RAPPERS IN REAL LIFE: Cool On Cupid..

So leading up to Valentines day, I was feeling muy bueno about having no date nor any plans for our celebration of the day of love. I had been traveling and performing and working so much lately, that I haven't even met anybody new that I could consider a love interest...But in the back of my mind for about the last month, I had an idea that I would be with someone new and we would have a first date on valentines (isn't that nice, i'm being sarcastic)...I'll be damned if it didn't happen...
So the Thursday prior to, I get a phone call from this model that I met and one of my shows in Atlanta. We talk, and trade compliments...and she begins to tell me how the last five years' her valentines days didn't amount to much. She even told me a story where she found out that her BF at the time was cheating on her, and of course she found out that lovely piece of information ON none other than Valentine's DAY...and how much she would REALLY like to have a great Valentines' Day for once and break the cycle..
Meanwhile, I'm having reservations because I'm also hearing the subtle hint of "take me out for valentines and it'll be worth your while"...I'm paraphrasing, but you catch the drift...What I haven't mentioned thus far was that Valentines Day is 1) My parents wedding anniversary, and 2)My younger sisters birthday (Note to potential suitors: Please don't attempt to block time spent with my family or other things I love. I don't expect you to share my enthusiam, just don't hate...its a turn off)...
Nonetheless, although I'm feeling like she is putting the weight of the last 5 valentines' on our first date (OMG), and I think my time table for the day is gonna be crazy tight...I agreed to go out with her...
I knew it then it wasn't gonna work, but I said to myself convincingly, hey I haven't been out in a while...I'm single. I don't have a show tonight, so why not???
So while in the process of planning our date, I come to terms with the fact that I can't think of a single good idea...Which is unlike me, normally I would know where I wanted to go before we hung up the phone...(that shoulda been a sign too)..
So Sat morning, before I left to go pick up all the flowers and gifts and cards for my sisters and parents, and in between V-Day texts to those I wont be seeing...I'm still feeling uneasy about the whole thing...Sooooooo, I hit her up to ask if it would be cool if we could go out on another day. Like I expected, she blew up at me, cussed me out, and told me to have a good night alone. I could have lied or something, but its just not my style...I swear since I have been in Atlanta, I have been cussed out a few times over not taking someone out, not having sex with them, not calling enough...etc. Some people reading this may find it hard to believe, others are probably hoping I don't be so bold as to name them or tell their stories. (no one's on blast tonight) But I'm trying to do the best I can, it was an unfortunate occurrence, and I felt I should be real and let her know. She just didn't like what I had to say. Oh well...
I hit Utopia around midnight and did my thing, but I ended up spending my Valentines' with a pretty girl who just turned 11 and loves her new outfit (I got her FRESH like a pillow with a mint on it!!!)
Do I regret it? Not a bit. 1)I spent my entire day with people I love and wanted to be around. 2)I didn't feel forced into any situations. and 3)I got to make sure that my sisters first real roses came from a man that loves them, not someone who will take advantage of them...and thats muy bueno to me...
I'm a Rapper in Real Life and that's how I feel about it...
