I am related to Yoda!!

When I was in the 5th grade, I had my first real girl friend. Her name was Yana Mclloyd Brown. She was a sexy, lanky, thick, chocolate thing with an extra last name. What more could I have asked for? I got word from my good friend Fred Carroll, that she liked me. He had the inside scoop because he’d dated her the week prior. Being the smooth operator that I am, one fall afternoon, I walked past her desk swiftly, and threw my phone number in her penny loafer as she was getting prepared to leave for the day. We dated for a week or so before she made the horrible mistake of calling my house after 10 pm when my mom was in one of her moods. Our romance lasted long enough to exchange Christmas gifts. I had no idea what to get her. I did what we all do when we don’t have an answer to a question: I asked my grandmother. She told me to get the young lady a pair of gloves. I shouted, “I am in love and she may get me something more expensive.” My grandmother put her hand on my shoulder and calmly said, “ Return in something get you hoping something do never.”

I grabbed my light saber and went to the store for the cheapest pair of gloves that I could find.

This leads me to my favorite former MTV Video DJ, Tom Green, who spit a pretty impressive rhyme on his show for the sake of impressing his guest Xzibit.
