Silver-Tongue Update

So the crazy liar that was calling my phone and not saying anything from a blocked number...

Yes, the one who lied and denied his 7-year long relationship with that crazy cool chic...

The one that my boy had to "regulate on" to get him to stop calling me..

Yea so he called me today again...

And actually spoke!!

It took me all of 60 seconds to ask him why the hell he was calling me...and to inform him he never needed to do so again..

You know what he said? He asked, "I CANT CALL YOU?"

I said NOPE..and hung up....what kind of game are these guys playing? This is my life man...I am not wasting time, breath, or energy on scum like that...lol

Had me cracking up for a good 5 minutes...lol

Old School Friend update

Remember how I thought I hit paydirt with this one...NOT so much. Turns out I should have trusted my original instinct. I think our personalities are just not a good match! He is a sensitive guy when he wants to be but I think that he has been through so much in his life that it is virtually impossible for him to let me in. I also think that I am dealing with some sort of personality dysmorphia. I had a perception of this guy as "playa" for so long...that it is virtually impossible for me to see him in a different light (which is crazy because I would never consider myself a particularly RIGID person)...

SO I have not shut it down completely...but I think it is on its way out of the door..

Can I get a big AWWWWW?

Did ya'll miss me? Radio Date and BlackPeopleMeet

Info on the newest experiment...


This is how dedicated I am to this blog...as most of you know I am an avid Steve Harvey listener. So naturally I was listening when he started the "Radiodate" segment. Most people would be a little "put-off" by the idea of letting Steve Harvey put you on national radio and set you up on what is essentially a blind date. I could see how some would look as as a desperate move. Not me!! I thought it might be fun. I also thought it might put me one step closer to my secret dream of meeting Nephew Tommy (my radio crush of course...because I love FUNNY guys). So here's the deal. You have to click the Radiodate banner on WBLS website and sign up on blackpeoplemeet.com


The scary part:


It is not only Radiodate...you are now exposed to thousands of men who are online looking for a new partner/lifemate/booty call/answer to their mid-life crisis (depending on the day)


BUT:


If you are a normal person...signing up for a little fun and curiousity...then there is the small chance that you could meet ONE other (I can't imagine there are that many) NORMAL person who has signed up on te site as well...hopefully...




SO HERE WE GO!!


THe funny thing is...I signed up one day..and COMPLETELY forgot about it...I mean I even forgot what email..username...and password I used. So when I finally remembered...and figured all of the missing info out....I had 68 messages waiting (no exaggeration)!!! LOL


So instead of punking out"...I went through each and every one of them. Here are the stats:


1. About 20 of them were from men over 40....a little much for me...because I am not really interested in solving any man's mid-life crisis...


2. About 5 of them were from men OVER 60 which reminded me of the book by Gabriel Garcia Marquez "Tales of my Melancholy Whores" (great read...by the way)


3. About 20 of them were ust not good looking (I mean...my type...if we want to be politically correct...lol)


3. 10 of them were decent looking guys with 0-1 childen (which puts me off slightly because I am not blessed with any of my own)


4. About 5 of them were good looking, with no kids, and UNDER 5'10" (personal requirement...I just happen to have a preference for tall men)


5. And only 8 were from good looking men, with no kids, and OVER 5'10"....bingo!!!


So I decided to start from there.


I ended up narrowing it down to 3 guys...one of which I saw by chance in one of the picture scrolls..


You know how I like to name them:


1. The Tall Sweet and Seemingly Sensitive One (Mr. TSS for short)
2. The Sexy DJ
3. The Teddy Bear


That's all for now..check in 4 update...I promise My truth..and nothing but it..so help me...

Casual Sex

Has anyone seen the 80's movie "Casual Sex", starring Lea Thompson and Victoria Jackson? I am going to be doing a review on the blog in a couple of days..so look out for it.

It is an interesting concept....Two girls post-80's completely afraid of sex...for a very honest reason. They are tired of dealing with guys that don't care or refuse to call back after sex.

Does not sound like a foreign concept to me? LOL. Since movies tend to be a reflection of life (or some form of it) I am going to pick this one apart...character-by-character....

