Too Through for a Title
Over the last few of weeks my one bad ankle started acting up & last week it got to the point that I could not take it anymore. I have been doing icy/hot, ice packs, elevation, witch hazel & anything else to stop swelling and pain.
So the day before my NYC trip I went to see my orthopedic Dr. to find out what was going on. To cut to the chase, the appointment was fucked up & I was up in there for almost 2 hours, got an xray & was told to take at Advil 3 times a day for 2 weeks (I hate pills). Before the appointment end I asked if my handicapped parking permit could be extended & the dr. hooked me up with a 4 month extension. 15 dollars later (co-pay) I was on my way to work.
All the way to work, I was like damn, now I have to go to the Secretary of State (DMV in some states). I hate going to the Sec’ o State because they are slow as hell & do not give a fuck about making people wait in their Purgatory.
Fast-forward 1 week later to today, I finally muster up the nerve to get this damn permit after work. Wait, before I move on, don’t trip on me because I have a handicapped parking permit cus, I really needed it. Walking is a problem most days for me because of the swelling & standing can be a real bitch more often than not.
OK, its Wednesday 528pm & I’m waling up to the Sec’ o State & I look up to see people standing all over the place & it was packed. Once up to the building & soon as I opened the door, I was hit smack in the face with once of the funkiest smells I have sniffed. Later I figured that the smell was of 2 week old crack head badussy (booty, dick & pussy) & it was to the point that I could almost taste it!
So I get my number from the number machine while trying not to throw up in my mouth & looked at it to see that I was number 80 fuckin’ 8. Then I looked up to see that they were only on number 20. 60 goddam 8 people were in front of my ass & the line was moving slower than one footed run-away slave following the north star. Luckily I was able to cop a seat because someone said fuck it and left but minutes later I did the same & decided to head down to the Korean (people in the know, don’t judge me) to get a guard for my shaving clippers. After my quick purchase, made a few phone calls & decided to head back into the funk box & luckily again, I was able to get a seat.
While sitting in disgust, I took a look around & I saw the most pathetic looking people ever (not all but many). There was some chick there in a club dress & hooker pumps, 2 people that looked very homeless & probably were the source of the funk, ubiquitous muffin tops (some muffins in the front, some in the back & some all the way round; it was nasty), an alleged local pimp (pulpit pimp to be honest) & some loud as hell talking ghetto couple (I’m not sure if they knew they were in public). So after taking all of this in, I was like, I gotta get the hell out of here before I burst into flames if I did not die from badussy asphyxiation 1st. Seconds after my thought, the line started to move rapidly all of the sudden. So I said fuck it & decided to stay.
After all was said & done, it took less that 2 hours for me to get taken care of & I had a baby migraine headache. Once I got in my car, I was shit, I felt like I needed a Stanback & Coke (if you are old school and from the south, I know you know what a Stanback is).
Since Stanbacks are hard to come by in these parts I decided to head to a local ice cream shop instead to decompress my self over a pineapple & cherry milk shake with whipped cream. As soon as I took my 1st sip, all was good.
Talk about a dramatic start to a nice summer evening.

Dang, I'm feeling sick just thinking about how bad it must have smelled up in there. One thing I will give it up to LA for is that they have their DMV shit together. I have never had to wait longer than ten minutes for anything at the DMV. However, back home in Chicago, the DMV was a death sentence. But, it worked to my advantage when I went to get a state ID with someone else's gas bill and birth certificate. The workers were so tired that I think they didn't really care that my signature was a little shaky.

I'm from SC and I know what you mean by a Stanback and Coke! When I get a bad headache I take a Goody Powder and a Mountain Dew.

I know youre a grown ass man, but I just wanted to give you a few tips/suggestions (cause you know Im crippled too).
Take your Advil with FOOD! Else youre risking stomach problems, and trust me, you dont want them.
I remember from an earlier post, you said you couldnt cook much cause you cant stand...have you tried sitting when doing prep work? Thats what I do when I have a dish that requires a lot of prep work. And I did that when I was decorating cakes too. Just an idea.

Damn, that's funny!!! I know about Stanbacks and I hate those damn powders because they damn dust always flies all over the place and gets into my nose. My parents swear by them and I think my grandma would peddle them like crack if they ever tried to go out of business.
Oh, and I was thinking LAST NIGHT about Asians in the Hood. I meant to even do a post on it because people who aren't in the know love to call all of them Chinese, so I meant to break it down. The Koreans will break you off with some of that Hawaiian Silky weave, the Vietnamese will hook up that French pedicure and the Chinese will be glad to sell you four wings with rice. LOLOLOLOL

Wait. Don't tell me. You were at the Sec'y of State over there on Livernois, right? Gotta be. That's why I go to the one in Ferndale, dawg. On 9-Mile. Couldn't take that shit anymore.
Stanback? Bet you get yours at the service stations too..?

I can't take it! I can't take it! I know how you feel.. I was at the DMV once and experienced the same scent of FUNK! I also noticed the club clothes - but some of the women wearing club clothes were bringing their children in for licenses. I was wondering if the kids were embarrassed!

LMAO!!!!!! I HATE going to the DMV!! I think our DMV opens at 6 or 7am and people are lined up outside (like it was a Beyonce concert or somethin) an hour before it opens.
I don't know what I would do if I couldn't renew my license online, probably ride the bus or try biking it...
There's always a funky person or persons in the DMV, they're homeless and crack head havens. Noone really monitors the place.
Glad the milkshake made it all better.

We have something similar here in Chicago (by way of Coldwater, Mississippi). It's called BC. it's a powder and tastes HORRIBLE...but, in about 5 minutes your headache is gone.
