We had the day off today, and I just wanted to lay in my bed and do nothing but fade in and out of sleep. I did this until 4pm and finally decided to get my day started after I missed several calls from the right people. My cousin Jamal, who is a infantry Marine, just came back from Afghanistan and is staying in Brooklyn. I wanted to link with him and go to a basketball tournament that was sponsored by his brother. I quickly became sidetracked when I found out my friend Matty "Makeitwork" was in town. We became friends our sophomore year in college and been close ever since. He took all five of friends to CAU's homecoming coronation as his dates, and it was definitely an epic night.
I also found out where my friend Farren lives in Harlem and we are contemplating on getting an apartment together WHEN I officially move to NYC. She is a free spirit, so I will be kept on my toes and explore all parts of the city. She found out about a free B.O.B concert in the Meat Packing District. I invited my cousin to go with us, because I want to have a real NYC experience with him before he goes back to work.
I am trying to fall in love with the city, but I am secretly missing Atlanta, especially since I spent time with my friends that I ran the city with. I was surreal to be walking the city together. Matt an I vowed to always stay in contact and grow together. He keeps me in touch with the underground indie world and I am trying to convince him to move here (after he finishes school). I told him he cannot be Van Wilder and be in school until 30 years old.
