In honor of Valentine’s Day for the single people out there such as myself, I’ll do everyone a favor by posting something funny, I mean you need something to raise your spirits on the one day when being single is magnified to the 1000th degree. I’m not going to be one of those pundits who down Valentine’s Day conveniently when they don’t have anyone to trick away money on. Besides, my Valentine this year is my mother, whose birthday is today, happy birthday mom.
Anyways, before I post my favorite Valentine’s Day video, I went to a popular Japanese steakhouse in Augusta yesterday, by myself. I learned quickly that I need to put japanese steakhouse on my list of “Places Not to Randomly Venture Alone on a Weeknight”. I got there and when I told the hostess I was dining alone, she made one of those faces Bill Cosby makes when he sees a young black kid with his pants sagging halfway down his butt. I’m just glad she didn’t announce, “Jackson, party of ONE“, when she called for me to be seated. I wouldn’t have minded though, it would have been funny. Nonetheless, when I go to my table, it’s full of couples where all the guys had the “I’m spending $50+ bucks on this meal, I better not just be dropping you back off at home” face. High comedy. Anyways, the way everyone is looking at me at the table, I felt like Magic Johnson when he announced he had HIV and nobody in the NBA would come within 25 feet of guarding him. Even the cook, who looked a little too much like Carlos Mencia to be working in a Japanese restaurant, asked me if everything was ok. Good times! Well, just wanted to share that, not sure if it made you laugh or not, but hopefully it made your day a little easier.
Lastly, in honor of Valentine’s Day, I want to post the video link to one of my favorite R&B songs, “Georgy Porgy” by Eric Benet and Faith Evans. What exactly does it have to do with Valentine’s Day? Not much, but the unintentional comedy in the video is off the charts. Two things to watch: 1) The amount of time it takes Benet to fall to the ground after he is hit by the car, it’s like he turned into Neo from The Matrix or something and 2) Benet’s creepy conservation voice at the beginning of the video, I think Michael Jackson served as his voice coach. Also, this video ranks high on the list of “Videos that Have Nothing to Do with the Song”. Click here for the link. Enjoy and Happy Valentine’s Day!
