Flavor of the week

What a week!! This is the first time I felt like had an actual life.

On wednesday me and a few friends had plans to meet up at 5 to go play
paintball. At about 3 I remember I still didn't have a suit for the
wedding on friday. I go to get a suit and the guy in there tried to
sell me the whole store. He made me slip on a blazer and when I saw
the tag said $600 I slid right out of it carefully so as not to rip
it. I ended up getting a nice dark power suit, I looked better than
Billy Dee Williams in a old colt 45 commercial. While they were
tailoring the suit to fit my arms the guy brought me some shoes. They
were $130 so I gave him the look and he took them away. While I'm
waiting he brings me a shirt n tie combo I supposedly can't resist and
they end up being $100 I sighh and the dude gives up....then tries to
sell me some cuff links. At least he is consistent.

After the suit we met up but I couldn't go paintballing because I had
on my business work clothes. If I get hit with a paintball it would
bleed though and mess up my Gordon Gartrelle shirt. I always thought
that you change out of your clothes and into some fatigues they give
you. But they told me I need clothes underneath and my shoes will get
splattered too.My other friend Sam forgot his I.D. Anyway so we
couldn't go paintballing. I suggested we go bowling cause I've been
dying to go to this little bowling alley in harlem. I'd visited it the
week before on a scouting trip and the environment was fun,the price
was right and most importantly there were PLENTY of nice girls around.
We couldn't go bowling because they serve alcohol and Sam didn't have
his I.D. He started looking real sheepish at this point. He says he
leaves the house with his work I.d. Tag and never figured he would
need state identification. Whatever. The only thing we could think of
to do that didn't need I.d. Is ice skating.

How the hell do 3 dudes leave the house to go paintballing n shooting
each other down and end up doing triple toe loops n shit? I don't know
but that's what happened. I skated like an angel that day, everyone
stopped and looked in awe. They lined up 8 barrels for me to jump and
I did a backflip over them. It was like I was born to.....ok I'm
lying, I looked like an ostrich on roller skates. I feared for my life
the whole time. It didn't help that these 10 year old justin bieber
assholes kept zipping by me at 100 mph. I shook my fist at them like
an angry old man. I really had fun, we ate crunch n munch and hot
dogs. It was one of those moments where I stood back and looked at me
sitting on the bench with my friends drinking hot chocolate and
laughing and realized how far I'd come. I'm going to be okay.

After ice skating we went to toys r us to buy my nephews Modern
Warfare 3. We had a blast in there. I think times square is the worlds
biggest toys r us but I'm not sure. We wandered aimlessly around times
square for a while then we took the train home. I stayed up all night
pigging out on junk food , playin video games and internet surfing.
Other than the fact that there was no sex I would say it was an
absolutely perfect day.

The next day was thanksgiving so I already knew that day was gonna be
great. I slept till I couldn't anymore (nothing better than that).
Surfed the net to see what movies,music,pronos and news I should catch
up on. I went to Canarsie to see the fam and ate till I was stuffed.
My cousin really outdid herself this year : turkey,macaroni, lasagna,
deviled eggs. I ate myself into a coma .....no homo. I played modern
warfare with the kids,told my niece how beautiful she is and paid my
couisn the cost of all the ingredients. I gotta do for my family cause
they always hold me down no matter what. After that I went to the
club. Another really great day. My first day off in I don't know how
long.

The next day was friday and my friends wedding in connecticut. Oh what
a day that was. I woke up to 2 paychecks hitting my direct deposit
like KABLOWIE!! I put on my suit and I wanted to kiss myself , I was
so fly. I had some extra time so I treated myself to some new shoes.
It feels sooo good to spend $ on myself and not have to worry about
someone else calling and crying for $ or school clothes for their
kids. My boy Alex and his wife picked me up and we had a BLAST on the
2 hour road trip. We stopped off at this random ass mcdonalds and had
mcribs and laughed some more. We get to the wedding and it was
beeeeautiful. The brides parents paid for it and I honestly couldn't
imagine a better wedding. Only thing missing was Beyonce singing "At
last". We ate filet mignon and drank champagne. We danced and laughed
and teased the groom. We took endless pictures and I had to laugh at
how funny life is. Just a few months ago I thought my life was so
horrible and I would never smile again but I'm actually going to be ok
it seems. The wedding lasted from about 5-11 pm.we drove back and
almost died 3 times on the road (I'm not fucking joking). Alex' wife
kept falling asleep and she was supposed to be reading the directions
off the GPS . We kept missing turns cause when he would ask her right
or left her ass was knocked out. That shit was too funny, I was in the
back seat laughing my drunk ass off. I went home and surfed the net
for hours and nibbled on thanksgiving leftovers. Wish I woulda got
some ass but other than that it was another near perfect day. I only
saw 2 girls who caught my eye at the wedding: the first one was my
good friends wife ( she was fucking STUNNING). Light skinned,real
pretty face,short Toni Braxton hairstyle and so damn thick I wanted to
cry. Obviously I wasn't going to try to talk to her but if me and him
weren't such good friends...The other girl was pretty hot too but she
was booed up with this dude the whole time. A couple of times we
locked eyes and exchanged lustful looks but alas I never got a good
chance to walk up to her when dude wasn't around.

Saturday I worked all day, I kept thinking about how I was pretty much
the only one at the wedding without a date. At times it was fine but a
couple times everyone urged me out to the dance floor and I felt so
awkward dancing alone to the boogie. I didn't necessarily want a
girlfriend but I needed to make a couple of "friends" that I could
call on if something like that ever happened again. After work I got
dressed and headed to the club. I had this new Sean John shirt I'd
been dying to wear and my fav rocawear jeans on. I gave myself a
little pep talk, spritzed my body in Gucci cologne and hit the scene.
I knew it was going down that night, I could just feel it.

Sam and I hung around for a while but as usual he didn't have any
identification so he couldn't go in the club. He hung outside with me
for a while until I went in. I didn't have a wingman but I was gonna
have to complete the mission solo.I wasn't gonna be that pathetic
friend sitting at the singles table by himself at the next weekend. I
had ended up sitting next to the only other single guy and Alex teased
me mercilessly that he wasmy date.The scene was pretty packed and
everyone was having fun. I was trying to work up the courage to
approach some girls when I saw her. She had on a nice pink top and
some black pants. She was gorgeous, had a really really nice body and
red streaks in her hair. She turned to say something to her friend and
GOTDAMMMMNNNN I thought I'd never stop seeing ass!!!! I had to have
her.

All the fellas wondering how I left with you
Its cause my game was tight
Everything turned out right that night - Ginuwine

I took a sip of liquid courage,checked my breath then approached her.
First I got a smile, then I got a laugh, then I got a dance, then I
got her number. It was one of those moments where everything lined up.
All my jokes were funny,I felt good, I felt like I looked good,
everything was right. We stayed by each others side all night,dancing
and laughing. Her name is Karen and she is the sweetest thing ever.
We have the longest phone convos I swear. One night we talked for 5
hours, I kept having to change phones and batteries. The next night we
talked until 4:30 am I was literally fallin asleep but didn't wanna
hang up lol.
