Entertainment Tonight...yeah right

All these emails, texts, calls, and voicemails pretty say the same thing: "Aye yo E, I'm in town for break. What club we gone hit up?" I can't do it. I don't know if it's my hate of this town, my fatigue from this ridiculous semester, or what; but I can't deal with the club scene anymore. When I'm there, there is this void. It's like I lost a feeling I used to have. I try, but I just can't have fun and enjoy myself anymore. The women there aren't even my type. Honestly I don't ever think I've had a relationship worth mentioning that began while meeting a woman at the club. I'm not saying all women at the club are in the undesirable category of obsessive-compulsive club hoppin' bobblehead groupies. I'm sure it's some real nice, intelligent, and sweet ladies there, but I mean, how much can you actually get to know someone at the club number one? Second, cats like me don't have a chance at pullin' a real woman in the club because they either aren't present or will assume I'm like the other 100 or so thuggish ruggish lames who approached them first. Don't even let me bring up club safety. People have been getting popped left and right at clubs in St. Louis. I could go on a left-tangent on how black on black crime in St. Louis is to a certain extent creating black on black racism in the back of my mind. We not gone go there tonight. Back to what I was saying...fun is always interrupted in this crappy town. My friends respect my decision of avoiding the clubs here. I just don't have fun anymore. Next time I go to a club, I'll be out of town somewhere. I can do happy-hour; I can do the boat (casino); I can even do lots of other things like museums, sport events, plays, dinner parties, and live poetry/music (esp jazz), but most of my friends are so caught up in what everybody else is doing, which is "hittin' up the club"--ugh! Even that short phrase makes me nauseous. Is there anyone left in this town who knows real entertainment anymore??!!
