OK, by now, many of you may have heard Ludacris' song "Pimpin' all over the world". Toward the end of the CD version, a movie character named Money Mike has a part where he describes non-pimpin' characteristics...after a night on the town in Ko Samui, I think I've seen some things that could be added to Money Mike's monologue:
- If you are at a club and are kissing and hugging up on a "pro" like she's your wifey, you are not pimpin'...we shot some games of pool beside a group of guys who had some Thai "pros" with them and these dudes were acting like these girls were their GFs and what not. I thought of openly clowning them, but that would have been foul of me :-) I can't front though, the girls were kinda-sorta cute, but those dudes' game had to have been as weak as that fake no-name Kool-Aid from the dollar store.
- If you are walking down the street and get freaked out when a whole team of those "pros" pounces on you, you are not pimpin'...yeah that was me. When my friends and I got to this club, we walked down the street to get some food and had to pass a bunch of bars that each had 5-10 "pros" hanging out. As we walked by, they would come out in the street and try to get us to go into the bar. We were fine with saying 'no' to most of them, but one bar in particular had some "pros" that were on some other ish and started grabbing us. My man Travis and my man Jon were able to break through them, but I couldn't get them off me...they were like leeches. I had one grabbing each arm, one on my left leg, one tugging on my right hand, and one grabbing around my waist as if she was giving me the Heimlick Manuever. Once I was able to break away from them, I was freaked out and had to shake myself out of it. I switched it up on them as we walked back up the street though...when those chicks tried to grab me, I got all swole up on them and gave them "The Heisman" to push them off.
- If you are a member of an Asian cover band that has the audacity to do hip-hop songs but you can't pronounce the lyrics well enough not to get laughed at, you are not pimpin'...The band playing at the club was HORRIBLE! They started out by covering top-40 pop songs like "This love" and weren't that bad, but it all took a turn for the worse when they did "Lose yourself" and their rendition of the lyrics were unintelligible. We were literally dying laughing at them. then, it got worse when they did "Bring 'em out" and were about half a beat behind while spittin' the lyrics. The last straw was when they did "Crazy in love" and got to Jay-Z's part...I didn't know whether to laugh or be offended. Thank goodness they finished their set right after that because I was so close to jumping on stage and beating every member of that band like they'd stolen something.
After being up around the wackness of Ko Samui's nightlife scene, I needed a day to take it easy, so I tried to get some reading done for my upcoming September Session classes...it's going to take me a LOT of work to get back into the swing of things for school. It literally took me over 2 hours to read 10 pages of an Economics paper on Auction Theory because the material was pretty dry and my mind kept wandering. Even worse, I still have 15 pages left in that paper and another 100 pages of stuff to read for this particular seminar. I know that I said I was ready for school about a month ago, but I might have been wrong about that.
Finally, I want to give a shout out to my sister and her husband for successfully bringing my first neice Kendal Sanai X (I can't put her government name out there like that) into the world. According to my mother, everything went well, so I'm a happy big brother right now.
