TGIF people!!!! (really doesn't matter cuz I may have to work tomorrow, that sux)
Overall today was pretty chill...thought I was gonna be able to go home today but that didn't happen. I'm stuck in this God-forsaken hotel until I get the word I can bounce, better believe when I do get it I'll be like a thief in the night!
Something out the ordinary happened to me today...twice!!! Two women (count them two) hit on my today, one was on the sly, the other was more overt. It feels kinda good to know that there are other people (other than your spouse) that find you attractive to some degree. My wife and I always joke with each other about "the people" who hit on us...usually to the tune of "whatever, don't nobody want yo stankin ass!!! I'm the only one that wants you"...just a little tactic we like to employ to make sure we keep each other's self esteem low...lol!!! Of course this is done jokingly with nothing but love. Anywho, the first lady was a fairly attactive middle age Latina, fiesty attitude, witty comebacks, a real west Texas shit-kicker. I call in an order for some food, I arrive at the place to pick up said food only to hear her yelling out curse words (jokingly) to another customer. Of course we instantly recognize each other cuz I'm one of two black people who frequent this restaurant. I mention to her that she shouldn't use that kind a language around me cuz I have sensitive ears and that she had a "filthy mouth". She looked me square in the eyes and said, "Honey, I may have a fithly mouth but I can do great things with it!" wink wink. My reaction was "whoa", at that point I had to turn off my "mandingo powers" otherwise she would have hopped over the counter and tried to rape a brotha. Needless to say, I walked away with a new swagger, knowing that this woman craved for a piece of "Chocolate Thunda".
The second occurence happened at a Thai restaurant in Odessa, TX. I know I know, Thai and Odessa should not be mentioned in the same breath or sentence. Being that's it's the only Thai spot in the city, you would expect it to be kind of yay, but it's actually good. Mind you, there aren't many Black folk in Odessa, it's predominantly hispanic and white with a few chocolate chips here and there. I walks in the spot only to be greeted by an attractive sista with hair in a afro (I love Black women with afros), only more stylish. We both look at each other like "what the hell are YOU doing here!" As peruse the menu, she asks me "what can I get you?", I rattle off an appetizer while still looking down at the menu, then she asks me "can I get your number?". At this point it's still registering with me that she just asked for my number without even really talking to me and me looking like a hot mess seeing that I'm fresh from work and a nice nap. Me being the happily married man that I am, politely declined without disclosing my marrital status on the account that that's really none of her business...yet. We small talk, she mentions that I'm the first black person that she's seen in the restaurant (see the trend here!!!) and the only one she's met that likes Thai food. I tell her I'm from LA and that I frequently eat Thai food, she was instantly amazed...whooaaa mandingo powers! The subject matter turns to a "where do you live now, what are you doing here, how long are you out here?" direction. I answer them all, then I shoot back a couple questions only for her to get more animated and interested in my humorous style and witty convo skills. At this point, she's ignored the other patrons to try to get more info out of me...I'm thinking either she's really working for a nice tip or she really wants a brotha's number...I found out it was the latter. Long story short, I leave the spot with her telling me to come back soon and me, with even more swagger!!!
Of course I told my wife all of this and she responds accordingly^^^^.
I'm the greatest of all TIIIIIIMMMMMEE!!!!
