For one, I didn't grow out of my socially-awkward-nerd phase until the end of my freshman year. Secondly, once I got over that hurdle, I found I didn't want to date girls; I just wanted to hook up with them. I realized I didn't actually have to go through the whole "dating process" in order to do that, so I didn't.

It's not too weird. I know I didn't.

DC is different; I went to North Carolina Central. Bougie doesn't really live on the eastside of Durham.

That's one thing I've notice since I left grad school. Now that I'm out of college, I'm having to learn about how to meet women- really, people in general- outside of a school environment. It's been an adjustment, to say the least.

My granddaddy is the only person I've ever met who's admitted to liking baseball; not the history of the sport or the ballpark experience - the actual game of baseball. My granddaddy is also 97 years old, so he was around for the glory days, before more interesting sports came along.

TV goes from leeching off his mom to leeching off his grandparents. I bet Joshua and Margaret wouldn't put up with that shit.

Michael Beach. I just think he needs a win.

I graduated in 2014. Didn't get my job until late last year; public, not private sector.

"I got 25 lighters on my dresser, yessuh, I gotsta get paid."

I saw Chicago hotdogs for the first time and thought, "ya'll are doing too much".

Is the beef between NY and Chicago-style pizza really serious? I used to stay in Chicagoland so I know plenty of people there have a weird thing with New Yorkers, but does it go in the other direction?

I guess that's the main difference. Pork is THE thing in SC/NC. As a kid I rarely saw beef used in bbq.

I've definitely got a regional bias. In the Carolinas-at least the part I'm from-proper bbq is a pork & chicken thing. Beef brisket just seems wrong; not bad, just not bbq (if that makes any sense).

Familiarity has bred contempt.

In all seriousness though, as good as TX style bbq is at other meats, the pork dishes always seems to be lacking. I don't understand why.

Don't sleep on the Carolina Gold.

The truth can be scary.

TX BBQ; Over. Rated.

I'm still a humble young man, so it's nothing to me if a girl is rocking a Nike sports bra with some blue Fruit of the Loom panties she got from Target. But, understand, when I finally climb to the top of the urban planning game and start balling outrageous, I'm gonna be on some mad arrogant sh*t. Every lady I mess…

The main problem with crab legs (really, crabs in general) is that eating them takes more work than its worth. There's not much meat on a crab in the first place and then you've got to pick through all the little nooks and crannies, avoid the gills/eggs/inedible bits. Plus you're guaranteed to bite into a shell…
