The weekend exploits....

Last week I met this really cute 21 year old – before you start saying anything, I know that I’m robbing the cradle but he is gorgeous!!! He’s about 5'11", works in Manhattan, has a car and unfortunately also lives at home. But after all, it’s not like I’m trying to walk down the aisle with him!! I also ran into him over the weekend at the International African Arts Festival, held here in Brooklyn. The festival is an opportunity to support Black vendors who are selling handmade clothes, jewelry, services and food. It’s also nice to run into people that you know from the neighborhood. As I walked around, I saw the young’un, where he was cooking up some jerk chicken. I was really surprised to see him and got a chance to chat with him for a little while. There were some really gorgeous guys at the festival, including a booth, where these hot guys were giving massages!! If only, I could have my own personal massage therapist on call 24/7 for any services that I might need….I can keep dreaming I guess.

I went out with a friend on Sat night and met quite a few cuties while I was hanging out. First of all, I saw this guy that I dated back in the mid-90’s who works at the U.N. and still claims to be in love with me, huh??? Men are SO FULL OF IT. He was overjoyed with excitement by the fact that he ran into me after all these years. I got his business card and promised to follow up with him; we’ll see abut that. Then I went to this lounge, called Moe’s, where it’s a nice laid back vibe. Of course, I somehow got into a political debate with this guy; P. who basically was defending the war in Iraq because it’s the only was the U.S. was able to avoid inflation. He considers himself an individualist/collectivist, or something along those lines. He was very interesting but I realize that when you deal with some of these guys who are intellectuals, they always want to have verbal calisthenics with you over any issue and quite frankly, I sometimes want to suspend my brain for a little while when I’m dealing with someone. Needless to say, he went home shortly after we had this conversation and I was able to enjoy the rest of the morning before I headed home around 4am!
