Da Hook Up

I bought an Ipod today. It was purchased through DA HOOK UP. You see I had been casually eyeing a few Ipods for a while now. Well, today I was approached by a co-worker that happened to ask me if I knew anyone interested in buying a game boy or an Ipod. She had DA HOOK UP. She explained that she bought a $600 camcorder from this same "connection" for only $300. It works great. She also bought a couple of game boys from them for her children. She had been really pleased.

The whole situation was surreal to me. I told my co-worker that all she needed was a long trench coat or the trunk of her car open. "Pssst...yo...I got game boys...Ipods...camcorders. Tell me what'cha want and I can get it for ya'."

Now I have never bought from DA HOOK UP before. I didn't know all the rules. Luckily I am a fast learner. First of all, the less information you have the better. I mean you can ask about the quality of the product. But asking how, what, where the product came from...BIG NO-NO.

Secondly, cash is the expected form of payment. No questioning of checking funds or possible credit card mishaps. Plus the main advantage...no paper trail. I of course very rarely carry cash on me.

Third, no names are ever exchanged. And the more removed you are from the supplier, the better. I have no idea what is, where is, who is the connection from DA HOOK UP. So I cannot lie nor incriminate myself if ever questioned.

So after I found out how much they wanted, I chose a make and color. I promised to have my money the following day. Well, about 20 minutes later the Ipod appeared on my desk. Joe (a.k.a. gay boyfriend) came in and seemed interested in getting one himself. However, he is saving his money for his property taxes. So since his birthday is next Friday (June 30th) I decided to get him one for his birthday.

He wanted the exact same one I got. I approached my co-worker and asked for another one from DA HOOK UP. Another 20 minutes went by and I had my second Ipod. I ended up writing my co-worker a check and she was going to pay the "connection" in cash her self.

So now I am enjoying my Ipod, as is Joe. But while I was setting up the software on my PC and registering my Ipod, my computer system seemed to take awhile. I was afraid there for a second that the police were being contacted. I started peeking out my blinds looking for the cops. Yeah, I may be paranoid, but I have never done anything like this before.

So I got my 400+ songs added to my Ipod. And I really enjoyed what little I got to use of it today. Damn job always getting in the way!

Anyway, I told Joe, if we are ever questioned about our Ipods, we have no idea where they were purchased cause they were a gift. Hell, I got a good deal on these Ipods and I refuse to fuck up DA HOOK UP. You never know when I may need to use it again!
