Liquid Courage

For those of you who don’t know what liquid courage is, it’s a little extra confidence someone gets after a certain amount of alcohol is consumed.  Now with that being said, you might see a lot of things when you go out that probably make more sense if you know what condition some of the people were in.  Here are things to avoid or help to avoid if you are a true friend.  Liquid courage will not get you a record deal.  No matter if you think you sound like Keyshia Cole and try to play every one of her songs in the juke box or request them from the Dj, to everyone else at the bar you sound like Keyshia No.  Diddy or Jay-Z is not walking through those doors to give you a record deal.  Liquid courage will not make you stronger.  So if you are 5’3” 105 pounds wet, just because after a few drinks you think you take the guy at the end of the bar who is 6’5” 240, chances are you might be calling 911 to have the paramedics remove his shoe from your butt.  Liquid courage will not give you sex appeal.  Instead of you thinking you are looking sexy and everyone is looking at you because you good.  What they are really saying while they are laughing is “Did you just that drunk chick fall?”  One of the only good things liquid courage does for you is gives you confidence to talk to that man or woman you have been looking at all night.  Depending on your condition at the time you make your move will determine whether or not you are getting that number.  If you are slurring and spitting in the person’s face as you are talking, you might or will get a drink thrown on you.  If you can compose yourself to look somewhat decent, you might lucky and get that number.

It’s amazing to see how much more confidence someone has after a few drinks.  Now what they do with that confidence can be hilarious as well.  Just make you sure you don’t hear these words the next day from a friend “I can’t believe you did that last night.”  Also make sure that if you do have liquid courage running through you system that you have ride home and don’t climb your drunk butt behind the wheel of a vehicle.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until the next time, stay cool.

After Halloween

I remember the last thing I said in my Before Halloween blog was choose your costume wisely.  I think I’m going to vent a little bit.  I really don’t understand why people want to get their sexy back on Halloween of all days but don’t regularly dress like that.  And it’s not just women, men were trying to act like they were super models in what looked like a little kids costume, WHAT WAS THAT.  It’s just not right seeing a grown man wearing basketball shorts like he played basketball in 1950 when he is 5’8” and weighs 280, YOU NEED YOUR ASS BEAT!!!!  You know it’s cool to be very creative with your costume but it’s not creative when it takes you 30 minutes to get in a costume just to cut it off of yourself when you are done with it.  Women, I warned you to cover up what ever you didn’t want be seen.  If you suffer from noassatall, don’t wear a short skirt.  That only looks like you have a very long back with a crack in it.  And to the ones with too much junk in the trunk, don’t wear a short skirt either.  It’s not covering everything up back there and you are getting the married men in trouble for staring.  Another thing, not everyone wants to see your chest.  No matter if they are real, real fake or hang like 2 hot water bottles, Cover them up.  You are not Janet Jackson.  If you were to have a wardrobe malfunction, you won’t get a lot of attention.  The only attention you will get is when you get kick out of the party.  Finally to some parents you get a big YOU NEED YOUR ASS BEAT for letting your kids go out as a school girl, Lady Gaga or any celebrity where clothing is optional.  I wanted to kick those parents in the knees and chop them in the throat for that.  I really don’t know what else to say about that.

Shout out to everyone who put real thought into there costume and kept it clean to a certain degree if they were with kids.  If you were one of those people who only had costume just to try to win a costume contest and not just to have fun and party, chances are you probably didn’t win the contest.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  I’m also starting to put some funny quotes on there as well.  Until the next time, stay cool.

