Hey blog,
it’s mondaaaaay and weird shit’s been happening this weekend, so buckle up and
get ready.
So today I’m
going to tell you guys all about this crazy friend I have, who seem to think he
is a Duke or something. We went to his house this saturday, and he showed me a
freakin’ big ass painting of his socalled ‘Duchess’ – what a freak, right? So
okay, this painting was creapin’ me out. That woman was seriously staring at me
with her big popping eyes – I swear, she looked like she could jump out of that
painting at any time! Anyway, he tells me some guy named Pandolf painted it and
that he is a very skilled and known artist with “great sense of detail” and I’m
like… Who the heck is Pandolf??
And then he
seriously says: “Sit on this chair and watch her closely” and I am LITERALLY
freaking out!! Like, did you kill her and now I’m next?? That was so creepy I
just can’t comprehend… Oh, and btw, he had a red velvet curtain hanging over
that bitch… I am not kidding, you guys…
So then he
starts talking about this guy Pandolf again, like I even give a shit… Saying
stuff like “depth and passion” and I’m just sitting there, thinking how ugly
that woman really is. If that guy Pandolf really is soooo talented, howcome he
didn’t paint her with the newest Jimmy Choos? I mean, seriously, have a sense
of fashion before you call yourself and artist… Then Dukie says: “You’re not
the first to ask” and I’m like: duuuude, ain’t nobody asked you a god damn
thing??!! Jeeez. I don’t even know why I call him my friend, he really gives me
the creeps.
But he
keeps yapping about his fat girlfriend on the wall, talking about the color of
her cheeks like we’re in some baaad Jane Austen movie, calling me “Sir” and all
that shit, implyin’ that I dig her. Duuuuuude, do you not know I like dick?! He
goes on and says that Gandalf, or whoever, told that girl to lift up her skirt,
what a dirtbag!! He ain’t wanna paint that girl, he wanna have some of that
girl!! But Dukie seems to think that his girl was just tryin’ to be “polite”…
POLITE?? Bro!! Yo lady is about to get down with Mr. Painter, is you blind??!
Omg, that was some serious three-way drama, I’m telling ya… I’ve seen those
girls before, hoeing up for the weekend and getting down with aaaall dudes out
there.
But you
know, he did kinda admit that she likes everything. I mean, he said that he “gave
her a dress” one day, Chanel I think, and another day he “gave her a cherry
milkshake” and she reacted the same damn way… Wtf?? Girl, Chanel is my
religion, don’t ya even act as if that is as good as a non-fat free milkshake,
you damn fool! Although he did say, that sometimes she doesn’t react at all,
she just stands there and blushes… It’s so damn pathetic I think I’m gonna puke…
Anyway, he says that one day some other dude came with a cherry milkshake for
her, stickin’ his nose in where it don’t belong and I told him: don’t let no
man steal yo girl bro, you tell him! Set him straight… But then he said “It’s
okay, it’s nothing, she said thank you” and I am telling you guys, I was about
to go damn crazy… She said ‘THANK YOU’??!!! Damn bro, don’t ever let her play
you that way… This is seriously the most f’ed up relationship I have ever heard
about… And I’m freaking gay…
The next
part is so freaky, you won’t believe it… He starts saying that “I gave her a
nine-hundred-year-old name” and that she oughtta think about the prestigious
family she married into and a whoooole bunch of other nasty stuff, I won’t even
let you in on it all, I care about you guys too much… That DOUCHEBAG thinks he
is more worth than that woman??! That is SOOO typical men!!! What about the
woman’s worth??? Sure, she is kinda dumb, but that ain’t her fault… Damn I knew
he would say something like that…. Jerk!! And omfg!! Then he said “Don’t want to
argue with women, do we?” and I’m like: boooooy I’m gonna bitch slap you any
time soon, you nasty pig!! I ain’t on your side, bro!!
I told him
he should talk with his woman, that’s the way to solve problems. But he was all
“I don’t know what to say” which is sooo cliché… But he’s been yapping all this
time, I think he’s full of it – off course he knows what to say! But then he
said that she always smiles at him, just nothing special, because she smiles at
all men out there… They both got some issues…
When I
asked him where his wifey went, he didn’t say anything other than “The smiles
stopped” and asked me to stand up again. Seriously, I have never been closer to
shittin’ my pants. He asked me to go downstairs to the others, and I’m like:
the OTHERS?! You havin’ a party downstairs bro?? This is the point where I’m
seriously thinking about running, but I gotta check this freak out some more.
As we’re
about to go downstairs, he starts talking about my boss’ daughter, like some
freak who just want to lay his hand on all girls out there, and I’m thinking,
is this the reason I’m even here? So I can be his wingman??! Omg… That’s when I
know the freakshow is over!! I’m trying to come up with a reason to leave, but
he insists on keeping me there and keeps asking if I won’t join him and the
others… Again, who the fuck are those other people?? Before we leave his creepy
‘gallery’, he starts pointing at a bronze statue of… wait for it… NEPTUNE! That’s
when I knew I had to fake an emergency and get the hell outta there, and I did,
thank goodness, I got away!
That’s it
you guys. My freaky ‘friend’ who I fyi ain’t seeing nomore!
Peace out,
hope y’all had a better weekend than me!
XOXO

Lovely job of staying perfectly consistent within your chosen voice throughout. Also a perfect job of getting absolutely every aspect of the original poem represented in some way or other. And of course hilarious to read about 'Dukie' and 'Gandalf' and the fat, ugly Duchess in the portrait!
ReplyDeleteOh Christ, I can just hear this obnoxious blogger or youtuber talking about their day, like Fie Laursen or Tana Mongeau. How they are telling, maybe a dull story, but they over exaggerate it. Really creative idea, and well executed.
ReplyDelete"Bad Jane Austen movie", "Dukie" "Pandolf, Gandalf(??)" - hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI love the voice in this text.
It kind of reminds me of the analysis from the YouTube video "The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe – Thug Notes Summary & Analysis", which also presents a much more fun and interesting way of retelling/interpretating the poem.
That was also my inspiration!
DeleteGeez, it's like i can imagine this black gay blogger actually having his own blog.
ReplyDeleteYou stayed in character all the way through and included everything essential from the poem, basically everything from the poem. There is no doubt that this was a fun thing for you to write, a had a bunch of chuckles throughout. Loved it!
Haha, great idea with the blogger. I love this caricature of a oh-reality-TV-and-the-Kardashians-is-the-best-thing-in-the-world-and-I'm-kinda-dumb-you-know feminine gay blogger who goes totally nuts after his meeting with Dukie. That voice was in my head all the time! It was a brilliant way to retell the poem!
