Go ‘head get down
Go 'head girl
Go 'head get down
-- Kanye West

First of all I should probably just tell you that I am all over that song. I LOVE it! Apparently I’m not the only one because it’s on fiyah right now. Anyway, am I the only one that has interesting experiences in stores, restaurants, Arby’s, etc.? Or maybe I just have a knack for exaggerating mundane experiences for the purpose of entertaining my friends via my blog or otherwise.

Today I ran over to Arby’s for lunch. I had a bad headache and I was really just trying to run in and out and lucky for me, it was relatively empty. Now, I’ve visited this establishment for 3 years so I pretty much know the folks that work there. Today I didn’t recognize anyone.

There is typically a manager that keeps things moving and it’s usually the same lady. Today it was a guy and he was all over it – he’d be all like, “Yes and here’s a number 4 for here with curly” etc. This was all done in a sort of sing song fashion all the while he was sort of bouncing around, too. “Where’s my turkey sub, where’s my turkey sub.” I watched, not really amused, until ---

“She give me money, when I’m in need… Giant roast beef to go with a Jamocha shake… oh she a trifling friend indeed…” Ok, that’s what I’m talking about. I so wanted to jump in “Now I ain’t saying she a gold digger…” But I didn’t. The next order came up, “Ok, who had a number 2 to go?” Well, that’d be me, sir! I stepped up and he handed it to me, promptly turned on his heel with, “SHE GIVE ME MONEY…” I asked the cashier for ketchup – “I need some ketch—“ “WHEN I’M IN NEED…” “—up and Horsey sauce plea—“ “SHE GIVE ME MONEY” “—please.” “WHEN I’M IN NEED.” With that I left and let him continue singing the Ray Charles sample. And NO, that is NOT Jamie Foxx, people – it is Ray Charles. Jamie only does the part at the beginning.

Apparently the Arby's guy’s woman ain’t no gold digger because he just kept saying She give me money. LOVE IT!

It gets a little rough
Work a little harder but it never is enough
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not getting soft
All I want is a couple days off

UGH. Can't. Catch. My. Breath. Maybe I'll post soon. Sorry.
