I.S. Presents: Interviews of ...U Mad? Kind

Before Incredulous Scribes, we were (and still are) a lil' group of people, from all walks of life, who would get together on our Blackberry's and have discussions about many things. Whether it is current events, relationships, or whatever that is going on in your community you would like to change for the better. We had many interesting people come and go in "…U Mad?" group, but we had one in particular whose story we felt should be told. 

He goes by many names; I call him "The Sagacious One," always looking for the key to life with his knowledge and insight. He's one of the few people who I can acquire some knowledge from. After reading this you should have a feeling of relief there are people trying to change where the live. As well as give the youth something, and someone, to look up too. 

So sit back in your office chair, park bench, couch or wherever. Grab you a chew stick, Egyptian Musk oils, and a Kama Sutra, because you going to need it after this. 

So we at I.S. present to you, The 5th Jewel.

*This interview was done in the winter because if it was snowing in the summer, George Bush would have finally revealed he's the devil.*


Interview by Snugg McNugg


Snugg McNugg: So, there's damn near another blizzard outside, they've shut down the highway. I've got the fireplace roaring, a drink in my right hand and---a drink in my left hand. There's nothing I'd want more, at this very moment, than to..... 
...Find out everything there is to know about your world. 
Well, that and a third hand to hold another drink, but we'll settle for your info right now: Name, age, location, relationship status, height? (Length and width too if you really wanna get the party started) and whatever.

5TH JEW-EL: Jefrey R. [from] South Carolina.  Single and socializing with [a] plan to take over the world as long as there is air in my lungs.    
Typical life of a kid with 2 parents who are psych majors. So my main interests are History, Philosophy, Egyptology, Theology and a few other things. 
Length? I always prefer to show lol.

Snugg McNugg: And I prefer to see, but, let's stay on track (For the moment).

5TH JEW-EL: I've studied Islam, Hinduism, Taoism, and Zen Transcendental Meditation. I came in to the Nation of gods an Earths in‘97.                                                                                                   

Growing up I used to be called "white boy" because of the way I talked. We stayed in a house and a lot of others didn't. Both my parents were teachers. People thought I had it easy, I didn't. Oh, I paid my way through school.  I have an associate’s degree in computer networking but want to go back and teach philosophy in school or history. 
I’m also working on a non-profit educational center for inner-city youths with some of the gods in the upstate. Working with my pops to get it going. 
Snugg McNugg: You know people always worried about the greener grass on the other side, you don't worry about that.

5TH JEW-EL: I fought for a long time to find my place in society. I have met so many people through The Boys and Girls Club: Walter Payton, Ted Turner, Mike Singletary, Dan Marino, Hershel Walker, and Norman Swartzkoff. I've also met a lot of politicians at dinners they [would] host for excelled youth as well.  I won a full ride to Morris Brown in ATL. However, we had a fire and I had to move my senior year and lost my scholarship.

Snugg McNugg: it seems like you've done well for yourself regardless.

5TH JEW-EL: *nods head as the L keeps burning* What else would you like to inquire about?

Snugg McNugg: I'm a little late to the scene, but as I recall your previous moniker was '7th Sign', and your newest is '5TH JEW-EL'- what is the significance in those names and how did you choose them?

5TH JEW-EL: Well my favorite book in the Bible is Revelations, and Revelations is an awakening. It was 7 Horns on afterward. "The last will be first, first will be last." My attribute amongst my god body brothers is "justice" which is the 5th Jewel in the supreme mathematics in my degrees. When I came into knowledge of self it was refreshing because it brought serenity to me and peace.

Snugg McNugg: Besides engaging in the books, what else do you do for peace and solace?

5TH JEW-EL: I'm a dumb hip-hop head/backpacker and freestyler. I love all kinds of music but classical music is the most mentally stimulating.

                                                       
Snugg McNugg: Oh really? Who's your favorite composer?


5TH JEW-EL: Bach. I didn't hear rap till LL in the 80s.  I love the eighties music. It was genius. 
Snugg McNugg: Yea the eighties was a great decade for music, it inspired most of the greats today. I'm glad you knew a composer, cause otherwise that ”I like classical" shit could have sounded like a "get the panties" line.

5TH JEW-EL: I do all kinds of music, I like plays an all that stuff. My folks always had us in stuff. We weren't rich at all but they made a lot of sacrifices and gave up things so I do that for them now. But it was a journey to find my "blackness" with people. I have gotten jobs over the phone, but when they find out I'm black, no go. “You talk so well” what the fuck does that mean?

Snugg McNugg: You'd be surprised how many first interviews were my last interviews when I came in all natural. Their loss. 

