Today, my 6 year old daughter somehow learned about sex. She also had the open house at her school where she meets her new teachers. When the teacher asked where she came from, she said, "My daddy's balls." FML

The Sky Is NOT The Limit!

I've been highly intrigued by this for the past couple hours, and I've been tweeting it like crazy! (yea...check my twitter updates on the right side of the blog and follow if you aren't already. It's ok...I don't bite. lol) Anyways...I'm taking an astronomy class at State, and after doing a portion of the reading tonight...i'm just extremely curious now.

Mainly, I'm curious about the universe. How big is it? Will it stop growing? Will light ever hit a "wall"? What will happen when it does? Is there another universe beyond this one? Does the universe stretch into eternity? Just so many questions.

I was watching this video about how far things are in our universe, and I happened to find it pretty cool, and wanted to share. So look. It's mad intriguing. Well, okay I'll say this first. I'm having one of my nerd moments right now. I'm a closet nerd when something intrigues me enough to be so, this being one of these moments. So if you aren't a person with a general thirst for knowledge, a person interested in space, or just a person who likes the stuff I post (lol) you probably won't wanna watch it. However, it is still interesting! Check it.

100th Post

This is my 100th post! So for my 100th post, Imm keep it 100! Yea...thanks for yall that have been keepin' up and checkin' out what I've had to say. I know I may not be the most interesting person in the world, or the funniest, or the smartest, or anything like that, but I do it anyways! lol. Even though I don't get mad comments or anything *don't worry my feelings aren't hurt. lol*, it's just satisfying to me that people are, at least, reading it...I just hope I have been able to touch somebody's life with anything off my blog. Whether it produces a good laugh that clears the clouds from your gloomy day, causes you to truly think about how you are living your life in itself, informs you on a topic you had no idea about, introduced you to a part of life you were unfamiliar of, gives you insight into who I was a person and who I am growing into, or simply provides you with an escape from your day, I hope you do get SOMETHING out of it.

I'm not being sentimental either...I'm just sleepy! lol I really am though. I'm fighting Sleep right now, and I just gave it a right hook to the jaw! So i'm taking this time to taunt now while he's stunned before he gets his second wind and TKO's me, knowing this is a battle I will NEVER ultimately win. lol besides, there are still two more posts I wanna put up now before I knock out, cuz I got a full...like...3 days comin' up...so I may not be able to get on here.

But yea...big ups to those who stay reading the blog...to those who leave comments...those that give me ideas to blog about...and those who shout me out on Twitter/their blog/facebook/etc. Huge ups to LoLights, J.Bo, and Shotty (Cannonball) for inadvertently keeping me on the blogging tip with their blogs. And yea...if you didn't get a personal shoutout...please don't get all soft or nothin on me. I love yall nonetheless. And I've been checkin' for yalls blogs. I'll start leavin' comments there too! *Jas, Chioma, Finis....*

Okay I think I covered pretty much everything I wanted to hit on. Just thanks for tuning in, and be sure to stay tuned. J.B. Charisma is still coming with heat, controversial topics, funny anecdotes, inspirational quotes, and everything else! Spread the word about me! And remember, "It's not what you say, but how you say it!"

Man Rule #4

Please do not settle for being "Boyfriend #2"!!!!!

I already find it annoying when ladies feel they need a second (+) boyfriend, but it's even more annoying, as well as degrading to my gender, when I hear males actually referring to themselves as such or try to put themselves in a position to be so. I mean, word?!

First of all, when has it EVER been alright to be second? I was always under the impression that "Second place is the first place loser." By being this "Boyfriend #2", you're really being a loser! A LOSER!

Secondly, do you not have the confidence to get your own girl? You have to go after someone elses to get off? You're actually comfortable with renting? Do you think you are leasing to own? Nah, you're renting, and eventually you'll be evicted, or your lease will expire, and you're okay with that?

Now, if you are okay with this and don't mind being this so-called "Boyfriend #2", then okay. You can stop reading this right now. This series is called MAN Rules, and any real MAN would not settle for being second best in a female's life. So deductively, you'd still be a lil nigga; so please proceed with your life.

