I think some of you might get a kick out of hearing some of my stories and I'm bored so what the hell?
I've encountered quite a few celebrities or semi-celebrities in my short life and some of them have pretty funny stories attached to them. I don't know if I'm just at the right place at the right time or I just have a knack for noticing these people in public. Celebrities in public is fascinating to me for some reason. Maybe it's just because it's weird seeing some one like that in public doing regular people things? I don't know...
I'm definitely no ?uestlove but here goes nothing...
First one that comes to mind might be the funniest one.
This guy:
Hector "Macho" Camacho.
For those who don't know him, he was or still is (not sure) a boxer. Was actually very good for a long time but decided to prolong his career way too much. He was known for having ridiculous entrances and for partying hard, just a crazy guy. I'm talking dressing up like a Roman soldier, being carried into the ring, just over the top stuff.
Well, one day I was at a club in Downtown Miami called Bongos. It's really a restaurant that's owned by Gloria Estefan and her husband and is attached to the American Airlines Arena. It just turns into a club at night. I would go there from time to time because a good friend of mine was dating Gloria Estefan's niece at the time. It really wasn't my type of club but I would get in free and get hooked up with free drinks every once in a while.
Back to the story though... I was with a few buddies of mine and I had been drinking free mojitos all night so I was feeling good. We were on the dance floor just chillin when my friend (the guy who had the connections at the club) just introduces me to Macho Camacho. This was completely out of nowhere, I had not seen him the whole time there. Needless to say I was sort of shocked. As a kid I watched a lot of boxing and had seen him fight a lot of times so I thought it was real cool. He is ridiculously short too by the way. That kind of caught me off guard.
We do the whole greeting thing. You know, "I'm Danny, nice to meet you.", bla bla bla. I expect him to go back to do what he's doing. Why would Macho freaking Camacho want to keep talking to me? Was I wrong. This guy stands right in front of me and just starts breaking it down. By breaking it down I mean to say dancing like a mad man. At first I was like is this guy trying to dance with me? Is he gay? Is this mother ****er hitting on me? I didn't know what to think but I was scared to do anything cuz he'd probably ****ing kill me. Then all of a sudden he just stops and looks at me and says "Twenty one?"
I reply with, "What?"
"TWENTY ONE!?" he screams back
"Huh?"
"You, you are twenty one years ol' right!?"
"Um, yeah sure." I answer reluctantly because I was actually 19 at the time.
Then this dude turns to my friend and yells "TWENTY THREEEEE!?"
My friend agrees and Macho gives us both high fives and keeps dancing. At this point I knew he was on ex or coked out of his mind or both. He had to be on something though because it was just so bizarre. A few minutes later he stopped dancing and he comes up to me again and tells me he wants to hook me up with a girl. He says, "You see that girl over there? That's some good puzzy meng". At this point I didn't know what else to do but laugh. I gave him another high five and walked away.
