Someone called me “niggerish” yesterday.
I was telling her about my experience this past Friday when my phone lost power after hanging out with some friends. I was in the middle of a residential part of DC on 18th Street, with nowhere to charge my phone. Mind you, I’m desperate to get that thing charged, because a beautiful bisexual lady friend of mine left me a voice message telling me that she wanted me to go with her and her friends to a strip club and drink with them. As soon as I got this hour-and-a-half old message is when the battery died.
Murphy’s Law like a motherfucker.
Then, God leaves me a sign that he likes lesbians, too. I look over at the building that is the headquarters for planned parenthood and see that over behind their flowerbed is an outdoor electrical outlet. So me, being the guy that I am, I go up the steps, climb over the side rail, plug in my phone to charge, and sat on the balcony smoking a cigar that my boy Vince The Cigar Man gave me a week ago.*
*Note:I am not a smoker(those cigars are the only things I seem to be able to tolerate), but this was cause for celebration! I was about 10-15 minutes of charging away from drunk, naked Hot Lesbian Action.
Folks walked by and looked, and I looked back at them…sometimes waving…sometimes even engaging in breif conversation. Once I got the feeling my phone was done, I called my friend back, only to realize that I was too late to make the trip out there. Oh well. I decided that knowing I could get away with charging my phone at the planned parenthood building and making the friends that I did sitting on the steps smoking was well worth the missed opportunity. There will be more H.L.A. in the future. Until then, I’ll just have to stay prepared and notice where ALL outdoor electrical outlets are.
Now I ask you, was climbing a rail and plugging my phone in the electrical outlet behind the flowerbed at the Planned Parenthood building niggerish in your opinion? I like to think of it more as “resourseful.”

I’m not going to say niggerish because I think that word it a little harsh for someone as funny as you are but it was HELLA ghetto.
You should have resorted to desperate measures like myself and used the payphone. To bad I don’t carry my charger around. If your camphone is anything like mine you’ll know why.
HLA!! HLA!!
I’d say resourceful too. But then maybe becuase I’d do that shit too, it doesnt seem niggerish.

@ Monica, I still had my gym bag with me. I went to the gym, then to happy hour. Which ended up stretching into happy hour(s). My charger folds up and is small, anyway. I could carry it with me, depending on what I’m wearing. Not in my front pocket, though. Then I’d look like I was growing a third ball or something LOL.
Stealing toilet paper out of a public bathroom is “Niggerish”! LOL…
Niggerish – Nah. That was more like Macgyver-ish :)