One character is a sexually-explosive young girl who has turned her back on all things sex because of an STD scare.

The other character is a reclusive, kindergarten teacher who has only had sex with 2 men in her entire life. The first guy was her best male friend and the other is her fiancee.

I will get back to you soon...and let you know..my version of truth on this one...
I'm out.

Danie

Taking a pause

I just want to take a moment..to breathe..and remind everyone out there..that although the blog is done as an open, honest look at my crazy *ss dating life....I do love the concept of real, true love...and I understand that love is bigger than "ideal mate" lists and "girl-talk"........................................................................BUT........................................

isn't it so much more fun...just to talk about why...MALES and FEMALES..have such a hard time understanding each other.....lol

MARS and VENUS...

PINK and BLUE...

GATORADE and DIET COKE (I know that one was random)....

Its like the entire universe is teaching us to be seperate but equal lol....and sometimes not sooo equal...

About THE NEWBIES: old school friend

Update on the newbies... (Ol' School Friend)

Honestly, this guy threw me for a loop. I was not expecting to find out this this "old school friend" had an interest. I don't even know how it came up...somehow he managed to tell me he liked me without me even noticing it! I don't think I was aware of it until like 3 hours later....lol

And trust me there are soo many reasons that this is a total surprise..
For instance, I told him yesterday...that even in college..I thought he was a complete jerk! He never wanted to talk to me ( I thought)...he never ever took the time to see how I was doing..or if I was homesick...like the other fellas (I knew for a while) always did. So in short, I didn't like him very much!!! LOL

How does that saying go? "Perception is Reality"!!

So of course...he tells me he was interested back then! I laughed so hard at that..I had tears in my eyes. I couldn't believe that this J-E-R-K thought that I was the one who was stand-offish...that I was the one who never had time for anyone...he actually said that he thought I was pretty full of myself!

HMMPH!! He is sooooo lucky that he is cute! I mean it!

How is that for a new beginning? LOL....

You have seen the trend...there isn't too much good happening on the NY guy side..so we shall see how long this one lasts...but at least I am still open to the possibility, LOL

I'm out.

Lack of "Some Dude" post so far..

In case ya'll are wondering...I am still working on the roster. Since I am trying to make it my business....to set a standard...I have less words on the WACK guys I have went out on a date this week!!!! (Especially since a few of them are reading this blog...lol)

But no worries...there are a couple up for the next round of questioning...I am sure the "some dude" factor will rear its ugly head before the week is over.

Interesting new folk....who might make it to the summer roster..

1. A hottie waiter
2. An old school friend
3. A professional

GOal in '09: Make it out of "some dude" radar!!!

I will keep you posted. I'm out!
--Danie

P.S. My Chapter 3 Steve Harvey review will be up @ the beginning of next week...look out for it..and remember to share this blog with friends....love the feedback guys, thanks!

Cool Images from this week

Sometimes...its worth it to stop thinking..stop being so deep and just relax and enjoy all the laughter that life can provide!! Check out these random pics I took this week....


At a Chinese Food Store in Bay Ridge

At the BBQ's near 7th Ave...if you can't see it..the red sticker says TIP NOT INCLUDED...lol

In my hometown, BROOKLYN...only Brooklyn could rep like this...husting the Pres too!!

Once upon a time I loved like this........

Think. Breathe. Need.


Seadrops flowing from my eyes
Blooddrops dripping from my foldings within
I breathe out his gift of air
The minute he stops
Time stops
I scream
and
I breathe in
My insides rip like clothing strips
Each tear bringing a tear of joy
and pain
and dreams of a baby boy
I love him, I think to myself
I love you! I scream in anger at him
Thrusting words against his thrusting actions
I begin to believe his truths
and slip into
the deep, dark sleep of his love.
Tossing and Turning at night as I lay next to him
Begging him to come
with me
To never leave, to always stay
Then screaming out to him
To leave, to never stay
His memory frustrates me
I miss his insides being inside my insides
I miss needing
his touch
his warmth
his love
I hate him, I think to myself
I hate you! I scream in anger at him
when he returns
He covers my mouth
and strips me
of words
as he makes love to my love
Matching my heartbeat with his own
We ride
In Stride
Throwing our 10-lb thoughts aside
We Ride. In Anger. In Love. In Strife.

