Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather VS Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton: Prediction
Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather VS Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton: Prediction
Saturday, December 8th at The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Floyd “Pretty Boy” Mayweather (38-0 (24 KOs), Grand Rapids, Michigan) will take on Ricky “The Hitman” Hatton (43-0 (31 KOs), Manchester, England) in the biggest fight between undefeated Welterweights since Oscar de la Hoya and Felix Trinidad back in 1999.
Stylistically the fighters couldn’t be more different. Mayweather is the slick boxer. Hatton is the hard charging brawler. Personality wise, the fighters couldn’t be more different either. Mayweather is all Muhammad Ali- Nouveau with a hip-hop twist. Hatton is all fried fish and chips, pubs and pints with his mates. This is what makes for an interesting fight.
The keys for Mayweather are simple. Keep the jab pumping, use ring generalship, superior hand and foot speed, keep the fight in the center of the ring, use defense, and frustrate Hatton.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.- Paid The Cost
Hatton’s keys to victory are simple as well. Pressure Floyd, make it a street fight, foul if need be, rough up Floyd, bully him, intimidate him, and hit the body no one has ever hit the body before.
Ricky Hatton compilation
A classic match-up if I have ever seen one.
Floyd is a special fighter that comes along not too often. And his game is perfect to beat a guy like Hatton. Hatton is the one that needs to fight a perfect fight to beat Floyd. Personally, I think it is going to be more difficult for Floyd to win than many are anticipating. Hatton does have power, plenty of heart, and does have speed. But I have thought people have had speed before, and when they jump in the ring with Mayweather, they look slow.
Some factors that should be considered in the fight are that Hatton gains alot of weight between fights. We saw what happened to Fernando Vargas last Friday against Mayorga. Also, I heard that Mayweather was on some kind of Dancing with Celebrities type show. Going Hollywood never helps a fighter.
I really think this fight could end up being a very good one. But I have been around the fight game a long time and I grew up with kids like Floyd and Ricky. The one thing I can remember is that the kids like Floyd won. I also think Floyd will win in Las Vegas. Clear cut decision. But I will be watching to see if any different will happen.

Guest G Manifesto: Side Hustles: The Art of Enhancing BankRoll
Although I have never met Michael formally, we have shared some correspondence regarding Side Hustles. In any occupation (at least any worth pursuing) there is usually always one big pay day or shall we say: Score. For Athletes, this may come as a signing bonus or perhaps after winning a tournament or fighting a bout (think huge novelty checks). For G’s and the like, it’s that final heist, the one that sets you up for life. For entrepreneurs, its bringing your company public. For a Platinum Digger, its that divorce you always waited for (no pre-nup, of course). For Bankers, its a Christmas bonus and for Lawyers, it’s that huge settlement (asbestos, pharmaceuticals, tobacco ect.).
On a side note… when you think about it, Fat Cat lawyers have the good life, they have their hands deep in products supplied to the street without being tied to the block. And their cut is a third off the top…But that’s neither Euro or Puro.
The point is, what do Professionals do while waiting for their Score? Some sit content and complacent while others pick up a some side scratch. Your guest writer (A banker by nurture and a G by nature) is cut from a cloth that insists upon side hustles. But before I go into further detail I must provide a little more color…
By definition, Side Hustles are those which bring in alternative revenue streams; they are not designed to nor should replace your Grand Hustle. In fact, a side hustle should directly relate to the core business. For example, Athletes do endorsements; G's with deep connections put money in the streets with 2 points of vigor…weekly; Platinum Diggers hook their friends with plastic surgeons and Bankers put money in alternative investments (hedge funds and private equity).
Well back to the topic at hand…A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to discuss this subject with an old associate/mentor of mine and serious heavyweight in the Hedge Fund game. In true form to The G Manifesto, I think I was sporting a 3 button Heather Grey Etro suit with blue steel underlining to match the blue steel desert with mother of pearl handle tucked behind the jacket complementing the mother of pearl buttons on my powder blue Brioni shirt and Rolex Daytona watch face. Since trading Lenox Ave. for Park Ave, I haven’t had much need for the burner but I'm haunted by my past and I still love to accessorize.
