Pissed Off Pontification – 21st Century “Suckery”

Welcome to a new part of the blog, it’ll be a summer staple.  Thanks to the Coach I can’t use, “What Grinds My Gears,” so how about one a bit more…specific to me?  Pissed Off Pontification!  1000 words or less on what issue rubs me the wrong way.  Will these all be important issues?  Probably not, but will that deter me from getting this stuff off of my chest?  Of course not.  Today’s issue (as given to me by a cousin of mine): People who don’t give head in the 21st Century.

I have written twice on this blog about oral sex, but both times it’s been with the assumption that folks are giving head.  It’s tough for me to figure out the people who don’t, though – especially the sexually active folks.  If you’re not doing anything, then fine.  But the people who are getting it in and proclaim they refuse to give head boggle the mind.  I’ve been hearing about non-headgivers since Chris Rock’s Bigger And Blacker where he referred to women who don’t give head as outdated like a Betamax.  “They still make you?!”

I know one person who has a problem with giving head because of how the rap music makes it seem so degrading.  I told her there’s no positive way to describe getting head.  Try your hardest to think about the last time you got head and find a loving, positive way to describe somebody sucking and licking and all.  It just doesn’t work out to me.

So why don’t people give head nowadays?  They don’t like doing it seems to be the most common answer.  But the ones who don’t like doing it sure do love having it done to them.  If you can’t dish it, you shouldn’t take it.  Or something like that.

Plain and simple, I consider it a form of “fuckery” when I hear, “No, I can’t stand to give head.  It’s so nasty/gross/insert unbecoming adjective here and I don’t want to have anybody’s cum near me” and blah blah blah.  By the way, this comes on both sides of the aisle – I’m not just talking about women, there are plenty of men out here who swear they don’t eat out and never will.  These are always the same people who LOVE getting head and can’t wait for more.  Those are the selfish head-receivers I was talking about, and they need to wake up and smell the roses – it doesn’t matter what century it is now, but if you don’t give head, your partner will find someone else to.  It’s not like it’s raw sewage (unless you’re eating ass.  That’s a beast unto itself and I’m not touching it with a 5 foot pole), it’s a penis and a vagina.  A dick and a pussy.  Whatever you call them, the people who use them for fucking and scoff at even giving head are damn ridiculous if you ask me.  Fuckery having to do with a lack of sucking?  We’ll call it “Suckery,” and if you run across these sucker ass people, ask them why they don’t give head.  Seriously, ask them.  Come back here and tell me what they say or tell me @mrphilosopher3 because I have a feeling most people won’t have many good reasons.

Graduation Revisited

This blog started in April of 2009, so this has gone for two years now.  Progress has been slow as molasses as of late due to a long final semester.  One of my earlier posts was about my graduation from Morehouse and what that event signified.  Two years later, I’ve graduated again and this one comes with a different significance.  With Morehouse, it was time to go.  With this degree, I’ve been ready to go.  It’s hard to explain just how happy I currently am to be finished and to have an open future.  For the record, I was offered to continue into the PhD program in philosophy and I chose to defer that offer for a year.  Why would I do that, you might ask.

Because I was ready to get the hell out of there.

There are plenty of reasons why, but ultimately I saw too much dumb shit and for the first time, I stopped caring in general with my education.  I could care less about the profession and plenty of the bullshit hurdles that come with what is what I feared – the same people talking to each other about the same things.  I enjoy the discipline of philosophy for both its theoretical exercises and its practical effects.  The higher you go, it appears there’s a greater emphasis on the former, and while I appreciate its value in some regards, if it doesn’t “do” anything, it’s just a theoretical exercise.

Graduation meant a close of a lifelong chapter.  My yearly schedule has always been based off of the school calendar, and when August rolls around, I’m usually in back to school mode.  This will be the first year that doesn’t happen (barring me teaching), and that’s a good thing.  It’s time for a change.  Quite frankly, it’s a change I’ve earned.  In a year, if I want to come back and finish then I can.  If I don’t want to finish, I can keep doing whatever I’m doing or go do something else.  There’s a freedom that I can’t recall experiencing right now that is gratifying.

Also amazing, as I think about it, is that my progress from just having gotten my B.A. to now having gotten my M.A. can be tracked on this very blog.  The changes in my writing, my tone, my focus, even my approach are evident to me, and that’s a nice unintended consequence of this blog.

Finally, like I said above, progress here has been slow.  Not any more.  Did you think I didn’t have anything to say about Osama’s death, my recent experiences watching Fox News, IGNANT Fridays, and the long awaited return of the Chronicles of the Black Pack?  Or how about what Mardi Gras and Wrestlemania have in common?  I’m even going to post about my theories on teaching and what makes a good teacher just that, a good one.  More shorter posts, more fun again, and hopefully more comments are in the future.