Before Halloween

Halloween is a couple of days away.  Most people have already gotten their costumes and are ready for the parties or work.  To the ones who haven’t gotten their costumes yet, here are a few tips that you might want to take into consideration.  Is it just me or women’s costumes starting to expose more and more each year?  With that being said to the big women out there, if you are thinking of going that route you might want to put something else either on top or under your costume to cover up what you don’t want to be showing.  Either that or you really shouldn’t have bought that costume.  Now you’re trying to drop it like it’s hot at a party and all of a sudden you’re ripping out of your costume like the incredible hulk and find yourself showing something that shouldn’t be seen in public.  Another good tip for women is to try to stay away from outfits like a school girl, girl scout or cheerleader.  Then you wonder why we have some child molesters out here looking at little girls because of what they saw on Halloween.  Men, try to stay away from wearing a super hero costume.  That’s just your alter ego talking and wanting to come out one night without people calling them crazy.  Dressing up as aqua man is not a good look just because you think you are him and want to play in the tub.  And I don’t want to see any man wanting to be a chip n dale dancer, STOP THE MADNESS!!!!  They were chosen to be that for a reason.   Parents, stay away from dressing your kids like certain celebrities.  I saw a show where these parents dressed their kids up like Julia  Roberts in Pretty Women knowing she played a prostitute in the movie and Dolly Parton with fake boobs and fake butt for a competition, WHAT THE **** WAS THAT!!!!  What are you teaching your kids by doing that? Are the parents dressing the kids like that because they can’t?

Halloween is a time to dress up, be creative with your costume and have fun with your friends.  Remember kids want to be what they see on Halloween so choose your costumes wisely.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until the next time, stay cool.

When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong

The reason I’m calling this blog that is because I see too many people who think they tough only when they are with a group of friends, want to talk tough on the phone aka telephone tough guy or do things to people they think they can get away with it but are quiet as a mouse when they are around certain people.  And it goes so well with what I’m writing.  I saw a few of those moments when it went wrong.  I saw someone throw an empty plastic bottle at a guy on a motorcycle, WHAT WAS THAT.  Now I don’t know what was going through that person’s head for them to throw the bottle and throw it at someone else or why they chose to throw it at someone on a motorcycle.  But I’m pretty sure they weren’t expecting the other person to turn around and come back.  So instead of standing there to see what was going to happen, they decided to duck in a restaurant not knowing the person on the motorcycle saw where they went.  You know someone was about to get there ass beat when you see someone go out of a door you’re not supposed to go out of.  I was hoping to see the some action but never did.  Another time was when I saw someone get put to sleep.  When you run your mouth while you are drinking and not paying attention to your friends going outside to smoke or to the restroom, you might want to chill out and be aware of where your friends are at.  Now they are coming back from the restroom and outside smoking to find you laid out on the ground.  Too much liquid courage in your system now you are getting carried out of the bar talking about what happen.

Those are just few situations that happen when keeping it real goes wrong.  I’m sure that people have a lot more and I’ll probably have some more to tell you as well.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until the next time, stay cool

What you see is what you get

What you see is what you get can be one of the realest thing that comes out of a person’s mouth these days but only if you ask the right questions.  Well some people would say that is giving too much information when you do not really know the person yet and I would say you are right to a certain degree about that but then you might want to tell the person you are talking to and getting to know about your alter ego before they find out by surprise.  Now you look confused when they do not want to talk to you no more because they met batman when you were trying to hang from the ceiling fan, WHAT WAS THAT.  Or let them know you are a thrill seeker.  They were thinking you were being romantic one evening by going on a helicopter ride but you forgot to tell them until they were getting in the helicopter that you are going to be jumping out of the helicopter.  Now you are mad because they smacked you upside your head before running to their car.  Or let them know you like to wear wigs and your hair is really short.  Now you are mad because when you open your door, he looked at you and ran to his car because you did not tell him you look like Grace Jones without your wigs.   And what happens when what they tell you, you don’t take them seriously?  And how could you take them seriously?  If someone told you that they are a nudist and only wear clothes to work or on a date, would you believe them or wait until they answer their front door in nothing but slippers and glasses.  Or they don’t believe in deodorant, perfume or soap.  Now you’re trying to figure out who smells like hot garbage in the restaurant.

