Culture Shock

Just a random thought for the day, cuz that's how I get down. Let me set up a scenario for you, see if my point gets across...

This is for the ladies...

You're in the club, lookin' fly. You're with your girls, havin' fun, buyin' your own drinks. You're just there to have a good time. You glance across the room and you see this FINE chocolate brother tryin' to catch your eye. You give him the contact, smile and look away, sipping your drink. Some time passes, and you can feel his eyes still on you. So you decide "what the hell," and make your way over to him. Walking up to him, you take him in. Broad shoulders, nice eyes, sexy lips, nice smile, you're thinking to yourself, "damn, this may be all right!"

So, you finally reach the object of your lust, extend your hand and introduce yourself. He smiles and answers, "Oi was wundrin' when ya'd ge' ova he'!"

You're thrown, shocked, feel betrayed even. To mask your shock at his accent, you smile and nod, continuing in polite conversation, but your image of him has COMPLETELY changed, and you just want to get it over with and get back to your girls.

Ladies, this is nothing new. It's actually an epidemic that's sweeping the nation. But my question here is, does a man's accent add or take away from the sexiness factor?

I was talking to Wendy last night and she was talking about her summer loves. Now Wendy is always with someone in the summer, it's her high season. One thing about the guys she dates, though, they all have accents. I asked her why that was and she said she never plans for it to happen that way, it usually unfolds like the scenario above.

So I was laughing at her, talking about accents. Like, the English accent. From a white guy, it's charming and endearing and even adds to the sex appeal. But a black Englishman, just doesn't do it for me. I don't know what it is. Two examples, Craig David and Idris Elba (Two talented and fine black men, but when they speak, you're caught off guard. Wendy always ends up with a Jamaican or African, she's a magnet for them. I just found it interesting and decided to share it.

Well, I'm off, goin' to get my hair done, go to a basketball game and just enjoy the weekend.

I fixed the blog, anyone can comment now, for some reason it was set to have only members comment. Have fun!! :-D

Oh, little trivia question: What is the exact midway point between Atlanta and Pennsylvania? I'm lookin' for a little coffee shop. ;-D
