salience

October 1, 2002

On my way back from O'Neill tonight, I passed this sketchy, built black guy as I was walking:

Guy: "How are you doing tonight?"
Me: "Oh I'm fine."

I keep walking.

Guy: "Hey! Hey now! Stop!"

I turn around and can feel myself being checked out.

Guy: "What's your name?"
Me: "Maria."
Guy: "Hablas espanol?"
Me: "De veras."
Guy: "De donde eres?"
Me: "Georgia."
Guy: "Vives aqui?"
Me: "Por supuesto, soy estudiante aqui. Estas aqui para estudiar, no?"
Guy: "Maybe..."

He winks. I shift my weight.
He winks again, and I think to myself, "You touch me pendejo and your FUBU nalgas are grass..."
Awkward silence...
He finishes his candy.

Me: "So what's your name?"
Guy: "Damon."
Me: "Me alegre a conocerte, Damon."
Guy: "Encantado. You gotta number I can call you at?"
Me: "Yeah, you got a pen?"

Guy frantically searches his FUBU pockets, but to no avail.

Guy: "Nah."

Guy realizes I have my backpack and have been studying; notices pen in my hand.

Me: "Oh that's too bad Damon. Take care."

I walk away, smiling. It works every time. ;)
