Oooh, yall quick! But LOL @ the basic nature of the question LMAO! Yall goin easy on me for the first couple times huh? LOL All good, I can dig it. Lets get into it...
Dear Doc,
Im pretty sure my friend's boyfriend is cheating on her, but I dont know if I should tell her. What do you think?
-IDK
Dear IDK,
This is a tough one for me to answer because there are so many factors to each situation that might change my position. You didnt really give any specifics, so here's my general response: if you are going to tell her, you better have irrefutable proof. Not just for her benefit, but for yours. Its important that you, yourself, are sure because the guy is likely to deny it. Hopefully your friendship is strong enough that she wont question your motives and realizes you are only looking out for her.
Dig
That being said, I feel like I need to qualify my answer LOL. Generally speaking, I believe that things done in the dark, always come to the light - eventually. In most cases - especially if you cant prove the allegation - I think it best to not say anything and just let (or help LOL) the friend find out for themselves. But if you just feel compelled to dish, there are a few things you need to consider:
1. Are you relatively confident that your friend would leave her cheating man? If you dont think she will, stay out of it. Its just a whole heap of headache, waiting to happen.
2. What do you mean when you say "cheating?" Is he just an all out manwhore, pushing up on every Sue, Pam and Sally who'll let him, or is he seeing another woman in particular? It matters because if he's a manwhore, she probably already knows, or at least suspects, and telling her wont change anything.
3. Are you good friends? Dont meddle in the business of simple associates. You have no skin in the game and drama is bound to ensue. A good friend will likely not only believe you, but not allow the guy to drive a wedge between you.
4. Does he know you know? This is one of the only scenarios where I say tell her and tell her FAST. If you allow him time to think up an explanation, or worse yet, a way to turn it around on you, all hell is going to break loose. The best situation to be up against is one where the two of you are racing to her front door, trying to get to her first. He'll always look like an idiot LOL.
5. Its important that you be willing to accept the results (or lack thereof) of your revelation. Once you break the news (and hopefully gently LOL) back off. Allow her to react and dont try to drive her decision with your own feelings about the situation. If your girl decides to stay, you have to be willing to swallow that because it is her life and you cant want more for somebody than they want for themselves. You will have to let it go. Continuing to harp on it will only strain your friendship.
I think its important that you know your friends. Dont yall have girls nights? Dont yall.... TALK? LOL Has this conversation never come up before? ASK your friends if they would want to know. Surprisingly enough, not everyone does. Do you?
Note to MY friends: Fuck that. Tell me.

So Sensitive
Oooooooh! I cant STAND no sensitive ass dude! I swear I cant.
WTF is wrong with you? You are not my man. We aint even dating. We have only even been in communication for like a week and some change, but all that is besides the point.
If you’re suggesting we hang out tonight, am I not entitled to ask you to either commit to that plan or risk me having other plans? You can keep your “maybe” a maybe. Im not forcing you in one direction or another. Im simply saying that if it’s a “maybe” for you, its also a “maybe” for me and you might call me later and find that I have chosen to do something else with somebody who was SURE they wanted to spend that time with me and didn’t need a few hours to think about it LOL. No tea, no shade, just the risk you run when you are arrogant enough to believe some chick sits at home, twiddling her thumbs, waiting for her phone to ring with your name on the display. FUCK YOU. How bout that? LOL
This dude had the nerve to say "well last Friday you said just call and it was cool, so why you in such a rush to get a decision today?"
*staring into the camera*
Because that was LAST Friday. Just because I was home doing nothing last week dont mean Ima be home doing nothing this week and Im TELLING you right now that I have other options, and giving you the opportunity to get first dibs, so if you forfeit that, its on you. Dude caught feelings cause his head automatically went to me making plans with another dude. Well.... that isnt necessarily gonna be the case, however that is a possibility. But WTF do you care? My girls, some dude - either way, if I got other plans, they aint gon be with you LOL. He pouted like a little bitch. Arrogant ass dudes that pout are the worst. What did you think would happen? Was I supposed to sit home and wait for you to make up your mind and be mad when you didnt call? Not in this lifetime. I only do shit like that when I really dont care one way or the other if I stay home and do nothing - a la last Friday. When I already know thats not the case, you might just become a casualty of my dance card.
See.... LOL This is exactly why.... *smh*
*sigh*

Shine On: Chevy
LMAO! So this is something my homey "Chevy G Hustle" wrote like three or four years ago for our old "watering hole". Me (affectionately referred to as "Number 9" around the way LOL) and the cronies were laughing, reminiscing about it today, so (after obtaining clearance, of course LOL) I decided to share. Whether you agree or disagree, the shit is still hysterical LOL.

