Top Shelf Mentality

What it look like good folk? Its ya boy Steez. Back givin you some more of these chronicles. I was gonna drop this joint yesterday....but it was Martin Loofah da KANG!!! birthday....so I figured I wasn't gonna do a damn thing. But here I am. So why don't we get to these here chronicles....shall we?!?!?!?!

Those of you that know me know that today marks 2 straight months of me not having any alcohol(Shut up Tis). In any event I was gonna blog about THAT...but why? Yall don't give a fuck. So in my usual square way, I decided to add a little flare to it. Now, in my time drinking, I tried to stick as close to the top shelf quality alcohol as I could(or as much as my pockets would allow me). Unfortunately, as evidenced in these very blogs, that same mentality didn't apply to the people that I dealt with. So here...I'm gonna give yall some different levels of personalities of people...and how you should or shouldn't deal with them...get ya pen..

1. Bottom Shelf. These are the fortified wine muhfuckas that you know....Mad Dog, Manischewitz, Sisco etc...Also your Joaquin vodka and Vladamir, and Bankers Club. These people are fuckin TOXIC. You should avoid them at all costs. Most times they will come around when you are at your lowest points. They seem like a good fuckin idea...just to have some fun..escape reality. Until you wake up on a sweat soaked mattress, with a pounding headache and a pair of glittery panties on your head wondering what the fuck you did last night. With a little luck the damage isn't permanent and you can move on. Bottom line, if you are this low, you need to find a hobby or take up a craft.

2. Mid grade. These are your Absolut, Seagrams, Captain Mo(for my white folk and all you black people that hung around too many white people in college), Jose Cuervo. These are your sturdy every day muhfuckas. They will always be there for you. They won't exactly ENHANCE your life...but they won't fuck it up either. Most people you know will fall into this category. They will be there when you lose your job and need an upper...or to help you celebrate winning the lottery. They will fight with you...and give you the shoulder to cry on. They are very easy to take...some of them are a little stronger than others and you may be only to take them in doses...or mixed with others. But They will never let you down. Just like you got that bottle of Abso tucked away...make sure you keep 2 or 3 muhfuckas like this in the tuck...

3. Top Shelf. These are your Grey Gooses(fuck you Diddy and Ciroc), Henny, Courvoisier, 1800. These people are EXCEPTIONAL. They are also very rare. Just being around them makes YOU feel better...look better..act better. These are the muhfuckas that let you know you look like a fuckin fool in those skinny jeans. Unfortunately, we usually abuse these people. Or just try to put them into other categories. But just like you take a fine cognac in a snifter...let it breathe..appreciate the smoky notes and vanilla bite. You have to truly savor these people in your life. These are the people you will grow old with. That appreciate you when nobody else does. Sometimes it will feel like you don't even deserve them. And you probably don't. But you have to roll with it anyway. Sit back and enjoy it.

I'm out....