MONDAY: Theme song of the week

Considering all of the wild events occuring lately, I have to dedicate this week's theme song to all the "some dude" guys hanging around NYC.


Beyonce's LOST YO MIND has officially made it to the "most played" list on my ipod.

Favorite phrase 1: I know how my mama felt, getting ran over
But this ain't a cycle here (oh) This one is over (yea)

Favorite Phrase 2: This ain't a warning (yea) Ya living a double life (oh)
You must've lost ya mind! (yea)

Some of you have hit me up asking about this "some dude" reference...so I will post my definitions for these two...one more time...

"SOME Dude" -- the guy who is the last to get his phone call returned because you don't think he is seriously pursuing you or anything else in his life.-- the LAST guy on the totem pole-- the guy you secretely make fun of with your friends...when the new guy comes around

"THE Dude" -- the one who MATTERS-- the first guy on the totem pole (and the only pole you are interested in climbing)-- the guy you never talk about with your friends..and the one who keeps new guys from taking up his space!

I'm out!

Attracting Douchebags and New-New Boy's girlfriend!

Oh Lord! I am feeling under the weather right now but I just have to tell ya'll about lastnight/thismorning's events...

First off, I got a call from New-New Boy's (aka Silver-tounge) GIRLFRIEND. She calmly asked who I was and why her boyfriend had been calling me so frequently. I calmly explained to her that I don't like drama and that her boo (who told me he broke up with his girl 7 months ago) had been trying to get at me for the last 4 weeks or so...and that he had been unsuccessful....lol..

BOY AM I GLAD I DIDN'T KISS THAT TWIT!!!!

So this girl (she seemed sweet, so I talked to her freely...not holding anything back) said they had been in a relationship for 7 years..of course its not my business but since I could tell she was  younger...I told her to watch her back..that nothing had happened with me...but that was ONLY BECAUSE of ME and not his undying devotion to her! After 7 years I think a man (after that amount of time) should be your LOYAL husband..not your attempting-to-cheat BOYFRIEND...then I told her I had to go..and thanks for waking me up because I overslept and was late for work!

LOL...my life gets funnier every day..of course I am always smiling..lol!

Remember how I told ya'll how sweet he was last weekend..bought drinks for the whole crew and went home txting and calling me about how much he liked me. He also invited me to dinner this week and told me how much he really wanted to be in a relationship with me...and didn't understand how come I wouldn't give him a chance. LOL

LAST NIGHT, I told him not to call me..that my spirit didn't agree with something about him and that he was acting waaay tooo into me...waaay too early!!!

THIS MORNING, I got 3 calls from NEW-NEW BOY and then a call from his GIRLFRIEND ....boy-ppl kill me! LMBO!

Sometimes you just have to go with your gut...and be glad you did it!

Another note:

This new guy (some bouncer dude) I met called me..and invited me to lunch. I am home for the day so I say ok...and then while I was taking a little siesta...I get a few txts from him (sexual innuendos about licking and tasting and all this crap)

I called him back to say that I wasn't sure if I wanted to go...

He does not pick up. Then came this txt war below:

Me: I don't want to go anymore.
Him: We should still go, it will be fun.
Me: "I'm good..I think I am getting better at recognizing your type.
Him: Aww, I'm a good dude"
Me: "Oh yeah, then why don't you explain to me why you are txting me instead of returning the call
Me:"Actually, don't bother..I don't want to talk or go out with you ...like I said I know your type....and it isn't MY TYPE!
Him: my mom fell and I have to take her to the hospital.

LOL...this guy was an idiot..glad I am skipping over this one, too! DELETED THE # propmtly!

Trying to set those standards, people!!! I am totally not doing it...in 2009

TAKE HOME LESSONS:

1. It is ALWAYS a bad sign when you get a call from your new-new boy's girlfriend!
2. It is almost ALWAYS a bad sign when a guy txts u back (without reason) after a call.
3. It is ALWAYS a bad sign when someone that you just met sends you "NASTY" txts...not a good dude...CUT HIM OFF EARLY and press DELETE! It is the best way to stop attracting douchebags!

