Thank God I'm a Country Boy
So I admit I am boring sometimes and don't always want to just let loose and go all out all the time. But I think I am also a good sport and willing to try new things when the oppurtunities arise.
So last night I got invited to this sorority mystery date thing. I honestly think we are too old for this stuff and I actually felt a little ridiculous being a part of the whole process of mystery dating and surprise. I just don't think there's too much spontaneity in having your friend ask the guy you like to go to a dance with you because you dont' have the guts to do it yourself. But whatever, I didn't have anything else to do last night and I thought it might be fun.
Anyways, we went to this place called Midnight Rodeo which is some sort of franchised country western dance club that has locations in every major city all over texas. Now, we get to this place and it is literally in the middle of nowhere. It's just this giant red barn in a field with a giant flashy neon light that is scrolling "MIDNIGHT RODEO!!" And the parking lot is completely filled with giant pick up trucks and blazers. This place was everything I thought it would be....and more. So we get up to the entrance and there is this ridiculously long ass line of cowboys and cowgirls. At this point I feel like such a shmuck and am just glad that I was able to find Taal a date so he could be there with me. So we are able to go to the front of the line because the sorority girls have some sort of vip list or something. Now when we get up there, I can tell that everyone is getting a little rowled up about us cutting them. In fact, as we got to the door to show our ID, all the cowboys at the front started yelling at me, "Get to the back partner!" I was sure I was gonna end up getting into some kind of bar fight that night. Like I just imagined some guy picking me up by my shirt and sliding me across the bar through all the bottles and everything.
So we finally get in and every guy there has got to be like 6'5, 280 pounds. And it turns out that flannel and plaid are in fact still in fashion. SO it was like $1.50 pitcher night except hese pitchers were a little bit smaller than normal ones. But basically all the guys are standing around holding pitchers and drinking striaght from them. But my god the women were beautiful. I'd say 60% to 70% of this club was just filled with beautiful women. More than your normal average at any average downtown bar.
So I'm out on the dance floor learnign the two step while the live band plays a bunch of ridiculous songs that sound like some other country western song I've never really listened to but have somehow heard before. And I'm just thinkin, "ehh, what the hell is goin on here." All of a sudden, the song ends and we're clapping and the cowboys in the back are yehawwing when the band begins playing this familiar beat and the singer is all, "YEah Yeah Yeah." That's right, its usher and lil jon. They aren't actually there but i'm saying it's the "yeah" song. Now I am the last person you would find in a club getting excited abotu one onf the most overplayed songs in the history of radio. I'm also the last person you would find in a dance club in general. But hearing this country western band playing it in the center of hicksville Texas, I have to say I got a little warm and tingly inside. So they start playing all this rap music. This fucking country western band. They played shake it like a salt shaker, and petey pablo, r kelly and cassidy (that hotel song), and even brittany spear's toxic. I must say, it was....awesome. Cuz everythign they were playing had like a little country twist to it, but it was really good. And then it was funny cuz there were all these cowfolks hangin out but when that music came on, i don't know where they came from, but like all these black guys and hispanics came out, even white guys who thought they were black. After spending half the night with this one type crowd, the diversity kind of gave me a little bit of excitement of culture shock. But I liked it. So like all these B boyz are on the dance floor now and they started this big breakdancing circle and they were all breakdancing. And then these big booty mommas came out of nowhere and they were like dancing and bouncing their asses and it was awesome. Until the country started up again and all these cool diverse people disappeared. I don't know if they crawled back under the barn or just hid in the bathroom until their next chance to party, but they literally just disappeared amongst the plethora of cowboy hats and belt buckles.
But I ended up having a pretty good time. And while the event itself was nothing great, it was the fact that I was out of my element that made the night all worth it.
