  by: Notorious Lee Here are memorable moments of the past week, in reverse order. Monday Nite @ Bookstore: Family of three has about 3 minutes to decide what they want in the cafe before i finish the previous customer's order.
Line is slowly forming. The dialogue is as follows: mom: Is there caffeine in the Freez (blended drink). NL: If you want to yes, but we can leave it out mom: Ya, no caffeine. dad: whats the malt freeze? NL: Have you ever had malt ice cream at Baseball or Basketball games? dad: uhh...that comes with caffeine?
NL: If you want to yes, but we can leave it out, too. dad: So what is it? NL: it's like those malt ice creams, but not as thick, like a frappuccino dad: So it's thick? NL: No, it tastes like that, but its a blended drink mom: oh no.. not that dad: no wait, i'll try it... so it's thick right? NL: (now visibly irritated) NO. dad: Oh .. well i'll jsut have the freeze. chocolate. No caffeine mom: I'll have a caramel one.
what are your sizes (line is slowly extending.... now 5 people in line) mom: oh... ill take the large. finish drinks, help other customer, dad comes back dad: (shows me a half drinken drink) umm... i noticed there wasn't any coffee in this one. NL: You said you didn't want any coffee. dad: Ya.. but i wanted coffee in the caramel one. NL: But you didn't say that.
dad: oh... ya.... NL: I'll make you a new one, but you have to specify especially after you kept telling me you didn't want caffeine. dad: sorry. i feel like im their parent or something. like burrito jones says, i should take their hands and slap them after they do something stupid. Plus, with all the time to deliberate over what drinks to order and the sizes, they were unable to make a decision knowing full well that the line is getting longer and longer.
hella stupid. Go Shorty, it's Your Birthday Homie Stan celebrates his 24th birthday, with his crew thick, 15 deep in the club. True thug style. Happy B-day man. We first went to Suede, sorta yuppie "swankie" (stanky) bar in Frisco. I had a feeling it was gonna be wack upon arriving their as the owner demands that i take my head wrap off. "COMB YOUR HAIR! " The owner was bald, i wanted to say, "damn you jealous? " Males are metro as a mu'fucka, and the girls are all "ethnic.
" A friend says "This crowd is pretty mixed! not bad huh? " Thinkin: "you are one of 10 non-White men here. " 30 minutes later we head off to DNA Lounge. 5 bucks all nite with turntable friends like Apollo, Pam the Funkstress, and other locals? Can't front on that! Inside, Apollo is settin it off with the current hits, juggling "Got it Twisted. " DNA Lounge has a feel of a stereotypical club that you see in movies. Like multiple levels with people hanging and dangling over platforms and ledges. The DJ sits perfectly in the middle of the club on the ground level. Live feed is projected onto a 20 X 20 foot screen on the back wall.
But man, serious Cult of the DJ there. Interesting thing is mostly dudes watching the dj. Hi-lites of DNA Lounge: 1) "Got it Twisted"-Mobb Deep 2) "I Can't Wait" -Nu Shooz 3) Few White folks 4) Girl in white on platform Best 5 bucks spent since buying Malik Yusef's "Wouldn't You like to Ride" 12 inch. The Library is Down the Street At the bookstore, once again. There's this semi-handicapped guy who comes in all the time on weekends to listen to the music and hang out. This guy loves to hangout in the music section and listen to rap @ the listening section. He usually ends up "rapping" pretty loud, but he doesn't get the words right and really just sounds like a bunch of grunting.
He's surprisingly one of the nicer folks that frequent the store, just cuz he doesn't feel entitled to things.. like this OTHER guy. Story time! I'm heading back from the bathroom, and im stopped in the magazine section by this 40 something year old white male looking at Maxim magazine.. or Stuff.. one of those. Here is the conversation: White Guy: "Excuse me, do you work here" NL: "yes" White Guy: "Can you tell that guy (the guy mentioned above in the next isle over singing) to Shut up? I'm trying to read here" NL: (blank stare of disbelief) White Guy: (probably feeling pretty rude) oh .. umm.. well.. ya know... NL: "I'll see what i can do.
" After that i just walk into the cafe and ignore the guy. Can you believe that? What i really wanted to say was "This isn't a library dumbass" OR "Why don't you buy that magazine and read it at home, in peace and quiet? " Whats funny is that kids will be all up in those listening sections dancing and shouting "Jesus Walks" waaaay off tune, but nobody will say anything about it..probably cuz their kids...The guy singing was Black.
I'm not implying anything....but...
