I don’t know why I keep going to the Panera in
Pikesville. Well cause it’s the Panera
and a good sandwich or soup or salad is always good idea. But for the life of me why do all of the
geriatrics and people who don’t know how the pick up your food line works have
to be there when I go. So they call #454
the woman sees her food and is like perplexed about it and then she says to her
friend I think that is mine. I need for
her to go pick it up because I don’t want her to stand there when they call 455
which is my number. Then after I get my
food I go and sit near some Delta’s who are discussing reclamation. Something I guess we all go through. A little elderly lady walks up with her cane
puts it across the table and says I need this table. No one is fussing or arguing with her. The Delta’s are like OK! So then she says well can you ladies make
sure no one take this table and they say sure no problem. THEN, this lady sits down which confuses the
hell outta of all of us. You just made a
declaration that this is YOUR table so why then did you sit down? I think she
was waiting for someone but no one ever came while I was there.
My Res Pandora station seldom disappoints me. Today is one of those days I feel a little
bad for my cubemates. I am singing right
along with EVERYTHING!! And they just played some songs I haven’t heard in a
while!! It is taking a lot to not be
like YASSSSS!!!!
So this past week was a really good one. I went to see
The Read do a live podcast at Goucher College.
I still contend that Baltimore audiences ae not nearly as hype as
others. I have attended the same show in
DC and the crowd be hype as hell. But
anyways I had a good time. I adopted the
kids that were in front of me in the long line.
It started out with 2 girls and 2 guys (I guess they were parking the
car) came up. And I’m not entirely sure
how it started but they started looking at stuff on the phone and I was like
wait I can’t see! I am truly my mother’s
child when it comes to befriending folks.
I went by myself because I honestly don’t know anyone who listens to the
podcast and would have enjoyed it. I
have to re-listen to it on soundcloud.
Then last Thursday I went to the Howard Theatre to see Foreign Exchange. This time by myself because I’m not sure if
any of my friends know who they are and I didn’t feel like organizing. Parking is always a challenge but I always
seem to find good parking. I checked
with the security guards (there were 4 of them standing there) actually they
were watching my every move which was a little unnerving but I still flashed my
smile and said hey fellas is it ok if I park here. Then the little one (cause the little one is
always the boldest) says oh yeah you’re good.
I say thank sand then he’s like well we all can accept a $10 tip. I said how about a smile and a thank
you. He was like yeah that works too!! I
get to the theater and there is a line and I am thankful I threw on the pink
chucks. I know it’s going to be standing room which is bull shit cause who
wants to be standing. Anyway there are a
few couples but I’m standing behind this cutie who is tall, bald with the grey
at his temples and has a great beard.
NOW I have come to realize the things that attract me to men have
changed since I was younger. All I got to say is grey is good!! I am trying to
figure out his deal because he stepped out of the line clearly waiting for
someone. I go on in and still fussing in
my head about the standing room. I get
situated by the steps. I need a place to
lean and sit it needed. I get my 1
little drink and post up and enjoy the sights.
Foreign Exchange draws a large straight men crowd and this makes me
happy. The guy who was outside is near
me did end up with a woman but I knew that wasn’t his date just the way they
interacted she was doing her thing and so was he… I started to do some hating
on the girl who I don’t even know and I really had to catch myself!! I didn’t know that chick and she wasn’t
bothering me but women… we can do that and not even be able to admit why. She did have on this crazy outfit but if she
felt comfortable showing all her cellulite then who am I to judge?!? I know
that was petty LOL ANYWAYS another woman comes and stands near me by the
steps. And then the crowd fills up. At one point I see her get annoyed and I am
feeling her pain. For whatever reason,
all the tall men in DC decided to stand in front of us. I tap her and say why are all the tall guys
right HERE!! She was like RIGHT and all
the tall men seem to know each other!! I can see the stage and they have
monitors so it really was ok. The show
was AWESOME!! Phonte is the front man
and just keeps the flow of the concert going.
And then ALL of the men around me are singing loud and off key AND
dancing!! Now some of the songs from the more recent cd’s I know but then some
of the older ones I didn’t. I ended up
getting 4 cd’s including the newest by Zo! SkyBreak. Yeah you just gonna have to google it all and
or trust me when I say you missing out if you don’t know these people!
I am ready for the festivaling this summer. 1st stop Capital Jazz! I am going Friday and Saturday and might go Sunday
if I can think about it real good and/or if someone already got me a
ticket!! The Summer Spirit fest with
Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and nem… LOL I am ready!!
