eating and.....
Hey, wat up. its you boy Eddy here. I just wanted to share with you an observation of mine. It concerns eating while you walk, do errands etc...... now, we all do it on occasion, i.e. at amusement parks, piers, outdoor shopping places, but even then, it depends on what your eating. Ice creams and corndogs are not gonna get noticed but babyback ribs are a lil different. there's a time and a place for certain activities. Now i'm sure, most of you aren't in the habit of eating while you walk.(the car is somewhat acceptable, but it depends on what it is that you are consuming as well. Chicken nugget?.. cool. Double whopper with cheese?...you look like a slob) If you are, then your ass belongs in the hood. Cause 'round here, it is a common site. It so common in fact, that you don't really notice it. Just the other day some fool walked in eating a "fried chicken thigh." He couldn't even pick the leg for his journey. (which i think is the most portable part of the chicken.) He chose "thigh" with one measly ass napkin for a "base." And then he decided to walk to the store to pick up a few items. When the "walking gourmet" pays, he's doing this one handed reach around bullshit, cause his other hand is busy cradling a half eaten piece of chicken on top a grease soaked napkin. While he walked away, i watched and realized......... Only in the muhfukin hood. And if you don't believe me, then the next time you're in line at your supermarket, bank or post office, bust out a famous star w/ cheese and start grubbin. You'll see what i mean..... peace out.

Hello! I just found your blog via Metafilter and I think it is awesome. You need to post more often, because your stories are entertaining.
Great stuff man!
Your stories are incredible, and your writing style is straight forward. You've got a unique view of the world you live in.
Keep it coming.
You just live part of your life in a strange ass world. But I enjoy your reports of that life.
Love your blog, keep me updated!
You only survive in the "hood" because you have korean privilege: a form of white privilege. I also find your co-opting of African-American inner-city vernacular culturally hegemonic.
Just found your blog. Love it. So keep it comin'.
Good luck to you and your crew.
(Ditto on the Metafilter reference.) Dude! Awesome slice of life! Stuff I never get to see. Serious props. Keep it coming!
Hey man. Just found your blog through fazed. Very entertaining read. You got real talent in story telling. Keep up the posts.
Man, keep writing! That's all I gotta say, just keep it up.
anyone needing to use the words culturally hegemonic vernacular is missing the point. and recognize the irony--- beyatch!
good blog dude. keep it up. and where the fuck is p-tizzy?
maaaaan, you just made me spill mah muthafuckin 40 ounze from laughing too hard. keep it up!
Keep it up, i'll be reading this blog. Lived right by the hood in east cleveland, and used to go to these convience stores all the time. (as a skinny asian kid)
fo shizz
Writing style and all aside, you may want to Google the difference between "your" and "you're".
Yo, your site is da bomb !!!! Love that shit.....as a white boy who lives all up in da hood in my town, I can definitely relate to some of the shizzle you be dizzlin'. (whoops, srry) Just yesterday I was in the store to get some milk and had to ask a woman to move so I could get through the aisle, and when she turned around I noticed she was smack in da middle of a McDonald's double cheeseburger. IN THE STORE !!!! OMFG..............
you are a great writer in that you are able to convey your perspective on life in a tone that is distinctly you.
you are the man
Awesome story about the walker. Just found your blog and have to say it is great. Thank you for taking the time to write here and share what you share. Peace homie!!
This blog is strangely addicting. I think it's because of the sheer absurdity that happens to exist in the ghetto...Fantastic.
Anyway, on a different note:I hate it when random people leave stupid grammar police comments. It is completely unrelated to the content which is really what people should be commenting on.
So /golfclap 'boredinfovor'. Keep it coming so I have someone to hate.
Your blog is awesome! If you ever consider a Twitter or Plurk account please post it. So many fans would like to follow your thoughts about what is happening in your world. I'm so white I'm pale blue. But I always had friends in the ghetto & barrio who would bring me over to hang out. There was some scary shit. But deep down some good people. Your blog reminds me of those characters. Keep up the posts. Your a wonderful writer.
"he couldn't even pick the leg for his journey." I laughed my ass off.
the light fantastic said: "I also find your co-opting of African-American inner-city vernacular culturally hegemonic."
--Only if you view the particular vernacular oppressive.
well done eddy... keep it up
i've added your blog to my rss reader and will be following your adventures

This dude can suck a cock! It amazes me how most people think everyone is supposed to speak job interview all the goddamn time. Do your thang, Bruh!
Hi! I am probably the last person you would expect to be reading your blog. I am a 27 year old, white, suburban housewife from Kansas. That's right, Kansas. But I love your blog! My husband sent me the link because he knows that I have a secret love for all things ghetto/gangsta!
Please write more often! I want to hear more.
I read this blog and then went to a store this past weekend. And what do you know a lady comes in eating buffalo wings. Smackin her lips lickin her fingers touching all the merchandise with her still greasy yet saliva covered fingers. She found what she wanted then goes about licking her fingers each time she turned $1 bills. Everyone in the store was shocked I couldn't help but laugh. The guy behind the counter said "reminds me of this blog I read" I said "Slangin Liquor in the Hood?" He said "Yeah" It was awesome. Great blog. No pressure, man. Just tell it like you see it.
