LAME!

*Disclaimer: I don't usually bash people on the mean innanets, but I couldn't resist. I won't go too hard, so don't get your bloomers in a bunch. And forgive me for the length of this blog.

Last night me and one of my besties went out. Started out at Hiro and realized that it was a tang fest so we bounced. Since the night was still young we decided to head over to Cafeteria. *sidebar: This place has the bomb waffle banana split...

While we were wrapping things up with our meal, I noticed that Christian from Harlem Heights was there. It's no secret that I think he's a cutie. I saw him last week at another spot and I was smitten, but I digress. When we were done, I told my homegirl that we needed to get on the move. Come to find out he was with another associate of ours and the other cute guy Pierre. *sidebar: I thought that Pierre was cute too until I saw Christian... This is where things get hilarious to my friend and I. Let me start by saying that we are FAR from being groupie type girls. But cute is cute. If it was some other cute dude, I probably would have said the same damn thing (I'm single, don't judge me lol). The slight bit of fame that these guys think they have isn't impressive and clearly has gone STRAIGHT to their heads (Christian not so much, he's a typical NY/Harlem dude). At first, I didn't mind sitting with them and seeing what these guys were about. First off, Pierre was drunk and Christian was just chill, slightly standoffish but that's coming from a Cancer who walks away from conversations if I lose interest. I am a perceptive person and I can pretty much size someone up within the first five minutes. I'm not the friendliest person so if I don't know you I don't talk to you. The only thing with this situation is we were sitting at the same table so I couldn't be that rude... (GETTING TO THE MEAT...)

So while I am sitting there taking it all in, I noticed that the seemingly "sweet," mature and "noble" Pierre is actually pretty friggin' pompous. On the show, his character seems kind of genuine and wants to help people to get out of tough situations. I thought that was a good quality, especially in a young Black man. What I saw last night did not indicate how he portrays himself on the program. I watch this show every week against my better Harlem judgment. There was one episode when he went out with Brooke (Ye's ex) and I thought that she clowned him without merit. Of course with good editing it made her look like a bad guy because she basically clowned him. He was slightly corny but I thought it was cute. She went on to say that he's one of those guys that would talk a lot about himself to make himself look good, but once again that wasn't shown. Last night, in a matter of five minutes (no lie), I sized him up to be a pompous asshole that puts on a facade to make him look better to others. Alcohol is a helluva drug and I believe that is when people's true personalities come out. He gave a toast to "stardom." There were some other girls at the table and he was squeezing one of their legs. He even tried to do that to my homegirl, but since we aren't into all of that she shut that down.

While I was conversing with Christian to just pick his brain about his experience, what's next, his current job and his true Harlemness; I notice that Pierre is just talking and talking about nothing. I wanted to ask him about his organization that he is working with and if this new found "fame" was helping his cause but after my five minutes of sizing his jerky ass up I realized that it wasn't even worth it. You can usually tell a lot about someone if you knew how they grew up. I determined that he was overcompensating for something. We probably grew up the same way, only thing is I grew up in Harlem and he in Trenton, NJ. He seems like he is just now coming to terms with it. I wouldn't even be surprised if he lied about how he grew up when he was in college. But he might have also been braggadocious about his growing up just to say "look at where I came from", which wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't so damn boastful. There is nothing worse than a good looking guy who is an asshole. That just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Christian on the other hand is chill, he's a Pisces and Cancers get a long with them best. Pierre is a Leo (run for the hills). When we found out his sign, it just confirmed my analysis. Here is where things could have gotten ugly. He had the AUDACITY to ask my homegirl if he could "Have sex with her in the bathroom " (he actually used the F word) after she asked if he was going to come through to her radio show. That put the nail in the coffin. How dare he even have the balls to say something like that? I understand that some girls would giggle and smile and agree to that but he picked the wrong one. I mean really, you are on a reality show on BET. FOH!

In addition when they were done eating and the check was left, our associate took out her wallet and proceeded to pay for the whole thing. HALT! Are you kidding me? You have all this pompous pseudo celebrity and you are going to let a chick pay for you and your boy's meal? FOH. We had to tell her to put her portion out and let these dudes pay for their own ish. Pierre would have let her too, if sense wasn't spoken to her.

All in all that experience was Hilarious. I've met celebrities that weren't nearly as jerky as this dude was. I treat them all like regular people. The significant difference is they have a little money (or a lot) and they are on TV. These guys were no exception especially since they weren't nearly close to stardom and still struggling. Yes, they have a little bit of a fan base and girls flocking to them but once this show is over, they will not be remembered.

When we were gathering our belongings, we overheard them talking about going to a party and that they were going to have tables and bottles so before we left, my home girl said out loud, "We should go to Body and pop some bottles." This is what Brooke said to Briana and I thought that was the dumbest thing I ever heard. SMH. After it was said Pierre and Christian turned around and said "What?" She said it again and needless to say they were displeased. And that was it, we left with no words and didn't even chuck a deuce at them.

That's all folks.
