I'm completely surprised that I didn't start one of these before! I'm one of those people who kept a journal growing up & the type of person who'd spend hours commenting & replying to posts online. Every time I'd watch an episode of Run's House, his morning prayers would serve as a reminder to create one. Nonetheless, my habitual procrastination hindered me from doing such. I've finally come to the realization that despite the exploitation of my personal life, pictures & actions on facebook, everyone should be allowed (or priveleged, really) to access a deeper view into my thoughts & how i feel about whatever topics i choose to yap about in detail.
....so my dad decided to volunteer his lovely children to pick up a complete stranger from JFK airport, yayyyy. Only one of us agreed to do it, but we figured we'd bond & all go together: me, damaly & bean. We ran a few errands beforehand & even purchased some food from our favorite Spaniard spot, Fiesta. I thoroughly enjoyed my arroz de camarones as we all exchanged stories, chuckling all the way into New York. Sounds like fun right? It was, but the fun was shortlived. The Haititan stranger's flight was delayed (of course) & rather than arriving at 7:30, we are instead waiting for her plane to land 'around 11:30'. Riiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhttttt. We're gonna be here til 2.
What would a night be if damaly didn't almost get us arrested? We decided to park illegally on what damaly deemed a 'small curve', but is more commonly referred to as an off ramp, to sleep away the time. Seeing as how we did just eat, sleeping was obviously the next step. Naturally, several other Haitians (we're ever the trendsetters) had already done the same. Approxiametely 20 minutes into our shut-eye some police man comes along blaring his horn indicating for all cars to migrate to the parking lot. We didn't like his tone so we were all in agreeance that we were gonna drive as slowly as possible & hinder any forward movement the silly copper had in mind. Did i mention my sister was also shouting profanities & flipping him a perfectly manicured bird? We let every car in front of us & made a valiant & rather successful effort to put a damper on his night. you're welcome!
