Grad School = Blog Tardiness

I'm sorry. It's been a while. A week and a half to be exact. Started Grad school about a week ago so I'm tryna adjust to the class load and working. I feel like a lot has happened and I'm prolly forgetting a lot of things. But that's life. Oh well. Get over it cuz I am.

- So I went out to one of those Mom and Pop restaurants with a few of my fellow certified superheroes. University Pizza on Colley and 51st, to be exact. We had a large sausage and bell peppers pizza. It was decent. Cool spot. Anywho, we were chillin outside on the patio. Kickin back a few brewskis. LoL. J/k. U guys know I don't do beer. Sorry, there I go again rambling. Wait, I don't have to apologize, it's my blog. Deal with it. We were sitting there chillin and sitting on the corner next to the street. An FYI for all of u who don't know, a lot of the streets in Norfolk are narrow. Well there's not much parking near this place so a lot of people park on the side of the street. In this case there were cars on both sides of the street. Well, one patron of said pizzeria either had too much to drink or he really sux at driving. On his way out, he totally sideswiped a red Tahoe before entering the intersection. Sounded like a car door slamming. Everyone at our table looked over at hime. He yelled out an expletive, made eye contact with practically everyone at the table, and then sped off down the road. Wtf? No note or nothing. Just sped off like it never happened. Well not only did we all see him do it, but Seamus (SHAY-mus) He totally requested that as his blog code name. recognized him. And then, not 30 seconds later the po po just happened to come driving down the street. Well Seamus sprung into action, he is after all a certified superhero. He jumped the fence and flagged the cop down. He told him what happened (I bet u won't call him a snitch tho!) and the cop pulled a Uey and raced off into the night. U like what I did there? Idk if the cop ever found the dude but it makes for an interesting story. As does much of my life.

- Went to McDonald's for a quick lunch today. I gotta lay off the fast foods. Not for the obvious reasons such as weight gain and unhealthy junk food tho. The most random things keep happening to me there i.e., the Popeye's Fiasco. So it actually seemed like it was gonna be a normal trip. Went inside, got my food, was walking to my car, optimistic about lunch when a desheveled That's right, desheveled, have you ever worked that into a conversation? looking woman caught my eye. She was talking to a guy sitting in a parked car and started walking my way. Tried not to make eye contact but ya'll know I attract crazies. The following strange, yet short convo ensued:

Lady: Hi! Ur dreads look pretty.
Me (thinking): Here we go. She obviously wants something.
Me: Thanks. (Tryna keep it moving.)
Lady (With a drunken slur): Can you help me out? I'm pregnant and I'm tryna buy an Angus burger. I got $2.
Me: Nah, I don't have any cash. Sorry.

Couple of things. This lady was definitely overweight but doubtful that she was pregnant. Hopefully not because she was reallllllly drunk. At 12:45pm on a Tuesday. Secondly, how u gonna ask me to help u buy an Angus burger and then tell me that u have $2? First off, if ur begging, don't try to be bougie! An Angus burger is clearly not the cheapest thing on Mickey D's menu! U better work that Dollar Menu! Shoot, u can get a hamburger and a small fry for less than $2! And yes I know from personal experience! As a college student, I have worked that Dollar Menu many a time. And a hamburger is only $0.89! U could get 2 hamburgers and have change left over for a peppermint. U want a full meal? Get a Hamburger, small fry, and a water cup! Still less than $2! Moral of the story? Don't be a bougie bum or u will be a hungry bum. And don't lie to ppl about being pregnant when ur really just a fat drunk.

That's all folks. I'll try not to make u wait as long next time.
