Ruby

Ruby is a really outgoing girl who you can't stop thinking about. The girl you see but never get the guts to meet or speak to, but you don't know why? She is very good looking and most guys really want her but never say anything! She is talented in more ways than one, such as with art, singing, thinking outside the box, oh and much more! She hardly accepts compliments but however has no issues giving them. She is very open to the idea of trying new things, but has a hard time getting herself to do them. Last but not least, Ruby has the best hair that everyone wants!
Guy: I see her around but I never talk to her!
Guy2: Same here, I message her and stuff but can never seem to go to her in person.

Girl: Dang girl, I freaking want Ruby's hair!
Girl2: right!!

rubber band man

"I'm the Rubber Band Man. It's basically about being back in the Trap, like when we start our day, we might have two, three, rubber bands on our wrist. According to how much dope we had to sell. By the end of the day, if we sold all our dope we don't have any more rubber bands around our wrists cause they wrapped around money. So the Rubber Band Man is just my little way of holding on to that lifestyle just a little bit. I ain't selling no more dope, but I'm still wrapping rubber bands around money." - from a whudat interview with T.I.
But why the rubber band?
It representin the struggle man.

Rube Goldberg Syndrome

n. The situation whereby a medical or medical/psychiatric condition causes a "domino effect" of other dangerous symptoms and conditions ensuing.

Named after the Rube Goldberg "contraption" machine, any machine that uses a chain reaction of events to achieve a final, trivial goal (in this particular case, possibly death).
After my brother had that bout with strep, it apparently got to his stomach and paralyzed it, giving him a nasty case of acid reflux, which in turn began to launch acid clear up into his throat and mouth, not only severely damaging his teeth... he's also he's worried he's going to get cancer one day from all that acid where it's not supposed to be. And to say nothing about all the dental surgeries he's gonna need... talk about a case of Rube Goldberg Syndrome!

(No really, it has happened.)
