FEB. 2-3 began 11 P.M. ended 5 A.M. something
UB stands for University at Buffalo. Thats where I go to school. I am currently in the Senior class level.
Before I begin, I have this to say. Ever since crime has increased in the South Campus & Downtown Buffalo area, I never leave my place without pepper spray. I don't want to become a statistic & I'll do what I have to do to protect myself & whoever I am with. I just pray that I never have to use it.
Back in New York City, I grew up there so I have always felt safe & I know where not to hang out but I'm not from Buffalo & ppl are pretty ballsy here to mug or assault someone.
My friend Joanna is working 'till closing at Starbucks on campus. I wait for her outside in the commons. While waiting, I'm drinking Red Bull. We leave at midnight, catch the bus to south campus. Arrival, take the train to the theater district. We walk to this place called "founding fathers" its dominated by hippies & activists, I find a few ppl that I've met over the years at UB. Really cool ppl that you can discuss anything with. Even now, I find myself running into them & talking to them. The thing is, I don't think we can be friends & what I mean by that is have them over my place & what-not even though I would love to hang out with them. I don't know how else to explain it. We are there for about 10 minutes. We now head over to this private apartment building a few blocks down. Mutual friend Brenden drives us over there. In the building, it looks like an old great depression type school that u always see in movies. The 3 of us enter the apartment. There is "hipster" music playing, everyone is high on cocaine & drinking. Joanna calls it "Dank Nuts" (the term for snorting nose candy but isn't dank nuts weed?) We get introduced by one kid who I have worked with the prior academic year in the student association office. He was a photographer, he's a college graduate now. He actually remembered me. Joanna dances with Natasha. There is one kid walking around with a huge smile on his face, his hair all messy & holding a beer bottle. He looked high out of his mind. That smile would just not come off of his face. Even later that night, he continued to smile. I remember him, back when I was a Freshman at this school, I lived in the Goodyear dorm. On my floor, there was this girl who had about 3 or so friends always come over her room. He was one of those kids. Also, every time I went to the gym, he would be there so I remember him. I never met him though. Even now, he still looks like he's 18 except with more hair. That hair style he has is that typical "stoner-look" So this is what the crowd looks like 'emo haircuts boys & girls (it really irritates me how you can tell these ppl watch & worship Tim Burton's movies & look like Cloud from Final Fantasy 7. I don't like Tim Burton anymore, he is a sell out & has been in bed with Disney since the early 1980's but that's a rant for another time), one guy who looks like he has to be pushing 30 years old, with a red beard, tatts all over & some stuff used as an earring, this stuff is thick, looks painful. One girl who looks like she belongs on that Suicide Girls website with a Kirsten Dunst chin. She was gone, she was on another planet.
Natasha has a new bf, she is trying to impress him by showing him that she hangs out with a "normal" crowd & not hippies. The guy looks like a hippy himself but whatever. Brenden & I are watching them dance, the strobe light is going on, there's a DJ controlling the "hipster" music. Brenden says to me "I like the founding fathers better"
I was about to go with him because I wasn't feeling it. But I decided to stay because I came with Joanna & it would be kind of an insult to Natasha so I stay. Brenden drives off. We go outside for a smoke, Joanna & I don't smoke so we chew Trident gum.
We come across these 2 hippies high on weed. A chat begins & Joanna says that Philosophy sucks because there are more important things in the world than just talking about random stuff that doesn't change anything. The high hippy argues back making no sense whatsoever. So we go back to the party. Dancing continues. Most ppl are wearing Jackie O sunglasses dancing around with no rhythm in mind. Remember that the strobe light is still going on & its dark inside making it that nightclub feel. Sadly to say that this "hipster" music playing, I have one song on my iTunes hahaha. I now have to find it & figure out what the hell it is.
