Story Time with Zee 02/20/09

There was a tie on the poll for the topic of this story time between "Stalking Shakira in the Dominican" and "A dumbass named January." This story time will be about stalking Shakira and I will do another one later about the dumbass named January.

Stalking Shakira in the Dominican Republic
-------------------------------------------

The year was 2007, it was less than a year after Shakira had won her second ‘’Grammy Award’’ in the category of ‘’Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album’’ (‘’Fijación Oral Vol. 1’’). Honestly the only knowledge that I had about Shakira was that I liked to watch her dance. I took a week long vacation because I needed a vacation, I chose the Dominican Republic because I knew a beautiful woman, Audrey, there that was willing to show me around. Audrey was a legal US resident in Grand Rapids, my home town, but she lived primarily in the Dominican Republic where she was in medical school. Really the only time that I stayed in my hotel was when I was sleeping and the majority of the time I was out and about with locals. One of the days I took a day trip from San Pedro (the town I stayed in) down the coast with Audrey and another girl. I don't remember what the name of the place we went to was but we saw where Sammy Sosa was married and some extremely old architecture (pictures in the video below.) The marjority of areas we saw on our drive there would be considered slums by American standards but once I saw huge houses in a gated community. I asked the girls about it and they said that famous people like Sammy Sosa and Shakira have houses there. I said I wanted to drive through but they said its impossible due to the gates and armed guards but they wish they could see in there as well. In an attempt to impress the girls on the way back I convinced them to try to get in. We drove up to the gaurd, he spoke, Audrey translated, "He wants to know why we are here." I told her to tell him we were visiting a friend... tell him we are visiting Andrew Jackson and I pulled a twenty dollar bill out of my pocket. Keep in mind that twenty dollars is a lot of money there. He basically told us to fuck off. So we started to drive around the gated community to see what we could see from the outside when we came to a side gate with another gaurd. This gaurd was more then happy to let us in to visit our friend Andrew Jackson. We drove around and looked at the mansions without seeing anyone famous so we parked at the central part of the gated community where there were shops and where all of the boats were docked. We walked through all the shops without seeing Shakira and even went into a few of the resturants none of which I wanted to pay the high prices to eat at. I didn't want to take pictures with my disposable camera when I was there because I was sure that would make me stand out and result in us being kicked out. Audrey found what she was sure was Shakira's boat. I have no idea why she thought it was Shakira's boat but I took a picture of her with it. In the YouTube video below you can see the picture about 38 seconds into the video.

  1. Note: I thought this was the most boring of the four options included in the poll. Three didn't seem adaquate and it was the best I could come up with at the time for a fourth.