I Got an Email Today
My FB status:
"Ive always said 'if youre over 30 and cant get past some shit with somebody that happened way back when you were 17, you need to grow the fuck up.' Then I got an email from my father...."
#ineedadrink
My father aka the turkey baster.....[I wanna LOL here, but I find it difficult at the moment...] Far as Im concerned, thats all he ever did - help give me life. All accounts would indicate he's been AWOL since I was about 2yrs old. Never got the whole story on the incident that made my mama finally tell him to kick rocks, but I do know he kicked every last one of em and kept on kicking for the next eleven years. That's when his father died and his sister brought me around for the funeral, after having sought me out the year before to introduce me to the family I never knew. I met my grandfather once, he gave me twenty dollars, and then he died. Day of the funeral, turkey baster approaches me: "Do you know who I am?" I reply, "Yes." His clip is empty so he simply walks away. But I got an email today.
Funerals are uncomfortable enough without people whispering about you. They're even worse when the woman who was married to your father when he impregnated your mother doesnt even pretend not to hate you. If looks could kill, I'd be a ghostwriter for real. But whats this - an email?
At least he called sometimes after that. Not often or regularly, but sometimes - at least until I was about seventeen. Havent seen or heard from him since. But then I got this email today.
Fast forward five years later. My sister (his daughter) got sick with TB. I went to visit her in the hospital, having built a relationship with her since the first visits, but she didnt want me to see her in the way she was. It hurt, but I respected her wishes and left. A few hours later, just before flying back upstate, I sat in my aunt's kitchen while she spoke to the turkey baster on the phone, 3 feet away. She tried to get him to talk to me, mentioning my sadness at what had happened, but he wouldnt. You know what he said? "I dont wanna make her miss her flight." Oh..... thanks. How considerate of you. And today I get an email.
Adding insult to injury, my sister died a month later. I couldnt go to the funeral because the woman that was married to my father when he impregnated my mother wouldnt have it. With not even an attempt on his part to talk some sense into her - by all accounts - they put her in the ground without me. I had to make my own peace and none of it made any sense. Since then, not a phone call, not a letter, not a smoke signal, not a carrier pigeon, not a message passed, not anything. Then I get an email today.
My other sister from him and some of my cousins and I reunited via FB last year. Over the summer, I missed a family cookout being held an hour away from the hotel I was in that day in Manhattan. No word about it until the last minute, but honestly I probably wouldnt have gone anyway. Got home to find a picture sent to me by one of my cousins - my aunt, my uncle and the turkey baster. I looked at the picture and saw a lot of things, but my "father" wasnt one of them. But hey, Ive got mail!
A month or two ago, I reconnected with another cousin, who told me he now lives in Detroit, near her. "Wonderful," I say, not caring IF he lived, let alone WHERE. She said she talks to him all the time and had been trying to get him to reach out to me. For what? If he needs to be convinced, I'm not interested. She went to bat for him - he's afraid, he doesnt know what to say, and all the other things that were supposed to soften me up. I couldnt even pretend to care - like father like daughter. She told me she gave him my email address, which I can only assume was because a phone call might be too much like.... adult. So today, I got this email.
And you know, I started to think, in talking to her, maybe I ought to confront the issues if he's willing to man up about them. Maybe it will cause me to feel something - SOMETHING. Some resentment, some anger, SOMETHING. All these years, I havent. All these years, in my heart, he simply didnt exist. I opened up to the possibility of finally putting to rest all the things that brought me to this point with him - getting to ask the questions, even though I know I wont like most of the answers. But then I got this email. You know what it said?
"Havent heard from you in a while."
Havent heard from you in a while. Thats it. Open heart surgery, a car accident, a college graduation, a sister's death, two kids, and seventeen years, and thats all I got. I stared at the screen for a while, like more words were gonna appear any second. But thats all I got.
Thats all I got.

