The step and the walk

I love the spirit of Earth Day and the awareness it brings to the minds of us common'rs. BUT I've found out Earth Day is also let loose day as it brings the circus to the big city. So the circus apparently came to town on Sunday afternoon in midtown. Circus, ey? Yes, carnies, circus folks. small hands.

After 4+ hours of school work in a 4x4 cell I like to call the study rooms at the Library I decided I'd had enough. As I told the establishment what they can do with their educationisms I took off on the old skool bicycle cruiser ballin' through midtown with gang signs flashin and gold teeth shining. The wind felt awesome and flowed through my shirt like I was in a video shoot with Puff Daddy.

I found myself dropping the switches on the cruiser so I was barely off the ground and bouncin. Dr. Dre would be proud.

So the park was packed awesome! Love to see Memphians taking advantage of the great parks we have in this city....but wait I told myself. Check out these people, as the body odor formed a cloud of awesomeness. As I cruised around I started noticing these people look like circus folks. Lots of full body tattoos, mullets, mandals, j'orts, way too much skin to accompany those fat rolls, etc., etc., etc. While I would have loved to stay and practice my diction of "hey mannnnnnn", "brahhhhhhhhhh" and "dooooooood" I decided to move on around the park as I knew these carnies had to be either from Arkansas or from outside Shelby County. I kept checking out plates on cars.....and I was correct the majority of the time.

Now we're talking. I stumped upon a DJ booth and low and behold I came across Jason Castro's, American Idol fame, brother who was in full tilt and dancing like a total chick. I was totally amused as he danced with himself and his quilt skirt pants. Yes quilt skirt pants. There had to be at least a couple of yards of material in those things. He was a classic that made me laugh. I love individuality.

Needless to say. I welcome you outer regional folks but I'm still going to giggle. Peas.
