Sundays have become a rituals between me and my two close friends. Every Sunday we go to Pepper Lounge and hang out and run into old friends and just be on chill mode. We don't get dressed...just be on chill mode. Chill mode to us is pair of jeans some simple shirt and a pair of heels.....hell I have even done flat shoes. When I go out to the club regardless of where I go.....I don't go to attract men....I go to have fun with my girls. This past Sunday we continued about our Sunday rituals. We went to Pepper Lounge to start the night off and ran into a bunch of old faces. Had a good time like always. After Pepper we weren't ready to go home even after one of our good friends locked the keys inside of the car. We wait for Triple A for an hour. After wait in the cold for about an hour the Triple A man finally got the car unlocked and we all hopped in and was on our way. Ready for some more action we decided to cross that bridge and head to the Oz......
and this is where I want to pause. So many people in St Louis have a negative view of everything east of the Mississippi river. I wanna start by saying......East St Louis is NOT the only city in Southern Illinois....sure it is the first thing you cross when you come across the bring. But if you were not to be so ignorant and pull out a map and see what else is located beyond East St Louis. There are wonderful communities like O'fallon, Belleville, Fairview Heights, and others..... If anything St Louis is way more dangerous and about 5 times bigger than the city of East St Louis! Can't be that damn bad if they have a damn casino in the heart of the city and WHITE PEOPLE GO THERE!!! Yea ...think about that one.
But to continue on the events that happen on this night....
We arrived at the Oz. It was me, two girls, and guy. When we got there we chatted it up with a couple of folks and then we headed to the opposite side of the club to find a seat. We continued chatting it up with several folks. After that my friend had notice a group of guy sitting behind us, and one of the guys in this group was throwing items(ice,paper, and cups) to get our attention. We continued to ignore him. He then proceeded to get up and walk over to us. We made several comments such as "Really you are going to throw stuff at us to get our attention and then attempt to talk to use?". We said nothing vulgar or out of place. As we began to walk away he started to call us "Bitch" and everything else in the book. This is when I snapped. That was completely uncalled for and disrespectful. I turned around, got in his face, and simply let him know how out of line he was.....at this point my two girls were witnessing me getting into it with this guy. My friend went and grabbed a security guard. They then proceeded to kick him out. After that we all were pissed.....about 10 minutes passed and we were still upset so we decided to leave. When we walked out the exit door his was about to get in his vehicle and he continued cussing us out.
We walked to our car and attempted to continue ignoring his ignorance. Once we were all inside my friends truck we heard these loud sounds. No just one....but several. We all ducked out of habit. We turned around and saw the car that they guy had got in earlier drive past us. We all where sitting in the car and telling our self that the noise we hear so loud could not have been gunshots. We all got out and examined the car. There were multiple gunshots in my friends truck. In disbelief we all began crying out of fear. The position inwhich the bullets entered the car anyone of us could have been hit with a bullet that night.
I never thought I WOULD BE IN THIS TYPE OF SITUATION....ever in my life. Is it possible to make someone so mad that they take it upon themselves to use a gun and possibly take SEVERAL peoples' lives over simply not getting any play?
Luckily we don't have situations this extreme when we go to clubs. But this situation for me has changed the way I view going out to clubs and the men in them.
Men!!! ( That was me yelling so I could get all of the men attention!)
We need you to have sense when it comes to women in the club. Don't take offense if she doesn't want to converse with you. Maybe you don't strike her fancy. Nothing against you.....just keep being you....because honestly someone out there is meant for you. Also men......the unspoken rule of the club......JUST BECAUSE YOU BUY A WOMAN A DRINK DOESN'T MEAN YOU OWN HER THE NIGHT. Don't expect anything more than a thank you.
Women!!!!
I need you guys to stop going the club thirsty......yes THIRSTY! Stop going to the club depending on a man to buy you a drink. Try this ladies.....go to the club and purchase your first drink.....make that first drink on yourself. Sometimes if men see you paying for your own drinks they might be a lil more likely to pay for your next one. Try it...see what happens.
Ok I am off my soap box on that one. But at the end of the day I believe the line of courting or dating or hooking up or whatever we call it now a days has been blurred. No one does courting anymore.......it is just .....lets have sex and if it doesn't work out.....on to the next person.
Yes this blog has been random ....sorry if it doesn't make any sense to you...but in my own dazed and krazy world it makes perfect sense
