Happy Birthday (to my blog!)

My blog is 2 yrs old today! So in celebration......let's take a look back. Ive selected for your reading pleasure 12 of my favorites in no particular order. Let's face it.....none of ya's have been peeking in since the beginning and very few of ya's have went all the way back to look so these are some entries you may have missed.

These are in no particular order.........

1. "Couples and Races" - This is technically the 2nd blog ever, but the first to really say something. While going thru it with KK.....I just begin to think of the parallel between a man and a woman not understanding each other, and people of different races not getting each other. Made sense to me...... http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2004/08/couples-and-races.html

2. "Gentle Teej / bell hooks" - I wrote them back to back and they really do go hand in hand to me. "You aint never seen a nigga like me ever in your life. And that's what you cant understand!" - Puffy "Hate Me Now". Most times I can shake it off when mugs question my sexuality. But every blue moon...the shit really gets under my skin. Im the most un-gay dude ever but 'niggas get the wrong impression of expression' and figure me to play on the otherside of the fence.....or on both.....or even on the DL. Nah son....Im none of them shits. And these two blogs just reassurred me to continue to do me no matter what. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/04/gentle-teej.html / http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/04/bell-hooks.html

3. "Said To Guest/Said In My Head" - This is what happens when you have just had enough. Thank God for having this blog to vent this shit in. They was putting my ass through the ringer! I think I got nominated for Male Blogger of the year behind this one.........

4. "And/A Question" - Sorry if I sound like Im tooting my own horn but this shit here! Fuck that! I came with it!! http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/01/and-question.html

5. "And God said....." - Whew! I was going through it. This is me at my melancholy best. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2004/12/and-god-said.html

6. "What's Ya Quote Game Like?" - Yall niggas dont want nann with the Teej on some movie and tv show quotes. Point blank! Trust!!! http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/07/whats-ya-quote-game-like.html

7. "Happy Valentine's Day Bitches!" - Oooh short and sweet here. I gotta shout out 'Regular Jaim' b/c I lifted this off her page. I think I had been telling nigs for 2 months that my V-Day blog was gonna be some shit. This picture is so powerful when you aint feeling that mushy shit at this time of the year. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2006/02/happy-valentines-day-bitches.html

8. "Pardon Me (The Longest Blog I Ever Wrote)" - Shit was just heartfelt yo. I put it all out there. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/03/pardon-me-longest-blog-i-ever-wrote.html

9. "Happy Columbus Day?" - Another short and sweet one. Me ranting and making sense...which always makes the rant that much better. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/10/happy-columbus-day_10.html

10. "As Promised (The Song Quote List)" - I dont remember which of us thought this up, but Lesley and I had talked about doing this forever it seems. Matter fact Les....did you ever do yours? Anyways...these lyrics have always meant a lot to me and I wanted to put them out there in hopes that one of them might resonate with someone else. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/09/as-promised-song-quote-list.html

11. "Wanted (A Most Basic Emotion)" - I started out to vent and get something off my chest. I accidentally ended up waxing all poetic and shit. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2004/11/wanted-most-basic-emotion.html

12. "Okrah Gets Told No!" -I mean Oprah (or Okrah as I affectionately refer to her) gets denied entrance into a store?!?!?! Oprah FUCKING Winfrey!?!?!!? Shit was hilarious to even fathom.

* "Teej Loves The Kids" - Somewhere while growing up....Im thinking around the end of high school or the start of college...we just get dumb! Kids are the smartest people roaming the planet. This shit proves it. http://teejsays.blogspot.com/2005/09/teej-loves-kids.html
