| Quiet simply dealing with a lot that, I've been so quick to overlook. Went to church this morning, it was cool. But made me think, time to be a bit more...proactive, in dealing. Tomorrow just isn't promised, I think it'll come, I'm pretty sure I'll make it to see it....Why drag things out? Basketballs coming on, I think I'll watch and relax. | | |
| Hmmm.. i realize in my last blog that I mentioned I'd tell everyone about Shalise. ummmmm, but why? she's not that important. hmmm I'll give you a crash course as I really don't know wat to blog about anyhow....
Shalise--pretty girl, nice girl, fun girl, but a girl none the less. Met her at a hot-tub get together at, afore-mentioned, Aaron's house this past summer. We hit things off, she told me she had a boyfriend and made sure to mention that he wasn't "doing the things he should do" So I took it for what it was worth, we spoke from time to time on myspace, she'd post all kinda crap to my wall, some friendly, some flirtatious, some a bit over the top. Point being that all of it was very public, so the whole thought of her boyfriend not "doing what he should" really made sense. things progressed and we got to a point of spending time with one another almost everyday. She came to the club while I was working, I invited her to private events as my date, we'd connected and things seemed to be right. A couple weeks into the dating she decides to be completely honest with me and her relationship with her other half. It turns out that he wasn't doing the things that he was supposed to do because he was in IRAQ! LMAO! I'll spare you the details, unless they're requested, but needless to say, she's no more than a faint memory to me. Ugly personality and characteristics when faced with serious problems. NEXT...
the weekend was pretty interesting, The Pacquiao fight was ridiculous and I'll be collecting 100bucks from it pretty soon! lol George Wilson and Marcus Buggs of the Buffalo Bills where in town and my homegirl Remy was showing them around the city, so we all kinda kicked it all weekend, friday at Love, Saturday at Layla. Really cool dudes. Looking forward to my 5.13 launch party at Skye Lounge! Scott's on board, trying to get Jin to sponser the event with Balinoff Vodka. Busy but not, ya'know? when there's something going on, it seems like things are moving 1,000 M.P.H. but when they aren't we're moving slower than a fat chick on a treadmill. Looking for some consistancy. | | |
| %^#Deep Breath@#*....I did some bitch shit a couple mins ago. My facebook account has been disabled and I've spent the past 2 days sending emails, emails, emails and more emails in an attempt to get it back. I'm fucked royally ! all of my contacts are within facebook! Not being online simply cripples my ability to promote. So in an attempt no not lose ALL of my money for the week, I looked thru my notebook of b'days that I'd be hosting at Love on friday, and began to think, "HMMMMMM, how can I get in touch with these people in order to let them know that even tho I'm not on facebook, I can still host the party for them, and all they needed to do was send their guestlist to my email addy." So I used everything I could think of and it came to me: "hey, I have Aaron's facebook login & password...Time to put that shit to use!" so I got onto his account and searched for the person I was looking for with the b'day. Found her the went ahead and sent her a note, explaining my situation. I went to his inbox to delete the sent note and noticed that he was having a convo with Shalise. They're friends, Shalise and I are somewhat Ex's (I'll use another post to explain our relationship-the rise, the fall and the bullshit there after) so I thought nothing of it, but the preview had my name in it, so I decided to take a look. "I don't see what it is that draws people to him" "He has serious character flaws that need to change ASAP" "He completely turned his back on me"....I might have expected it from Shalise, but coming from Aaron, its really fucked up, but I have a feeling I know where it stems from. Aaron and I struggled at Morgan State together, I admit that I slept on his couch for a couple months because I had a rat in my apartment (but hell I bought food, and shit to drink as if it was my house), we both worked at Best Buy, getting the same shitty pay, hoping to find a side hustle to get some extra cash. I chose to promote nightclubs, while he chose to be a bouncer. Aaron is now a promoter (my doing might I add) because he chose NOT to take my advice! He was bouncing and had just got a consistent gig at a nightclub called '24' Inauguration time rolled around and an opportunity came up for him to work an Inaugural event, well I would hardly even call it that, he was just standing outside of some restaurant, where they apparently didn't need any help because they let him go early EVER night! But anyhow, he asked me what he should do: The Inaugural event would pay $50 more than his regular event and he was wondering if he should take the Inaugural event. I told him "It's a no-brainer, forget about the Inaugural event. If you blow 24 off, they're going to remember that and you're going to fuck up your money." He didn't listen and went to the Inaugural event, and what do ya know 24 gave him a big "fuck-you" and he had no way to get any kind of money. And since I'm venting! I really really really really really didn't appreciate the Ft. Lauderdale trip and the shit that he pulled there. So his parents have a condo in Ft. Lauderdale, and he invited me to go spend a week down there with him. I initially agreed, because he'll the trip would be cool, I'd never been to Ft. lauderdale, and fuck it, all I really had to pay for was flight and car. So I'm asking him about the trip, like what he plans to do? has he ever been? Whats around the condo? and the more I spoke to him the less appealing the trip became, so I told him that my money was tight and I couldn't make it. But my dumb-ass had already invites a couple chicks to go, and he was talking about splitting the trip on various credit cards, and I felt like I had somehow been responsible for motivating the trip so, what the hell I went. I paid for my flight the only thing left to pay for was the car rental. The