NYC Adventures [Red Lobster Trip]

So I told this story at least 4 times since these incidents occurred….

Before we left :)

October 23, 2010. My roommate Chanel and I decided we wanted to go to Red Lobster that night on 42^nd in Time Square after she gets off work. Chanel got off work at 10:30pm; considering NYC is the city that doesn’t sleep we went into the city anyway. We got all fly and what not, got to the Kew Gardens train station by 11:50. The restaurant stops serving people at 1. So we had time to get there. On the E train, if it is express, it only takes 20-30mins. We got on the E, it was local (-_-). We arrived at 71-Forest Hills stop (about 3 or 4 stops away from where we started) and the train was held. Then an express F train (E & F take the same route) pulls up, we run for that one. Upon running on this train we run into the car with a homeless brotha at the end seat. Then he says “It’s not every day I get to see beautiful women running onto the train in my direction. What an auspicious occasion." [-_-] Then he continues to complement our flyness, asking if we going to the club, or are we just dressed to look good, do we do this every day..Blah blah blah. Then an MTA worker comes to the doors and says ‘Ya’ll get comfortable cuz you aint goin nowhere for a while’ [say what?] SO we get off and are standing on the platform, as Chanel complains we are being swiss cheesed [meaning to stare as someone so hard you putting holes through them, like swiss cheese] by some thug-a-boos  [you know the typical, shiny bubble coat/vest with the Gucci belts and True Religion jeans and the polo rubgy shirts.]. Then another MTA worker comes by we ask what is going on and he says ‘We have a customer injury situation a couple stops up.’ Meaning? He saw my face then said ‘A man jumped or fell on the train tracks and so we need to shut down the electricity on this side, so there will be no train service to the city.’ [-______________-] Those were our faces. So we walked up and switched to get on the E back towards Queens. As we sat on the train we were so deep in convo [complaining] that when I looked up we passed Kew Gardens and so if We wanted to go back to school, We couldn’t. 

When things started going downhill.

      So in order to not pay MTA anymore money we improvised and jumped on the J train. As the J goes above ground we start making phone calls as to what should we do? [BTW the J train has to go through Brooklyn before it gets to the City] We made some calls and our homeboy Quamane [Bronson as we call him follow him on twitter--> @iAM_BrOnSoN] he says he will meet us in the city. Great, now we have a plan. BUT soon as the J crosses into Brooklyn, we are held up again. Over the intercom you hear the MTA worker telling a person to get out from between the doors so we can go. As the fool [person holding up the train] walks down the platform he is yelling and cursing, saying ‘I don’t give a fxck, im a gangsta, I know people, keep fxcking with me’ Im like huh? Then he is walking by our train car and smacks his hands up against the train screaming ‘REAL FXCKING G!’ mind you as he yells this he is staring at me [O_o] when I look over at him this fool is arguing with his BABY MOTHER! Her belly way out to here ---------------> she looks ready to pop! If she sneezes she would probably deliver her baby.  Then she yells ‘uh uh fxck you nigga!’ [word tho?] then she tries to walk away from him and gets on the next car but he follows her and stands between the doors. By this time it is like 12:45 am. So NOSEY PEOPLE had their heads stickin out the train watching him wild out and then I went off ‘What the hell? Mind you business and get ya behind in the train to se can get the hell on!’ For like another 15 mins we sat, the man is in the next car still going off, while we wait for the cops to come pick him up.  When the cops came, the J continued, even skipped stops. 3 stops later we are at Broadway Junction [you probably thinkin its not a good look to be at Broadway junction at like 1am] But anyway we head down the escalator that I swear are on like a 90 degree angle. Had Nelly and I leaning going down the escalator.

        As soon as we got down to the A train platform, it pulled up and we jumped on. The doors close and right away to big ass black dudes stand up. Dressed in black hoodies and those black coats with the orange on the inside.  Then he shouted ‘I need everybody to get FOCUSED!’ instantly I thought, Lord Jesus, please don’t let me get shot tonight, cuz I cant explain to my mother why I was on the A train at 1am. Then he said ‘I said focus, cuz the store is OPEN!’ [HUH? *Vado voice*] Then these fools pulled out nutcrackers [you know those lil drinks, made with juice and liquor in the little cute bottle] from their bags! I started rollin! Then the other dude said ‘we got lossies 75 cents or 3 for a dolla, & movies 2 for 5, wussup?!’ Their faces were so serious and they had a whole campaign! “Movies, cancer sticks & liqs!’ I was sooooo done. After they advertised they switched cars at the next stop. Then from the A, all frustrated we walked through 42^nd Port Authority we walked up the stairs to hit the street and the first thing I see is “Red Lobster” [-__-] We were tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. 