To those that actually like to see yourselves as men, let's be real now! There is nothing masculine about being #2. Real talk, and excuse my French, but you're being a bitch! Or maybe I'm just one of a few men that doesn't wanna be where some other man's penis happens to be on a regular basis. I don't see the point. Especially when there are SO MANY other qualified women in the world that would love your attention and time.

Think about it this way. Let's say you happen to be that ONE lucky guy that was upgraded from #2 to #1. Will you be able to sleep comfortably at night knowing that you got what you wanted, or would you be up wondering who her NEW #2 is? If she was able to make you a #2, what makes you think she can't do the same with someone else? Another scenario. Let's say you decided to make some female your girl. You actually put the time in to make it a serious relationship. How many believe in karma? How would you feel if, even though you may have done nothing to her previously, she went out and got a #2? Would you be mad *although you'd be a hypocrite if you were*, or would you just be ok with the fact that you're still #1 *which would make you a bitch*?

Personally, I could never be a "Boyfriend #2." First of all, if I was gonna put myself in that position, I would not like the fact that I'm considered #2. I mean, I'm a top-notch brother, at least I'd like to think so. I got a good head on my shoulders, healthy, intelligent, empathetic, easy to talk to, extra understanding, caring, and blase blase. So why in the world would I...oh and mad handsome! lol *for those that wanna say I'm cocky or conceited or something like that, just save it. I really don't care. I'm just sayin what I feel and what others have told me*...but why in the world would I settle for being somebody's #2 when I can be somebody else's #1 and be damn good at it? I know I'm not the only one that feels that way. Also, women are ultimately looking for that type brother that will compliment them and could potentially be a life partner, and I PROMISE you, if you are allowing and settling yourself to be a #2 in a female's life now, what is the chance any female will see you as ANYBODY's undisputed #1?

I also happen to be a firm believer in karma. You get what you put out. You reap what you sow. All of that. I believe in it, and trust me, it's through personal experience that I can say that. So with that, I could never get into a situation with someone I know already has a significant other. I try my best not to be a hypocrite, and I know I'd be livid if I found out my chick happened to be messin' with some other dude on the side. So I'm not gonna be the type of person I'd be mad at. *Typically, I'd mainly be mad at the chick anyways since she's more responsible. But most times, dudes know the girl is in a relationship. They just don't care. As long as they smash...kinda sad...*

With all of this, at the end of the day, boyfriend #2 seems like a triflin' type nigga though don't he? I think so. lol

Now I'm not judging anybody that happens to love being in that position either. Just simply stating my beliefs on how a MAN should act. So for those who happen to be boyfriend #2 right now, or is trying to get themselves into a position to be so, do not take personal offense. I'm just speaking on my personal views and ideas of such a title in regards to being a man. You do you. I'm just sayin' though...

And ladies I don't care what Pleasure P got to say either, but "if you got a man and a 'buddy' on the side" you should NOT be saying YEEEAAAA!! Lowkey, it's just a subliminal message "allowing" you to act like a garden tool, which is never acceptable. Just keeping it real. More power to you if you like having multiple boyfriends though. If you got the power to have men wanna be with you when you're with someone else...hey work it. I'm just sayin' though...

Big ups to B. Meagley for inspiring me with the idea to write on this topic.

New Beginnings

So today was my first day at GA State. Took a semester off from Emory and transferred. So yea...onto my day.

It's great being in school with my brothers again. I don't know what it is...but things just feel much better when they're around. I love it! But yea...me and Austin have class M-Th morning at the same time, so we'll be walking together pretty much everyday. *yea yea...yall wanna say how cute that is right...ok ok go on ahead and get them over with. lol* but that's good cuz we can check each other to make sure we get up and out every morning. First of all, it's been a while for me walking to class in the morning, so the feeling almost...almost...felt fresh and new. But secondly...I'm back in the city!!! For those that don't understand...I'm from Long Beach, California. I'm a city boy at heart. I'm used to things being walking/bike distance. Also, I may sound crazy, but I love the sounds of the city. I love hearing police sirens *unless they're behind me* and helicopters and horns blaring and people yelling! I love it. Just being able to walk in that atmosphere really feels like home. When I moved to GA, I moved to a tree-infested, deer-habitated, uncharted territory in the boondocks of Clayton County, where the only sounds I heard were crickets chirping, and the only place I could feasibly walk to was my mailbox. Yea...just picture my misplacement. Don't get me wrong, I've grown into it now after being here for five years...but I digress.

