freshly sharpened pencils...

rewind just a bit. you know last december sims and i went to this club in sacramento called avalon. we got in for free as we were on the VIP guest list. dont ask me how. it was a really good evening - as most nights out are. it was also my first night out in cali.

after all the break dancing and admiring the latinas gracefully shaking their booties, we were interrupted by a crackling microphone and some black dude shouting inaudibly at the masses. there was to be a live act. we all know how annoying live acts can be in clubs. no offence at all but some of these wannabe tupacs and kenny latimores should remain wannabes in the shower.

after a good 120 seconds, some guy came onto the microphone. i really didn't hear his name during the introduction [didn't bother to find out] but he was supposedly the 'next usher'. and he could sing. the girls went wild, sims even said that he was going to be big. i didn't think much of it. people who disturb our fun at clubs!!

as it turns out, that guy happens to be ne-yo. his album is driving girls crazy this end. it's number 1 on the billboard charts - and his song, so sick [also number 1 on the singles chart], is being abused on the airwaves. i am so sick.
