this is the life i lead.

so, last night i go for some drinks & dinner w/a friend.
it was early when we parted ways
so i headed over to my best friend's house.


J's all "i am tired but i wanna go out."
and i'm all "i am down for whatever."


so whatever it was. we headed out to
south beach to our usual sunday night
spot: Fat Tuesdays.


it was straight. same people. same drinks.
same music. it was chill but we had a blast.
[shouts to our new buddy chris by the way.]


so we head home around 2-2:30 in the a.m.
cool, i work best off of little to no sleep anyways
so i am all for living life & shit. i get my car from
J's house & roll out. i popped in the 2nd disc from
the J.Dilla discography & i'm fuckin' chhiiilllliiiinnn'.


long story & all the useless street names & turns short,
i am at a red light w/ some car creepin' up next to me.
i think nothing of it bc everyone creeps this time of
the morning around the way bc the cops are out in
full force....a few lights up i finally turn to peep who's
in the car & please, don't front like no matter how
hard you try, you ALWAYS have to see who's in the
car next to you. well, it was an ex of mine. an ex who
did ya girl SUPER dirty style & i don't even mean in a
positive way. we make eye contact & well he sped off.
he had his girl in the car & we all know what an akward
scene that would've been.


see this all could've been cool with ending right there
bbbuuuuttttt, it was just the start. so we hit EVERY
SINGLE FUCKIN' LIGHT from there on out. there
is no getting away from each other. & it's at this moment,
once we've hit the 8th light together that i realize "hey,
she lives in my neighborhood? does she? why do i feel
some kind of way about this?" so aight, ain't shit i can
do but play like i am too fuckin' cool for my own good
& speed off. WELL, a lot of good that did me when the light
turned yellow & i had to skid to a fuckin' stop bc of the
police officer chillin' on the street. right about now, i am
looking like the BIGGEST dbag [douche bag] ever. but
again, whatevs, i'm too cool for live at this moment in time.


we proceed & he cuts me off as to ensure i don't see his
girl. not that i much care bc i mean, aye do you but let's
be mature about this. [ha, yah right.] he doesn't want me
to see where they're goin' so he turns into a store & i go about
my marry way...........that is until i see red & blue lights & hear
the dreaded "beep beep".

yes, i was pulled over RIGHT IN FRONT of my neighborhood.
longer story short, she looked me out & lied for me to cut me
a break. i gots to pay no $$ or show up anywhere pleading
guilty or not. 45 mins into my swat team fun, guess who pulls
up in front of my car to turn into my neighnorhood? uh huh, you
are correct sir; the ex & his lady.

i am a weird for feeling some kind of way knowing he's dating a
girl who lives in my community & could very well be my next
door or a few doors down neighbor? no, i am not weird.....i am
human.






really, i am not too sure why it is these things happen to me
when i am alone w/no back up or witness' but it does. it happens
more often then not & i'd like to think you're all pretty jealous of
this life i lead.
