It's been a long time, since I came in the door, I said it before

Yup, ya heard it right......
Homage to my youth.. I remember being a kid on Gates and Seneca Aves. hanging out with my cousin, actually, she was watching me, I was like 7 and her 15 and loving the boys and bothered by me!! But, what I remember most is that the dudes she hung with were super cool, kangol rocking, knee sock wearing, adidas rocking homies... They had a boom box and there was always the latest beats pumping... Card board box cut to lay flat, thick silver tape lining the edges... Yeah, man, they were definitely the cool cats. Hell they were so cool that one of their names was Freshy... ha! ya gotta love that! So I used to sit there for hours watching them dance, while she was making out with the boys!! Crazy as it may sound some of those boys are still in her "circle" and today they are about 37-40 years old with wives, children and mortgages...

Life it brings you full circle, when I was first in High School, I used to have to take the bus and I'd see all these middle aged people with their I hate the world faces... I used to think what the heck is wrong with these people? But, now I get it! Now, don't get me wrong, I don't hate the world. I'm just bored with the routine of life. There is very little room for spontaneity. I still have it in my own sense, but I'm very limited nowadays. But this is the look on some of the faces of the "Get Fresh Crew" paying their bills and the everyday humdrum of life.

Anyway, point being the same cousin I spoke about up at the top of this had a baby when she was like 20, that meant that I was 14 when he was born. OMG I adored him, he loved me, admired me, I would take him to the park and the beach and we would dig for sand crabs. He just thought that I was (and rightfully so) the coolest chick on the planet. Well, yesterday, he turned 17!! HUH? HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?? So yesterday when I called him I said "Dude, when you were 3 I was 17" he said "yeah, I remember" (you know at 17 they don't talk much) so I respond, "I just loved you when you were three, you never left my side" and then he said the words that melted my heart "Why would I have wanted to leave your side? Do you remember how much fun we had?" DUH!! of course I do dude.... and I cherish that crap too! So I say "Hey, we still have fun now" and he says "Yeah... and now you give me condoms too" HAHAHAHA!

True story...