I'm out.

--Danie

P.S. I know there are good dudes out there, somewhere! LOL. I just know it! :-)

Carrying around way too much Baggage...in my 10lb purse!

Short and sweet...I promise.

I was reading a short article on women and their handbags on suite101. This article noted that a report by Daily Mail found the contents of many women's bags weighed somewhere between 2.5 to 5kg. That is 5-10 lbs!!!! Of course, the take-home message here was that we can cause severe long-tem skeletal and muscular damage to our bodies. But the first thing that came to mind for me was...if we carry that much baggage around on our shoulders...how much more baggage are we carrying in our minds?

So I took a moment to look in my own oversized bag of the moment. The contents are below:

1. Love in the Time of Cholera (book...a big book)
2. A brush
3. A little pink change purse
4. A make-up palette (Bronze Pop...eyes, lips and cheeks in one)
5. A camera and its case
6. My head scarf
7. 8 pens
8. A belt
9. Vitamins
10. Mascara
11. Eyeshadow
12. 2 notepads
13. house keys
14. car keys (even though I took the train today)
15. My Mac foundation
16. My ipod
17. My phone
18. My planner

I am sure that my purse is leaning closer to that 10 lb mark...and the entire train ride, I was thinking about....just about...everything!!!

So I am going to take a moment...and I invite you to do so as well. Take a deep breath and convince yourself...that whatever is stressing you isn't really that deep!!

If it is a "man-boy" or bills or some hurdle that you just can't see over...breathe it out...(possibly look for a salsa class or a yoga class to join for cheap)..and try again.

I'm out!

--Miss Danie B.

Cause ya'll know that I am random....

Two things I have to note:

1. I believe the spot to be tonight is Bowlmor Lanes near Union Square, because its "Classic"'s event...and they are usually poppin!

2. The Smart Ones Breakfast sandwich is really good!!!

That is all...

I do have a small update about men-ppl...but I have to let it marinate first...check in a little later...lol!

Listening to: For the love of you by the Isley Brothers...this song begs for a lazy sunday, laying in bed, soaked in sunshine!!!!

New Spot

I had the opportunity to check out The Underground Lounge in Murray Hill. I ran into a bunch of really cool people. So I want to send a shout-out to Amanda (celebrating her birthday, in "get-em-girl"style!) and the rest of the Sony Music crew...you guys had the spot jumpin'! I also want to say hanging with the beer-pong crew (NYU and Cornell's coolest research-heads) before we previewed the birthday-party side...was hilarious! The lounge is adorable, with lots of room (obviously) and its a great after-work spot for affordable drinks. It is near a movie theater and lots of cute restaurants. The bartenders are friendly, funny AND cute...and seriously, how often do you get that?

So check the place out...

Question for the Ladies

If you could choose seven words to express what you want in a man, only 7.....
How would you describe him?

Mine: deliciously funny balancing work and love easily

The Perfect Date

Boy meets Girl. Boy takes girl on date. Boy pays for dinner. Boy buys girl's friend's a few drinks.  Boy takes girl home in HIS car. Boy goes home. Boy calls girl to say good night.

I like this new breed of guys.  The guy that can function on his own, does not need you to "drop him home" or try to stop by your apartment for a "quick nap" ,but instead will gladly pay for your cab after dinner and a movie.  The guy who knows that he is there to compliment you, not take over your space.  The guy that enjoys attending the work functions and can appreciate the fact that you are trying to make it to 6-figures by 30!  That is the "new breed of guys" that I am totally obsessed with.  

So of course, this is related to my date with the new guy.  I finally let him take me out and it turned out he is really a nice guy!  The new boy came out to meet me at a work function.  After all, I don't know him all that well and its better to meet him with others around. He was well-received.  He offered to buy a round of drinks for the group, and then checked in with me to see if I needed anything and left me to network! 

Then he made sure I ate dinner, got home safely and promptly returned to his own abode before wearing out his welcome mat!!!

Loved it, just loved it!

Little Black Dress and "Donkey Balls"

It happened again...I was walking in the street with a girlfriend of mine and experienced nothing but hoots and hollas...all because I wore a little black dress to work today! Ladies, never underestimate the power of the walk, the talk or the dress that covers everything but opens them all up to wonder what is underneath!

