So Friday I hooked up with my friends at 86 Public Randburg . There’s a reason they are called danger zone.That place was nice until Eskom did what it does best and the back up generator was malfunctioning. It instantly got boring and we were falling asleep. One person even fetched those Bluetooth speakers in their cars and it didn’t help the situation, in fact it made it worse. People actually travel with those speakers in their cars when they go to restaurants 😐.
My friend Kbaybay aka Krabmoney aka many other different monikers was not having it. It was a Friday after all and it was time to groove and not sit around like chatting like adults going through a mid life crisis. So what’s the next best thing to do in Johannesburg? Go to Soweto and turn up. We went to Urban Grill Soweto, a lovey joint in Pimville. You’ll never get disappointed In Soweto, the music is on point , the prices are fair and the girls are also on point. Girls are actually beautiful all over South Africa 🇿🇦 but they have that extra thing in Johannesburg because they are always up to date with the latest trends. We were not there for the girls but I couldn’t help but notice.
We were not disappointed at all , you’d think we drank a Red Bull, Mofoya, Monster and Powerplay cocktail the way we suddenly had our energy back. It was going down hard. We were in our grooving element. I actually lost count of the number of bottles we drank there. I knew it was closing when they came to kick us out and the music was stopped. I was chuffed that finally I could go to sleep because I was toast drunk but the gents had other ideas. At 4am we went to another place in town . That place doesn’t close and one of the guys bought another bottle there and that’s when I realized that sleep is very far from us. I looked at everyone and could see that no one was even contemplating sleep except Kbaybay and I knew if he disappeared he would be in the Benz sleeping. I had to keep it to myself because if I told him he would summon the energy to stay on longer. True to that he disappeared and I found him sleeping in the car and I didn’t say anything to him,I just hopped in , dropped the seat and instantly blacked out. That time it was about 05h30 in the morning .
Next thing I was woken up by the gents to go sleep inside the complex. I didn’t even see how we got there and where we were all I wanted was to sleep. I wasn’t the only but as you know there’s always a stubborn person who thinks we shouldn’t sleep if the liquor is not finished.
Eventually the dust settled and we all went to sleep. I woke up at about 11am and got ready to hit the road back to mbombela. Sure enough my friend came to pick me up and we hit the road. I had one of the worst hangovers known to men and decided to get Chicken Licken wings. My head was pounding hard and I had seen how the wings had solved a lot of people’s hangovers and I thought it would do the same for me. Well to some extent they helped because I slept the whole way from Johannesburg to Mbombela. When we got to Mbombela none of us wanted to groove but it was early so we decided to go watch Bad Boys 🎥 at Riverside Mall. I was feeling a little bit light headed but I was absolutely fine or so I thought . I had successfully managed to avoid a lot of spoilers for that movie. The problems started after I ate those popcorns 🍿. The problems started on the opening scene of that movie and I could feel discomfort in my stomach. I had been so anxious to watch that movie I decided to toughen it up. God was not on my side man as 10 minutes into the movie I made my first sprint to the bathroom. It was not as quick as I thought it would be. I think I did that about 4 times during the movie. I think there was 20 minutes left of the movie and it was getting hot but my stomach was also getting hot. Eskom finally did me a solid by load shedding and in that moment I knew God was back on my and I knew it would take at least 5 minutes for the movie to resume and I went to get rid of all my troubles in the bathroom. That last session made me feel as tops as one could be. I tried giving those cinema operating a piece of my mind because they movie had not resumed. One of those security just said I must keep quiet before I have to run back to the toilet again. I took that on the chin and put my tail between my legs and went back to wait for the movie in silence.
I’m writing this still in the toilet 😔because I lived by the phrase “when in Rome do what the Romans do”.
In conclusion let’s remember that what works for somebody else doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for you.