Anyway, while dining at the Kobe Club on 58th Street, noshing on some saki cured salmon with tobiko cream cheese and bagel chips and ordering cuts of Kobe Beef like Shaquille O’Neal, my former mentor proposed a side business which he discovered while vacationing in Thailand. Countries like Thailand, Bali, Myanmar, The Salmon Islands, Comoros and the Philippines are in serious need of cheap building materials. Recognizing this need for cooper and steel, He asked if I wanted in on purchasing old decommissioned cruise ships and navy vessels, scraping the liners and selling the metals to these countries. This, of course, would be a side hustle. I would be putting my money to work for me. We raised our glasses of La Grande Dame and toasted to Health & Wealth.
On another side note... I would have probably agreed for free... this endeavor gives me an excellent opportunity to twist some Philippine princesses while overseeing construction of the landing strip near my vacation home.
In closing, sometimes ideas aren’t as easily presented to you nor is everyone in a position to let their money work for them. My advice would be to focus on your trade or craft. Understand your business and see what works. Try not to think too far away from your core business. Owning a car dealership with a body shop on the side is a prime example. The art of the hustle is complementing your current enterprise and utilizing existing ties and relations (think horizontal/vertical integration) . Side Hustles align businesses and build empires.
We all saw what happened to Nate Newton and Martha Stewart… Athletes shouldn’t push weight nor should Home Makers play with stocks.

Machismo: Fernando “El Feroz” Vargas VS Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga
Machismo: Fernando “El Feroz” Vargas VS Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga
Next Friday, November 23, Fernando “El Feroz” Vargas (26-4, 22 KO's) from Oxnard, California will meet Ricardo “El Matador” Mayorga (28-6-1, 23 KO's, 1 NC), from Managua, Nicaragua at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, in a fight where both boxers don’t like each other too much. This fight is interesting for a number of reasons. First off, the fight will be fought at 166 pounds, and neither man has fought at weight above 160. The fight has already been postponed once when El Feroz was diagnosed with anemia. Both fighters have exchanged harsh words, and hard punches at press conferences. And Mayorga has been puffing on cigarettes all the way.
Vargas, the star of La Colonia Gym, is coming off a two fight losing streak to “Sugar” Shane Mosley. The last outing was pretty brutal. And truth be told, Vargas has not looked impressive in victory since his win over Ghanaian legend Ike Quartey. And that was in 2000! In between, Vargas fought very inspired in devastating losses to Oscar De La Hoya and Felix “Tito” Trinidad.
Although Fernando has seemed to come up short in most of his big fights, he always comes to fight and has tons of heart. That is why he is destined to make The G Manifesto’s Hall of Fame. He is a very entertaining fighter to watch and has great boxing style. That is one of the reasons he never has a problem packing the house. He is a very athletic boxer with good defense and heavy hands. Vargas has got a solid jab and can land vicious hooks and uppercuts.
Ferocious Fernando Vargas highlights
Mayorga is also coming off a defeat at the hands of De La Hoya. El Matador has also not really looked great in a win since he blasted out Vernon “The Viper” Forrest twice in 2003.
Mayorga has been boxing’s Wildman in recent history. His training regimen has been straight out of The G Manifesto’s playbook; smoking cigarettes, drinking, partying, swooping girls and sparring. He punches like a wrecking ball but is oftentimes off balance and his defense suffers as a result. Not like he really cares. Mayorga seems to like to be hit and fights with Machismo personified. His overhand right is a deadly weapon, but sometimes a razor sharp boxer can expose him. Trinidad and De La Hoya have shown that his granite jaw can be cracked.
Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga (highlights)
The blueprint to defeating Mayorga has already been laid down by Trinidad and De La Hoya. It is really up to Vargas to execute it. Mayorga is going to do everything in his power to lure Vargas into a slugfest. In fact, everything Mayorga has done so far (insults, taunts, disses) has been done to piss Vargas off and get him out of his game plan. Well, that, and to sell tickets. The fight does have the potential to be a brutal war and could be a classic. I have a feeling that one fighter might just fold before it turns into a bloodbath. Which fighter folds is any ones guess. This is one of the hardest fights of the year to guess who is going to win. I am leaning towards Mayorga (mostly because he smokes cigarettes during training and in the ring after a win), but the Pro-Vargas Staples Center crowd could play a factor. See you at ringside…
The second property to open on the Las Vegas Strip,The Frontier casino-hotel was imploded on Tuesday.
The 16-story Frontier Casino was felled with over 1,000 pounds of explosives to make way for a multibillion-dollar resort which is set to open in 2011.
Elad Group owner and Israeli billionaire Yitzhak Tshuva, who is partnering to build an $8 billion megaresort where the New Frontier stood, was on hand.
Las Vegas New Frontier Hotel Implosion
The Frontier was the first "themed" casino in Las Vegas. It was also is very well known for being the first place that Elvis Presley performed in the city. Ronald Regan also performed at The Frontier. Billionaire Howard Hughes once owned it as well.
IDB Group and Elad Group, the owner of The Plaza hotel in New York, said the new property will include a luxury hotel with about 3,500 rooms. There will of course be the de rigueur residences and high end retail stores. No doubt aiming for the high end of the marketplace. Which of course, is the future of the Las Vegas Strip. High-end all the way.
The north end of the strip has and is going through a lot of changes. Donald Trump's condo towers is going to open early next year. Wynn's $2.2 billion Encore is supposed to be completed in early 2009. Also in 2009 is the $2.8 billion dollar Fontainebleau Hotel. MGM Mirage is also working on mega project with Kerzner International (the cats behind The Atlantis in The Bahamas) and Dubai World for The Strip's North End in 2012.
Sounds like we got some fun casino openings to hit up.
I have always held a certain affinity for professional female tennis players. Hell, I have swooped may fair share. And although I have never swooped Anna Kournikova, I have smoked cigarettes with her on Miami Beach.
Martina Hingis has recently retired because she has failed a test which revealed trace of cocaine in her blood. Hingis denies that she has ever used cocaine.
My opinion on the whole deal is: Who cares? Either way, it’s not like cocaine really helped her tennis that much. Even if it did, give female tennis players a pass. After all, professional female tennis players are some of the flyest girls out there. They are the last type of girls we want to crack down on as a society. Personally, I think we should crack down on white girls that can't dance. But that might just be me.
Even if she did beeks, who really cares? Someone has to buy cocaine. Cocaine makes the world go round. Right? It help build the skyscrapers in Miami anyway. Cocaine Cowboys.

It seems everywhere you turn today there is an attack on our liberty to smoke. Even the fools in Hollywood have jumped into the game. Talk about a blow to artistic integrity. The hypocrisy of it all doesn't sit well with me. Everyone seems to ignore the Social, Psychological, and Aesthetic benefits to smoking. I am convinced that anyone that is anti-smoking has never sat in a booth of a top shelf restaurant drinking Vino and smoking cigarettes with a Parisian Model Girl. Look into it. You will be pro-smoking too.
If I look back on my young life, my finest moments have consisted of a Custom Italian suit, a full-bodied red, a key to a penthouse suite in my pocket, a bankroll thick like Beyonce and Vida Guerra, a booth in a Michelin starred restaurant, a beautiful girl looking at me, hypnotized and a lit cigarette dangling from my mouth. Moments like those, are to me, what Life is all about (and of course what happens succeeding). The rest is just bullshit.

What lovelier sight is there than that double row of white cigarettes, lined up like soldiers on parade and wrapped in silver paper?

