The one of the skills you learn growing up in Brooklyn is watching people. People from there or any major city with similar hoods know what I’m talking about. You can learn a lot by a person just by observing them. In prisons it’s elevated to an art form. So this is what I can guarantee the people who listen to Hootie’s Social Club : 1) Hootie has never been a tough guy but he’s good at manipulating tough guy’s to be around him so some of their rep’s are credited to him. Trust me, not on his best my self confident day would he walk up to someone and punch them in the face as I’ve heard him say about some of his detractors unless he had someone with him who’d save him or he knew the person was as weak as him. 2) His stories are filled with exaggeration when it deals with a role he played in the story. He exaggerates his importance with nonsense like he has sit down with Bosses or even Skippers. He says nonsense like this because that’s how he tries to boost his very low self esteem. 3) He has never completed anything of importance in his life. He was the type of kid that if he bought an 1000 piece puzzle to put together he’d be lucky to do 2-300 pieces of it before giving up. He has that pattern deep in him and it affects everything in his life. Intimate Relationships, jobs, simple tasks even this show. He starts things out hot and heavy, talking a big game about it and after the novelty wears off he just quits. Too much like work to him to keep his word. So I’m sure if he ever sees this he’ll have a fit, maybe do some pain killers or dope to numb his anger about someone calling him out on the very obvious but I wrote this in hopes he’ll get help. It’s never too late but his life will get even more miserable than it already is if he doesn’t change even just these 3 things I listed because there’s other obvious things I’ve observed but I’m not trying to get him to blow an artery. Good luck Anthino or is it Anthony ? Maybe we’ll just call you Hootie, no sense In changing that corny sounding nic anyway unless you start making the more important changes, then I suggest you bury that name with the weak character I see deeply rooted in you.
