WTF? Does the new moon affect people like the full moon?22:45 Oct 28 2011

This week has been one loopy-assed ride, I tell ya'! I've had my share of freaks/kooks/tards to last me a year. The highlights:
* Some people are dressing up for Halloween before the said night...a week of kooky costumes. My fave so far is the guy in the Gumby suit. The wierd thing about him is...he wears that damn Gumby suit a lot.
On Tuesday morning, a girl came into the cafeteria wearing a very skimpy gold sequin bikini with platform 'George Clinton' boots. She was hot - in a super-model Naomi Campbell kind of way. Nevermind that it was still about 46 - 47 degrees outside. Dudes were swarming in to check her out. While I didn't think it was appropriate for her to be wearing her get-up on campus, it didn't faze me much...this is California, after all. She would be a usual sight across the bay in San Francisco...Anyway, someone thought that she was definetely in the wrong, because the cops were called. I'm assuming that the call went out over the radio, as about 7 - 8 cops converged on the chick all at once. They were there for the peep show too. I think the girl walked out with a citation or something, as she wasn't arrested, and she had her coat on...
* A student was wearing a really cool top, and I complimented her on it. She then went on to say that she designed and made it herself. I mentioned that I went to school for fashion design. She then went on to lecture me on how I should get back into it, and that WE should collaborate at some point, make lots of money, etc. She was full of bluster, but I could tell that she was passionate about fashion...and what I should be doing with my life (WTF)? Listening to her, you'd swear that she had a design studio set up, seamstresses at the ready, etc. When it came time for her to pay for her food, she pulled out her student ID and told me that she was in the Care program (basically, she gets $50 a month for food, for being a welfare mom going to school). Yeah...tell me how to run my life with your expertise, lady.
* Speaking of expertise...during a slow period yesterday, a guy comes in and proceeds to tell me and Mai that the number one thing that a black man should do - before school, a job, and the like - is to hussle. Mai and I just looked at him with a WTF look on our faces. He then went on about 'getting his life in order', ie getting his driver's license back, and getting his $20,000 in unemployment money...I had enough of his bullshit, so I asked him how he expected to get $20,000 - which no one gets - when he was so against working for a living? He just gave me a dumb look, and wandered off. He asked a female student nearby if she wanted a hussler with ready cash, or a boring square dude with a job, and she said "The square dude. I don't want no dumb broke ni---h like you." Mai and I cracked up, leaving the dumb ass to wander off...begging people for change. So much for the hussling life.
* A student of Middle Eastern and Hispanic descent struck up a convo with Mai and I...he went on about how Chinese women make good wives, as they are faithful and take care of their men...(stereotype, anyone)? Mai just rolled her eyes and commented that not many Chinese women serve men, and I told him that if anything, they - men - should consider how great ALL women were, especially when giving birth to their 'spawn'. He just gave me a wierd look, kinda' laughed and walked off. Asshole.
* Remember the old gay guy who gave me the lovely floor-length dress from Nigeria? One day - weeks ago, when it was really hot - he had no money and wanted a coke. I told him to get one, and I'd cover for him. No big deal. Fast forward to this week...to thank me, he had a fistful of flowers for me. The wierd thing about the flowers was that it looked like he just pulled up someone's garden. There were weeds, grass, and roots everywhere...Thanks.