Miguel Cotto defeats Sugar Shane Mosley in a Close Decision
Miguel Cotto defeats Sugar Shane Mosley in a Close Decision
Miguel Cotto defeats Shane Mosley in a Close Decision in a packed house at Madison Square Garden. The fight did not disappoint in any way as it was action packed throughout and provided some twists and turns. Both fighters put on a beautifully violent performance where there were no losers, especially boxing.
Sugar Shane started the fight out fast, opening with a pair of body shots of all things. This foreshadowed the interesting role reversal in the later rounds. The Puerto Rican Star quickly found his mark with his jab and was able to touch Shane pretty consistently.
Round Two to Round Five were increasing violent as Shane stood flat footed and stayed in the pocket winging single and double overhand rights off Cotto’s brain. Cotto often found his mark with a punishing jab, solid hooks and a vicious straight right. Both fighters showed great chins and incredible resilience to stand up to the punishment.
Round Six saw Mosley switch up the game plan and bounce on his toes with Cotto stalking. Even though Shane has way more experience in big fights, Cotto seemed way more poised. Both fighters continued to land sizzling punches. Cotto’s slightly harder, Mosley’s more flash.
In Round Nine the fight took a shift as Cotto seemed hurt for some reason that wasn’t easily apparent to us at ringside (it was later determined that Cotto suffered a cut inside his mouth and was swallowing blood, much like in the fight with Zab Judah.) Mosley now was the aggressor and Cotto moving and counterpunching.
Rounds Ten and Eleven were more of the same with Mosley stalking and Cotto moving and counter punching. Mosley was throwing with bad intentions and not “shake and baking” like he usually does. The amazing thing was that Cotto was effectively fighting while backing up and landing the cleaner punches on Sugar Shane.
Round Twelve had very little fireworks and possibly kept this fight from becoming a classic. No doubt it was a great fight. The close decision, that truthfully could have gone either way, went to Cotto.
The punch stats for the fight were amazing: each fighter landed 248 punches. Cotto’s were slightly cleaner but depending on what you were looking for, the fight could have been won by either boxer.
Fedoras off to Shane for staying in the pocket and making this a great fight. I have never been the biggest Sugar Shane fan (more a result of so many other good welterweights from his era), but his heart and class and graciousness in defeat won me over. If this is Shane’s last fight, he built quite a legacy for himself, and in my mind he finally deserves the nickname “Sugar”. Cotto has a great future ahead of him and Boxing has another star. You would have to be a fool not to want to see Cotto fight the winner of Mayweather-Hatton.
(Keep in mind that this Chamber of The G Manifesto refers primarily to Southern California Girls)
Recently, I was in Katsuya Hollywood throwing down some sushi and peeting some cold milky Sake Doburoku (moloko-plus) with one of my associates and peers, Hugo, AKA The Viper. We were trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening. I was suited down, in a porcupine quill sharp, Navy 2 button Ozwald Boateng Suit with custom accents, Cornflower Blue Prada shirt, sky blue stripped Zegna tie, Brioni pocket square, chrome Desert Eagle and handmade shoes from London. Hugo, was in a Gucci suit, shirt by, I think, Zegna, Armani tie, Dior pocket square, Glock 19 and Gucci slip-ons. Both of us had more shells than Adidas tops. Overall, I looked more refined than Hugo, although Hugo has been going to my tailor and I have to admit, his Gucci Suit was dope.
Anyways, the competition in Katsuya was soft as Tuna Belly, and we were the only G’s in the spot, so we were creating quite a stir with the Southern California actress girls. We had a chokehold on Katsuya Hollywood that even Scuba Steve would have found it hard to breathe in our League. One pretty fly blonde girl came up and gave Hugo her number, instead of me, but in my defense, the girl was sitting behind me and facing Hugo, so I don’t think she got a good look at my brutally handsome mug.
