#ConfessionFriday
Way way wayyyy back in the day, when drinking and clubbing were every-weekend activities, I was definitely a super prick (when I was intoxicated). This is one example. >>>
After the club let out, my buddy Paul and I decided to linger around outside, along with all the other people. We were standing by a bench when a couple girls rolled up next to us. I whispered something like this in Paul’s ear…
“Yo. Don’t look now… but directly behind you… blue dress… it is the most amazingly fitting dress I’ve ever seen… and shortie has the baddest body I’ve ever seen... her shape will blow your mind… it’s perfect!! BUT, I gotta warn you… she is also the ugliest person on this planet!! I’m talkin oogly boogly ugly! It is such a waste of that beautiful dress.”
Paul turned around to look. And the girl was staring him directly in the face with a super mean mug. She was standing like inches away from us and she heard EVERYTHING I had said. In my intoxicated state, I apparently wasn’t whispering at all, I was speaking in my regular voice. And also, she was definitely closer to us than I had realized. But… right after I said those things to Paul, I walked away because something else had caught my attention. So when he actually turned around to see the girl and catch her glaring eye-stare back at him, I wasn’t even there. He tried to apologize on my behalf and blame it on the alcohol, but of course she wasn’t trying to hear that. Luckily for me, she didn’t try to say anything to me or start a scene with Paul at all. She just walked away. Paul found me and told me what had happened. He was sooo mad at me. <end of story>
I admit that Paul and I had a good laugh over that situation. Not because of the ridicule against the girl. But because of my own ridiculousness of being that intoxicated. I definitely do not condone that kind of behavior from anyone (including myself) and I have no defense for my own actions at that time. What I do have… are a lesson-learned experience and a memory that served as self-encouragement to do better and be better.
P.S. To the Blue Dress Girl… if you are my Friend/Follower/Fan on social media, and this story is just now making you realize that I was the culprit that night… I truly, genuinely, and most sincerely apologize. I hate that YOU had to be one of the experiences that it took for me to recognize certain things about myself. But please know that it helped me to mature. Also… please still come to my shows!
