Post-All Star Weekend

Folks, it's been a minute... you know me, busy bee every darn day. Last time we connected, I was on my way to Orlando for All-Star Weekend in Orlando. I will admit, I am getting old for this silliness... but hey, this silliness turned out to be a great weekend after all.

My girl B (from college) flew out from NYC for the weekend and we re-lived our youth. Oh, it's great to feel young despite the years are creeping up on my age. Friday through Monday, nothing but pure fun with limited to almost NO drama. That's my kinda weekend. We were fortunate enough to attend many shindigs each night without the hassle of All-Star weekend nonsense. Yes, fortunate to be someone relevant eh? LOL. That's the exact nonsense I am referring to. Our last night in Orlando, we went to one of the many celeb-hosted parties...and I was baffled at how so many people really make an event of this occasion. While waiting at the front of the line (yes, I had to make that clear that it was the FRONT of the line, lol), some of the women behind us were talking bout how they needed to be in the line where they had pre-paid $100 tickets. Okay, really? Wow, I am sure these are ordinary middle-class working women...but you really going to dish out $100 just to walk in the club so you can enjoy the presence of a few celebrities and a hundreds of social climbing individuals? Ahhh, welcome to the world of superficial nonsense. Hey, I can't tell you how to spend your money, but I sure would rather pay that $100 to Miss Sallie Mae. Not to mention the additional $60 you spent on your hair and $100 you dished on that Forever 21 outfit.

I tell myself repeatedly, why do I bother going out? Well, for this weekend's sake, it was all about enjoying the festivities with my former roll dawg. We brought sexy back folks. Hey old folks can have fun too. Thanks for a fun weekend, B!

Okay check you guys later...if you follow my twitter or Facebook, you'll know that March is madness for me. Thanks for checking in. Bless.
