Ungrateful £@$%

I haven't had too many lady problems lately, life just seems a little dull with out the absurd encounters. So check this out. Wednesday evening I had the fantastic pleasure of helping my neighbor move. Mind you, I'm your typical shallow man and basically my neighbor is pretty damn good looking, so of course i'm able to help, no expectations...really. It was your typical move, unfun and lengthy; about six hours. To make a long story short at the end of the whole thing she says "alright." That's it...No thank you or any gesture of gratitude for that matter, just an alright, as in get goin. I must have missed something. Maybe moving a bed, couch, TV and other such chunky objects is no longer deserving of thanks. Tell me, is this okay? I thought it was pretty messed up. I'm sure somebody will condone it.

I no longer give compliments

Usually before i write something i think about it for a couple of days so i dont come off all emotional like but this one is something else. i´ve been in brazil for what seems like three months but really is only 2.5 weeks. Everybody talks about how brazil got the greatest women and you´re gonna fall in love and not come back and so forth. That aint the case. Dont get me wrong, there are some that i wanna bring back, but just as i suspected some aint gettin it done.
So after each meet to get paid you go down to the secretary´s office and they make a copy of your passport, you sign some paper and they give you cash in exchange. Well at this particular meet there was this FIRE brazilian girl working there who gave me my money and spoke okay english so i figured i´d say something on the way out the door.

"you´re absolutely beautiful."

she replies

"No, thanks"

What? I was confused. It took me a second to even realize what just went on. I´m not even sure what the tone was, it was sorta sheepish but also a little disgusted that i even spoke. It wasnt the 1st time i´ve told a girl that but it was the 1st time i´ve been shot down. I thought it was pretty innocuous. I guess in giving a compliment she thought i was trying to get at her. I cant say that i wasnt trying to, but i certainly didnt give her the full court press. So as every tick of the clock passes i get more and more hot. I walk up to big aubs room and tell him about it and he had the same reaction i had. He turned out to be more hot than i was and he´s still indignant like 3 days later. One bad apple spoils the bunch. From now on, i say nothing. Also, i´m taking the D.O. approach. If you talk to me and i act stuck up or like youre not on my level it´s probably because youre not

Sherquatta (Jenkins...probably)

Well, this actually happened about a week ago but I finally realized that I need to say something about it. I went to target to get my customary box of cereal when I ran into this pretty young lady with whom I somehow engaged in a lengthy conversation. She was well spoken, outgoing, down to earth and so on. So, on the way out the door I built up the gumption to ask her name and get her number. She says "I'm Sherquatta, and you are ?" I wasn't sure what she said until I gave her my phone and she typed it in. She said it with such confidence and she really seemed oblivious to how ridiculous it sounds...Sherquatta? Seriously? What the hell is that? I just hope when it came out of her mouth that my face didn't show the confusion and possible disgust. In my previous dealings with women with hood names, they dont think their name is anything other than exotic, literally. Maybe I'm wrong, I mean most people will never say or spell my last name correctly, and Maybe we have the same last name...Sherquatta Sturdivant :(
