QUESTiON OF THE DAY: Do You Ever Have One Of Those Days?

Lemme lay it out play by play, kiddos. It was Wednesday. I was planning on continuing my job hunt when my mother rushes into the bathroom where I was brushing my teeth & hands me the phone. Shazzam! Just like that, I have an interview! At Steve Madden! If you know me, you know I have been saying how badly I want this job since before I got home! Okay! So now of course, I must dress the part & bring myself down to Newbury by 4:30 to see the manager. I con Daddy Lartey into driving me to the spot, & I walk in with my head held high. I walk out with a job. This excites me to my core, so much so that I decide to treat myself to a bag of Snyders Dips, which, in case you don't know, are the most delicious chocolate covered pretzels in the WORLD. So I float on to 711, feeling good cuz I have a flyy new job & looking good cuz I feel good & my shoe game is mean as ever.. grrr. Hair blowing in the breeze & all that. Skin glistening all bronze-y & all that. Lip gloss poppin & all that.

While in line, a band of men walks in & one tells me I am beautiful. I smile. Now usually, I would shut homeboy down when he asked me to take down his number, but I entertained his small talk, however small, because he was so tru. Y'know how guys tell girls they're beautiful because they tryna sleep with 'em & we're not supposed to believe them? I believed homeboy. He wasn't lying. I felt beautiful. And even as I pretended to save his number and walked out to the 39, I was a wee bit grateful for shorty. See, I already knew I was hurtin 'em when I stepped out the OC; that was the idea... look good, bag the job. But sometimes, it feels good for somebody other than moi to appreciate my flyy. And if that sounds stuck up, you already know. Personal problem, bebe*

Lunchtime With Philly, Tre, & Grandpa Goddard

I hate to post two "quote" blogs back to back, but my friends were TOO funny yesterday. So here we go.

"This is the line between the greatest... and being f*cked up. You gotta kiss the line. You can't be like "F*ck you, line!" No, you gotta f*ck wit the line."

On failing French class every semester:

"First semester, my father was like "Darren get that sh*t together." Second semester: "Darren, get that sh*t together, for real." Third semester, he was like, "that's not your sh*t. F*ck it."'

Kory Says...

Bad news, bros. I hear that Kory Campbell may be leaving me in NY next semester, and that means he will no longer be "saying." I am near tears! Who DOES this, Kory??? Anyway. Let's keep the spirits up for what may be the last Kory Says... =(

Dani- "All their weaves look good."

Kory- "Naw, f*ck no! Some b*tches weave looks terrible."

Dani- "Kory, you okay? You seem angry."

Kory- "Naw, man, I'm good. Why y'all keep askin me if I'm angry. I'm chillin! But if I am angry? Don't ask me. There's nothing that no one can do. It's in me. Only I can change my situation."

Deeeeeeeeep.
