What The Hell
What it do? This is Amaru aka
Young ‘Ru aka Mista Woosaa. I'm
glad to be apart of the UBTRIPPIN'
family. Here is a little back story on
me:
I am a professional, national touring; stand up comedian (www.myspace.com/
therealamaru) and a member of the music group, “Hip-Hop” (www.kzoohiphop.com)
out of Kalamazoo, MI. I am also a screenwriter and poet. I guess you can call me the
renaissance man of the entertainment business. In anything that I do I most definitely
try and keep it real. In other words, I don't bite my tongue! Tune in every month for my
comical yet serious take on social and relevant issues that we face.
"What the Hell" means exactly that. For instance, what the hell is wrong with our
schools? Dealing with an active father must not be in their training manual. I damn
near have to show ID, give a DNA sample and PEE in a cup when I go to see my kids
at school. What the hell do I have to do to get recognized as a father?
I have 3 children and one baby momma. (Damn shame people applaud that
statement every time I say it.) Every year, even if it’s the same school, I have to re-
input my information onto their school registration forms. And the only section I get on
is the school's Emergency Contact page. I also get a call when some money is
needed. Sometimes they call me to ask for their mother. If I say, “Well, I’m the father,
can I help you?” They don’t know what to say. Sometimes I walk to my kid's classes
to check in on them and their classmates usually see me first and they get excited.
They start whispering amongst themselves asking each other “Is that a… daddy?”
It sounds funny but we need to change that around. It hurt me not to have a father in
my childhood so I refuse to do it to my children. Fellas, all I’m going to say to you
without preaching is, let’s break the cycle, for our future's sake.
Til next time… Woosaa!!
