Commissary (Happy Hour): Restaurant Four

Alrighty...i told you all i would find the perfect place to take the jump offs where no one will see you and you don't have to spend a lot of money. In addition you can get drunk for $20.

Drum roll please...Commissary in Dupont/Logan Circle!!!



Cuisine: American
‎Dining Style‎: (Very) Casual Dining
‎Reservations‎: who makes reservations for happy hour?? pretentious ass-holes, thats who.
‎Price Quartile‎: $
‎Parking‎: No Valet‎
Attire‎: Anything but butt nekkid-ness
‎Wine Specialty‎: happy hour wine anyone??

the skinny: i don't work too far from this spot. Uber low key, dim lighting and $4 Comi-Cado's (def didn't spell that right), Mojitos and Margaritas.

you can also eat for $4...they have chicken tenders, $2 ceasar salad ( you havent had a ceasar until youve had it with anchovies #truestory) and $3 garlic hummus w/ pita bread.

i don't know about you but i don't need much too eat when i'm drankin' so i'm good with the salad, now bring on the DRANKS!!!

this is the perfect place to take someone that you may not even like but definitely want to smush (thank you jersey shore). since it's in a trendy neighborhood, they'll think youre trendy and you can get them drunk with only $20.

My suggestion, order the Comi-Cado's, its the strongest of the happy hour drinks. the down side to this place is you have to bring your own sand to this beach. every time i've gone there was no eye candy; man or woman. a lot of couples and tired/drunk dupont workers. youre better off across the street, bagging a whole foods worker.

so how many Shakur's, HOW MANY SHAKUR'S?!?!?!

Since this is the cheapest we've gone, i'll give you a full body Shakur which is the equivalent to like a dozen plus thumbnail Shakurs :)

The Steph Jones Moment...

and what??? what you gon' do?? yeah i said it...steph jones is the new hottie with a body that i'm crushing on.

its so sad this thing i have for freckles on blk ppl..just sad. but seriously Steph is adorable and he seems like a nice guy. i mean he dated a virgin, don't get much sweeter than that.

breath him in, hold...gently spit out. hold again because as adorable as he is, i don't see this crush lasting too long.

Hanks Oyster Bar: Restaurant Three

Cuisine: Seafood
‎Dining Style‎: Casual Dining
‎Reservations‎: I heard they dont take them but that mightve changed‎
‎Price Quartile‎: $$
‎Parking‎: No Valet‎
Attire‎: Casual
‎Wine Specialty‎: they serve wine?? (try their homemade-seasonal, slow cooked egg nog)

the skinny: im mean what can i say about a joint that i've been to 3 times in one week??

i've developed an insatiable hunger for raw oysters.

no i don't get horny.
no it doesn't make me feel like i'm eating cooter.

Hanks is in the uber trendy area of Dupont Circle (Q St.) but is away from the melee that makes Dupont, Dupont. tucked away in the corner, Hanks hooks you up with $1-$2 oysters on a half shell between the hours of 5:30pm - 6:30pm. if you like oysters you know this price is beyond a bargain, its a fucking steal.

they have other stuff too but...yeah, i eat oysters. calamari/popcorn shrimp basket is a must as well. without being too wordy, Hanks is chic and trendy with carry-out prices. ok, maybe not carryout...chic and trendy with applebee's pricing.

Date Status: Ladies and Gents, i think we've found the most impressive Jump-Off spot. Wanna make her feel "special" without spending that "special" money, take her to Hanks. wanna make him feel like a winner but only spend for the amount of a chicken dinner, take him to Hanks.

*drum roll* ITS A 5 SHAKUR RESTAURANT!!!!!! Seriously yall, i can't get anymore economically friendly without including a dollar menu.

2010 - 1950

you know my Bettie Page obsession...you know this.

actually i love the whole naughty conservatism of the 1950's. its something we don't get a lot of in the new millennium. everyone has pretty much said to hell w/ conservatism, bring on more naughty. I, on the other hand, find the naughtiest ppl are those that are the most conservative (or fully clothed)...(save that for another post).

ANYWHO, it all boils down to me wanting a 1950's inspired swimsuit.

