line to Ray, I thought of my brother...
Be Cool,
KZ

The visual of dick and onions makes me shed a tear. I'm glad you've been able to shed the layers to get to a lasting relationship with your newest 'top model' TAD.
And I love the 'skin deep' label because it has much meaning.
the stuff I pick up from you..on christmas eve even...Happy Happy Merry Merry!
I like that phrase. Would it be copyright infringement if I borrowed it from time to time?
I feel you on the second half. I met a gorgeous girl and let it go. She was dumb as bricks. She was all body and no convo. And stupidity is a pet peeve of mine.