We go back to smoke (keep in mind, Joanna & I do not smoke, we chew trident gum), one of Joanna's friends Patrick (who is super high & drunk) is on the phone with ppl who can give him a ride back, he lives in Hadley as well so I want to join him. Natasha who is also smoking says that she should have brought her rifle. One kid asks why. She says so she can play with it. I ask her if its real, it is. She then talks about how she plans on getting her pistol license. By this time its like 3AM. Eventually Patrick's friends who could have been our ride back to Hadley leave the party without us. Sucks. Natasha has been taking pictures with her digital camera all night long & while she is smoking, she mentions that as she was taking pictures, she took one with 5 guys in the same picture, these same 5 guys she had sex with. Omg, why Natasha?? Whats going on?? So we go back to the party, its basically dying out. The DJ is now on our ground level of the apartment. Music is still playing though. He looks at my NIN shirt (I own 2), we talk about it, "pretty hate machine" is the best album he states & he has been collecting their CD's since they began, he asks me if I want anymore to drink, I lie to him saying that I had a lot before I arrived. He's still hanging out with me. I see Joanna, I go to her, we talk, we are now waiting for Natasha & Patrick who are in the bathroom smoking weed. The DJ comes back to me & asks me if I want a drink, I tell him that I am recovering, he says "I hate recovering" but not in a rude manner. The DJ also continues to stare at me. Something a guy would do who finds a girl attractive. I just shrug my shoulders at him (it's a way to break the ice, that's what I do).
Funny thing happening (& I believe I am the only one who noticed) a chapter from the Audio drama Star Wars: A New Hope begins to play. I guess the DJ popped it in?? So its pretty funny, Its in the beginning where Darth Vader says to Leia "u r part of the rebel alliance & a traitor. TAKE HER AWAY" & meanwhile, the "hipster" music is still playing haahaha. Someone should make a remix track of that haha.
Natasha, Patrick, Joanna's friend (don't remember her name) & myself decide to head back to Natasha's place, its far so we are going to take a bus or something. We walk out of the apartment building & see that the gate is locked up controlled by a computer that is outside the gate. So Natasha climbs up over it, Joanna goes next, they see the computer & figure out the code to open it. They do, the 3 of us get out. We start walking. We stop at a corner, & all look at each other. Someone thought that someone had a car but none of us do. So we keep walking, arrive at the main strip of downtown Buffalo. This is the popular area. We see that the police closed off most of the area, something horrible happened I imagine. So we walk & walk, pass the clubs, there are idiot guidos arguing with each other, one guido is grabbing his gf & says "I swear to God I will fuckin' kill u" in a drunk anger tone. Seriously, y girls always seem to pick trash as their bf?? It will continue to baffle me. We reach a "Jim's Steakout" but its packed with guido's & sluts. So we keep walking & seek the one that is blocks away. We finally get there, its packed but not that bad. There is an armed security guard present so that gives me the feeling that shit happens in this area. Joanna & I stand in line to order food for everyone while the others sit at a table. We eat, call a taxi cab to get us to Natasha's place. 5 min. later, a cab driver walks in & asks "any1 call for a cab?" I stand up & tell him we did & now we are waiting for Patrick to get out of the bathroom. He is really high & drunk, almost busted his ass while walking. He dozes off & wakes up. He's definitely done for the night. We take the cab, drive to Natasha's place. I'm riding shotgun. On the way there, Joanna talks about getting a tattoo to impress her bf but he doesn't want her to get one. She's also thinking of leaving him, they have been together for about 4 years now. There must not be any spice left in their relationship from what I was hearing. The cab driver says "lets listen to some music" as soon as he turns the radio on, 2 princes by the Spin Doctors is playing. Everyone laughs except the cab driver. He says that they should remake the song into a rap song. He begins to sing along but in rap-style. We get to Natasha's house, we then get in Natasha's car & she drives Patrick & I to Hadley. We listen to her mixed CD. First song is "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode. The next one is "There is a light that never goes out" by the Smiths. Then we listen to the new Britney Spears CD as a joke, I didn't find it funny 'cause I can't listen to that shit hahaha. We get to Hadley, I give Natasha $30 for coming through. We are dropped off in front of the community building. Patrick & I part ways, I say by to the 3 girls in the car. THE END.
