So that other weekend was the
Durban July handicap thingy that everybody was bitching about (me don’t care about the event anyway).My glamorous friend from
Jozi wanted us to go but I was not hearing anything about it.
I told her I am so not into horses and don’t even know a single horse that’s running. She tried to explain in so many words and ways that the event for her and a hell lodda people is
not really about the horses but about the outfit and the event, the glamour, the people and the after party. Still not convinced and still not going. She managed to get us
VIP tickets to the events but guess what: I was still not going. She gave up on me and made arrangements with a certain friend of ours who moved to Durbs(its less than 5 months and she’s already planning to move back to Pitori)
And so they had fun, come Monday morning I wanted to hear all about the gossip,wa ntshwara(
the RGB kinda stories),called my friend only to find her cell off. I got pissed and agitated by the white lady who told me to leave a message, where does she get off telling me what to do! On Tuesday my almost ex best friend decided to call me and tell me she got home safe. (Don really wanna know about that, now the gossip)She tells me she just got off the phone with her boyfriend from
Pitori an an an an
STOP! Rewind…the last time I checked she had no boyfriend from
Pitori,she so hated guys from Pitori because of their obsession with labels, and nou!!!!Ok they met ko dipereng and they never stopped since, she’s in love (so she tells me), she goes on an on about the labels her guy was wearing,
KG (
Kurt Geiger kick and boboza bootes nogal ) After a two hour call, we hang up and our conversation left me thinking about my hood
Pitori, about how unique and refreshing our people are, about how different we are from peeps from other places. Our conversation inspired me to start writing again
