I Gotta P

I couldn't have said it better myself. Guest post courtesy of the thought-provoking Tommy over at Striving For Average.

When you enter the music business one of the most important things is getting your name, the branding and all the marketing right so albums will sell. Sales, that's what it's all about, I'm not sure Sean Combs is the right kind of name you know, we probably need to jazz it up some. Your ever considered Puffy? That would be a good name don't you think Puffy Combs.

I gotta P.

Not now. I think Puffy might not really be what we need, how about we change it to Puff Daddy? That should work don't you think. I like it. Puff Daddy. It has a solid ring to it.

I gotta P.

Hear that, he has to have a P. Why didn't you mention it before that you had to have a P. It's a little late now to do anything about it.

I did tell you. I said I gotta P.

Do you realize how far we've gone. There is no way we can stop just because you have to have a P.

I gotta P.

OK, alright, you can have a P. How about P Diddy? Will that work. Can we get back to what we were doing before you decided you had to have a P?

P Diddy?

Yes P Diddy. You said you had to have a P and now your are gonna have a P. So be quiet about it.

I don't wanna P.

You are having a P and that is the end of it.

But I don't wanna P.

You are gonna have a P. End of story.

I don't gotta P.

What?

I don't gotta P.

OK fine you don't gotta P. But I don't ever want to hear this I gotta P crap from you ever again. Next time you make up your mind first if you gotta P or not and if you gotta P then go ahead and have a P but do it on your own time and leave me out of it. Understand?

I'm not ever gonna wanna P again. Ever.
