Today, on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010, i made 25 years old. Today, realizing that i'm now 25, was probably the least favorite day of my B-Day weekend.
So Friday my friends threw me an surprisingly well planned SURPRISE party at Club Ampersand. I was actually surprised. The emotion most people know as "surprise" or "shock" is an emotion that is rarely tapped into on my end. And i mean very VERY seldom. But, they got me. A party that i will always remember. I know it took effort, because i'm one of those people who notice any and everything. But they put in work. We had a great time.
Saturday was a little less festive. My friends took me to the Trina concert. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but it was something different to do. And i always like to see people live to see how they execute. I can't truly STAN for someone until i see them live. Anybody can make a good album with good vocals, but you see them live and your kinda like..
"Wait, What?"....
*cough cough* Mariah Carey *cough cough*.
We arrived at the Venue for 10:00 pm on the dot. My friend,who is a hardcore Trina fan, had to be the 1st in line to get a good spot. Once we arrived at the door, i was told me a little short fat white man, who clearly doesn't have a television at home, that my shoulder porn was to "dangerous", and that i needed to change.
A few spikes never hurt anybody right? This is what i get for being adventurous. Normally, i'd be my regular preppy dressed self. I opted (against my better judgment) to be Lady Gaga-esque for my B-Day weekend. And I get turned away because i might stab somebody with my shoulders. Whatever Mr Security. Little fat fuck.
After retrieving my blazer out of the car, we stood patiently in the venue for hours upon hours waiting for Ms Amazing to arrive on stage. We were tortured with awful local artist, and even more awful fashions.
I was quite hard to to remain sane in such a atmosphere. My feet felt like they were about to give out at any minute. I wanted to scream and curse, punch the fat security guard who wouldn't let me in because he's never seen a goddamn music video in his life, and make a dramatic exit..but i didn't. I maintained my composure.
Finally, at 2:35 am Trina and her ass arrived on stage.
And i must say i was amazed. You want to know what was so amazing? The fact that she could walk up and down the stage, high as a kite, with her eyes closed the entire time, and NOT fall flat on her face. Truly amazing. She did about 10 snippets of her various songs, and about 5 snippets of Beyonce's songs for whatever reason. All with her eyes closed, and with the energy of an 85 year old woman with a broken hip. At precisely 2:57 am, Trina began to say her goodbyes. Her album comes out May 4th. I know this, not because i was listening, but because she said it about 20 times in 5 minutes. After she walked off stage and into the back, i immediately left.
Sunday was Easter. Family Day. Yall know how that goes. We went to Boomtown Casino to spend the Birth Day Wheel. I lost. So my mom wrote me a nice little check. Thanks mom.
All and all though, my B-Day weekend was great. My friends shocked me. Trina shocked me. Everything was great.
