Went to New York this weekend to kick it with some of my folks from college. Really cool experience. My homegirl Alicia looked out for me big by putting me up @ her spot. Much love for that shorty! My ride was my boy Jewels, you know, the guy from the Home Depot journal entry...He, his girl (cool ass) Genelle, Majidat, and Lynn were the party going up to New York. The ride up was cool as hell, although we left at 11 instead of the planned 7. So of course the arrival time was mad late. Alicia was good enough to talk with a brotha even tho' I walked up to her spot a little after three. Despite being tired, I didn't make it to sleep til probably like 6, and woke up at 12. Chilled with Alicia, ate some eggo waffles and watched a bit of digital cable. Rolled out to the subway with Alicia to connect with Julian (Jewels). Had to go from Harlem to Brooklyn, a 50 minute ride because part of the ride ran locals due to construction.
Hooked up with Julian to ride out to LI for the shin dig. Got there late because I got to the rendevouz point at 6:30 instead of 5:30. Man, it was more heads than I expected at that joint. Wow. Saw some folks I hadn't seen since graduating...maybe before. It was wild because all people knew of me was the Lee from freshman or sophomore year...and I am so far from that. I was cool with that tho'. I got to chill with my boys Jewels, Dio, OJ, Dennis, and Jumand all in one spot...felt like old times; felt good. The only person missing from the crew was Derwin who didn't show up...wait til I talk to you about that dog!!! Aww, man...Novella is the bomb for putting that joint together, man. After we chilled for a bit, we headed to Manhatten to some Lounge and chilled as they were frontin on giving folks tickets to get in the party downstairs. Tis cool, I ain't a club cat. Besides, I wanted to go to sleep mad long ago, I was dead on my feet at points during the dinner. (cool ass) Genelle was nice enough to drop me off in Harlem around three... Sunday was WakeuplateChillwithAliciaBouncefromNewYork. I left out a lot, but I have to do the work thing, y'dig.
PS- Andrine, Kiesha, Damon, Francis, and the rest of you guys...it was good to see ya'll. Be Good.
