I just want to include a little disclaimer before this next journal entry. Some of my dearest friends live or reside in the Dallas area…..but (and I am sure they will even have to agree) at times it can be……well…….pretentious, conceded, fake, ect…..
So the other night I attended an exchange that the school hosted at one of the local bars. Slowly but surely….more and more students started to show…..and then from out of nowhere……two younger guys appeared dressed to the nines. These kids had on $200+ designer jeans, embroidered (Long sleeves) shirts, Italian dress shoes, and more hair gel than Easy E in an NWA video. Not sure if I mentioned this yet……but it is hot here……AFRICA hot. It had to have been 85 degrees + that night…..and here Paris and Nicole are sweating their asses off, trying to look cool. Apparently they knew one of the girls in my class, so they both strolled over to say hello. During the introductions, the inevitable question “So where are you from?” was asked…..and sure as shit…..these kids were from Dallas. I got a few beers in me….cracking some jokes….and then made the comment “You fellas are a little over dressed don’t you say?”. One of them replied “You never know when you need to look good for the ladies.” Look good for the ladies??? I looked around to see if Candid Camera was going to jump out at any moment and surprise me. At this point…I did the worst thing that I could do and that was to say the first thing that came to mind. “Buddy, you would have a better chance of getting laid here if you put on a banana hammock and walked around asking all the girls if they have ever played Floss the Donkey.”
Did I mention that it was $1 beer night??
