College, chix wings and a dance contest...


This actually happened 01 FEB 2005, I am just kind slow.....

I know, I know, I ain't been gettin' at my peeps! But I have a good excuse, WORK!!! Work has been in my arse somethin' so sincere. So anywho, this past weekend B& I took Loy and his buddy Ricky to LA for the Annual Black College Expo! Lawd, Lawd, Lawd!! Why do it have to be that way?? I could have sworn I was on my way to Al's Cross Roads (the crackinest SCRIP club in Birmingham). As we are exiting the car I see Rats erywhere!! I mean there was press on nails, stiletto, braids that reached the skreet, and Beyonce-ish type weave all around, and these were girls ranging in age from 13-17 yrs of age. Oh the young men were no better, they had ice in their ears, mo like GLASS. They had on jeans so baggy that you could see their ass crack in a Britney Spears manner.
I was like aiight, I started thinking to myself we were in LA and BET is included with BASIC Cable. So we go in and of course the SWAT team, Special Forces and The Seals are there for added protection. You had to be physically checked and purses and bags searched prior to entry, which by the way was $5.00. Aiight I am trying to keep an open mind, but I could have sworn I could hear the new Game playing in the background. We finally get into the LA Convention Center and it looks like a swap meet. There was the Fried chix wings with hot sauce, the knock off LV Purses and the knockoff CHANEL glasses (they were kinda crackin' but you know ioun PHUCK round with that shyt)!! I was so digusted with the way this was packaged. There was a stage in the back where of course you could watch the "Dance" contest, which looked more like "I can dance like a scripper betta than you" Contest!! This was a SHAME! I am just glad that I was there to ensure my son was able to get the info we came for. He was able to talk with Morehouse and a few others, but overall it was just a PHUKIN' Swap Meet!!
