New Addictions

Please listen.

Don’t try it, not even ONCE or I promise you will be hooked. It’s worse than crack and has less, um, side effects but there shouldn’t be ANYTHING that has control over you like this does.

Yes, I’m talking about MYSPACE!

I’m sure you’ve heard of it. Soli got me hooked and ever since I can’t, like, think right. Or even function..properly cuz um, I’m having too much damn fun!

Blackplanet– BLAH!

FACEBOOK– YAWN!

MySpace- THE SHIZNIT!!!

Since logging on there I have met up with some OLD friends from way back when. I mean BACK WHEN I was a size FOUR! Whoa! Yeah, that was so long ago. ~smile~

I even hung out with my friend Jessica who was my little sweetie back in school. Jessica was a freshman when I was a senior but she was such a cute kid and a good sport. Even during ‘Senior Snob Day’ when all of the seniors refused to speak to underclassmen she didn’t get too mad at me. During Senior Week we had an ‘Adopt an Underclassman Day’ where we adopted underclassmen and dressed like twins. Weren’t we cute? The other two in the pic are my bestfriend Anna and her underclassman.

So Jesse calls me and invites me to come hang out with her.

“Do you ever take the kids out?” she asks. Jesse has 3 kids, 2 georgeous girls and a 3 month old baby boy.

“Yeah, I take them out. What do you wanna do?”

“Well on Sunday nights I take the kids to the club with me.”

“THE CLUB?!!!”

She laughs. “Yeah girl. The club. It starts at 5pm and ends at 8pm and everybody brings their kids and all the little kids dance and have dance contests with prizes and everything!”

“Hahahahahaaa!!! Stop lying!”

“I’m not. We’ll go and you’ll see.”

“How much is it?”

“If you bring your kids, it’s free. If you don’t it’s $10.”

LMAO!!!

“You know what? I HAVE to go, just for the sake of going to see what kind of club you can take your kids to. I’ll call you tomorrow at 5.”

I told my sons we were going to a party. They were soo excited! Early on Sunday we had a playdate with the neighbors across the street. I felt so bad because I went over there and fell asleep on the couch while the kids were in the backyard playing. I woke up drooling and looking around. The kids Mom just laughed and said, “Go ahead and relax.”

I didn’t even realize it was 5:00 until my kids came running in all joyful. “Whats up with ya’ll?” I asked them. “Mommy! It’s 5:00! Time for the party!”

We drove over to Jessica’s place to meet her family. She is doing very well since highschool. She has a nice place, a novio que es muy guapo (Dominican~drool~) and beautiful children. She was still bubbly, loud and rowdy and lots of fun.

We head on out to this club called Le Boulevard on 36th street. It’s a Latin club with a live band, plenty of room for dancing and delicious but overpriced food. It was so funny walking into a CLUB with my kids. But when I saw all the little kids dancing and running around and having a great time, I sat back and relaxed along with the other parents.

All ages were represented there. There were small kids like my boys, from 3-5 and then there were bigger kids and even teenagers. Ofcourse there were the 20 somethings standing on the sidelines and the older adults who came for the opportunity to shake their thangs. It seemed very much like a family atmosphere. But you know Latino’s look out for each other anyway.

My boys ran right along with the Latin kids, chasing each other and trying to step on the flashing lights and chase the smoke from the smoke machines. I smiled and watched everything from the sidelines. I didn’t even dance. I havent done the meringue or the bachata in so long. And I still can’t salsa so I just gave up on that.

I’ve always been intrigued by the Latin culture. Latin men are soo damn sexy to me. It’s rare that I see one that isn’t fine as hell. Yeah, I still don’t understand why I have YET to get me one of dem chicos! ~sigh~ Such is life!

I had a beautiful time and my boys did too.

I’ll have to go back again and take my little cousins, I know they will enjoy themselves.
