I'm telling you, hook ups are sometimes good and sometimes they are the WORST. When I moved to my new community, I was on a strict budget. I was working for a company who didn't know my worth so, I basically had all the important things I needed in my home. Cable was NOT a necessity. We got the basic channels with our outdoor antenna and had internet. Yup, were good!!
My then neighbor, approached me one day and said, "Who's your cable with"? I looked like,(Blank stare) " dude, I can't afford cable, why you ask"? Well, I work for Comcast and I can hook you up for the low low when you're ready. Ok, cool I thought. He gave me his cards and told me to pass them along. I'm all about helping others, I think( scratches head).
I asked a few of my neighbors about him and they all vouched, he's legit, go for it, he did ours. So, I finally broke down and he installed it.
Life with cable was AWESOME~~ We had every channel.. Man, it was awesome til one day everything stopped!! Black, Bam, Done!! I knocked on my neighbors door to let him know and this dude caught an attitude. It lasted all of 2 months, the Almighty hook up, unhooked!!
We quickly healed and moved on( loosing cable was devastating)and went back to life without cable.
This year, another hook up rolled around. And what did I do, yup you know it, jumped on it.. And what happened? yup, unhooked again!!
As I flipped thru the channels left( or lack thereof) it hit me, I don't have to settle for a hook up.. As the saying goes, shame on me for letting the same mistake happen twice.
What seems to be a good chance to skip out and get ahead will always come back and get yo' tail. Keep it 100 and pay yo' fare!!! No more hook ups around these parts, if I can't get it the right way, I'll just go without and I'll still be just fine!
The almighty hook up, pass me by! I'm all set~~ Guess I'll go thru my junk closet and dust off my antenna, AGAIN~ HAHAAAAA

It happens and we all get caught up some time. But we must remember that most "hook ups" are stealing. I don't buy boot leg CDs or DVDs. If I'm going to uphold the law, I don't need to be breaking it.
