Out of my Element

Ok...about a week after the event... but i had to share the thought..

Not last week but the week before, that was mine and a girlfriends birthday.. (hers on the 1st and mine actually was monday, the 3rd)... we decide to go out to celebrate..

Now it's been a minute since i've been out.. to the club that is.. after becoming a mommy, the nightlife consist of reading bed stories, watching G movies, coloring, etc.. (oh, and once their sleep, enjoying my honey in our "US TIME")... so, we decide to go to this Gentlemen's Club on the southside of Milwaukee called The Airport Lounge.. it was ladies night and they had a handful of male strippers and i had never been before.. i must say i rather enjoyed myself.... not all of the men were up to par and i think i might have enjoyed myself more watching the women...BUT... i digress...

After the show, we decide to head back into the city to a club called the Onxy... now my girl warned before we went and actually gave me some choices detailing the difference in atmospheres... but for whatever reason i chose the Onxy once remembering how "crunk" i used to get at the club, not being able to get me off the dance floor.. it's a nice crowd once we get there.. not too many but enough.. we sat down for a minute before getting a drink... after awhile...and after my high had come down.. i was amazed at how out of my element i felt.. not that i was the oldest chick in the club... BUT definetly felt like it... see i'm not a big "get silly" wit it, ying yang twins, lil boosie type of gal... don't get me wrong, i'm not ALL neo soul... i do like an occassional track from lil wayne, yung joc and dem...LOL but this was a non-stop night of "gone an shake that azz" ... "get silly" ... etc..

Have i gotten that old that now "them young kids music" is starting to sound like garbage to me..LOL ... i know plenty of people that love that music that enjoy that music and they are around my age.. late twenties..

I don't know what it was... it was strange but at the same time if felt good to know myself in that way.. knowing that i'm getting older and some things are no longer that amusing/interesting, felt good to know ...

So with all that said.. it may be a long time, if at all, before i go out to the club again.. unless i can locate me a bar/club that plays neo soul with a mix of some mainstream hip hop(ya know the stuff on the radio, i.e, stuntin is a habit, so fly, etc.), with big plush pillows and big coffee tables, inscents burning.. (and if it was legal, a little Mota in the air-- Amsterdam for sure), i probably won't be doing too much of the "going out " thang...
