Sentimental Foodie

As a Gen Xer, can some one please explain what has changed. In my time, as ohns we did this all the time whenever we saw chics we liked. Let me tell you one of the stories. Me and my late friend (MHSRIP) were in Kitwe to buy some emeralds and we booked 2 rooms at Hotel Edinburgh on the 4th or 5th floor..I can't remember. This was in 1992 or 93. After our transactions, me and my friend were hanging in my room having a few beers while looking across the road to the hotel pool. We saw these 2 "hot" chics swimming, so I rang room service and told them to go to the pool area and tell the chics they could have whatever they wanted and charge it to us. The waiter went down to the pool and told them what I said. When they asked who was paying, the waiter pointed towards us and we waved at them, After they finished swimming, they came up to the room to introduce themselve. It turned out, they were cousins from Lusaka visiting relatives in Kitwe. We asked them if they wanted to go out with us to Cinderella Nightclub (Cindy's) later in that evening. They agreed and said they wanted to go and dress up. We gave them cab fare and they did come back. For us, we took a shot and if they did not come back, it was all good. I was single then, and that's how Playaz played. What's different now? What do today's Playaz do?

What will be the source of my inebriation this Friday evening (F1). Asahi it is as it was on sale...this is where I'm at now. A good Friday evening for me is being at home knocking back some cold lagers or a good Shiraz. At some point, you outgrow clubbing and dinner balls and galas become your thing. I have always been an outgoing person and I made sure the boss understood this when we started dating. Back in the day, Friday was boys night out...as my good friend Chellah Katwishi used to say "Friday njikata". Saturday night was dedicated to our wives. We would all link up as a group and we would basically bar hop from 18hrs until we ended up at Zenon, Great Wall, Black Velvet, Zorba the Greek or Oasis. Sunday was always about linking up at Mike's Car wash, which was like a car show. If you wanted to see the best rides in Lusaka, you went to Mike's or Makeni Gardens.. Been there...done that. It takes a lot to get me excited. Even when I visit, I would rather have a drink at a bar in Kabwata or Chilenje than ku Chicago's and other such joints. Life's good..

As society we need to normalise knocking out these dumb cunts who think it funny to go round bothering people who are just going about their business.
