Who said Racism aint dead

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081027/ap_on_el_pr/skinhead_plot
These people are crazy. But at the same time people like the fool(s) who killed Jennifer Hudson's family keep giving racist people the fuel to throw on their fire. Wake up Black People we have not completely made it yet. We still have work to do. Let's show the world we are civilized. We can run this country just as well as anybody else. we can be productive citizens like everyone else, don't give the skinheads in this article a reason to go after our president and other innocent black people.

The Beginning(the real facts)

Let me put my two cents in on this matter mostly everything Clay said was true but there are a few facts that need to be corrected. Me and Daavid first met in Kindergarten( 85 hoe). I actually met Justing in Middle school playing little league Baseball. He was good but I was better, I was probably the best shortstop in Chattanooga real talk. Now let m address this middle school basketball situation. WE SUCKED!!!!!!!!! 7th grade we played 2 damn games, what is thaat Coach Pate? We lost to City something like 65-5 and Tyner beat us something like 72-10 but here is the beauty in that, We eliminated City and tyner from the region tournament in 12th grade to make it to the sub-state. lol Karma is a bytch.
also concerning community service class I actually started out going to the discovery center and had to ride with Carey Osborne. But I did join in on the hospital community service, eating chicken fingers and kicking it at Bev's house while everyone else was in class, (hi haters).
just wanted to clear all of that up, come back for the excursions to Courtney's house on the weekend. shop!!!!
The Fam(Coach O)

Clay's new nickname is Tarzan

Think about it...Tarzan.

What is Tarzan?

He is the king of the jungle!

And Clay is the King of Jungle Fever!

No seriously...the Duke, the Prince, the Big Honcho, THE KING.

The man had a poster of Elvis on his wall in high school....THE KING.

Note: I asked him to take it down for obvious reasons...I'm Black and a lot of Black people hate Elvis...keeping it funky.

Back to Tarzan.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, because there will be multiple Tarzen posts.

It all started when we were in middle school.

The hottest (and craziest) girl was CJ, a half black, half white girl that everyone thought was the best thing since sliced bread.

Who pulled her?

Clay...the tube sock, shorts in December wearing kid with the big glasses.

I remember hearing the news and damn near giving him a round of applause!

Okay, so what CJ is now a busted stripper in Atlanta with bullet wombs and a massive amount of ghetto tattooes...

The point is, Tarzan was born.

And from that point on...he has always, always, always liked pepper to go with his salt.

-FAM (Stuckey)

The Beginning ( well sort of )

This is Clay checking in on the FAM Blog....I think its a great idea, in part because alot of people really hate on the relationship that the 5 of us have together......Its quite often that I hear "man i wish i had friends like this in high school, that i still keep up with" So lets go back to say.....1998

So the ground work of the Fam had been built over many years ago...John and myself went to kindergarten together, stuck, omar and justin had all known each other forever ( im sure they will chime in with the exact dates like they normally do) Myself, john, omar and stuck came to CSAS in third grade and justin joined us in 8th i think.

Back then everyone knew everyone at CSAS so we were all friends, me, david and omar played middle school basketball together, and we use to get drilled all the time...jonathan hise the other token white guy on the basketball team shot the ball OVER the backboard against City middle and I still remember getting hit in the face with the ball in that game, and of course i was rocking the glasses back then..lol...

But in 1998 something special really took place by mistake? Possibly? Maybe not though...I remember sitting in Mrs. Monroes office which was right by the stairwell on the third floor right across from Ms. Phelps room. It was me, david, justin, omar and john as well as kevin....We were all sitting in there because we didnt have anywhere todo community service at...Well I had a car so i think they all looked at me as the way out lol.....So it began, all of use piled into the 4Runner ( such a bad ass SUV, drop the back window on them and all ) and we headed to the Henry Branch YMCA, until we got kicked out of there and sent to the downtown YMCA.....I remember cleaning off the windows up in their main offices and it was the worst thing ive been apart of until me and stuck worked at the marina together ( more on that in a later blog ), then the next semester we went to work at Memorial Hospital......

During these times we laughed, got mad at each other and learned about each other....I was turned onto Biggie, Outkast, Goodie Mobb and i turned them onto classics like Stairway to Heaven and FreeBird lol

There are so many stories from that year, and hopefully everyone will contribute to this blog so I can have a place to come and laugh....This is just a start, more will come...It truely is a special friendship that we all have............

Introducing The FAM

Well...it's not complicated.
There's 5 of us.
All very different people.
Best friends. Road dogs. Home skillets. Groomsmen. Golf buddies (future). Teammates.
Etc. Etc.Etc.
Why a blog?
Because us being friends is one of those things in the universe that should be chronicled.
There was the time we videotaped an entire summer of debauchery (which must never fall into the wrong hands).
There was the time two of us worked at a marina and almost died every single day.
And, well, honestly...there's John.
Here's the introduction:

JRock (Justin) - Married, I think that's important. About 6'5", smooth. Lives in Charlotte with his wife and dog, doing the whole white fence thing, minus the 2.5 kids. They have the dog though. He's a car salesman...."I slang them thangs like dope." Yeah, he's one of a kind.

ODog (Omar) - Recently engaged. He teaches high school English and is a basketball and football coach in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Goal is to be the baddest coach in the country. I met Omar in 1985, in kindergarten. Interesting factoid about Omar - he's never cheated on a girlfriend....ever.

C-Lay (Clay) - White. I mention this only because he's the only guy among us that's not black. And I mention it also because Clay doesn't act black...he's very white. VERY. But things like that don't matter to us anyway. Clay works for himself, just started a blog, coaches girls high school basketball and the most challenging thing is he lives with ...

Hugh (John) - Divorced. Me and Justin were seriously thinking about beating her ass down...but that's another blog. John works at a book store, but I don't think he reads a whole lot. He's also a recent gamer...personally I think that has to do with the divorce, but I am sure he will clear that up in future blogs.

Me (David) - I think I'm the older brother of the crew, but the rest of my pals may disagree. I live in D.C. and I'm trying to finish a novel. Hard sh*t. I'm single and am totally not emotionally stable enough to date any of the great women I've met in life that would give me the time of day. Just being honest...

...so there you have it. The FAM. What's next for us? Everyday there's something different and we will all chronicle our lives individually and as one. I may be traveling to Madrid soon, Clay has another business sprouting, J-Rock is trying to get his own dealership, John is trying to get back into the dating game and Omar has a wedding to plan....oh, not to mention we throw a damn good Xmas party and plan to take a road trip from Tennessee to Aspen to Vegas to Los Angeles.

Yep...come along for the ride.
