I'm pretty fly, for a white guy ...

I have a guilty secret .. At the age of almost 36 and therefore old enough to know better, I have to raise my hand and say "I quite like gangsta rap ..."

NWA, Tupac, Notorius B.I.G, I like them all. Don't ask me what it is I like about them, as I'm not sure. I like the production, but tend not to listen too much to the words (Which I think defeats the whole purpose of rap) as I'm a white, middle-classed, on the downtrail to 40 male, so find it hard to identify with Dr Dre and the like. There's not a lot of cop beatings, drug heists, or Humvee's rolling in the ghetto of Manningtree, so I'm unlikely to "pop a cap in yo'ass muddyfunster ..." And anyways, I can't find any of those baseball caps with the peaks at the side so am unable to perfect the gangsta look...

In other news ... I signed up for Twitter yesterday (The Facebook account has officially gone), but deleted it this morning, as I was dreaming about it last night! Something isn't right when you're dreaming about social network sites. Having said that, I couldn't see the point of it anyway but did still manage to waste an evening on it - it had to go otherwise I'd be on it all the time.

UPDATE:
Apparently 'Old Enough To Know Better' is copyrighted by Andy, so I've had to put a hyperlink to his blog otherwise he'll sue or something ...

Ah yes, replacing one drug (FB) with another (Twitter).

And you could at least have hyperlinked the name of my blog when you used it. Tut.

I'm cold-turkeying ...

One day at a time man, one day at a time.

Yeah, copyrighted so much I had to add 'oetkb' to the end of my blog name 'cos someone else had taken 'oldenoughtoknowbetter'...
