Now that I am by myself I got all the time in the world to get everything I want to say.
So let's get the business stuff out the way first:
1. Today was the first official event of the AASA year under my administration. It was cool. The Chill and the Grill, then the comedy show is next. So everything is off and running.
2. Of course, I did my housing stuff like a months in advance and after all this time, they still haven't got it right. Blah blah blah. Dr. beard got it worked out for me. So D5 is where I'm headed.
Alright, back to where I got this entry started. By a show of hands, has anyone ever seen me for a loss of words? Anyone? In the back? No one? Okay. Me either. But it happened. Follow me:
"For real, I'll pay double if you take your shirt off."
For real...you hear someting like that in the middle of the blazing hot sun, you're gonna look up. But dear God, why didn't you prepare me for that sight? She had a glow on her that looked like the gates of heaven opened up behind her. I started looking up those ankles till I reached her smile, and when I got to her eyes, my peronal definitions of beauty and perfection were changed. And this is coming from a young man who has met several S.I. swimsuit models and a couple of black Miss America. I got left speechless when she spoke to me. Well, she did introduce herself in a very lady like manner, it was just my response which had me feeling bad though. I mean, I'm supposed to be the charming one, at least thats what I have been told over the years. But when I stood up, walked over from the car, she said "Hi, how are you today? The only thing I could say was:
"I'm blessed in the Lord and you?"
For real EV. Thats the best you can do? I told my self over and over again in those few steps toward her, please don't say anything lame. But guess what came out my mouth. Then she told me her name was Kenisha, then she asked mine but, I could tell she already knew. In my head, I was telling myself my name is Mr. Lame-O. Nothing wrong with what I said, it's just the place I said it in. It's totally appropriate for church, but you're not getting any cool points with the ladies when you're half naked at a car wash say that. Speaking of dress, I like the one she had on. I can tell she is into fashion. But overall, I like her whole conversation. I mean she didn't have to tell me what we were doing wrong at the car wash, but then again I didn't know what I was doing in the first place. I was just washing cars. But after the conversation she stayed about 30 minutes after her car was washed. She was talking to Angel and Toi most of the time, but I think I saw her looking at me. Honestly, I wanted her to look at me. Hoping she would come back and talk some more. But of course after she left, I caught the death blow. I had ask about her and of course she has a boyfriend and let Toi tell it, she is in love. Oh well. For a moment, I saw her. That one, the one with that "It." Maybe I'll see her another day, another place, another time. But at least today, my eyes got to see the "difference."
