31st Birthday: I Didn’t Get the Duke
Posted by Raymonn | In The Archives of Featured, Lifestyle
First, I want to say thanks to all my friends that contacted me to wish me a great birthday. You guys are great and I love you tons. I hope I can see some of you soon. But I know that life sometimes keep crowded with things to do.
What are you doing for your birthday? I plan on hanging out tonight at Marz, Zens, and or Barrymore’s. Not sure which one will be first and or last. But if you’ve been to any one of these establishments you’ll agree that each of them provides it’s own unique dapper.
Zens, I especially love the blueberry pancake martini (I’m still a tough man, don’t judge). Marz, have an upscale New Yorkish feel that caters to my love for the city itself. They also serve appetizers that are mouth watering. And lastly, but certainly not the least, Barrymore’s. Barrymore’s is what I like to call a bespoke establishment. It’s the only one of it’s kind. Especially in Lincoln Nebraska. The atmosphere is at its best when the crowd comes in. It’s the only place I know, when its packed, is not cramped. The old movie theater is a charm. The high 40ft ceilings makes for the greatest of sound when local jazz artist like Darryl White and his quartet plays on the east wall. I’ll enjoy all three tonight maybe (pretty sure I will).
As for the other most asked questions. I will try and answer them as efficiently as I can remember and in no particular order.
Are you cutting your hair (miss understanding from facebook)? No, not yet? I’ve only gotten an edge up. I’m still developing the plan to reinvent my look. More on that later.
Are you getting one of the old fro hairstyles from the 70’s called The Duke? No, I was considering the fohawk (afro/mohawk - see here, and here). The Duke would be more maintenance than the dreads (ha). But if I was to get a Duke it would be the Playboy(see the full catalog of Dukes). Only because it’s the best round and clean edge next to the Swahilian. Not cause of the implications of the name. (smiling)
Do you feel old? Nope! I feel really good actually. I only had one episode where I thought I was getting old. It was when I let myself physically get out of shape. That’s not a problem anymore.
What are you doing for your birthday? Hanging out at Zens, Barrymore’s, and or Marz. Probably all three. Come out if you can. If you have my phone number…you are invited. Or if you are a friend on facebook.
Will you take 31 shots? Hell no! I have one stomach. I don’t want to ruin it. Maybe one or two shots. I was told by my best friend that a shot of Henessy and Red Bull will make me a crunk drunk. I’m sure he’s right. I only have capacity for 1. I’m a lite weight when it comes to drinking (not experienced).
What are you wearing tonight? I’m not sure. I need a birthday shirt. But I haven’t had time to go look for one. Since I’m on a budget…the best outfit to wear is my 31 year old birthday suit. I wouldn’t last five minutes. I’d be on TMZ for being “A naked Jamaican looking brother in downtown Lincoln Nebraska.”
Well, I’ve answered as much as I can remember. If more typical birthday questions come to mind I will edit this post and you will be able to see the answers. Or better yet, just leave a comment with the questions you have and I will respond. The answers will be straight forward. Ask anything you want.