5TH JEW-EL: Definitely sounds like a loss. Women are most intrigued by intellectual personalities. I love a woman’s mind. When there is no drama it’s the most beautiful thing about women.

Snugg McNugg: Really? Most men would say the most beautiful thing about a woman is her ass. But you seem to credit a lot of your versatility to your parents. Anyone else who has aided in opening up your mind to new things? Perhaps any opinions you want to share on the group?

5TH JEW-EL: The group is great. I enjoy it. SHOUT TO THE GREAT Q'S, THE GROUP, AND THE SITE THEY HAVE MADE!!!! The convos and laughs are great and everybody has a voice.

Snugg McNugg: ...U Mad?? is a great bunch of (crazy ass) people.
Side note: I almost forgot. But the liquor cabinet full of half-empty bottles reminded me. So Happy New Year, by the way. Any lame ass resolutions?

5TH JEW-EL: Same to you, sweets. No resolutions but to stay focused get another degree. Want to move within the next two years, the change would be cool, and I would love to make a new start.
Snugg McNugg: How many degrees will that make? 27?? Are you a professional student?

5TH JEW-EL: Nah, just two. Everything else is personal study. I will teach later. Right now want to get right with some money put back. Travel then I’ll teach, gonna get mine while I live, rest when I die.
Snugg McNugg: I'll drink to that… (I'll drink to almost anything).
*sips* 
Is it true that tall guys have long dicks?!

5TH JEW-EL: 6 ft. isn't tall but hey.
Snugg McNugg: It's tall when you're 5'3

5TH JEW-EL: Spin yo' lil' ass around, small thing.

Snugg McNugg: *spins drunkenly*

5TH JEW-EL: Well I can talk dick size but it’s more of a "prove" than a "tell" but we puts IT down.
Snugg McNugg: We?? You and that anaconda in your pocket, eh?

5TH JEW-EL: Yeah.
Snugg McNugg: So tell me...What's your guilty pleasure? And everybody has one, so don't lie. And I'm not talking about something stupid like "I eat cookies in bed" or "I like my balls fondled during fellatio."  Something embarrassing--and make it good.

5TH JEW-EL: Let me see, embarrassing moment.

Snugg McNugg: Yea. Guilty pleasure. Embarrassing moment. Whatever. Just make it juicy. 
*gets popcorn*

5TH JEW-EL: I used to be a lush around about age 19. We would get drunk before we went to the club. I got so drunk I poured a "Color Purple" water glass full of gin [and drank it] and was so drunk. 
I hurled all over myself and my god brother had to throw me in the shower. I was crying and shit talking about I couldn't get out of the shower and my brother had to get my nasty drunk ass out the shower and throw me in the room. I woke up had dinner in my hair before I had to go to an interview.
Snugg McNugg: *that’s one of the jobs he didn't get a 2nd interview for* 
Hey, we've all had those nights/mornings. Sort of.
*reminisces & sips* 
Okay a few more. Sex in public, yes or no?

5TH JEW-EL: I haven’t had sex in public, but once in the daytime on the ground behind this girl’s house. 
I had this crazy sexual experience: Went out and met a chick, got her number in the club. Called her when I left and her girlfriend answered the phone. I was like “You wanna chill?” she was like, “Yeah”.  Then her girl showed up too and they jumped off after smoking a L and a few shots of Courvoisier. I had my first ménage. It was the most surreal moment. I have met some spontaneous chicks.
Snugg McNugg: Well I guess so!

5TH JEW-EL: Chicks I meet always saying, “He doesn't do this and that blah blah.”  I would have never thought lol. We all like people as nasty as we are, regardless what they say. Keep it trill.
Snugg McNugg: Keep it trill, eh? So if I asked you to what kind of females you are into, what would you say?
5TH JEW-EL: I like female’s with musical interests. Smart. Got that "Claire Huxtable" shit with glasses. Conversation is a key thing too. Q Dub had me trippin' with the whole chick and the CNN thing, it's sad. I like the balance of teacher and student in all aspects.
Snugg McNugg: Teacher and student, eh? *school bells ringing* Oh boy! Time to go! Last chance to address everyone but I'm only giving you 5 words.

5TH JEW-EL: Live. Life. Learn. Love. 

Snugg McNugg: *puts drink down to count* 
Wait, isn't that 4...Whatever, I've been drinking so it’s all blurry.

5TH JEW-EL: My bad and everybody wishing you the best in 2010. To get paid. Find happiness and peace. Whatever the fuck it is that makes us whole in the New Year.

Snugg McNugg:*takes her drink back* Jefrey, it’s been real. I appreciate your time.

5TH JEW-EL: It was my pleasure. Peace.
