Hey Girl, Let's Go Have Some Drinks!

Inspiration - "Happy Hour" Jazze Pha and Cee Lo Hey girl?.(hey girl, hey girl) Let's go have some drinks! Apple Martinis, Cosmopolitans, Pina Coladas? I got a lot of dollars!

What I'm Listening To - Slaughterhouse - Masta Ace. This is a satire of a gangsta rap album, that is actually more gangsta than most of the stuff that was out back then. He managed to make fun of them but not lose his skills. I had the tape back in the day, but I need to find it on CD.

Question(s) I Asked Myself Today - 1) What does a brother gotta do to get some comments on his blog? I see other bloggers have like 30 comments a post, but I got none. Maybe I need to comment on someone else's blog so they will comment on mine. 2) Why does it sound like I'm begging?

What's up fellow bloggers? If I my writing seems a little tipsy tonight, well blame Cafe Intermezzo. I just got back from hanging out with Jessica and Kristie. It seems I am now a lightweight when it comes to the liquor. It was an eclectic environment so I decided to try something different than my usual Henny and coke. After a couple Amaretto's and one Grand Marnier, I was done. It was over for the night. I used to be able to drink all night long but it's been a while since I really drank heavily. This reminds me of the last time I got sloppy ass drunk.

It's no surprise I was hanging with Kristie and Eric aka The Kings of Drunk. They just have a way of getting you buzzed even when you don't intend to. Anyway, we went to this joint in Buckhead called Eclipse di Luna. It's a tapas bar, which apparently means that they sell small portions of food and lots of liquor. They had a live salsa band and the mojitos were flowing. I had never had a mojito once before. I remember thinking that sounded like a gay ass drink and I wasn't fuckin with it. Boy, was I wrong. By the time the first pitcher was gone, so was I. I was buzzin while the Salsa music played in the background. If it weren't for the next pitcher of drinks, I might have took my non dancing uncoordinated ass on the dance floor and cut a rug. I don't know how many I had that night, but let's just say I am glad I wasn't driving that night.

On the ride home, I remember riding through Buckhead and not recognizing where the hell I was. To make matters worse, I pulled out my cell phone and started looking for a booty call. I believe white people call it drunk dialing. Well let me tell you, friends don't let friends dial drunk. It's not a good look. I was rambling and incoherent and trying to run game which of course was not the right thing for a man in that state to do. I actually called a female friend of mine by mistake and had a 3 minute conversation which to this day I do not remember, but she won't let me forget.

When we finally got home, I staggered across the parking lot to my door. For some reason, I decided that I didn't feel like going in the house so I chilled outside and smoked a black. I finally got the nerve to step in the house and that's when everything started spinning. I haven't earled off some liquor in about 5 years, which is about the time I stopped the heavy drinking, but I felt it coming on. I also had the first signs of a hangover, a massive headache, but I was still drunk. What was I to do? Well, in my drunken state, the only solution was to take a shower. I figured that would sober me up. Long story short, I woke up about 2 hours later laying down with the water from the shower beating me on my head. I know it sounds strange, but that was the best shower I ever took in my life. My head wasn't hurting anymore and all signs of intoxication vanished. My friends all laugh at me when I tell them this story, but I have found the sure fire cure for a night of drunken debauchery: falling asleep in the shower. Try it and let me know if it works for you. Oh, I also have an update on the stalker that I will try to post some time over the weekend. I'm too tired to try to write it tonight. Stay tuned.

I wanna say RIP to my father who died on this date 11 years ago. I hope I have made you proud of the man I have become. Learning from your mistakes has definitely made me a better man. I'm glad we got a chance to really get to know each other before you passed. Love always from your firstborn son.
