Have you ever wanted something for a long time? I mean got really excited about the possibility of getting something, and then you see the wrong person with it and you don't want it anymore?
Maybe it's just me, but that happened to me yesterday. I had my interview for a new job yesterday (which I got btw), and the guy who was interviewing me had a Blackberry Bold. I've been with AT&T for a couple of years now and I was so gassed up about this month because I'm eligible for an upgrade and I wanted to get the Bold. I've had a Curve for what seems like ages, and nobody could convince me otherwise about getting the Bold. If I had $300 in my pocket, I don't care if it was the Bold or food, I was getting the d@mn phone (ni@@erish I know, but we all have our vices). Anyways, I was turned off by the interviewer from the jump because the whole time he was asking me questions, he was checking emails on his crackberry. Lord knows I understand how it is hard to put that thing down when you get into e-beast mode, but I do my best not to disrespect anyone with my BB-gangsta. He keeps saying how sorry he is that he's got the d@mn phone to his face like a Gameboy (did I just say that?) while I'm talking all professional-like, and I of course, tell him not to worry because what else am I gonna say? Put down your phone and interview me like a real person (how to lose a job before you get it 101)? The whole time I'm talking to him and looking at the back of his Bold, I kept thinking to myself, "That phone ain't the bizness like that." I knew it wasn't about the phone it was about him. I found myself sizing up everything about him on some super hater-ish. "His shirt ain't all that. He sittin here poppin, but he can't be getting the money he say he gettin. He ain't no fly dude...whoopty whoop" The end result of our interview was me not wanting the Bold anymore and now I'm online looking at iPhones. Which I swore I would never buy until exactly one day ago. Ain't that some sh*t...

HATERS
Let's just talk about haters for a second. Haters are everywhere. They may be your friends. They may be your family. They come in many different sizes, shapes, and genders.
With that being said, let me get into what I, so creatively I might add, call "hater logic". Haters justify their existence by saying things like, "Hey, I'm just being honest" or "I'm saying this as a friend". They use this "hater logic" because to them, and to the untrained mind, it makes sense. Certainly there are some honest people who are wrongfully called haters. But to truly identify someone as a hater, one must take into account the amount of so called "honest opinions" a hater may offer. If you spend an evening with a hater, take a note of how many comments are being made with negative connotations or insinuations within them. A hater will give a preponderance of "honest opinions" that always seem to be demeaning or belittling to someone around them. It's a fine line between cracking a joke and disseminating your hate, so hater detectors beware.
The advanced hater will also use subtle phrases to "soften" the hate such as "This is just my opinion" and "No disrespect, but". These phrases are meant to help the hater bypass your personal "anti-hater comment" security checkpoint. But the professional hater detector understands that putting a glove on my hand doesn't mean I can't still knock yo mutha f#@kin a$$ out ya dig?
Note to those amateurs who want to use this information to graduate to professional levels of hater detection. Once a hater is discovered, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT tell a hater that he/she is a hater. Much like trying to tell a smartass they don't know everything or attempting to convince a sididdy chick she really ain't that fine, this line of conversation only leads to mindnumbing frustration, more hateration spewed, and possibly, if you don't recognize the game, a plethora of "strong talk"(for those without the ability to deduce the meaning of self explanatory ebonics, aggressive and loud speaking).
When a hater is recognized, pull out your pen and pad, add them to the list, silently congratulate yourself on gaining yet another (or your first) hater, and keep it pushin. Though it may be difficult, you must "Dr. King" your haters and treat them with love and respect. That is unless they put they hands on ya.
