Da Weekend

this past weekend was aight;

Friday:
Saw my babygirl....chilled with her and her mother. talked about Courtney not quitting the basketball team just because the 'other girls' talk down to her. told her to toughen up because thats going to happen a LOT in the real world. just keep at it and get them to respect you by out performinging them. its my baby's first time playing basketball and i know she doesnt really want to do it but i just want her to do ONE season. after that, she doesnt have to.

Saturday:
Didnt do a thing. i was off from work, so i tried to sleep the day away. i didnt care if the weather was nice...i wanted to sleep. alas, im a football junkie, there was a couple of games i wanted to watch. enjoyed seeing Mizzou (University of Missouri) take it to Kansas State, on the road, setting up a showdown next weekend with the University of Kansas. the roar is back in Columbia....GO TIGERS! Ohio State beat Michigan...which brought me down from the high of the Mizzou game. its not that i hate Ohio State (unlike the New England Patriots), i just like Michigan...im just glad Michigan didnt let those earlier season losses get them down.

Sunday:
Work day.....a long work day! the store is open from 11-7, i hate it! so we open up, it hasnt been a good forty-five minutes.....we got a shoplifter! this fool goes into the mens dressing room and stuffs two shirts down his pants. how do i know? i hear him taking the sensors off the clothes....i watch him under the door NOT trying on one item! so, i play it cool, ask to see the choices he made, notice that TWO different shirts have TWO hangers in them, hmmmmm. me being the 'not wanting to see another African-American male locked up' ask the dude to take the shirts out of his pants, leave the store and not come back. well, he complies BUT the L.P. (loss pervention) person on duty wants to flex. he wants to get the guys info, ban him from the MALL and have the police take the guys picture...WHAT HE DO THAT FOR?! The dude takes off running out of the store to his car with the LP guy and myself hot on his heels. the guy jumps into his car....i back up...but the LP guy goes up to the window!

Now, having been around some criminals in my day, i know NOT to roll up on someone sitting in a car!! im yelling at the LP guy to get away from the window....but he continues to stand their talking to the police. ME, i get the plate numbers and back away from the car...just in case something HOT comes flying out the window. the guy darts off like he late for Sunday dinner with Jesus! he gets away, we get the items back and spend the rest of the day laughing about how it was too early in the morning for that to happen. oh yea, did i meantion that was the SECOND shoplifter we chased within a week? Tis the season.
