How Professional.

I rented a car from Enterprise down the street from me to go to the Lupe show in College Park this Friday. It was a Dodge Caliber (which are really nice by the way)..

A guy named Patrick took the return for me after I had to wait a while but he makes small talk with me and ask me what it's like working at the resort. My first reaction was how the hell but then I remembered I had to give them a pay stub...

So, after I turn it in I get all the way home and then 20 minutes after I'm in the house I get a random text from a New York number that says "NICE BOOTS!"

I'm assuming it's somebody I met at the show or hotel or something so I go, "umm thanks..who is this?"

Guess who the fuck it was....

Yes. It was fucking Patrick from the Enterprise. He took my number off of my paperwork and texted me. Who the fuck does that?

Can't you get fired for that type of stuff? How professional is that?

That took heart though because I could have easily carried the shit out of him..I've been real hostile lately, I should have. LOL.

I just said, 'oh wow okay' and he ask me should he keep my number.

Seriously though?

If I didn't give you my number then I didn't want you to have it. You can't steal a girls number. That's cheating. Then you use a weak starter line like nice boots. Really?

Sorry sir, but you lose.



I would still recommend Enterprise to any and everybody. They're really nice up there. Sometimes too nice but whatever..

Another Eventful Lupe Show

So, if I was to describe my weekend so far in a nutshell it would go like this.

Went to College Park. Chilled in the hotel with everybody. Matty and Bam are hilarious. Got some Potbelly's with Mars, Keena, & Megan. Back to the hotel. Went to the Lupe show at UMD College Park. Got backstage at a sold out show. Backstage sucks though I would much rather have gotten a ticket and been in the front. Lu was great. I can go to a bunch of shows because something different always happens. An example would be Lu trying to take off his shirt and getting stuck in it. Another example would be tossing his shoes in the crowd. Chilled with 1/3 of Hey Champ. Met some groupies. I'm so not down with the whole looking like I'm with the groupies shit so I had to vacate.

Speaking of groupies.... I want to take this time out to acknowledge the group of girls and one guy that followed us back from the show with their headlights off like they were on some stakeout mission or private eye shit or something. THEN they were bold enough to come up in the hotel and be like, "So we wanna know where Lupe is" Really? Did you really think we were gonna be like, "Oh sure, he's right down the hall. His door should be open why don't you just walk on in?" That was some bold shit though.

After that...we went back and forth trying to figure out if we were going to stay in the hotel, go to IHOP or go to the bar. Everybody split up and all three were done. I haven't had much sleep so the rest is kind of a blur.

Lastly, Matty...I want my damn Hey Champ shirt..AND my Kenna cd, lol. Make that happen. Thanks.

You know what you should do though? Go here:

KayCee
Hey Champ
Bam
Bishop
Lupe Fiasco Show

Best Weekend Ever?

I have a Top 5 Weekends of My Life list. Okay not really but I can remember 5 that really stand out. This last weekend just bumped the last one out. I'm not sure if it's number one but it is damn sure up there.

Okay, so two of these weekends involve Lupe of course and 2 more of them involve somebody else...but anyway...

I went to see Lupe this Saturday. Although the set was shorter than I would have liked it to be it was ridiculously great.

Seriously. lol.

I don't think I've ever seen anybody perform so..hard. I've never seen him so energetic. I kind of almost expected him to pass out from exhaustion. He was that gone. That show was the epitome of someone going into another zone when they performed.

KayCee, who is cool as shit by the way, posted a review of the concert and even though other ones are more detailed I think hers gives you the jist of what happened.

Some dude pissed on the floor and ....man this is gonna sound like a bad joke but I'll say it anyway...he ended up pissing everybody off around him and they got him kicked out. Hey, I warned you.

What else...Lu's opening act had a mascot who was almost as, if not more, entertaining than they were at some points. If anybody remembers what their name was and the name of that last song they did it'd be greatly
appreciated.

What else...oh..sound in the front wasn't all that great but at least I got to see everything without having to stand on my toes.

There was some groupie-like girls behind me and I think they had a part in trying to get the crowd to yell "Loopy". Of course that shit didn't fly. Even with half the people there not knowing who Lu was.

Even though I don't drink there are blocks of time that have been lost from that night so I may skip around in the events....ok..

