greek to me

drama club made front page of the mississippi press ... big up. the kids did a really great job and i wish more community members had been in attendance to see them shine. hopefully our program at the end of the month gets a little more attention. rather than tackle the long list of incredibly important things i need to do, i stuck around for the step show afterwards. and am glad i did. i hadnt laughed that hard in a long time, and i laugh a lot. was really refreshing to see the kids outside of school, in their element, just being kids. also laughed to myself at the fact that in a room filled with at least 500, the only other "white" attendee was the DJ. the irony lies in the fact that a few weeks earlier at the mardi gras ball i noted that the only "black" individual present among the 1,000+ was .... yep, the DJ. i'm so glad music transcends race.

after burgers and a pineapple shake from ed's drive-in, met up with walsh and the yacht club crew at sea dawg's, rita's bar. country music and beirut, such a drastic shift from the hot gym i just left. i was proudly rockin' my obama t-shirt (print of his profile and the words "yes we can" across the chest) and sitting in the corner when a bearded guy came up to me.

"that barack obama?"

yea.

"you voting for that nigger?"

already did.
