Crazy Weekend

It was a crazy weekend. Went to Mississippi for my cousin's graduation and to visit Memphis Tenn, and BOOOI, do I have stuff to tell ya'll.I thought i was gonna go down there with my family, kick it, and act a damn fool. So much for that plan. Well, I left on Friday afternoon around 12:00-1:00pm. Got down to Mississippi around 7 somethin'. Found out some gruesome stuff. Well, my brothers' friends got shot up and have been getting shot up for a couple weeks. The most recent thing that happened was that the house house next to my kin has recieved a stray bullet. Nice, right? Well, that night 2 of our closest got shot as well. One was shot twice in the abdomen. The other was shot 10 times...TEN TIMES!!! ARe you serioius? U've got to be joking, right? What the f*ck is goin on down there? A few nights prior to that, this dude my brother goes to school with got into a scuffle with these two dudes. Later on that evening, they found him, beat him to a bloody pulp, put him in his car trunk, and set it on fire. Things are really gettin crazy down in the Mississippi Delta. Things are getting even crazier in Memphis Tenn, North Memphis to be exact. That's where some more of my family stays. Why is everybody putting themselves in the worst situations. I really don't know. Man, so much for goin' down therr for some good new and celebration. Last night, I took my cousin's bike, went up to the gas station, filled the tires up with air, and rode it for about 3 or 4 hours.... Damn, the simple things in life can do wonders, u know? While I was ridin' around, I would get an ocassional "hey lil' mama" and "what's good, lil' lady" from those down south Miss'ssippi boyz. I started thinking about all of my OWN problems, which I thought I originally went down there to get away from. Man, everything is just getting really confusing to me.... life, money, school, love, sex, and all that good stuff. I swear, sooner or later I will finally get all of my shyt together, in an orderly fashion, like i like everything else to be.... eh, whatever. All I know is that right after i left that gas station, someone else got shot about 5 minutes l8er. I was more angry and upset than i was even CLOSE to being scared or frightened. This shyt was just gettin crazier and crazier as the days went by. i was ready to go home then. As soon as I got back to my house, I found so many missed calls, due me getting no service while i was down there. I talked to Bobby, Whit, Anthony, Ryan, Ray, Thomas, Bunny, Dee, Allison, the other Anthony (professor) and Shannon. Man, I was only gone a couple days and I missed talkin' to all those people. Still can't get over this crazy ass weekend.
