The N-Word Revisited....Again

A n*gga always want what a n*gga can't have/so a n*gga steals whatever a n*gga can grab/a n*gga never goes to school/n*ggas only know the "block" or the "lab"

"Look At You", NomadX

Its been about 2, maybe 2 1/2 years since I've said the N-word. I guess you can say in a couple more I won't ever have to worry about myself saying it ever again. It really isn't hard to do. You just think a little more before you speak. You kinda use a better thought process.

Anyway....

Does it bother anyone else when someone who isn't Black uses the word? I know people who are Latino and they use it like its nothing. Then there are White boys who use it, but its weird because they call each other the N-word. Two White guys calling each other the N-word. Next you'll tell me that Black people will go around calling each other "crackers". That is just wrong.

Sometimes, I think I might possibility care about my people too much but not enough to really do something. What the Hell can a blog really do to change anything?

I just hope that if you are reading this you at least take a moment to wonder, can we win the war by winning one battle at a time? I also challenge you to try and go one whole day out in public without saying the N-word once. Just one day. Cause one can turn to two, then three, then the next thing you know....2 years!

Where U At?

*Break*

We breakin' up again/we makin' up again...I guess we f*ck it then "Bittersweet", Kanye West

I'm getting tired of wondering around with all these women around me but being unable to commit to just one. I've tried having a girlfriend plenty times before but it never felt like we were on the same level at the same time.

I don't have trouble meeting women....I have trouble finding available women. You know. The ones who aren't married or have a boyfriend. Those times that I do meet women who are involved I approach them in a friend way. I respect their situation...I don't wanna break up a relationship. Other people must not see it that way cause by perception of my nature...they think I'm always trying to "holla" at a female I'm talking to.

Its not my fault that I come off...I guess without sounding too vain...charming.

Anyway, the real question is....where you at Miss Right? Its not like I'm too old but I'm at a age where I'm going to have to figure out what I really want. As far as a career, lifestyle, etc. I'm not too worried....sometimes its better to be alone for a while so you can get yourself together. Cause I sure as HELL wouldn't want a girl who doesn't have her sh*t together.

Hate or Love it

Started my first day of FTD today. Damn! I hate having to sit in a classroom and learn about stuff I'm gonna be doing outside. Hopeful after the first week, we'll spend a lot more time out on the flightline. That's where it goes DOWN!



Its funny to see that everybody who isn't a Crew Chief, wants to be a crew chief. They seem to be fascinated with our profession. It kinda makes me feel like I'm even more important than I might be.



I was told the reason everybody has a love/hate relationship with crew chiefs is because if you tell somebody that you're in the Air Force, the first thing they assume is that you're a pilot. Then you say no...I fix the plane...they instantly become intrigued by that.



It makes perfect sense...you either "fly or fix". Other Air Force personnel kinda hate that fact. You can be a nurse anywhere...a cop anywhere...a accountant anywhere!

My Thanksgiving? Pt.1

First I'd like to say thank you to the Ekker family for inviting me into their home and making me feel like one of the family. God Bless you all.



Now to the fun stuff...



Me and Kyle(Ekker) go on a short trip to the store that ends up being a lets go around and see some people I haven't seen in a while. I'm down so off we go.



We stop at a few places then he says "I used to work at this bank, lets swing by there". Cool. No problem. So we go in the bank and he's chatting it up with some women he had worked with. Then this one lady comes over and he starts talking to her and they go in the back looking for someone else. I take a seat and kinda zone out to myself. Then they come back out to the lobby after not being able to find the person.



I notice that the lady keeps looking at me as we walk back over to her desk....they continue chatting while I'm in my own world....then it happens!



She says this..."We don't carry that brand anymore(quick pause), (points at me) they steal it." WHAT!!!!!!!!!!



Who the F*CK is "they"?!?! I look around real quick like, "I know this b*tch ain't talking about me"!



She quickly explains and apologizes that she was talking about my shirt(Ecko) and teenage girls("they"). I must have missed that part. When she was saying the statement, she meant to point a whole lot sooner than she did.



Otherwise there were laughs abound....racism meets humor....and everyone gets to go home.



Me and Kyle had a big laugh about that one...he said that he even got a little nervous when she said that.

Here's a random picture though

Option Play

Today was my first day back at work and it was alright. Besides the fact that I didn't really do anything..it was cool.

So many people are asking me what I'm doing for Thanksgiving. I want to go home but if I can't, Ekker said I could go to Florida with him to visit his family. Never been to Florida...so that's a big deal. Some people also invited me to come to their houses to eat with them and their families...so many options...so many choices...

What to do?

21 Questions

21 Questions....interviewed by Lauren Jones

1. What is your full name, age, and hometown?

Damon Jevon Wilkerson. I'm 24 and from Hopkins aka Hoptown South Carolina.

2. What brings you to Georgia?

Business. Well the Air Force told me to be here, so I showed up.

3.What exactly do you do in the Air Force?

Honestly, I'm not supposed to say for sure. Let's just say that what I do for a living helps kill bad people and keeps good people alive.

4. Let's switch it up now: What is your favorite movie right now? All-time?

Right now I watch Idlewild a lot. But my all-time favorite movie is the Back to the Future trilogy.

5. Those are very different genres. What drew you to those kinds of movies?

Well with Idlewild it was Outkast. That's my favorite music group. With Back to the Future its the story and effects. One of the best plots ever. The future is cool.

6. Speaking of music, what are you currently bumpin'?

That new Kanye West, old Outkast, Killer Mike, Lil' Wayne, Corrinne Bailey Rae...

