THERE'S NO BETTER SATISFATION THAN FEELING LIKE YOU'VE BEAT THE SYSTEM. ONE POINT FOR YOU, ZERO FOR THE "MAN"!

WELL OKAY..MAYBE A BRIEF INTRODUCTION IS DESERVED. I MEAN MAYBE IT'S THE SIMPLE FACT THAT I'VE BEEN AMERCED IN THIS MICROCOSM CALLED HOWARD FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS THAT IS TO BLAME FOR MY ARROGANCE, MY FEELING OF ARRIVAL WHEN IN FACT I'M STILL ON THE BOAT, OR MAYBE IT ISN'T THAT SIMPLE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE NEVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS THIS ALTERNATE "UNIVERSE"-ITY. LET ME TRY TO PAINT THIS PICTURE FOR YOU. THERE IS THIS INSTITUTION, OH WAIT WE'RE NOT HAMPTON. (HBCU HUMOR AT ITS BEST) I APOLOGIZE, LET ME START OVER.. THERE IS THIS LOCATION OF HIGHER LEARNING, THIS UNIVERSITY OF PRESTIGE, THE MECCA OF MIRACULOUS THINKERS, ENTERTAINERS, EDUCATORS, MOVE MAKERS, HISTORY CREATORS, AND THE MOST GOOD LOOKING, HUSTLING, ARROGANT, UPPITY, SUPERFICIALLY CONSCIOUS, ACHIEVE BY ALL MEANS, WE'VE CREATED SEAN "DIDDY" COMBS PEOPLE YOU WILL EVER MEET. MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE ICE CREAM AT THAT SOCIAL THAT THE "PALS" PUT ON THE VERY FIRST WEEK OF ORIENTATION. WHO KNOWS, BUT YOU WOULD THINK I WAS A LIAR IF YOU'VE NEVER MET AN ALUMNI OR LATE REGISTRATION STYLE KANYE COLLEGE DROP OUT OF HOWARD UNIVERSITY. WE WERE BRED TO BE SUPERSTARS AND OUTSHINE THE WORLD. OKAY OKAY, SO MY PARENTS HAVE A SLIGHT HAND IN THE WAY I'VE TURNED OUT. FOR THEY BUILT THIS FOUNDATION OF NETWORKING, SWINDLING, AND SOCIAL LADDER CLIMBING THAT I HAVE MASTERS OVER THE YEARS. I REMEMBER AT A RIPE AGE MY DAD TRAINING ME. I MEAN I WAS DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL, SO WHEN I WANT... I GET. I MIGHT GET IT WITH THE MOST DRAWN OUT AND WINDED EXPLANATION AS TO WHY I WOULD GET WHAT I WANTED AND HOW THERE WAS NO ROOM TO MESS UP..WHICH I THINK I'VE MASTER OVER THE YEARS AS WELL. MESSING UP, THAT IS. BUT YOU LIVE, YOU LEARN, AND YOU DON'T HAVE KIDS (SCREW THAT LUVS COMMERCIAL). ANYWAY BACK TO THE SUBJECT, I POINT OUT VERY PIVOTAL POINTS IN MY LIFE WHERE I'VE USED MY (AND I QUOTE CLUELESS) "POWERS OF PERSUASION" TO GET ME OUT OF THE STICKIEST SITUATIONS. LETS SEE, THERE WAS THE WHOLE GRADUATION SCANDAL. SO WHAT I WAS FAILING TWO CLASSES, THREE CREDITS, AND ONE MANDATORY COURSE SHY OF GRADUATING? ONE HOUR OF TEARS AND THEATRICS, AND $1000 LATER, I HAD CAP AND GOWN IN HAND. I CAN'T SPILL IT ALL. I DON'T NEED THEM RE-NIGGING (YEA I SAID NIG) ON THAT WHOLE DEGREE THING, BUT A LITTLE WORD OF ADVISE... RULE #1 KNOW PEOPLE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU! AND NEVER THINK YOU'RE TOO GOOD TO WORK THOSE SKILLS YOU'VE PICKED UP AT YOUR RECREATIONAL ACTING CLASSES. :) THEN THERE WAS THE EVELYN LODGES EPISODE THAT FOREVER TAGGED ME AS THE FRIEND TO THROW IN THE FIRE WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS IN FRONT OF THOSE EVER JUDGING FUZZY RED ROBES IN FRONT OF THE CLUB. STORY... IT'S MY FRIENDS 21ST BIRTHDAY, SHE WANT TO PARTY WITH A "MIXED CROWD" AND WANTS LEAVE THE "URBAN CROWD" HOME FOR THE NIGHT. *SIDEBAR* ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW SOCIETY HAS CREATED CODE NAMES TO TIP TOE AROUND RACE. THAT'S A WHOLE OTHER BLOG IN ITSELF! ANYWAY, SO WE HEAD TO THIS SWANK LITTLE SPOT THAT'S PROMISING ENDLESS HOURS OF TECHNO AND TRANCE. AS WE'RE STANDING IN LINE I NOTICE THAT THERE IS A COVER, AND BEING THE TYPICAL COLLEGE STUDENTS WE WERE, THERE WAS NO WAY WE WERE PAYING A COVER TO GET IN..FOR LIQUOR YES..ENTRY NO. QUICK GIRL! THINK! OOOH LOOK THERE'S THE BOUNCER AIMLESSLY FLAILING HIS LITTLE CLIPBOARD AROUND PAYING ATTENTION TO EVERYTHING BUT US. I POSITION MYSELF PERFECTLY TO READ THE NAME EVEYLN LODGES , I WORK MY WAY TO THE FRONT OF MY FRIENDS AND CONFIDENTLY LOOK MR. BOUNCER SQUARE IN HIS FACE. B:"YOU ON THE LIST?" ME: "OF COURSE, AND THESE PEOPLE ARE WITH ME." AS I POINT TO THE CLUMP OF FABULOUSLY CLAD PEOPLE BEHIND ME. B: "NAME?" ME: "EVEYLN LODGES" HE SCROLLS THE LIST, SEES THE NAME, LOOKS AT ME, LOOKS BACK AT THE LIST A THOUGH THE NAME MAY HAVE CHANGED IN THE SPLIT SECOND HE GLANCED UP. B:"YOU'RE EVEYLN LODGES?" AS I REALIZE I HAVE TO SHOW THIS MAN MY ID..... I'M NOT IN NY JUST YET! I THINK FAST. ME: "ACTUALLY NO. SHE'S A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE. SHE MAY ALREADY BE INSIDE. SHE'S EXPECTING US. ALL OF US." HE LOOKS AT ME FOR 10 MORE SECONDS, AND FINALLY... B: "FINE. COME ON..." AND A LEGACY WAS BORN. Labels: diddy, howard university, kanye west, sean combs
