The weekend after Mavs Loss...a spanish dance!

Let me start by saying I have had a great weekend in totality. My week started crazy.I had some bad allergy stuff so I didnt work on thursday...which means on Friday I was off. I had a good night out Friday then saturday was D day.

I went to Dukes on Friday with my friends. This is a bar with a large patio where people just chill and pass time.I had the opportunity to drink free sprite cuz apparently non drinkers can have any non alcoholic drink for free...I love that. free to enter...free to drink...doesnt get any better can it? They closed at 2 and 2.30 , the whole group decided to go one of the pals house where one of my pals jamaa (bf) decided to give me a drank :)- u know that buy u drank song by T pain...... I mean really I hadnt really drank any alcohol in like 1 yr, then I sipped on a couple alcoholic drinks...just sippping. The following day will be remembered the whole of this week.I had a serious hangie like crazy. I woke up , took 3 advils and a glass of water and back to bed. I repeated the same routine 4 hours later and soon it was time to get the saturday night going.

Practically summer translates to 3 main events ALL the time-graduations,weddings and cook outs if not baby showers. All those winter "warm ups" come with a cost. There are just so many kids born over the summer its amazing. So anyway on saturday...sato as we call it, one of my friends was graduating and so I went for the party. I was there for about 2 hours of which I had to leave so I could watch the Mayweather-De La Hoya boxing fight. Needless to say, I was supporting De La hoya, who I have been a long time fan. Last week I already had a major heartbreak. I was just about healing until I had the wounds unravelled. One of my friends warned me I am in for a surprise if De la Hoya wins. He went a step further,advising me to protect my already broken spirit by "crossing the bridge" and support Mayweather. Well, you know once a die hard fan always a die hard fan. Fans dont quit on their team for whatever reason. Oh gracious I wish I did. I mean De la Hoya did alot of nothing on the ring. How do u explain all those thrown shots with less than 30% landing? Aint that crazy? Yes and after all that he walked away with 25 million bucks...yes 25 million bucks. Me?.....ah something close to I was ready to drown all that disastrous weekend in something.

I left the house party where the fight was and went to a local joint for a chill out. If dancing was my professional career, I would be earning may be a million bucks in an year. I mean really. I love dancing. So I danced my troubles out, this night back to my usual no alcohol outings. I had the spanish dance. Ya'll I danced with this spanish guy but he actually would have passed for a white dude and let me confess I have never been challenged on the dance floor like that by a non black person.really.... That guy would go the chini kwa chini thing like crazy. He was a great dancer and I let him know that. It takes me a while to tell someone that but I surely think he deserved it..men! a brother could dance...I dont "meet" people at the club, I dont drink and so a good day to me is when I dance myself out or better still I get a good challenge...that was a good memorable night... and thank God I crashed tired, forgot my heartbreaks and was ready for another day, another week.....
