Days like today I miss being in the AUC. It’s bright and sunny. I can smell fresh cut grass. It’s going to be AT LEAST 75 degrees. Today is the kind of day where I would go to Spelman around 12:30 or so and post up by the bookstore. I’d venture into Lower Manley, looking for certain girls, avoiding others, and secretly admiring even more.

Days like today I would try to make my way up the street if I had some money in my pocket/bank account and eat at Gutbusters. I’d get a Pizza Steak with cheese fries and a large drink. Then I’d go over to CAU for a second and see what the strip was talking about. Then I’d go back over to Spelman and harrass more people’s daughters.

Days like today are made for picnics on the yard with somebody grilling hot dogs and chicken wings. Days like today are made for drinking beer out of a cooler and watching people go by. Days like today are made to be outdoors in some manner.

It’s spring for real ya’ll!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch….the group I worked with on the poster presentation came in 1st place!!! (…and we did it with integrity!) Shouts out to Jamila (aka the Mizzle), Melantha, Cyruss, and Nje.

Today I also had a Max-like experience at the barbershop. One of our local friends who has altered his mind irrevocably with drugs came by and started speaking jibberish to us. This young man known as “One Bucket” came by and asked to wash cars for the various customers and even told one dude he looked like Marvin Gaye. On occassion One Bucket will get your car RIGHT (Joe said that if you catch him when he gets that FRESH water early in the morning), but more often then not he will dry your car with the same towel that he did the tires with. Take my word, it was very funny.

Anyway, I’m going to make outdoor moves now.