This story does not have a happy ending, though!!! All the hoots and hollas...all the cat calls, "Ey Girl", whispers and "psst..." and not ONE had the the balls to say hello (or walk up and prove that they had more that 3 words in their vocabulary)!!! Standing there with blank looks and wide eyes, slightly hunched over...I'd have to say these guys looked like they were holding their own "Donkey Balls" (see definition below)


So we laughed and kept WALKING AWAY...which shows me a couple of things:

1. "Some dude" (see definition below) has to step his game up...because the ladies of 2009..don't think cat calls are cute anymore...

2. "Some dude" will remain "Some dude" until he decides to think of himself as more than just a *smart* donkey, to be used for rides and constantly getting beat for their stubborness.

3. If Steve Harvey is right when he says that we, the ladies, are not "setting the standard"...than "Some Dude" better watch out...because we are SETTING THE STANDARD in 2009 and looking to find "The Dude" (see definition below)

In short, if he thought I was really h-o-t-t...then he would have rid himself of the "donkey balls" and acted like a grown man...and spoken up..

But since he was too busy holding his donkey balls...I just KEPT WALKING!

WTH am I saying about myself if I was interested in a cat-calling idiot? I would be saying....this isn't 2009...the year of EXPECTATIONS and SEXPECTATIONS...the ladies have spoken..we are asking for both!!!

Definitons:

"Donkey Balls" -- the reproductive organ of an occasionally aggresive, nomadic animal that is not
known for his intelligence. An animal that enjoys conveying his points through
"breying" and shaking his hooves in the air. This animal however, is not
known to have any significance except for its durability while being ridden far
distances.

"Some Dude" -- the guy who is the last to get his phone call returned because you don't think he
is seriously pursuing you or anything else in his life.
-- the last guy on the totem pole
-- the guy you secretely make fun of with your friends...when the new guy comes
around

"The Dude" -- the one who matters
-- the first guy on the totem pole (and the only pole you are interested in climbing)
-- the guy you never talk about with your friends..and the one who keeps new
guys from taking up his space!

New note on random boy...

Now...Back to our regularly scheduled Programming...


So I ended up talking to this guy for a full 2 hours yesterday and I had an epiphany. I was very short, almost mean in my conversation with him...practically calling him a liar at every turn! I told you he was silver-tongued...and it was really starting to get on my nerves, because I didn't know if any of his conversation was real!! Then I thought of my Keri Hilson theme song and decided to be a little nicer, relax my voice into thoses soothing tones (yes we all know we have them) and draw him into conversation about his background, goals and desires.

The epiphany: He was more interested in the conversation because it took him soooo long to get me to relax and talk. He treasured every second of it, lapping my words of like water. It was hilarious... I guess...YOU HAVE TO BE A LITTLE MEAN TO THEM AT FIRST, SO THEY APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU ARE GIVING THEM AFTERWARDS...

Maybe I just give in too easily most of the time...because it seemed odd that I wasn't beeing my "sugary-sweet" self. It seemed odd to be sooo spicy with someone so new...but he can't stop calling me for more of it!!!

Poor thing, he has no idea that I really mean it when I say I am using him as a social experiment!!

Note of Importance: Goats do Roam Wine

I think we need a commercial break from these conversations about the leeches we are trying to avoid and the real men we desire....so here is a quickie comment about a cause I am really interested in sharing with my peeps...

I am putting this thought out there for all wine-lovers or wine gift-givers and the rest of you! There is a great wine, under $10,that actually has a great purpose. Goats Do Roam is a one of South Africa's best-selling wines and a popular but in other areas of overseas.

Now I am asking that we bring it to the table over here...and in a hurry!!!

I can speak for the red, personally. It is a delicious blend of seven different grapes, full-bodied and smooth. It's cheap. But most importantly, some of the profits from this wine (all, not just the red) go to an organization called Kids for Kids. Kids for Kids is helping to provide goats to families in Darfur, the battle-scarred region in Sudan where almost a quarter-million of the population has been killed and others are fleeing the country for safety.

