something 'bout my back stroke

Point of order: Just found out I have a chapter in a new book called Black Sexualities: Probing Powers, Passions, Practices, and Policies" (NYU press). My chapter is on sexual health among inmate populations and I have been asked to write a chapter on Substance Abuse for the 3rd Edition of Health Issues in the Black Community with my Folk Dr. Carl Hart of Columbia University.

2] Jamming Bon Jovi – Dead or alive and just finished listening to Thin Lizzy – The Boys are Back in Town (them white boys used to rock afros).

3] Folk loving these Icelandic Fish skin chews for dogs and cant wait on my dog food made of Ostrich to get in. And Rollingout did a piece on my store.

Manes, Jones here have some of the darndest things happen to him. I think that is one reason I like the short store as my favorite form of prose (the ordinary language people use) because I can just change a name of two and bam – fiction. Sometimes these occur in life events and as in the case of last night, via phone call. Starting with me answering:


Jones: Yes

Lil Momma: Hello Torrance

Jones: May I ask who is calling?

Lil Momma: XXXX

Jones: XXXX, and how have u been maam?

Lil Momma: Ok, I’m in your city, at the airport.

Jones: Yea, sup with that Jones?

Lil Momma: Layover missed my connection, delays due to Hurricane they say.

Jones: I can see that, I mean gas went up 65 cents in half a day may as well make you late too. Long time no hear, what gives? And you still got my number

Lil Momma: I know, I never really forgot about you…

Jones: Str8

Lil Momma: Do you have mine?

Jones: Nope would have but last woman broke my phone when I tried to film her burning down my house and saying she was gone kill me and my son.

Lil Momma: You silly.

Jones: For real Jones – slim was Twilight Zone jones. Butarah, you know do tell.

Lil Momma: Well you are not easy to forget. Something about your backstroke.

Jones: [Laughing] u aint never see me swim.

Lil Momma: Boy you know what I mean, I remember you beating me comatose, and you know what u toting. Can you come and get me?

Jones: [Laughing} A city girl using tote, country-esque. I would but last minute and I’m in the bed Jones, without the Kids. I’m lounging.

Lil Momma: Well, can you come and have a few drinks with me, my treat.

Jones: I wish babe. Wish I had known before I got naked. Just got out shower and air drying under the fan.

Lil Momma: Ok, call sometimes, I really missed you, and you wrong for the visual.

I will spare you the mundane nuances of the entire discussion. But she did make me smile, and made me remember some things that I should have already immortalized in fiction. I guess I believed she missed me, but back in the day, it was like I was the flail of God (where did I get that from – LOL). Not that I aint wanna bone, and I do have a sever penchant for free liquor, for my favorite liquor is free, as well, my favorite beers are cold and free. But I just aint the one for moon walking, you know, she had me and let folk go, so I leave that type of dance to Michael Jackson and Usher.

But what struck me was the reference to my back stroke. It was if she remembered me, but remembered how I almost beat lil momma twat into a coma. I know I told her that back then, but she even remembered. I aint never remembered no kitty like that and cant recall any one specific one out the, well we wont give no number. I mean is it really possible to recall of such, to keep such vivid in ones mind over the years. I remember parties, or fights, or football games, but not twat. I do remember her red toenail polish and how it stained the flat white paint above my headboard of my bed, and how she squirmed when I torqued my hips to the left, and how her eyes reminded me of a person having an epileptic seizure when ever I bent myself inside of her. I even remember the shutters, or me having to release one of my hands from her ankle to cover her mouth as to not wake my roommates, who said the next morning I was throwing down. I don't know should I have believed her? is it possible to remember a man by they way he messaged your back from inside your body with slow long strokes?

It was just weird; she remembered the back stroke when I recalled the elements of a fine fictional piece. I was happy and told her such in honor, for when she said it was “something about my back stroke”, I said, that’s a song.

Back to politics and economics, and history Monday. Thanks Tera, I won Blog of the day

Whew...the last thing I needed to read before hitting the sack. Had my back arching just reading. I probably should have thought on that title a little bit before getting off into the piece.

Anonymous said...

Damn if some of your writing doesn't get a gal thinking about dating again! Tried some funky blue nail polish today, though. ;)

Now you KNOW all that was missing was you photoshopping your face on the magazine cover with the swimmer doing the backstroke!

As for your query about my Chargers (a couple blogs back), let's just say that after that miserably painful loss on the last freakin' play last Sunday, I'm unfortunately feeling like my boys are back to their usual "can't seal the deal" ways of playing. Would be lovely if that changed today. We'll see. And what are you thinking about your boys this year? Have a great Sunday!

Man that can definetly be a moment etched into your memory especially when it's done right.

Definetly would like to hear the whole story of how ole gurl burned down the house and broke the phone.

Sister Girl said...

Wow...you must have laid something on her mind that remained like Windsong(LOL).

Lena said...

You know you are so wrong for playing with that woman's emotions like that with those visual...I love how the things you remembered where the things you did to her but not theo ther way around, makes it sound like her pussy was whack.

IntrospectiveGoddess said...

LMAO@LENA "Makes it sound like her pussy was whack"

Thats exactly what I was thinking....so could that have been the reason you decided not to take lil momma up on her offer?

One can only hope someone remembers your prowess years after the fact....

The visuals...just brings it on home for me....

All-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalo said...

4GOTTEN1
tru dat

Sister Girl
i guess lol

Lena
i wasnt playing with her, she remembered the physical and I the esoteric. i get off by getting my partner off that does it for me, not the twat itself, i could jack off to cum. Its the experience, like a good story

IntrospectiveGoddess not that, jst that i remember the event and not the anatonmy. its kind of a spiritual exchange

Lina said...

I don't think it was just your backstroke, but women remember all sorts of things...or maybe it just could be me...

Glad to hear the store is doing good...got to stop by

NoRegrets said...

First, congrats on the publication.

second, she was jonesin' for jones...

Miz Cheekz said...

wow

OG, The Original Glamazon said...

I thought it was tighten up on your backstroke and judging from the phone call she didn't need you to do that! My friend once told me not to dismiss another friend cause she was gonna tighten up on her backstroke….so that phrase means so many different things! *lol*

Big ups on your chapters!! I am sure they will be exactly what the people need to read and know.
