A night out in SoBe and Downtown Miami

It's a good thing I took it easy yesterday during the day because last night was out of control. I was dropped off at great "new" bar on Lincoln Road called Halo. If you're from DC and thought you heard of this place, you are right. The owners of DC's Halo, decided to recreate the success down south and that they did. Halo had quite the mix. On any given corner of the bar, I saw someone in their 50's and their boy toy, a model, fashionista, wannabees, black/white, an exotic indigenous guy and last but certainly not least -ME! LOL.

I went with Johan, who is one of the few card holding members of Halo. I won't say how he got it, but let's just say you will see Halo at least once or 10x on his credit card bill. LOL. If I had to pick a time last night, when I knew it was going to go downhill, it would be 12:00a.m. Why is it that I know the exact time, you say. Well apparently it was one of the bartenders b-day and since Johan is an extended member of the staff there, LOL, we all had bday shots! And the celebrity guest for the evening was PATRON! Needless to say it was literally just downhill from there. I mixed too many liquors, my stomach thought I was just having long island ice teas, HOLLERRR.

Next stop was megaclub in Downtown Miami, now in hindsight, we should have taken cab over but Johan drove and God was watching over us because it was just careless. DRINK/DRIVE don't mix and I should have known better! We got into the club and it was jammed packed with hot latin boys, yay! I was quite the hit because I kept on getting approached, but this was a girl's night out and I wasn't looking to meet anyone. All I wanted to do is JUST DANCE...Just dance, gonna be okay, da da doo-doo-mmmJust dance, spin that record babe, da da doo-doo-mmmJust dance, gonna be okay, d-d-d-danceDance, dance, just, j-j-just dance. LOL, those were the lyrics from my favorite song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M65zI9LH-as

And dance I did, from the hip-hop room to the house side, from ground floor to stage. I really had a blast, thanks Johan! Now I did meet a boy last night, but was turned off when he said, "Hi my name.....I make $120k...I'm about to be offered a great job....". I'm like, whatever happened to "Hi, how's it going?" -ughhh.. He went on to say how he just got divorced 6 months ago and is exploring his new found sexuality. He actually had an interesting story, he and his wife hung out with another couple. He was never attracted to guys until he met this couple and he and the guy started hanging out a lot. That eventually lead to them having sex, but it didn't last because the couple moved back to Argentina. I find his story facinating because he's now 29 and "coming" out and I've been out since my teens. I just can't imagine living a double life and only feel sorry for people that do.

Well I didn't get home until 6:30a.m. and was up by 10a.m. mainly because my body woke me up and said, "Good Morrrrrrrrrrrrning! you liver is about to collapse, please drink some water...Thanks" LOL. I took my aunt to church and went to Hialeah to get some good Cuban treats (and some food too, teehee) and visit the family. On my way to Vicky's bakery, great spot for any tourists coming through Miami, I was listening to a gospel radio station and before I decided to change stations I listened in. It spoke about change and how some people feel like it's the end of the world when a drastic change occurs in our lives.

I started to think about my life and how life has changed since unemployed. What if I don't get into any schools, what will become of my life. I can't tell you how many times I've been told, don't worry you'll get in.... But you know what, I JUST MIGHT NOT! I have friends that applied to the first round in Oct '08 and they were rejected. This is the toughest year, EVER, to apply and/or get accepted into B-school. So yeah, I'm scared right about now. I also have some friends that have been invited for interview already and I haven't heard a peep.

But right when I feel like I'm about to lose control, I remember who is the one driving and then I feel a little better. If I don't get into school, then it wasn't meant to be and I just have to continue searching for my purpose in life. I can't worry about the things I can't control, all I can do is act/react/learn/listen and leave the rest to God.
