What It Drew Explained

I've had a few questions about my blog's name, so I'll explain. I learned the phrase "What it do?" from kids I worked with in a group home. It's a phrase that originated from the Bay Area Hyphy culture (see video below.) It basically means "What's up?" or "What's going on?" I took the phrase "What it do?" and turned it into "What it Drew?"

Here's the urbandictionary.com definition of "What it do?"

Things I Learned on the Way to Jersey Yesterday

I traveled from South Lake Tahoe to Newark, New Jersey, yesterday. I learned a few things during the trip:

1. CalTrans vehicle operators don't care about getting in wrecks. One made a u-turn in the middle of the road and stopped right in front of me. I was headed straight for him. Snow was all over the road, and I was going about 40mph. I started pumping my brakes like mad and turned the wheel. It didn't matter. I was headed right for his bumper. I think God saved me because I stopped about a foot away from him. The CalTrans guy got out and asked if I had 4-wheel-drive. When I said yes, he told me I could continue my way up the pass. He had no freaking clue.

2. The saying amongst Realtors, "If you want business, go on vacation" is true. I was in the Sacramento airport and was contacted by a client who wants to buy a certain home now. I'll be writing an offer on Monday. Last time I went to Jersey I got a listing!

3. Chris Rock was wrong. I had a layover in Minneapolis. There's way more black people in Minnesota than Prince and Kirby Puckett.

4. Inflate-a-beds are better in warm weather. The air underneath you is just as cold as the air above you. I was swaddled in my blankets like the Baby Jesus last night.
