It's Been A Long Time. I Shouldn't Have Left You....

It's been a long time. I shouldn't have left you with out a dope blog to follow to.. follow to.. OK. So, I'm not Timberland. But you get the point. It's been a while and so much as happened. First, I went to a comedy club called Ha! in Time Square with my two friends from da crib, Angel and Shayla. We were walking around Time Square like tourists when a promoter asked if we wanted to see a comedy show for 10.00 each. We paid our money and were instructed to go down the stairs. At the base of the stars, we were greeted by two people who instructed us to go around back. You couldn't hear anything....nothing, not people, laughter, or rats socializing. It seemed like we were the only ones there for "the show". My first thought was that a bum conned us out of our $30 and probably sold us for a grocery cart. Our buyer would probably kidnap and turn us into comedy slaves (Only tips would by back our freedom). Now I'm not the funniest person, but I am the corniest!! My jokes would have gone something like...Your mom is so stupid that when I answered her question, Do you live in Manhattan, with a nod (indicating yes) and reply "NOHO", she slaps me and said What...ho? (NOHO = South Of Houston Street). See? I would have been stuck there forever! Just when I was about to panic, we enter a room filled with people. Ha! It does exist. The show was hilarious with a variety of comedies, who interacted with the audience. It lasted for 90mins and the nachos were awesome. Definitely worth more than $10. I will definitely go back. However, it is not meant for the political correct.

On Wednesday, Marcia and I moved into our apartment. Besides the pit falls (my feet missing carpeted floors; management's bank, New York City bank trying to collect 3600 for a check made out for $200 3x), our place is great!! Can't speak much for management, but the community, the apartment and the people are amazing. I love it! So spacious and quiet. I am so happy to have all of my things unpacked and assembled. I no longer feel like I'm on an extended vacation. I finally feel settled. After waiting all day for three days for items to be delivered and put together, and services connected, settled, is the best feeling.

Today, Michole came over to see our place. She gave her stamp of approval. We to have a bite to eat at the 24hr diner across the street. Mind you, it had just rained and I had on a skirt and flip flops. As we near the sidewalk, I slip hard. No. My life did not flash before my eyes, but a vision of me falling on the wet New York sidewalk, mixed with rain and dogs', bums', and drunkards' urine, I quickly react. I guess I still have "it" because i somehow maneuver my body so that I fall in a plank position. Only my toes and fingers tips touched the ground. I have to give my Pilate's instructor, Kristae. I haven't tripped and actually fell since senior of high school, when my foot got caught in my throw back bell bottom jeans. Corny a bit blond is more me, NOT clumsy. I wasn't concerned that my TUSH was in the air for all to see; that my thumb was bleeding profusely nor was I embarrassed by the fall. I was just so relieved that my body and clothes did not touch any part of that side walk. Dogs literally cop a squat to perform #1 AND #2 on these sidewalks. And trust they aren't the only ones!!! My dog, Picabo, would not even walk bare foot on these side walks. After I cleaned off, stopped the bleeding and myself from passing out, I enjoyed my french toast and the company of a great friends. This week, overall, has been all goo in the hood. LOL.