Holla at Ya Girl
Ok so I guess I gotta give advice LOL. At least, thats the request I received from a friend of mine, who misses reading about the people I tend to know whose lives are real-life Maury shows LOL. Dont get it twisted, "Staring Into The Camera" is not turning into an advice column, by any means, however, I guess that is a big part of why random people know me, so I've gotta occasionally appease those thirsty for other people's drama LOL. Got an issue? Want an opinion? Holla at ya girl.
doctordig9@gmail.com
Now... I need help too.
I keep having this same damn dream and its starting to annoy the fuck outta me. Let me back up - its not the same dream, its the same ending of a dream. I will dream about whatever the hell I dream about and then at the end, I always find myself in some big building that looks like a lobby to a bank or office building or something. As Im about to leave, me and whoever Im with realize its 4 or 5 o'clock (cant remember which) and that we are on a street called McArthur or McCarthy (again, cant remember) Park, and on this street, at the same time every day, there is a shootout. We make a run for it and I always end up getting separated from the person/people Im with. On at least two occasions, they wound up shot. Dont know if they died, I kept going. I remember once having one or both of my kids with me and I literally carried them with me. The weirdest part about the whole sequence is that I never finish it. I always wake up in the midst of running and hiding behind columns and dumpsters, trying to get home - or at least outta there LOL. And Im not sure but I think Im always with someone different too.
I have this little bullshit link I go to sometimes when I have a weird dream, and it usually helps me understand it by breaking down the elements of it. It was of absolutely no help today LOL. So Im wondering if anybody out there has any ideas or suggestions about where I should look. Email me if ya do.
Little stuff I've started to put together that may or may not be relevant:
My boss's last name is McCarthy and I (technically) get off work at 5:00.
MacArthur Park is the place on a Philly episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, that was supposed to be dangerous. IDK why that would be relevant, Im just sayin LOL.
Me carrying one of the midgets with me - that's pretty obvious, I think.
Never getting where Im going - that could be literal (Im a procrastinator LOL) - but then again, I just might not be ready to finish the dream yet. I might have to force a finish in order for it to stop. I think I heard that about recurring dreams.
The shootout .... well.... the dream site said when Im being shot at, I feel under fire or some confrontation in my waking life - that I feel I am being victimized in a certain situation. That could be true, of late, with my mama. Did I mention how every time she falls out with somebody, she tells everyone she can possibly tell, trying to get people on her side? Yeah, one of those. Lets say I was a little less than thrilled to have my sister hitting me up from outta state asking me about some shit that only exists in my mother's mind. Damn, how long have I been dreaming this sequence? Its probably been a week, give or take. Hmmmmm......

Never getting where Im going - that could be literal (Im a procrastinator LOL) - but then again, I just might not be ready to finish the dream yet. I might have to force a finish in order for it to stop. I think I heard that about recurring dreams.
The shootout .... well.... the dream site said when Im being shot at, I feel under fire or some confrontation in my waking life - that I feel I am being victimized in a certain situation. That could be true, of late, with my mama. Did I mention how every time she falls out with somebody, she tells everyone she can possibly tell, trying to get people on her side? Yeah, one of those. Lets say I was a little less than thrilled to have my sister hitting me up from outta state asking me about some shit that only exists in my mother's mind. Damn, how long have I been dreaming this sequence? Its probably been a week, give or take. Hmmmmm......

This Bitch...
My bad yall, I been meaning to come in here all day, but every time I got ready to, this bitch at work was sending me an email. I cant even remember WTF I was originally gonna come talk about.
Scenario:
Bitch use to be my admin. The department restructured and now she's not, however, my account contacts arent all aware of this change yet, so they will occasionally still call or email her to do things for them. At this point, she's got two choices: either help em, or redirect them to me. Bitch decides she aint helping nobody. Fine. Just redirect em. Simple enough, right?
So this broad gets an email from one of my customers on Friday. FRIDAY. She replies to their email and copies me AND MY BOSS in, saying she doesnt handle my accounts anymore, and to contact me directly. Fine. "Yeah I'll call him." I called the guy and got his voicemail, but I didnt leave a message, because I intended to just try him back. As my days sometimes have it, it got busy and I didnt get a chance to call again.
This morning, another email, this time TO the customer, again copying in my boss. "Im sorry she did not call you....." (etc, etc) Bitch, what?
Me: "I called him, but didnt get him. I'll try him again after I get off this conference call.
Do you know this bitch emailed me again an hour later, AGAIN copying in my boss: "Did you call the customer yet? I just want to make sure I can close out this issue on my end." Close out WHAT issue on your end? You dont have an end LOL. You were never helping him, you were just handing it off to me. I didnt even reply to her shit, because by that point, there was nearly no way that I was gonna be able to keep it professional.
One, you sent me the initial email on FRIDAY AFTERNOON. Not only was it FRIDAY AFTERNOON, it was the last day of the month, which you know like I know is ALWAYS a madhouse. He lucky I even got a chance to call him initially, the fact that I couldnt get back to him again should be nobody's surprise. Two, are you really emailing me again at 9am on Monday morning? Bitch, we dont work weekends, which means, essentially, it has not even been 24 hours. Three, if you gonna hand some shit off to me, HAND IT OFF. Dont keep emailing me, asking me bout some shit, cause like you keep reminding me, you dont handle my accounts anymore. Go file your damn nails and mind your fuckin business. And stop copying my boss like him being on the email is gonna change my actions. I will get to it when I fucken get to it - he is not my only customer. "Oh I just copied him in because if you were unable to get to the customer, he might have asked another person to call him."
*staring into the camera*
Its MY customer. Why in the fuck would he ask somebody else to call him? Dont be fucken stupid all your life, ok? And stop talking to me like IM stupid. You know good and damn well thats not why you copied him in. Dont piss on my leg and tell me its raining, how bout that?
Fucken ass. Ugh!