There are many scenarios with this one both good and bad.  The main reason for this is to keep it real.  A lot of people think they have to put on a fake personality or something they do not normally do or leave out certain details for others to like them.  Be yourself, crazy or not because that all you know how to be.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until next time, stay cool  

Loud Perfume/Cologne

How can you describe the scent of too much perfume or cologne on someone other than being loud?  I don’t mean loud as in a high volume of sound that could hurt your ears.  I’m talking about loud in terms of if a person has too much perfume or cologne on that the scent makes your eyes water.  I’m talking about so loud that when that person leaves the room, the scent lingers for hours in that room after they are long gone.  Now you have to keep a door or window open with a fan going so you head won’t hurt from inhaling the fumes like paint.  Don’t get me wrong, using perfume or cologne is a sign that a person takes care of themselves, shows some style and depending on what kind of perfume or cologne people wear how much money they have or wish they had.  But what do you say to someone who uses way too much?  Everyone has encountered someone like that.  If not, chances are you are that person that I’m talking about.  You have to have an incredibly bad sense of smell to not know how loud you smell or just don’t care how loud you smell.  If you do have a bad sense of smell and don’t think you smell loud, take a look around the room and see how many people’s eye is watering or people starting get headaches because there is no decent ventilation in the room at the next meeting.  They are not crying because they think your presentation was that good or head hurts because they may be hungry.  What ever happen to just a few squirts of perfume or cologne could last you all day?  Now we have people who smell like they take a bath in it.  And what I can’t stand is when someone that smell very loud hugs you and their scent seems to overtake the scent of whatever you have on now people are looking at you like you stink.  Or when someone walks by and the smell hits you.  Now that person got you smelling yourself as if you walked through the perfume isle at the store.

I really don’t know what to say about that other than if you think you need that much perfume or cologne, maybe you should take a better shower or bath or whatever you do to wash your ass.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until the next time, stay cool

WAKE UP!!!!

This is a chance to get whatever is bothering me off my chest and into writing at this moment.  It may be some very random thoughts.  My first random thought is if you are going to the mall or on a date with a woman, you shouldn’t wear a fitted hat that is too small for your big head and afro, a sweat shirt, baggy jeans with holes in them and sandals with some off white socks because they are dirty, WHAT THE **** IS THAT!!!!  Isn’t it in one way a man’s job to impress the woman with how they dress?  And that’s not saying too much about her taste either if she is out with him looking like that or she just won’t say anything and not talk to him again after the date.  To the parents of elementary school age kids, I understand that some of you have some pretty independent minded kids but please make sure that your child or children are dressed properly before they leave the house for school.  There’s no reason for your child to come out of the house with one of those stocking cap that you only see their eyes with a dress on looking like a serial killer at recess. And parents remember coordination.  Don’t have the kid coming out in something wouldn’t even wear as a kid.  Got the kids out with an orange flower shirt with some bright red pants and blue socks, WHAT WAS THAT.  Put some matching outfits out for them and have them choose one of them to wear.  Help them out a little.  And last, when was it ever fashionable to come out of the house still wearing pajama pants and slippers?  That deserves a WHAT WAS THAT and a YOU NEED YOUR ASS BEAT!!!!  Only two things I can think of when you come out in pajama pants is one you really don’t care how you look that’s probably why you don’t have a boyfriend or girlfriend and two you probably didn’t wash your stinking ass before you left the house.  If your feet hurt that bad that you wear house slippers in public, maybe it’s time to go see a foot doctor.  That’s not a good look walking around the mall in some torn up house slippers with some ashy feet.  WAKE UP!!!!!

That actually felt good to let that out.  People need to wake up and realize if you want people to care about you, you need to care about yourself.  And parents if you have a good fashion sense make sure you kids do too.  They don’t need to copy you style.  Just make sure they coordinate there outfits.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until the next time, stay cool.
