Thursday...

On the 25th of June, I'm taking a trip back to The Bronx, and...

...my main reason for going is that on that night, at 7 pm, there is a Hip Hop celebration in Crotona Park in The Bronx. All the old school Rappers and people in the music business are suppose to show up. I hear a concert is going to happen. We will see.

Three days later, I will have had 3 months away from where I was born and raised. Bus leaves at 8 am and gets there at 3 pm. Returning, leaves at 11:30 pm and gets here at 4:55 am. 5 hours and 5 minutes later, I will have to be at work. SWEET!! No biggie, 6 hour bus ride and I will be sleeping all the way. What am I going to do in NYC?

I planned as much as I can to the last detail, but knowing me and NYC, things can change. I was going to get a motel room, but I know too many people other than family, that can and will put me up. But being away, even this short amount of time, people change. And sometimes it's for the worse. I'm going to stay with my ex/girlfriend, she is taking Thursday off, and is expecting m. She lives outside of NYC, about an hour away. Yes, I still need and want peace and quiet.

Thing is...all my plans will change if I meet this certain some one from my past, who I expect will be at this gatherng on Wednesday night. If that happens, things will for sure change. No matter what, I'm not missing bus bus, I am not calling out, missing a day from work. But, if she shows up, if I see her across the ay there... I'm homing in like a heat seeking missile. The last time I seen her was in the late 80's, but she is a friend of a friend and this friend isn't saying anything about her. To me that means that it is a surprise...for me. And, if that happens, I'm leaving with her and getting a room somewhere fast!!

There are people I want to meet up with a see my short time there, but...I don't know, they have to be available for me to see. Like family and friends. It seems that people are always too busy and not wanting to take the time, break their schedule. They aren't flexible.