Regardless, Hugo and I got to talking about some of the similarities and differences between 90’s Girls and New Millennium Girls in Southern California, as we both have been extremely active in both decades. A subject, that I feel we are both aficionados, as we both have swooped girls from Malibu to Sunset Strip to The Beverly Center to Newport Beach to Laguna Beach to La Jolla to the border. And since “88, we have both been wildin’ with electrical tape.
Souls of Mischief - '93 til infinity
Most top Playboys from the 90’s era are either; retired, married, locked up, balding, out of shape, insane, stuttering from too many E-Tabs, strung out, hit with a RICO, overdosed, or out The Game for one reason or another. And, most top Playboys from the New Millennium didn’t do too much damage or were too young during the 90’s to really make an impact.
So, here are some of our highlights from our conversation: (side note: this is potentially a very valuable data sheet for the guy was has been inactive for the greater part of the 00’s due to marriage and is now divorced and back on the scene. The Game has done changed.)

The New Millennium Girl: Actually says “O-M-G”. (Seriously, I have heard New Millennium Girls say this.)
The 90’s Girl: Let you take naked pictures of her. (not like this was my kind of thing, I have way too much respect for women)
The New Millennium Girl: Still lets you take naked pictures of her. But occasionally says “you are not going to put these on the Internet are you?” (The Internet Objection). Or sometimes, she lets you take naked pictures of her (and has her poses down) in hopes that they will end up on the Internet to further her “career”.
Tupac, Keep Ya Head Up
The 90’s Girl: Loved G’s that looked like a young Andy Garcia, like your humble author.

The 90’s Girl: Feminine Grooming habits were a surprise every time.
The New Millennium Girl: Feminine Grooming habits taken from Porn Stars.
The 90’s Girl: Would sometimes appreciate etiquette such as opening a door, or pulling out a chair for her.

I guess, as much as things change, they stay the same. By the way, the Kampachi sashimi was pretty decent at Katsuya Hollywood and the night worked out pretty well…Hugo and I took two Waitresses to Go….

Next Saturday, November 10th, "Sugar" Shane Mosley (44-4, 37 kos) and Miguel "Junito" Cotto (30-0, 25 kos) will face off at Madison Square Garden in a fight that has the potential for Fight of the Year honors. It is a classic fight between the boxer and the puncher, speed vs power, hand speed vs body punching, and a rising star vs a rare legitimate crossover star.
Shane Mosley has been one of the most visible boxing stars in the last 15 years. Two wins over Oscar De La Hoya have cememted his reputation as a superstar. After those two wins he was considered to be one of the best pound for pound fighters in the world. But after losing twice to Vernon "The Viper" Forrest and losing twice to Ronald "Winky" Wright, Sugar didn't look too sweet. He has made a nice comeback by twice beating "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas after most experts in boxing had begun to write him off.
Miguel Cotto is a rising star in boxing on the real. The Caguas, Puerto Rico native is undefeated but his chin has been questionable in some fights. His body punching, however, is some of the most devestating since the days of Julio Ceasar Chavez. His last win, a brutalization of Zab "Super" Judah was very impressive. Cotto has always been able to solve any problems thrown his way.
It is easy to think that Shane will stay out of danger and speed his way to victory. But at 36 years old Shane has been slowing down a little. Still, he will have a big speed advantage over Cotto. Cotto is going to need to do much the same thing he did to Zab Judah- rough him up and throw wrecking ball like punches to the body. Mosley seems to be a better fighter than Judah. But I think Cotto's hunger and determination will get him a late round win. After all, it would be better for boxing if Cotto can win, as boxing will have another true star. Huge fight with a lot at stake. Also, since the fight will be in Madison Square Garden, expect Cotto to have a huge crowd of Puerto Ricans cheering him on. Either way Mosley VS Cotto shapes up to be a great fight.

