Fantastic Four: The Fall of Jango

It all starts out on a Saturday night at Jango’s house. The pre game drinking involves Absolut Vodka and orange juice. A Great way to start the night without having to hurt your wallet at the bar trying to get a buzz. We decided to hit Nevada Smith's on 3 Ave & 14th St. There was Jango Fett, R2-D2(aka Artoo), Chewbacca (aka Chewy) and the Han Solo (aka Da Hero) on this mission to meet women. Of course I am driving as always since my boyz tend to get wasted beyond the point of no return. Recently Jango broken up with his girlfriend whom he has been dating for many years. It has been a week since he decided that they should go their separate ways. She called him that night to meet up with her and her friend at Nevada Smith's. The plan was to hook up R2-D2 with her friend who was her sorority sister. The only problem with this plan is that Jango and his girlfriend are not together anymore. It has only been a few days since they broke up and they are gonna need time to grow without each other. This can only lead to problems when alcohol is involved. I have nothing against his ex. I like her as a person and thought she was a very nice girlfriend for my boy. But Jango has his heart somewhere else. He wants to meet other woman and be free from his ex. He knows it’s not right to keep leading this girl on cause in reality he likes her as a friend and doesn’t want to hurt her. Jango doesn’t just see her as a piece of meat that he could have a "friends with benefits" relationship with. If he can keep this relationship as friends and not lead this girl on when he’s drunk than this plan might work after all. What happens! He gets drunk and they are making out by the nights end. R2-D2 is making good progress and looks like he will be leaving early with her sorority sister. Artoo is short on money since we have been drinking all night and city life is expensive. But we all rally together and give him whatever cash we can spare. What is a few bucks for a friend in need. (Now Im broke in the city and all I have left are my credit cards) They leave! Everyone thought R2-D2 and this girl would be great together since they have many things in common. For instance, they went to the same college, have similar backgrounds, match up well in height and most likely share the same values. This leaves Chewy and his wingman Han Solo to navigate around the bar and pick up single women. So Chewy and da hero are trying their best to dance and hook up with the women whom seem to be having a good time on the dance floor. We snag a group (6 to 7 girls of all sort of sizes) to dance with. With this many girls in the group we figure at least two of them would be interested in us since the numbers are in our favor. The thing is they came in for only 30 mins to pre game for the club. The problem now is that we are both short on cash and are not dress for the club. Da hero has jeans on and chewy is wearing shorts. They seemed sorry to leave us but they are having a girl’s night out and want to the hit club already. This is where the turning point of the night for us. We hit the peak of the night and the crowd started to die down and the prospects started fading away. We figured at least R2-D2 has prospered from this night. Jango is drunk but at least he has someone to hold and share an intimate time with. Unfortunately we see Artoo walking in and start talking about how lame she was. I knew that from the beginning because she didn’t want to drink with us once we got there, and was kinda quiet throughout the night. But that is because Chewy and I tried to distance ourselves from her so that R2-D2 would get a better chance of knowing her. They seem to be a good match. Honestly she looked like a girl that would want a serious relationship right away and would require high maintenance to keep. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but I recently came off a very serious and long relationship. I would prefer not to start another long and serious relationship for at least a few months. Artoo was kinda down that he couldn’t close the deal but I reinsured him that everyone strikes out from time to time. It is what you do after that builds character. So at the end of the night, I drove everyone home. When we got to Jango’s home he was sober enough to realize that it would be best if his ex would go home instead of spending the night. To avoid the outward mourning they would have the next day. This made his ex sad and maybe she thought things was gonna get better or that there was still a possibility for them to reunite. So I drove her home and the rest of the gang too. Everyone had a good time but I guess everyone wanted it to end differently in their own way. No one really got the girl or guy they wanted. In retrospect, Dont hang out with your ex girlfriend or boyfriend unless your both finally over each other. It's not fair for the person who might still have strong feelings for the other individual. You wouldn't want to feel that way or go thru this experience. On the bright side, Lucky I didn’t get stop by the police or fall asleep on the road. Usually takes me about 25 mins to get back to my place after dropping my boyz off in Queens. Da hero has never been stop by police or got any accidents (knock on wood) while driving home. Trust me, I have had my shares of adventurous rides home but this time I didn’t get sloppy drunk. Just wanted to get home and lay down on my own bed.
