Learn French

I drove to the D this weekend for two reasons. One of which became a bust. The other reason turned out much better.

I came back to get my cd changer put back in, but the place that repaired it forgot to send back the accompanying wires to the stereo shop. In short, I was fucked. Driving across state and they drop the fuckin' ball.

The other reason was to re-up with T.A.D. She just don't know. She think she know, but she just don't know.

We went to the movies to see "The Departed". Yeah, I saw it dolo a few weeks ago. Yeah, I'm a sucker, I went back. Me, the non-movie going muthafucka. I liked seeing it again. Especially liked the company.

After the flick, we went to this Cuban restaurant downtown. The ambiance was cool. The place was crowded and loud. Everytime I'm around dyed-in-the-wool Cubans, I realize how half-assed I am about that particular part of my cultural background. I don't speak Spanish, I've never eaten most of the staples of the Cuban diet, and I hate Miami.

So anyway, we wuz eatin' and talkin' and drinkin' and shit. Everything was good. I saw one of my boys in there and now he's officially suspect for reasons I ain't discussin' here. We talked a lot after we left. A whole lot. Today, I realized I wasn't on my P's and Q's at all. I was thrown off my square and dropped a gang of cool points. I know better next time.

Anyway, I think it's time I took French. I think it's about that time.

Knockout Zed said...

@Blah
Yes, I deserve everything you describe plus some.

@Chele
I think if I tried I could be more vague. I'll talk about the conversation some other time. Shit is just a little raw right now.

@Aqua
No details!!!

Dang... it can't be that bad!!???? Think about it, and get back wit us with some specifics. You have all of these un-licensed arm-chair, blog psychologists out here. Why waste us????

BZ said...

Glad you had a good time! I need to read this post on Miami cuz that's my favorite city. You said, "died-in-the-wool Cubans". HAHA! I can show you a thing or two. ;-P

Ming Houser, Realtor said...

How dare you say you don't like Miami! Don't you ever curse like that again!

Knockout Zed said...

@OneFrom
You had to be there. I was all goofy and shit. I'm embarassed by it. The more time I spend away from my people, the more I become a blathering fucking idiot.

@BZ
Miami sucks. Everytime I try to go and explore Cuban shit, I feel like I'm basically trying to subvert my Africaness. Funny it doesn't work the other way around for me.

@Dyna
You and me both had the same experience in Miami. That's where my hate stems from. Forget the sun, sand, and hot chicks. That place is forever stained in my memory.

Even grown men can become tied tongue and silly around a woman they like. You LIKE her, nothing wrong with that. Tell her and laugh about it. It ain't that serious.

Knockout Zed said...

@OneFrom
She's reading, she knows.

I'm gonna start calling you Shadowman. Superpower! He see's you but you never see him unless he steps out of the shadows.

Why don't you want anyone to see you bruh? Step out of the shadow and show thyself. Little sunlight ain't gone kill ya.

Knockout Zed said...

@Slish
Hells naw! You know better than that, Slish!

I'll stay in the shadows.

More details please.

Oh and I can give you french lessons. Je parle français il y a plusieurs ans. Si tu veut des lessons tu peut m'envoyez un courriel.

Oh and I gotta go check out that flick the departed.

Honest said...

If you were yourself and she had a good time then don't beat yourself up. So what if you lost cool points. Is that your analysis or hers?

Little Brown Girl said...

Miami? How could one not like Miami? that city is nothing but Flava...I LUV IT!!!

Dee said...

Ps and Qs are highly overrated
happy learning French
I mean what is Q anyway? It's just a wannabe K.

Knockout Zed said...

@MizJJ
Nice, Miz JJ. Very nice.

But I was talking about kissing of the French variety. I was talking about "bussin' slobs".

The last 5-10 minutes are insane in The Departed.

@Honest
It's my analysis that I lost cool points. This has been happening to me almost regular since I've been here out of social contact with people. I have an overriding need to be as candid as possible, so nothing is misconstrued. I gotta cut that shit out.

At least in this case, it wasn't anything bad.

@RD
Remember when those rotten rat bastards stole my wallet in April? That's where the venom is coming from

@GC
I might have been minding my P's, but my Q's? Fuggedaboutit.

I agree wholeheartedly: Q's are wannabe K's!!!

Knockout Zed said...

@IllNana

Knockout Zed said...

@Hassan
Yeah, I'm no longer about my business.

Blah Blah Blah said...

Aw, hell no!
REVOKED...ASAP!

Wait...I'm 'fused...you could have or couldn't have...or don't know 'cause you ain't try?

Knockout Zed said...

@Blah