Joe Calzaghe defeats Mikkel Kessler in a unanimous 12 round decision in Wales. Calzaghe used his superior hand speed and will to win to beat the technically sound and hard punching Kessler in a very good boxing match. The scores read 117-111, 116-112, 116-112 for Calzaghe. Calzaghe now is the Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion of the World.
The fight started out very close with good action. Kessler caught Calzaghe with some solid uppercuts, but Calzaghe showed a solid chin. Calzaghe's determination and will took over in the middle rounds. Kessler deserves mad props as he continued to throw heat throughout the fight, but was unable to crack Calzaghe's much underated defense in front of 50,000 plus in attendance at Millennium Stadium.
What's next for The The Italian Dragon? Probably a showdown with Bernard Hopkins. That would be a very interesting row. Kelly Pavlik or Jermain Taylor also loom as big money action packed punch ups.
Defeating the Nightclub DJ (or the Club Owner, bouncer, bartender guy, etc.)
Defeating the Nightclub DJ (or the Club Owner, bouncer, bartender guy, etc.)
In the life of a G (or commonly referred to as “The Life”), you will run into competition constantly. This competition will come in the form of business mogul guy, Sport Star guy, Musician guy, phony player guy, mortgage broker guy (actually, they might be extinct), investment banker guy, hedge fund guy, regular guy and of course, other G’s and International Playboys. You will also run into “nightlife workers”, that can at times, give you fits.
The nightclub DJ, the Club Owner, nightclub managers, bouncers and even the occasional bartender guy are characters that are typically, all up in The Game and don’t deserve to be a player. Personally, I have a problem with these guys because if they can play their cards right, they can swoop a lot of fly girls with minimal effort. Fly girls come to their place of work every night. How easy is that? This is in sharp contrast to your humble author, who has to use his wits, charm, skills, dope word play, style, technique and innovative maneuvers to get Fly Girls. In short, I have to use Game. It’s not like I can give my number to some fly teller girl on a Heist, right? (Although, I was tempted once.)
The Nightclub Worker gets a lot of fly girls by doing jackshit. Girls today, are so misinformed, that they actually think these guys are “so cool”. And truth be told, not many of these guys have true Game. Witness the “so cool” Club Owner guy when his Nightclub goes out of biz (and it will). The “so cool” Club Owner guy now couldn’t get a girl if his life depended on it. His “game” goes out the window with his Nightclub.
Personal jealousy’s aside, I do have many friends in the nightclub world. I have many friends that are dope DJ’s, hell, my little brother Nicholas Alfonso Mason, AKA The Jaguar, is a prototype up and coming DJ/International Playboy/G. And I am friends with many Club Owners. But the vast majority of nightlife workers are backstabbers. Meaning that, when you are not looking, or not on your Game, they will try to swoop on any fly girl you are swooping on. Thankfully, they are wasting their breath on girls I roll with, because my Game is so strong. But still, it is an issue of etiquette and respect for me.
The OJAY's Back Stabbers
So, Kick back, light up a smoke, pour a Goose and Soda, and let me tell you a little story about how to defeat these guys and break down their whole structure, Oh my Brothers:
There is this very well known Club DJ that we will call “DJ Super Magnetic” (not his real name, but you do know who this guy is, he is pretty famous) who really fancied himself as some kind of pseudo-playboy. And DJ Super Magnetic is much better than your average, he does have some KO’s of some high-profile actress girls on his record. He is a top notch DJ, and spins dope cuts (although his scratching skills are way below par in my opinion), so I would always say “what up” to him and give him a pound when I entered the spot and often introduced the girl I was with to him. I noticed out of the corner of my eye on a couple of occasions that he would try to get the phone number of the girl I was with. Sneaky bastard. Putting holes in his manners. So I figured I would set a little trap for our little friend DJ Super Magnetic.