Those that do remain, who may not have the resources to leave or would like to stay to fight for peace in their homeland...need our help.

If we can do something small, by supporting this one brand of wine for a little while....Shouldn't we do it without a question???

You can find this wine at Whole Foods (for all of you New Yorkers...there is a relatively new one located in Chinatown) and certain selected stores in the city. I posted a pic of the place I bought it from, right on 2nd Ave and 82nd Street. I picked up for a gathering at a friend's house...and they absolutely loved it!!!

So try it...

For more information about the organization... check out http://www.kidsforfids.org/

New Random Boy

I am on the phone with this new boy...a youngun...3 months younger to be exact. I am working, reading, typing, tweeting, and blogging....lol Anyway about the youngun, he seems nice but the you-go-boy-lines come out of him mouth like butter!! So I don't trust him...but I am going to be nice because My Keri Hilson song says to be nice...lol. I am just sayin....cute, silver-tongued and single...in NY, impossible!!!

I will keep you updated..he is trying to convince me to go on a date with him this weekend..lol

Knocks you down

Sooo....

I was listening to the Keri Hilson album, "In a Perfect World" and I decided that I am going to pick a new theme song. I love the song "Knocks you down" with Kanye & Neyo...it is a really positive song and speaks to those of us who are just a little bit (or A LOT ) pissed off about the lack of good men in this world. The song tells you when love knocks you down, just get back up. So since I am not so good with long term goals...I am going to keep this theme song for a week! If I slip up and start boy-hatemail..just remind me..lol!

Try the album...it was a pleasant surprise.

On Steve Harvey's book

I am SLOWLY reading "Act like a lady, think like a man" by Steve Harvey. But, I am a little disturbed. In the first few chapters, he is talking about love. Love! Being in love is the last thing on my mind!!! I want to know why I am am successful, beautiful, understanding and ALONE!!! Do you feel me ladies?? I think another book might be needed for the 20-something crew who isn't chasing after married men, unavailable men or a-holes!!! For the girls who just want to know which of the "regular" guys to cut from the team in the 50 day trial period...before it gets deep enough to wonder if he is in love and all that!!! I might just have to write a "Strawberry letter" about these triflin' 20-something dudes ... trying to look for the girl that can break some master code that we have no idea about.

All the men but the right one!

So...the scariest thing about writing a blog about men (or your experiences with them) is that if you find the right one..and he has already read your blog..he knows how crazy you really are!  Of course, as it turns out I am not very close to finding the right one...so for now I will put that disturbing thought underneath my bed!!!!  Today's events just prove that fact!

I am absolutely nuts...

I ran downstairs to grab some lunch and I have to admit that I have my DIVA phernomenon (pheromone + phenomenon)  all over me today! It does not seem to matter, however..because by the time I got back upstairs, I had been completely disgusted with the "other species".

All the wrong guys checked me out:

1. The old guy escorting his wife into the hospital (turned his neck so far behind, I thought it was going to snap)

2. The food vendor ( He was already hitting on a lady when I got there, then turned to her and told her he had a DREAM that a supermodel was going to stop by him today, and looked at me)

3.  The McHottie doc who commented on my outfit and tried to extend conversation before I walked off in a hurry after a "ring sighting".

I just don't understand!!!  The 2000 census said that in New York, of the approximately 8,000,000 people who live here,  about 47% are men and 52% are women.  Now that just does not make any sense.  We are practically in a 1:1 ratio....but I have not been "found" by an intelligent, God-fearing, successful, good-looking man who understands 8-letter words and values the possibility of upward mobility!!! Honestly, it is preposterous!!!

New York State of Lies

So here's the problem....I wrote my first blog, swearing up and down I would tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God!  It was a lie.  I didn't tell you why it was absolutely necessary that I write about this guy.  He was sweet and cute and all that...but the thing is there was one HUGE difference about him that I really didn't focus on until we saw the pictures...two days later.  

Do you remember that episode of Girlfriends where Joan is dating a guy who is wearing a girdle?  That was the joke I have been living down ever since we left the party.  My "Adorable Guy" had hips and a butt that could contend with mine!  Trust me, that is a feat....

