Alright. I think I’m feeling it.

Feeling it? What in the holy hell am I talking about? I’m feeling the Updating bug. I just took a glance at some of my entries when I actually sat down and wrote things and I amazed and amused at it. I actually figured something’s out. When I go back and read these wacky accounts of my life and my journies I realize that I am actually learning something when I stop and compose these rants and raves. I ACTUALLY learn. I need to keep close to these things because otherwise I forget what made me reach the point I’m at and occasionally regress.

No more. I say. A NEW DAY IS BORN.

Bleh. Why do I go on like that? Anyway. I’ve just done something fairly…er….stupid? I went out over the weekend and tried to pick up some ladies.(my GOD that sounded cheesey) and although it wasn’t the best of evenings I did get a couple of numbers. But in the end there is only one number that was of any importance. Its amazing that I even met her in the first place.

Dogg, Man-Whore, and I (don’t you love the name I have for my friends) went out to a popular spot in Brooklyn called ‘Moes’. The place was absolutely packed. Mostly dudes by the way, but there was enough women that it wasn’t really a problem. But I wasn’t worried by these guys at all. The real issue was breaking through the wall’o’guys to get my chance. There was the Future Lawyers(one had a boyfriend, but she wasn’t cute anyway, and the other one, didn’t seem interested in me at all. I tried to be cool but I don’t’ think it worked very well. The one with a boyfriend recognized me from the restaurant. Seems she was a regular there at one point. I was trying to get her to bring her friend to the spot so I could hit on her.) totally gave me a complex. Girls 3 months from the bar, and me, ‘No-Degree boy’. Bleh. Bothers me sometimes. Anyway. Then there was the angry women. They didn’t take well to Man-Whore and I trying to break into there conversation. So the night was seeming pretty much a wash when I decided to try again, with my boy Dogg with me, acting as wing man. There were two girls that I thought were cute, and I figured I had to jump in their conversation. Man-Whore has a sweet move where he says ‘I’m sorry to interrupt you ladies, but can I ask what you guys are talking about?’ It really works well if, 1) The girls seem really happy and joking, and 2) if they seem upset. If they are all middle of the road then its bad. You seem like you’re grasping for straws. Anyway, the situation in which I was in the girl seemed kinda angry, which works. I ask Dogg which one he wants to talk to and in his usual subdued Jamaican voice he replies,

“I guess I’ll take the girl in with the pink frilly dress thing.”

Now the thing is that I wanted to talk to her but the other one was cute too so it wasn’t a bad thing, I just was kind of gravitating to the pink frilly dressed one, but fine I’ll go with the furry jacket girl. But in true Pop Culture fashion I responded,

“Good, cause I’ll take anything.”

Yes I watch WAY too much TV.

So I go in…

“I’m sorry to interrupt but, can I ask what you guys are talking about?’

Man. At this point you can totally be shot down and blown off. But it’s a risk yaGOTTA take.

“Should we tell them? Frilly Pink dress girl asks her friend? The friend shakes her head like ‘Whatever.’ So she starts explaining how she was upset that they don’t meet guys who have a passion about what they do. Guys don’t seem to work as hard as they do. So now since there talking to us I go into full Breezy mode.

“Passion? You want PASSION? Let me introduce you guys to my good friend DOGG! THIS MAN has PASSION.”

They start to giggle and laugh. We have a BREAK THROUGH PEOPLE. STAND BACK.
So then we continue. We talk about a number of things, but we don’t talk to the proper girls. It seems that Pink Frilly Girl is way more like me than she is Dogg. She’s all sweet and happy for the most part. She is totally experiencing my want to leave the country, cause she never has, JUST LIKE ME. She does Graphic Design (I had to literally hide the smile.) and she just seemed like an all around nice person. The other one was more gritty. She was all hardcore and pissed with a dry wit. I totally would have dug that as well but it just didn’t work out that way. I found out that Pink frilly girl also works in midtown. Not too far from me so I totally told we should ‘Do lunch’ and she was like ‘Yeah we should when it gets warm ‘(so we can hang around the park she works by. So I ask Pink frilly girl for her number and she gives it. I invited her to the restaurant and everything. She seemed interested. . I was pleased. Dogg asked Dark Witty Girl for her number but she said for him to give his to her. Around this point Dogg does something fairly stupid.

“I know you’re not going to call me.”

Ladies and Gentlemen: Was this the most idiotic possible comment he could have made? I WOULD LIKE TO ARGUE IT IS. Why did Dogg do this? I don’t fricken know. But her response was classic..

“Wow that was self deprecating.”

Is it me or is that a cool ass response. He set himself up. You don’t respond like that. I don’t know what he was thinking but it wasn’t the smartest of ideas. We soon departed and that was that.

So today NYC was RIDICULOUSLY warm. I figure I have no choice but to call this girl. I gotta make a play, while I’m even remotely still on her mind. I take like an hour and a half to even call this girl and when I do I get the voicemail anyway, which I KNEW was going to happen. And ofcourse I leave possibly the worst Voicemail EVER. I called and stumbled all over my words, then I say give me a call and read my number to her(but I don’t know my own number since I never DIAL it, so I have to read it off my phone, but I had her number on the screen) and I read HER NUMBER! I have to apologize, and re-read my number and sound like a complete jackass. But in the last seconds of the voicemail I remember that a lot of systems let you erase your message! So I hit the asterisk and here the greatest words I’ve ever heard….

“Message Deleted”

I almost wet myself I was so happy. I tried like 4 more times and failed on each attempt. The voicemail system eventually just kicked me out and I just haven’t called her back yet. I didn’t want to be an ass and call right back (cause she would see 2 missed calls from the same number and see its ME) so im going to try in another 20 minutes since its been like an hour since the last time I called. ANNNND I’m going to call from a different number so I can disclaim any knowledge of the other number.

Done.