So my first class begins at 10. I go in, take my seat...and then it hits me. Yo...I'm in school again! It wasn't necessarily the shock of actually being in school or anything like that, but the fact that I was in class, with students, and a staff teacher randomly assigned to teach this class, with my backpack *YES IT'S BACKPACK...NOT BOOKBAG!!!!!* and stuff...ready to go. It was kinda crazy. So yea...the teacher seems pretty straight. Real straight forward, a bit silly. A good little mix ya know? In and out in 25 minutes. It's the first day...yall know how that goes. So I walk out into the plaza where all the other students who don't have class seemingly chill and, as they call it, "people watch." So I start to walk around, peep the scene, just take in my new environment. After a while, I ran into one of the homies from Lovejoy High School and his sister who I know. Dapped them up and hugged...met a cool chick that was hangin with them. And, I proceeded to people watch with them. I didn't have class again for another hour and a half, so we kicked it. Talked about ball, the school, he was schoolin me a bit on the people there, and then those three decided they wanted to give me a tour of the need-to-know spots. They was real cool wit it, and I appreciate it greatly. So big ups to Keith, Ciera, and Sarah. Afterwards we chilled for a bit longer until my class at 12.

Second class. A philosophy class. Lovely. I love thinking. Teacher seems VERY reasonable. NO PAPERS!!!!! Holla atcha boi! but it was cool. Went over the administrative course. Filled out this sheet in which he asked us our name and classification and stuff like that, but also asked us our opinions on certain philosophical doctrines we will be covering over the semester. I decided to actually get deep on most of them, it's been a minute since I could flex my intelligence and ability to expound, so I took full opportunity of it. lol...it's the nerd in me. Then we had a group activity in which we discussed those same doctrines on that sheet of paper amongst ourselves. It was a fun discussion, hearing other people tactfully expressing their opinions. Then we left. lol

So after class I make my way to the plaza to get up with Drew who was already out of class. So I meet up with him, and we begin to, as they say, "people watch". lol We both didn't feel like making the trek back home, and me and Austin had already planned to hit the gym and begin our workout regiment after he got out of class...so we kicked it until Austin got out of class. He finally got out, and we still kicked it for a few minutes! lol...it was the first day so we just wanted to see what was poppin, what the females were lookin like *which happens to be the premise for my previous post lol...not that I didn't feel that way before, but today more than furthered my conviction. lol*, and just talkin as brothers do. After a while, Drew dipped to the crib as me and Austin headed to the gym. As we're on the way there, a young lady approaches me carrying a load of books, lookin' all uncomfortable, and kindly asked if anyone would like to help her carry her books. Being the gentleman I tend to be for some reason, I decided to help her out...besides, I knew I had seen her before, so I wanted to figure out who she was. So we're walking and talking, and it turns out I had seen her at a party I went to a couple weeks ago. We realized who we were, and just talked school and life. After I dropped her and her books off, I bid her farewell and headed to the gym.

On the way to the gym...I became re-familiarized with how bold females can be. So I'm walking right...just mindin' my own business, whistlin and skippin in my own mind...and I hear this "Hello!"...so I turn around, and one out of a group of four ladies begins to approach me. She was like, I'm Alexis, what's your name?! "J.B." "Real nice to meet you. See you guys *talking to her friends* there's nothing wrong with being friendly." "Oh, nah there's nothing wrong with being friendly at all!" "Oh I know that. I'm extra friendly! Especially to attractive looking men like yourself." "Oh. Well thank you." "So are you a freshman?" "No I'm a transfer." "Oh from where?" "Emory." "OH REALLY?! Damn so you're cute AND smart!" "*smiley face* yea I guess. I manage." "Oh I'm sure you do." "Yeaaa...well nice to meet you guys. I actually got things to do." "Ok bye! I'm sure I'll be seeing you around!" *briskly walks away* and THEN...I'm walking down the street...and I see these three girls walking towards me on the opposite side of the street...but i'm chillin...tryin to meet up with my brother. "PSSSSST". I didn't know what that was. "PSSSST." I turn around...sho' nuff...those same girls across the street are lookin' at me...basically walking backwards...so I wave to be courteous, and keep on movin. "PSSSSST"...I turn again... "Hey Baby!" "Hello!" *chuck deuces and continue walking.* It was so funny. lol. anyways...after that...met up with Austin, worked out, then walked home and relaxed for the rest of the night.