So Lu apparently looked right at me at one point..somebody else told me this. Of course I didn't catch that. Bishop said KayCees name in his freestyle that I could barely hear up front and she didn't catch that at all lol, uhh Lu shouted out the blog right after he looked down at her. That got screams from random people. I also heard a guy behind me say that we "must be from the blog".

He was half right, lol.

I remember losing my voice for a second after yelling the words to
Sunshine, Paris, Tokyo, Kick Push, Daydreamin, I Gotcha, Superstar,
Hi-Definition, Dumb It Down, HHSML, & Go Go Gadget Flow. I think thats all of em
lol. [That's more than 7 songs by the way].

SIDENOTE: I loved the whole 'I love you' thing before Superstar. I'm
still singing it lol. AND I don't understand how once he said 'because you are..' people didn't see Superstar coming from a mile away. People in there sounded amazed once he said 'a superstar'afterwards. Seriously?

Anyway, apparently people are fans but can't tell Bishop from Gem,
Lupe has perfect timing, I'm 'skinny & pretty', vending machines DO
NOT take $5 bills, & pimples do come up the day before important
events just like in the movies and on tv.

"I Asked You First Though"

Since when has it been acceptable to answer a question with a question?

Who taught you that? If somebody says, "Hi, how are you?" you can't reply with "How are you?"

You're supposed to answer first.

Next..to clear up the censorship post...

The "stuff" I was talking about involves people who read the blog. It's not that I'm scared of what they may say...it's more of me not wanting them to know that "stuff".

At least not right now

How Fitting.

I found this inside one of the slightly offensive cds they sell in The Williamsburg Shop here called From Ear To Ear. It includes such hits as:

Massa Buy Me, Bring Me Half A Hoe (Field Version), & Gonna Beat Dis Corn.

The last line is the fitting part. This is what it says...

Wasalu - This traditional song of the Wasalu peoples of Mali reflects music which would have been sung during festivals and celebrations...This song celebrates the African tradition of acknowledging life events through music.

Check the chained up slaves with their little boy reaching for them and the slave on the boat in the background underneath Africa...across from the free, happy, rejoicing, dancing slaves under America.

hmm. Something is wrong with that picture...

Who The Hell Is Lupa?

So yesterday I got a text message from my mom (yes, she finally figured out this new texting thing) and it said,

"Did u know Lupa was going to be at love sept 21"

My first reaction was 'who the hell is Lupa?' then a second later I realized she meant Lupe. Then I shook my head when I realized it wasn't a typo or anything. She actually put Lupa.

I told her yes I knew when I'd actually forgot all about it. A friend of mine that is probably at LOVE every Saturday told me back in July maybe. He's like an insider there now or something.

But the whole point of this is....

My MOTHER texted me about a Lupe event! What the hell is going on here?

She's actually not sure if it's this month or next month but I guess it's the thought that counts. Right?

I Have A New Manager.

I hate her.

She's a white lady named Donita or something like that. She is there to replace the old manager we hated and apparently are responsible (partly) for getting fired. We went without one for a while and the two assistant managers took over. That was good while it lasted.

Now, I just met her yesterday. Everybody else met her while I was gone on my much needed mini-vacation from that place.

So, I come in to open and the store looks a mess. Like they hadn't straightened anything since I was there. The girl who was supposed to close called out and they put somebody in there from another store who clearly did nothing all day. So I'm cleaning up and folding everything that was destroyed in the store when the new manager comes in.

...By the way the store still looks a mess even when it's clean now because she changed everything around and none of it makes any sense. She said "we need to be telling a story with our store". That should tell you enough...

Anyway, while I'm folding she's looking around the store and is like 'when you get a chance go fix those slippers over there' and I proceed to tell her I will but right now I'm fixing all this other stuff that was messed up but she cuts me off and is like 'yeah, you probably have a lot to do'. She keeps talking but I'm not listening anymore. THEN she asks 'What's all this? Returns?' referring to what my attention was on the whole time she was talking.

.....I told her, 'No, it's all the stuff that wasn't folded' she makes this retarded face and says some other shit I can't remember then says she'll be back. She didn't. Thank God.

......I need a new job.

Let's Be Serious For A Second.

Puma First Round Boot



Would you really? Ever? And with what?

Looking at those just made me think of high school wrestling for some reason. But if you are one of the 4 people in the world that probably want them you can buy them for $125.