girls go to florida after us, so they called me when they got the airport, so i asked Aaron "Yo, where are the keys? I'm about to go get Medea" he gives me this look and goes "hold on here I come." dude is clearly laying down and falling asleep, so I go, "I know how to drive its cool, you don't have to get up" hesitantly he tells me where the keys are, so I already know where this is leading, there's gonna be some bullshit with the car. Whatever! So I get the girls back and we're looking thru the condo, and there's nothing to eat or drink and four grown as people so the girls and I go to the store. We bought $300 worth of groceries for our 5 day trip (Steak, pasta, salad, extra virgin olive oil, ground beef, Di'Gornio pizza's, White Castle burgers, we weren't being too cheap), and we also bought another $275 in liquor, NONE of which he put a penny in on, BUT he ate, his girlfriend that was in the area ate. He drank (had a whole bottle of Johnny Walker Red Label that I paid for, to himself), his girlfriend drank too! We went to the Casino and he lost ALL his money, but I gave him $100 so that he could continue losing money. We went to Miami, I put the gas in the car, drove and paid to have the car valet parked, I got us VIP band at Karu & Y and drinks! The final day of the trip we all decided to go to Miami, and check out Ocean Ave. The only thing he paid for was his $5 wet willies drink! I paid for everyone's dinner that we had at Sea Cafe' and bought a bottle of Rose' Moet for the table, Then we went to the Starlite and I bought, not one, but two hookahs. I fucking made that trip! he didn't say thank you or anything! He ate like 4x at day, Including eating EVERYONE'S leftovers! He didn't pay for shit, and all I was asking was that he take care of paying for the rental. it was 250 bucks! and he couldn't fit the bill for that? Any stand up guy would! Not Aaron tho, but I didn't complain at all, I simply gave him the cash when we got back to DC and chalked it up, Fuck it, I'm bigger than $250. Now back to what i was saying about seeing this shit coming. So yea, I've been promoting for a little more than a year now, he just started promoting, he's maybe 4 months deep. I know where I was when I was 4 months deep, I wasn't getting paid, and I was always upset because I felt like I was doing all I can to bring people out, but I wasn't getting the kind of response I wanted, and thats exactly where he is. Well I'm looking to move on, so I've reached out to a couple of owners about hosting my own party, and I've gotten a really good response, I'll be hosting my first party thursday at a place called Ozio's. Aaron is cool, and he wants to really start promoting, so I thought this'd be a good way to show him what a meeting with an owner is like, wtf! I don't care! Sall of Ozio's gave me a really good deal, part of the door and part of the bar, needless to say that I was excited. The same could be said for Aaron. After the meeting he approaches me like "So, if this works out do you want to be business partners?" I looked at him and said "No, absolutely not! I want you to get your own company, your own promoters, make a name for yourself" perhaps it wasn't interpreted the right way, and of course part of it would have to be my fault because we all know, I'm blunt, very blunt, I'm only tactful if the thought to be tactful comes to mind. I didn't want to tell Aaron that I don't see him as a peer as far as our status as promoters, because I felt that he already knew that, and to say it would be harsh. Aaron ask for my approval far too much, asks' for my opinion too much, he even sent me a note say "rather you like it or not you're my mentor with this promoting shit" So why would I make him my partner? Why would I split half my money with someone who is incapable of providing half of what I can provide? It doesn't make sense. So much is running thru my mind right now, I really want to approach him about it, but then again it's like why? I've known this was coming, I've know that he's had hard feelings about how I handle my business of promoting, I even had suspicions that he might've been a bit jealous that Shalise and I dealt with one another. But I never mentioned any of it, I swept it all under the bridge, but now, I have confirmation of whats on his mind. I know I'm a dickhead at times, and I don't care, but I'm never bashful about letting people know where I stand when asked or provoked. I suppose I'll remain quiet about things and just see how things play out, but as I said before, so much going on in my head, people smile in your face, This dude is made because I'm not giving him the game? thats that bullshit! And talk about me behind my back to a bitch!? Talkin so much shit about me in barber shops, they forget to get they hair cut. but I'ma handle it. the wheels are turning.
Tomorrow is The story of Shalise...I guess I'm back on my Xanga shit! I'll be checkin up. | | |
| Last night was Scott's b'day party at LOVE, it was crazy to say the least! we did atleast 2,000 people before midnight, needless to say I was running around everywhere trying to take care of everyone that I possibly could. I love it and I hate it, but there are worse jobs to have. lol My night ended with me Standing on top of the bar pouring the last bit of my bottle of Ciroc into some chicks mouth. Good times! Playoffs are here, I'll be in today, chillen watching games. | | |
| **I'm going to act like have been posting regularly, and not address my hiatus. lol
Soooo, I chat automatically comes on whenever I turn my Mac on, and thats pretty cool! it's like 3am and I can't sleep so fuck it, I open up Itunes and start playin some songs. Out of nowhere Ro hits me up like "ummmm, what are you listening to right now?" I reply "how tha hell you know I'm listening to something?" "She goes because I'm outside your door listening to your tunes" WTF??? Needless to say I didn't respond, because Ro is kinda crazy and might really be outside my door. another text IM pops up saying "I heart the J.B.'s too, Burning up is the shit!"...I spent the last 11mins trying to figure out how she knew, or where she might be. Come to find out, I had my available status set to "Current ITunes song" Gooooooood ONE Ro'. Shame one me. | | |