7. Corrinne Bailey Rae? Kinda soft don't you think?

Naw. Sometimes you got to listen to something that doesn't strike the same emotions as hip hop music. Like Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, John Legend. Smoother shit to mellow you out. I listen to all kinda of stuff.

8. Do you also like your women like you like your music?

I think so. Black is beautiful but I find women sexy as a whole. That means I don't discriminate between races. I may one day marry a Black woman but if I didn't the lady I'm with will be the one I love. No matter her race. I don't care who has a problem with that. Similar skin color doesn't make everyone else bad. Look at my friends; Asian, white, black, mixed, etc

9. Nice world view. Got any kids?

Naw. I wanna have at least two someday. A boy and a girl. Already got the names picked. Now that's sounds soft doesn't it? (laughs)

10. What are their names?

If its a girl - Sanaa. Like Sanaa Lathan. If a boy - David Tolvin Wilkerson. I like the name David and Tolvin was my grandfather's middle name.

11. Are your grand parents still alive?

No. My grandfather died when I was 11 years old. My grandmother died in 2005.

12. How hard was that for you?

Aww man. (pauses) My grandfather's funeral was the first I'd ever been to in my life. I wasn't gonna go at first but my cousin convinced me to. My mom and grandmother cried their eyes out but I just couldn't. I've never cried at a funeral. Not at my dad's mother, or my mom's mother's funerals either. Weird huh?

13. Got a reason for the stone cold nature?

I use to cry all the time when I was a very small child. One day I just decided crying doesn't change anything for me. It might make people feel better I guess. Or I'm trying to be strong for other people. That might be it. Like, "you sleep, I'll keep watch".

14. Home alarm system - gun or dog?

Dog. I love dogs. God has blessed me with some of the best dogs a man could have. I wanna get a English bulldog when I get the chance. I'll name him Bumper. Girls love a man with a dog.

15. Let's go deeper. What was your last relationship like?

It was weird in a way. Everything was cool until.(pauses) What do you do when the feelings just change. You don't see the person the same way.

16. How about this then. What's your relationship with your mother like?

She's my road dog. My biggest cheerleader. Ride or die for me. (laughs) Since I ain't around too much anymore she doesn't rely on me for all the answers. So now she goin' back to puttin' her foot in people's asses. Like her daddy did.

17. Would you want your girl to be the same way?

Hell yeah! I want a girl who has the mentality that you either tell me to walk away from the situation or tell me to bust that muthafucka's nose!(laughs) If a girl gives her shit she gives them a chance to apologize then she puts the bitch in her place. Like on some Pam Grier level: smart, sexy, and capable of fucking you up.(laughs)

18. As long as she doesn't go Coffy on you. How do you attract this Friday Foster?

People tell me I'm funny. I just try to entertain myself(pauses) If you wanna laugh, go ahead. I believe the best thing I can do is be myself. If a girl doesn't like me, something is wrong with her. She really is missing out on one of the best people she'd ever meet.(laughing)

19. Is that confidence or cockiness?

Its a defense mechanism to protect me from gettin' hurt by some damn female again! It weeds out all the people who ain't worth shit. After you've known me for a while(pauses) and you still don't like me. Fuck you! Don't need you. But on the other hand, if we cool like that(pauses) I love you! I'll fight for you, even when you probably in the wrong. I'd just tell you about it later.(laughs)

20. Alright, here is a tough one. Name the one girl in your lifetime that you wish you still had contact with? Her real name?

Wow! That's a bad question! Actually, there are two girls.(pauses) But if I had to pick between them(pauses again) I'd have to say Valencia. You know somebody for 12 years of your life then "poof", they're gone. Not a phone call, letter, stray e-mail. Nothing. You'd think that in 6 years we'd see each other by accident by now. Right? The other chick(pauses briefly) I only knew her for a short time but I pretty much fell in love with her . I could get on my cell right now and call her but I can't bring myself to do it. I don't think the conversation would go well.

21. Final question. What is a dream that you have for yourself?

It may sound small but it is my dream to one day have my own design firm. In some capacity as a clothing line, website, art gallery I'd want to get my artwork seen by the world. Its the only thing that pushes me to draw now. Currently its not pushing too hard. I guess after I travel the world a little more I'll get back my groove.

MidiMarc you a FOOL for this ONE!

Today was my last day of FTAC. I actually enjoyed it. It gave me a chance to meet some people that are also new to the base, are my age, and learn some things I didn't know.

We had a graduation ceremony and everything...I still think TSgt Jenkins doesn't really like me. Oh well.

I kinda amazed by how much people are feeling my homeboy Marcum's music. I always thought it was good but to hear people who don't know him go CRAZY over it is surreal. They always asking if I really know him...like I might be frontin'. He's something of a small celebrity here. I'm just cool by association.

I guess as a good friend I can take the initiative to push his products for him...since we're both talented.

Reflections Eternal

The first logo I did for my personal art collection/design company. It started out slightly different than this. Over time I might evolve it again to fit the way I'm feeling. Some people look at it and think it's a reflection on me...whatever. I just what to do something with puzzle pieces. That's really all it was supposed to be.

Til next time....Peace my brotha

The Very Beginning...Chances

This is the first of many entries into my new blog spot. I hope that any and everyone who reads this fully enjoys the insanity that is NomadX.

Today is the third to the last day of FTAC...I honestly kinda enjoyed it. Got a chance to meet some people from my base. I think it is a chance to make some new friends(which I don't have a problem doing). I don't think I'll really have a lot of girls hanging around like when I was in Tech School. Just a fact of life...that's cool though. I always will have the chances to go to ATL and other places.

So I'm not that worried.