All in all...I love my new learning environment. I got my brothers there with me...and we've gotten extra close! So that...it's refreshing to be back in a learning environment after a nice break from it *very therapeutic*, a new and more familiar environment, and the girls are ridiculously bad!! lol...you can more than likely chalk it up to it just being new faces...but I don't care. Some of them are just BAD!!! BAD BAD BAD!!!! lol but yea...i'm not doing this every day...actually...i'n not doing this for any other school day unless it's mad interesting. lol...but yea...I know a few people will wanna know about the first day...so here it is! :) Hope you enjoyed! lol

How to: Raise Our National Education Level

I'm pretty sure that if we had more teachers like this guy in Georgia, it's education ranking would soar above any other state in America today. It's a shame though that we do not have teachers like these. Check this guy out...teachers need to be more like him.

Just a fun fact that's not so fun, Georgia is currently ranked 49th in education in our nation. Boo.



p.s. What did the five fingers...say to the face?????

p.p.s starting a new section. called How To. Yea...

You can't do it! No matter what. You can hate on it. You can talk about it. You can ignore it. You can do almost whatever you want to it. But...you CAN'T do this.

I can't think of a witty title. lol

Even if yall don't know about this certain situation between two rappers right now, he explains everything pretty well. I, in my spare time, have been a bit up to date for the most part...so hearing this take on the situation is actually quite refreshing. I'm really just posting this for myself. lol...but you should check it out as well, especially for my erudites that love to intellectualize situations for the sake of boasting your intelligence while maintaining an equal level of sarcasm to make others, especially those involved in said situations, seem imbecilic.

Another birthday shoutout to a fellow McGuffie.

Real talk...I really can't picture any moment of my life before his birth. For as long as I can remember, he's been there. It's almost as if he's like my twin...but he's not. lol. but yea man...it's funny. We're almost like polar opposites in a sense. I'm very outgoing. He's not quite so. I love dancing. He doesn't. He loves hats. I can care less about them. I love keeping peace. He just makes sure his point gets across at any cost. I love to push myself to the most of my abilities, yet fail to understand what my limits are sometimes. He will rarely push himself, yet he is fully aware of his capabilities.

But we ALWAYS have each other's back. Always. We'll listen to each other most times before we listen to our parents. lol but yea man...this my brother man.

Happy Birthday to yet another younger brother that's bigger than me, Drew Aaron McGuffie!! Kid turned 20 today. Show some love!



Picture may be a bit blurry...but whatever, you get the point!

Checkin' In

Quick update. I am trying to get my stuff together so I can post regularly...but honestly, besides being busy...i kinda like it this way. A lot of my actions are emotionally-driven, so to speak. Meaning, I only do things when I really feel like it. Don't get me wrong, I feel like hitting this up and keeping up with it regularly. It's a great release and way to keep in touch with everyone. But I got other stuff to worry about first, so I really feel like handling that first. Also on that point, I have a LOT of stuff semi-prepared to put up here. But I'm also not in that serious of a mood. In the past, I wrote a lot of that serious stuff because I was, for some reason, in a very serious, real-life mood, so it was easy to get those done. Now, I'm more on the just giddy and happy side of life. So my next few posts will be of the hilarious type. I can't stay serious forever...yall know that! lol...but when I do finish those posts *I got Real Talk Vols., Man Rules, and a poem in the works*, trust they gonna be rich. but i'm not in that type mood right now, so I would be doing those entries a disservice. so until then...imma be silly. It's the end of the summer. Let's end it with a kick and a giggle. :)
