Beware the sting of a killa b33... might be fatal to your ego 🐝
Name: J0$é A. L0r@
Birthdate: 12/30/1983
Location: Somewhere in the U.S. via Yonkers/N.Y.C. 🍎
Why they feelin' The Sting today:
What can I say about J0$é, my boo thang who never was "officially" my boo thang... 🤔
Well, we never formally dated, but he *is* one of my umpteen amount of BDs thanks to the genetic exploitation I experienced 🩸🧬
I'm not mad at him, though; our baby X@vi is the cutest & funniest--just like J0$é, lol.
We met in college, where J0$é's initial introductory line was to "insult" my natural hairdo at the time, saying that ish looked "nappy AF" #LOL
He had lengthy dreadlocks back then, lookin' like a light-skinned mixed-race person, so I *KNEW* he had to be joking (as he usually is).
But when I asked, in response, if he wanted to lose his life that day, J0$é immediately followed up by saying:
.
"...Just like my mama's hair" 🥰 #CrisisAverted

Not gonna lie, followers:
When I first met J0$é, I thought he was gonna be another one of the *MANY* self-hating mixed-race &/or typical Dominican male individuals that kinda proliferated on-campus... & beyond.
As it turns out, J0$é's proudly Afro-Dominican & absolutely refuses to deny his African roots ✊🏾✨
Growing up in N.Y.C., of all places, likely had a lot to do with that. It really is a melting pot of different cultures & ethnicities, as is my & J0$é's shared ancestral home of the Dominican Republic.
When I asked J0$é why he chose the small island of Bermuda for his study abroad program his senior year, he responded that he wanted to experience living on an island besides Manhattan 🥲
I wasn't mad at that answer, & even managed to pay J0$é a visit there before his program wrapped up 🏝
As close as we were during our time in college, for whatever reason(s) we just never "went there," officially, with one another.
As beautiful as his girlfriends were at the time, I was 1. Terrified of stepping on Edi!m@'s toes (she's known to have hands for days, y'all, though I later found out she's cool AF) & 2. Hesitant to move in on what I assumed to be my college homegirl B3tty's man.
As it turns out, Edi!m@ wasn't trippin' off J0$é's goofy self, & B3tty--being the Down A$$ Bish™ that she is--eventually wound up marrying J0$é & giving birth to our *joint* child, Baby X@vi 😅
.
...And just like that, I was folded into the mix of J0$é's own personal version of the Real B!tch H0e-lympics 🏆 #lmao
.
I'm glad to say I'm in good company, though; as goofy as he is, J0$é's got discerning tastes--in his food, his art, *AND* his women, haha.
In any case, I couldn't ask for a better dad to our baby X@vi--who, in addition to having J0$é's wacky sense of humor, also inherited his gigantic, bulging googly eyes* 👀 #LOL
Anyhoo. J0$é, n!99@:

#HBDwh0re!!! 🥳

*Those eyes of his almost got me & J0$é caught up when he had an event in D.C. one summer.
We went to a local gas station for some roll-ups & the Ethiopian gas station attendant asked me, "Why's he looking at me like that?"
I said, "Like what?" & ol' boy responded:
"With those... googly eyes???"
I LOL'd like a mug & said J0$é's eyes just look like that--always have--& had to have J0$é come over & explain his natural eye situation to the attendant ::snickers::
It's always an adventure with this one, #smh... 😆
