Car accidents. Sometimes, just because you're cute, the girl who hits your car throws herself at you. Which is what this girl did. My friend, Jamil, was driving my car while I was out of town and her mom's car hit mine while she was backing up. She later got in touch with the owner- moi.
Jennifer types labels and answers phones for a living. (What else can you do as a high school dropout?). For fun she gets drunk and goes clubbing on weekends. At 30+ years of age, she still lived with her mom in the shabby eastern nether regions of LA County and drove her Mercedes Benz, too! She knew English, some Tagalog and a little Spanish (e.g. "Hola, sexy!"). When I was dating 3-4 chicks at a time, she was into me the most (not the pretty Latina with her own business, or the lovely Russian interior designer). Can you see why? I'm way out of her league! My only friend Tim dropped by my apt while we were hanging out and took one good look at her and almost ran off- "Why her, dude? She's so not attractive!" (Yes, Tim is a witness.)
Why? she sucked good dick (the first time she came to my apt) and flattered me endlessly, that's why! LOL I closed my eyes so I didn't even have to see her face, especially those Grand Canyon-deep naso-labial folds and her Sharpie eyebrows. She invited me to her birthday party so she could show me off to her equally shabby friends and cousins. Once we spent the whole day at Universal Studios - really tacky but so what? she had free tickets and was all over me. We never had sparkling conversations - her usual reply was "Daaaaamn!" - but what were my options? One Monday I asked her how her weekend was; her reply: "I just kicked it with my dawgs.""
The other girls, the pretty ones with ambition and a college degree plus hobbies other than drinking, didn't want me after the first or second dates. Jennifer liked to wrestle with me, which was a nice workout since she was a lot chunkier than me. We practiced Spanish ("Hola, sexy!") and watched a Lakers game (I'm such a jock, you know). The best part of all was that she was gaga over my looks. I didn't even have to drive to see her- she drove to see me every time from the nether regions of Greater Los Angeles, bearing gifts from the 99 Cent Store, coffee from Food 4 Less, a cactus. One time I started playing a Buddha Lounge CD- she exclaimed "You have everything, Mehdi!" LOL When does a girl like that get a guy who looks like me? Lucky for her, I'll fuck anything, especially when the cute ones diss me. And lucky for me- she starts drinking early in the day and loves the ganja! :-) She was a cheap date, too- I never had to take her to a fancy restaurant. Buffalo wings were good enough for her.
After I finally had sex with her- one week after going to her birthday party and announcing that I didn't want to get serious (because her mom thought we were- must have been something Jennifer said) - I forgot about her for 3 months. When I found her number again, I called her and she came over that very night! These ugly girls will fly like a bullet train when a pretty boy beckons! :-) I made the moves on her, of course (what were we going to do- talk???) but she already had a serious boyfriend (then why did she come over???) so she left in a huff. That left me alone to practice with my pump-action porridge gun.
After all that, she still wanted to talk to me! (Her boyfriend/fiancé was in Iraq.) That makes her a good friend. A quality girl. So what if we had only superficial chats and emails between us and I didn't go out of my way to see her for another 6 months? (She drove to see me, of course.) I tried to initiate a discussion about Mad Cow Disease - that didn't go far (2 lines' worth of email). LOL That's the depth of a typical friendship (and conversation with the opposite sex) for me. And who says you don't have character just because you've spent a good portion of your life boozing and clubbing and then sucking strange dick after a few puffs of weed?
Wanna know something funny? Her last name, Baluyot, is very close to "balut," the delicacy of duck embryo eaten in the Philippines. I ate that while I was there. I guess I have a thing for ugly ducklings!
See how torn I am? I complain about girls who don't stimulate my mind but I take chicks like this and call them "quality girls" for as long as I can deceive myself! I look for multilingual, supereducated, witty, freaky Jennifer Connellys but for some reason only girls from the peasant underclass throw themselves at me.
(Sigh) I dumped Caro to be with girls like this???
I called her "hot" and a "quality girl" to piss off Marianna. But my family or Tim never heard much about her -that's how remarkable she was- and inevitably she faded away and moved on to greater heights with a ...ahem.. Marine. Not an officer, of course. A soldier. You know, the meat of the Iraq War machine, guys who enlisted because they couldn't find jobs??? Before that her boyfriend was a handyman. I'm in good company.
Why can't I meet girls that way again??? Why do I have to wash my balls and wear my nice sneakers for a date??? Mommy says I'm too special to do the chasing. You LA bitches better get with the program!

Back to the beginning.
Jennifer Baluyot. Mehdi Yssef likes to deny that homely, lowly philippinas go for him and he always takes them.
