Also, I went to see him at Caroline's and he remembered me from the subway!! LMAO! I told you I was not lying! However, I want to emphasize something. Though you may see pictures with me with a few celebrities, I am not an agent but a regular joe. Living in New York you do have these opportunities to see a lot of famous people but honestly I don't pay some of these famous people much attention unless it is someone like Mooney who is a legend who I have to at least give a head nod too. Celebrities are people like us (body odor, issues, worries, etc. They are HUMAN). That is why I honestly make an effort not to get caught in the gossip which is so easy. I don't know them but I respect their art. I respect that and I give them their space. However, I must admit that if I ever *see Prince* that I think I have to give him a fist bump and then BEG for a picture. I love my Princey POO POO
. ROFLMAO! Check out his site: LotusFlow3r (By the way, do you know Prince totally dissed my friend's son when he saw him and asked him for an autograph. He gave the kid the hand and said, "I don't give autographs." Wow. He even stuck out his hand in a stop fashion to this 10 year old kid. If I were with them, I am not to sure how I would have reacted. I may have asked for a picture instead. And, if he said no then I would have probably asked him some other questions. I may not be the fan that I am now if he personally did that to me. I'm not to sure. I think I would be pretty confused!)

Ahh...
I mean AHHHHHHH
Did I say, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Paul Mooney is my comedic icon. If I could be like anyone in this world, I want to be like him but I am female so a female version of him. His quick wit, no nonsense, in your face, comedic genius remarks and analysis of life are how I try to lead my life.
Let me tell you what happened. I was on my way to an affair in the West Village here in New York City and of course I take the trusty subway to my destination. I get on the 1 train headed downtown to 59th street and WHO is on the car I step into?? PAUL MOONEY. At first I looked at him wondering who was this a homeless man? I know my eyebrows did a double take when I realized it was him. I think he saw me look twice at him in disbelief that I was standing in front of a comedic God. My eyes were basically saying, "Oh shaat, this is Paul Mooney who worked with Dave Chappelle, Richard Pryor, and God who knows who else!!" I swear that was my first reaction. I know that fool was eyeing me because I had on a skirt but my coat was long but I saw him try to get a peak at my legs! ROFLMAO. You dirty man! (maybe I was imagining things. I dunno. But I know he was looking!) Anyway, I said to him, I have to tell you but you are my idol. He smiled at me. Then, he said to me he was headed to work. I said where are you working? He said, "Caroline's." I said WHAT? I let him know I had seen an ad for Caroline's online and I did not see his picture or his name on it. He said those crazy.....(Imagine what he may have said and no he did not say it but just mumbled).
Despite that, I took one of his jokes and twisted it and said to him, "by the way, guess what?" I have a job. And, he said why? I said because my hair is relaxed. ROFLMAO. Watch this video.

This is where I got the joke from. The funniest thing EVA. He cracked up at me. He said my joke was funny. I said of course it was funny. It's the truth! I know that for a fact. He even said that I was smart. I almost choked. Paul Mooney called me smart?! Damn. I can die tomorrow and join Wandra in eternal bliss. Seriously, for Paul Mooney to call me smart is the biggest compliment ever.
I am seeing him at Carolines. I have to for he is the FUNNIEST man alive in my book. I can't believe I made him laugh. Wow. How dope is that?
I'm just processing that he said, "you are a smart woman." Lord...
If I don't wake up tomorrow, I love all of you. xoxo
