The Reunion/ ignit spaniard

Posted by VonDign 1/28/10 0 opinions

I wanted to write once per day while i'm out here but time didn't allow for such a thing to happen.

Friday-Sunday was a haze bubble filled with alchohol.


Yes ya boy did some major partying and some major catching up with a buncha homies, others had to get xed out. My bad tho, I'm on the Chinatown bus lookin out the window of my beloved NYC skyline...even in the rain she looks amazing as fuck. It still look like it's missing the towers I still cant believe they gone smh. Anyway ima do a little recap..nah ima go in when describing my weeekend.

Friday I left early for Manhattan or the city as some would call it. I met some people I haven't seen in a whiiile; since high school to be exact, we had sme major catching up to do n we did that over playin random games at Dave n busters, white castle hit the spot like a muhhhg cuz its been a while. I chilled with them for almost he whole day, coolin, walking aroung 42nd street chilling over at Bryant Park . Talkin bout people from high school n isht my ass found out that miss quiet chick was the od slide in hs lol amongst otha shit, i was totally oblivious smh. Catching up with them motivates me to do my thing cuz us as a class (of 2000) are doin our thing in a major way.

Anyway how I come to heard from these fellas was on some unfortunate shit. A mutual friend of ours was talkin mad reckless about he Haiti situation and being that me n one of the dudes from hs I saw on Friday are Haitian we def took offense. I'd explain bit I'll just post the bullox that ensued.





Yeah that dumb ass shit. Homie knows nothing literally smh. I had a nice ass response for that one nigga to but as soon as homegirl said ignorance truly is bliss i said fuck it...why even bother. Usually people would say pray for em but i dont wanna bother doing that either fuck em in the ear son, real talk. lol
ANYway
Yea me n sd were gonna meet soon anyway when he comes to Philly but after i made a decision to actually make it to NY i hit him up and got a mini reunion goin. We even talked about this bull shit too ...it wasnt til the end tho...

About the Haiti Quake well my cousin and aunt are okay. That much I know...everyday the reality of the situation gets that much realer for me. I saw a special over at 60 minutes after the Jets beat the Chargers on Sunday night and there was this one moment this one dude brought the reporter over to this site where everyone brought all the dead bodies hey could find. It was one of them mass graves and they showed that there were bodies everywhere *pauses*



Umm it was overwhelming for me to see a huge truck shoveling piles of deadbodies on the back of a pickup truck the size of a 16 wheeler. It was disheartening to see in the least because shit it was people from
my country on the back of them trucks its hard to admit but alot over whelming to write.

Back in 91 I was sent to port-au prince for a year, summer to summer annnd it was crzy lol those were dark times to be in Haiti man! Almost everynight there would be gunfire...political unrest, gangs...there was even a point where I saw bodies from one side of a sidewalk to another...probably to discourage anyone from going into our immidiate vincinity. Shit was terrible over there but there was beauty in some parts it was simple. The people over there are always in good spirits despite the shakiness of the government, the gangs and the constant barrage that is mother nature. If anyone can go through this and come out greater it's us.

The best memory I remembered during my time I'm port-au prince was the ride to school. I remembered it was a crazy long ride and we'd see all types of animals and huge fields I was captivated and if I wasn't asleep on the ride to school I'd be chillin and enjoying the scenery, naming the animals I see in creole. LoL I'd remember my grandmother (who's in BK) having me stand for loooong periods of time because I couldn't recite their alphabet so every letter I got wrong meant I had to restart again. Hmm I also saw pussy for the first time in Haiti (I was a cute lil kid)... I ain't do nothing tho... Shit at that point what could I have done! Shit not to mention watching my grandma kill chickens and turkeys (shudder) and makin music with my friends at the time using pales and buckets. Life over there is hard but it was simple... and i guess thats what Haiti means to me..

Damn I hope Lundi is ok... I haven't heard from her since I left back in 92 but still... cant help but think about what she doin or if shes even alive right now..

Iunno how to feel right now theres a sense of uncertainty. It just hit me now cause i just talked to my aunt who lives in Brooklyn, New York who I just found out has a better picture of whats going on over there than my mom does. ummm Moms said that they talked to my aunt Ketely and cousin who lives in port-au prince and that they are OK. My lil cousin called today tellin me that my cousin over there is trapped in a garage n shit so i talked to his moms and she painted such a horrible picture which made this whole ordeal that much realer for me than it already was.

Ummm She told me that she was talking to my aunt ketely after the initial earthquake. My cuz just came from somewhere with his mom/ my aunt and they were getting out the whip and going in the home. All of a sudden the the quake hit and then communications were lost. They called again then my aunt said she was ok but she was talking bout how they lost everything in the house but the house itself was ok then the aftershock hit then communications were lost again. My aunt over in BK has been trying to get in touch with them ever since but.... nothing.

Aint no electicity, no food i suspect although if they are near their crib and it hasnt gone down (i hope) they should be okay on the food part. But that isnt the case for every Haitian over there so I implore you to do what you can like texting "yele" to 501501 or anything you feel you can do to help the people over there. Shits fucked up cuz its just one thing after another over there, year by year. smh
