I was dumped yesterday.
No, this is not a pity party post. No worries. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him © Bill Shakespeare. But we all have break-up music we file away for those awful special moments, and so for the moment TSS is my Quiet Storm request line. My dedication show.
I was twitterpated and allowed the molds of my perfect-man prototype to be restructured to fit. Seasoned to taste. It was no true surprise he walked away, and it was a relief to know why things felt so off the past week. A weight was lifted with the break, like pressure eased after an earthquake.
But that doesn’t make my ego any less torn. Or the dismay any less real.
And so, on the line we got LC from Michigan. She says “This shit right here goes out to DK; you’re still my friend and all, but fuck if I don’t kind of want to punch you square in the face. And you’re not an asshole, but I have to believe you’re kind of an idiot.”
Now let Brenda tell it. Ms. Holloway…

ive had a couple rough break ups and music has gotten me through some tough times.
*goes back to wormin*
I have said forever hip hop has saved my life. … mainly because of a few rough break ups. ..interesting how powerful music is in general.
*goes back to wormin*
===============
LMAO, it got cold it everybody just stopped goddamn wormin’ around this bitch.
Break-up tracks? Hmm…
“I’ve Been Loving You Too Long” – Otis
“If Loving You Is Wrong…” – Bobby Wo, popped up in iTunes today
“White Flag” – Dido, popped up in iTunes today
“Domestic Violence” – RZA, duh
I can name a few.

“hey dog thats Suga Free, lets kill him// nah man, stall him out, i broke up with my girl (man in your case) and now i feel him//”
“Second Coming” – Julez
i guess maybe it was cause it came out right after i was dumped, or maybe because of the hook.. whatever it was, this shit right here helped out.
Tracks about a strong lady -
Lady don’t tek no – Latyryx

Jazmine Sullivan – “Bust Your Windows”
Usher – “Let it Burn” got me through a rough one…btw, fuck that bitch
lulz @ sherm…..good point. Wish I would of thought of throwing it out first.
I always thought Juelz’s “Jealousy” was a pretty sharp track.
“Ether”- Nas
I imagine Petey worms EXACTLY like how dude does in that YouTube clip, shit cracks me up just thinkin’ about it.
yeah, fuck a break up. I’ve been through several my damn self. just shake that shit off and keep it movin’…for me, putting all that negative energy into the back & forth just wasn’t worth it.
Ghostface Killah – “Wilderflower”
LOL! Yall got some angry ass break-up joints… but nah, yeah… you’re right… fuck that bitch (c) sherm

That kid Eamon had that angry ass song: “Don’t want you back”…remember that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osNZxHOfHXg
^ LOL, that kid was mad jilted
Bummer, LC. Condolences.
Your last post introduced me to the concept of twitterpated and soon after I became twitterpated. Hopefully this post will not (re)introduce me to the concept of getting dumped.
P.S. I met Blu and made a complete jackass of myself. I was your typical awkward Stanish character that gave his camera to the only kid in the entire club that didn’t fucking know how to take a picture. And I had to leave to catch the metro before I saw Blu or Exile or Blu & Exile perform.
But this shouldn’t be a pity comment either though.
I don’t have any words of wisdom except keep your head up.
That song was perfect during one spell, that & Heather Headley “I Wish…”…it really depends on what you want to hear. You want hate or you want angry therapy lol?
Teddy Pendergrass “Don’t hurt now” is another oldie but goody
Thanks, GD… and fear not… keep rolling on that twitterpation and I promise I didn’t jinx you!
hahahaha that’s funny about Blu… he travels a lot, though… so I’m sure he’ll be back in your part of the country in no time. I also feel like most folks who meet him probably Stan him a bit… he’s just pretty fresh like that. Very humble too, though…

Sherm, you swagger-jackin’ my overpunctuation steez??? lol. Damn, how could one so foolish decimate the precious, sweet heart of my babygirl LC??? Still, you must pick up those shattered remnants and push forward because there is better love yet to be discovered.
ps: The ultimate track for this type of situation, “Because I Love You” by Lenny Williams. Too real for words.
“Thanks, GD… and fear not… keep rolling on that twitterpation and I promise I didn’t jinx you!”
I showed my girl that. She said, “Wait…is twitterpation a word?”
I replied, “If LC says it is, then yes.”