Here are some looks that I found, that I love:

Eye Candy/Mind Fuck: Leann Amos

since everyone uses the term "eye candy" i decided to call them mind fucks (for obvious and not-so-obvious reasons).

i think women are beautiful and, as a non-hating female, i can celebrate a womans beauty and share it with others...plus i need more male followers, so here is some eye can...excuse me, here is the mind fuck of the week: LEANN AMOS

Why she's a mind fuck: she's not only a "model" but she does 'net interviews and has a youtube channel blah blah blah...she's not a total airhead.

Why i like her: she's thick, looks good in or out of clothes, looks adorable with short or long hair...WERK!!!!

The Manual: Getting What u Want

I'm on twitter today and noticed a very serious debate going on.

what caught my attention was a woman saying "all men cheat." this spiraled into a back and forth and what got me to speak up was men were saying that all women "fall in love" after sex, where as men are more apt to casual sex, no attachments. *sigh*

I'm assuming these were cavemen talking. However, i will use this concept as a segway into "The Manual: getting what u want."

its cute that men think that all women need is a little dick in their lives, and i have often said "damn that bitter hoe needs some dick," but the reality of it is: we both need each other.

that is lesson/exercise one: ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND MEN AND WOMEN NEED EACH OTHER. with this knowledge you are able to never have to feel like you need him or her to complete you. just as bad as you want them, they want u.

with this knowledge you can also obtain confidence in knowing that he/she may not want you but someone who is finer, nicer, more educated, etc will want you. make sense, i hope so...we're moving on.

it's so important to know your self-worth in order to obtain not only healthy relationships but to be more successful, well received and just an all around better person.

lets be straight: confidence does not equal cocky.

confidence=i love who i am and am ok if you don't love me because i will always have self-love.
cocky= i love who i am, why don't you love me?? you should, i'm great.

see the difference??

confidence is like a new hairstyle or cut, people take notice. and when u love yourself people can't help but to notice. its unbelievably easy to show self love and it only takes a few seconds and the gestures are sooo simple:

smile

take care of your appearance

laugh

love

thats it!!!

smile- its a scientific fact (not really, shut up) that smiling reads as joy and pleasure to others. you can't bag a mate mean mugging (for those that don't speak slang: you can't find a mate with a mean expression upon thy face)...invite opportunity your way by smiling, SHOW OFF YOUR JOY AND PLEASURE to others.

take care of your appearance- take care of what you got, whether its kmart or cavalli. keep in mind the way you take care of yourself is the type of person your going to attract. so u havent had a line up in two months and u look like wolf-man jack, don't be surprised if u get a broke down raggamuffin...NINJA, U LOOK BROKE DOWN TOO!!!! ladies, youre a size 14 (triple d) and have on a midriff and leggings, don't be surprised if u get a man asking "how much??" YOU LOOK LIKE A HOE!!! i can't stress enough, you don't have to have designer gear or mac make-up. find a look that fits you, rock it with confidence...take care of it with patience.

laugh- i hate to see people try to contain their laughter. if somethings funny, LAUGH...it burns calories. it also invites people to share in your joy. sidenote: i had a friend in middle school whose laughter was contagious. every time she laughed, i couldn't help but laugh and we would sit on the phone for hours laughing at nothing...and it was fun. when is the last you laughed really hard??

love-LADIES LADIES LADIES, this is for you...men don't like hating ass females. stop mugging pretty women, stop dissing a chick cause she got knock off laboutins (even though that is a travesty within itself)...if she's bad, say she's bad. it makes you look better in the long run. the classic scenario is a group of men and women sitting around "discussing" and when a pretty chick is named all the females have something negative to say: "i heard she's a hoe," "you know thats not her real hair," "somebody said she fucked to get that bag." SO WHAT!!!!! be a trendsetter and say something nice. its good karma on you, u stand out from the crowd and a "good" man will see the "good" in you...get it?? a "good" man...cause they're only attracted to "good" women.

fellas, if youre hating on another dude u just look gay to females, thats it...point done. also, stop being so negative. your heart cannot receive love if it doesn't believe in love. stop burdening others with how fucked up you are and focus on how good you are cause "good" people are only attracted to other "good" people.

i can't stress enough how easy it is to get what u want from following such simple guidelines...but what's uber is they work for more than just relationships, it makes for a healthier, happier way of life.