I liked it, though.  I think it was cute in a teddy bear sort of way.  He was cuddly and just because he is a little wider around the hips does not necessarily imply that he has a dangerously higher level of estrogen than the normal man (and yes they all have a little bit)!  

Annnnd....I think it made him a better dancer!  I am sure of it.  My big-booty "Adorable Guy" swung my entire upper body back as if we were re-enacting the "Nobody puts Baby in the Corner" scene in Dirty Dancing.

And if a guy can pull a Patrick Swayze...doesn't he at least deserve a call back? 

So, let me know what you think...Is a big booty a reason to take a guy off of your roster??? 

Salacious...sex...or imagination

I met this "adorable" guy on Saturday night. OK, wait a minute! Let me back up a second!!! I am mad as hell at myself for starting my first blog on Onsugar...talking about some dude!!!!
Necessary Note: In 2009, I will think about myself first...and any dude who gets into my space will remain in the "some dude" category until I think he is good enough to meet my mother!!!!!!! (yea...lets see how long that lasts)
Beginning Again:
So my girls and I had an all out LADIES night this weekend. We went to the First Saturdays party at the Brooklyn Museum. This has to be one of the hottest scenes I have found in a while. There were all kind of people at this spot. Hip hop heads, punk junkies, The MBA-stamped wall street walkers, wallflowers, flower-children, and all the other inhabitants of BK you can imagine. The guys were for the most part (I think I am allowed to mention them now...its been a few minutes...lol) were really good looking! That was an impressive fact all on its own. The females were steppin' out in true Brooklyn-style (flats and flirty tops) and everybody seemed ready to take in all of the hype! It was an interesting scene. You can walk around a view all of the exhibits, listen to a live jazz band downstairs or head up to the upper floor for beer and wine and a live DJ.
Of course, I had to take all of this in in the first 15 (and last 15) minutes because I was LATE. My homegirl came to pick me up and cart me off to what I was claiming was going to be the hottest party of the year (so far)..but when she got there I wasn't ready!!! It wasn't my fault either! How the hell are you supposed to dress for a party that caters to everyone???! Exclusivity makes things easier. The "no tims and jeans", or "no hats, or "only heels" rules in clubs...at least give us partyheads some guidance. Geez. LOL.

So anywayzzzz..we got there at about 10:45 pm, and at 11pm they shut the doors and in one foul swoop, got the enitre crowd out of the front door! So when we were takin gour leave and "catchng the sites"...well that was when I met the "Adorable guy" and his friend "the dred". They seemed cool and joined us on our quest to find the "real" after-party for this place (b/c there were like 29 after-parties for this party). We stopped at Abigail's (This bar is named Abigail..but I don't like the sound of it without the 's) on Classon Ave. We had a just-enough-to-get-u-toasted bottle of wine.

Necessary Note: this guy friend of mine told me that "Real Men don't drink wine"...and I don't know how I feel about that statement. I mean, am I supossed to only talk to guys who want to swallow liters of hennessey???

After Abigail's we headed to Fulton Street and hit Autour du Monde..for the after party. So "Adorable guy" finally takes his over-the-top-UsherRaymond-fitted-cap-and-shades off and I have a tipsy discovery.....WOW, he really is cute! And then we start dancing in the hot and sweaty basement-party-like atmoshpere...and the drinks start to flow. I forget all about "Adorable Guy" and my girls and I jump from guy to to guy (looking for that one good "grind-superstar" of the night) taking pictures halfway through. Then it happens, we all get our first prize dancers...exchange numbers (or just take the number) and hit the streets...leaving them behind. If we wake up and remember their names...they may get a call..but probably not!

As for the party and the after-party...4 Brownie points...we will see you there again in May!!!

And so...the search begins....I am looking for that ALIEN Boy...the one with manners, who walks on the right side of the sidewalk, 6' and up, a mini-potbelly, thunder between his thighs, lips you would kill-to-kiss, no baby-mama drama and a face thats cute without shades..or a hat...oh and yea, A JOB!

If I find him...and don't like him...I'll post him...maybe he's your type and not mine..I learned how to share in Kindergarten...and still sharin, ladies...they do it to us...let's turn the tables on these mofo's!