       We decided to go to McDonald’s and sit to wait for Bronson and his homeboy Che [who i think is an adorable lil man, kinna like a mouse ^_^]. While we were walking I had some dudes walked by me and Nelly saying we were beautiful, had dudes callin us divas, dudes trynna bag and what not. Even just sittin in Micky Dees, dudes looking at us, Talking to Chanel saying ‘ Ma, why the face, you too cute to be looking all mad’ #FOH. Time passes, the boys come [Bronson & Che] we chillin, laughing, talkin all that good stuff. Then this girl walkin by bumped this fine dude and he stopped her and was like ‘Miss, you bumped me’ In my mind im thinkin, oh goodness not again. Then she says ‘I what?’ smiling then he walked over and then HE BAGGED HER! I’m like what? That’s how we holla now, girls and guys bump each other and start talkin?! Then Bronson told us a story of how he witnessed this couple together then another man approached them like ‘my mans, this ya girl?’ the boyfriend said yeah, then he went to the girl saying ‘Well shorty, when you want a BETTER man, come check me!’ DISRESPECTFUL!! 

[FAST FORWARD] 

       Micky Dees closes and we look for another spot to hang, we wallk a couple blocks down and find a 24 hour white castle to sit in, along the way we come across all these adult stores [o_o] and even a transgender person, [he was a bad bxtch tho] So we chilling in white castle talking about complete nonsense and people start coming into white castle including some Navy boys, looking all drunk and stuff. And while we are laughing and joking a white castle burger contain comes flying over to us and hits Chanel in her face. I SWEAR this happened in slow motion. She instantly yelled ‘OH HELL NO!’ I didn’t know what to do, I sat there and debated do I wanna be a hood booger and pop off, or just grab Nelly and escort her out the restaurant?  But as I debated Nelly went off yelling ‘Let’s go! I am ready to go!’  THEN these two random black dudes that were there were like ‘ where ya’ll from?’ the Navy man responded ‘Maryland’ then the black dude said “oh Maryland huh? BUT here in NEW YORK, when we do stupid shxt, we apologize for it, you better say sorry! Cuz I don’t think you did, cuz I didn’t hear it!’ Before I could hear what else happened I went outside to calm Nelly down. Bronson held her you know told her not to worry about it and everything was over let’s just go home.  Then he said ‘I thought I was gonna have to fight cuz you know I would but damn son, I can’t fight a man in the Navy, they ready to die, I just live in Brooklyn!’ [LMAO!] 

Chanel :D

FAST FORWARD

      We played it safe and took the 7 train instead of the E in case it wasn’t working. As we waited for the 7 we sat on the bench and talked more bullshxt. Then a homeless looking man approached me with pizza crust hanging out his mouth like a cigar he said ‘ I need to get on the metro north to go home.’ He wanted to go somewhere upstate..but the Metro North doesn’t go there [sus!] then he said ‘ I have 88 cents, I need 32 more cents’ Chanel said ‘ you aint getting nowhere with that.’ BUT as soon as we reached into our pockets for change the ans says ‘ACTUALLY I need a dollar 32’ [say what?! How you change it up?! Now you need a dollar 32?] so whatever, I give him some change, but he drops it [-_- & his pizza crust fell on my shoe] he gets upset like ‘aww damn, I done dropped my pizza’ he throws the crust in train tracks and places something on the ground, I look down and this nigga had a 4 loko! I said PAUSE ‘how do you not have money to get home but you buying a 4 LOKO!!!!??’ some random as black dude, who was like rollin 7 deep goes. “Nah hold up, 4 Lokos are the shxt!’ [LMAO!] Im thinkin, first of all, who are you? 2^nd when the hell you get here?! Then Chanel says ‘But if you have nothing, why buy something you don’t need. How you getting home?’  the man says ‘FXCK THAT! After 4 Loko all that is secondary!’  then he pulls out his phone and starts playing ‘wasted’ by Gucci and im like ‘nobody wants to hear that, we’re sober’ then he sayd ‘WELP!, shoulda had a 4 loko mothafxcka!’ in a Dave Chappelle voice [ I had to walk away it was toooooooo funny] . As soon as I got up one of his boys held his chest and exclaimed “Good LORD! I didn’t know she had all that ass, my goodness!’ [-__-] then I was being swiss cheesed. FINALLY the 7 train came and we began to bored Bronson & Che went home after we boarded the train, while ‘7 deep’ waited to see if they would come with us. [These fools out here be disrespectful, what one of them boys was my man? You waiting for him to go away for a chance lol] We rode the 7 to Roosevelt and continued out journey back to school, I finally hit the bed at 6:30am . WHAT  A NIGHT!

'Good Lord, didn't know she had all that ass!'