Let me take a step back:
I had recently swooped a very fly girl named “Dana” out from under a Trust Fund Playboy (TFP is what we call them in the industry) I knew named “Chris”. I had originally met Dana when I was cutting up Celler de Can Roca and El Bulli in Spain. Dana was a sometimes model/ Nightlife Princess with some decent pedigree and healthy poitrine. Her Mom was a relatively famous Model and her dad was a well known photographer. Dana, however, was as crazy as she was fly. Which means she was mad crazy because she was crazy fly.
One day, I was chilling with my friend Nikolai, AKA The Cobra, at the beach with a bunch of associates. Chris pulls up in his brand new Jaguar. At this point, I thought that the whole “swooping Dana from Chris thing” was top secret so I didn’t think he would make a move on me. See, Chris is from, I think, Brentwood or Beverly Hills or something. And I was born in a City post-MLK Jr. Riots in a Blue Magic Heroin chokehold only soon to become a Crack War Cauldron, so it wasn’t like we were in the same “weightclass” anyway. Rayful Edmond III was running the other side of the City. I was also a key player in the days of The Ecstasy Wonder Gangs, in case you didn’t know. Plus, I was with Nikolai, who has connections up the kazoo with the Eastern Block outfits, so I knew Chris wouldn’t make a move. Chris might be a Trust Fund Jerkoff, but he is no dummy.
I then noticed, that Chris’ Jaguar has been “keyed” up and down the side (and I don’t mean “keybumps” either). Keyed real bad. Chris points to his Jaguar, pats me on the back, says “Dana did this, G” and winks at me. I was going to get pissed off a Chris for touching my linen, but I had to give it up to him for his show of class. He knew The Game, he knew his girl just chose me.
At this point, I knew I had to offload “Dangerous Dana” as quickly as possible. Quicker than sitting on hot keys in a Ramada. Understand, that my Cadillac with Candy paint looked fresh without any scratches. So I got an idea.

I called Dangerous Dana and told her I would take her out to the Nightclub where DJ Magnetic spun. She was of course, smitten (who could blame her?). We then rolled into the spot (I don’t have to tell you I skipped the line, do I?) and we got a couple of drinks. Goose, soda, lime for me, something retarded for her.
I was in an ice pick sharp, black two button Paul Smith with side vents, Lilac Prada shirt, Duncan Quinn pocket square, Chrome Desert Eagle and Prada shoes, understated yet illmatic. My pockets on creatine and green like a bunch of fresh basil. Dana was in a red Roberto Cavalli V-Neck dress, Christian Louboutin Satin d’Oray sandals, I think, and holding a Birkin Bag, looking like some kind of slightly less ill Hillary Rhoda. She looked incredibly fly, flawless even, but truth be told, I probably looked doper than her.
Anyway, I then introduced her to DJ Super Magnetic. I saw DJ Super Magnetic was up to his old tricks, trying to swoop Dana, and who could really blame him? Dana was extremely easy on the eyes and probably the flyest girl in the spot. I left her by the DJ booth and Number Crunched for a little bit. Pretty successful Number Crunching session I must say, but that is neither Ruger nor Luger.
When I came back to where Magnetic and Dana were, I said to her “I have an emergency and need to go. Why don’t you just stay?” She said, “Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you?” not very enthusiastically. I said, “No, have fun, let’s talk later.” As I was leaving, I looked back to see Dana in the DJ booth dancing with Magnetic (and she could dance, especially for a white girl). The trap was set, and I am not even from the ATL, either.
It actually took longer than I thought for the trap to spring on DJ Magnetic. But when it did, it was better than I had envisioned. See, DJ Magnetic and Dana started dating. She was up in the booth with him kissing and dancing every night, you know, typical DJ game (or so I heard, I stopped going to that spot, it was getting wacker by the night).
Then two months later, their relationship crumbled. Dana got sick of DJ Magnetic’s faux-playboy ways. And, truthfully, his game was pretty weak. This time, Dana really out did herflyself. She torched DJ Magnetic’s mint condition drop top 1961 Lincoln Continental with Suicide doors. Checkmate and toe tagged. Michael Mason -1, DJ Super Magnetic -0.
