Just wanted to let you know my appreciation for you mentally bringing me back to MIA '03. As I sat in my cubicle looking into the cold, dark abyss that is Cincinnati at 4:51PM, I said to myself, let me see what Mike Craig is talking about. Ah, to reminisce on the beaches, the parties, and the overexpenditure of the mid-twenties thousandaire in Miami. Who'd have thought that after rolling up to the hotel disguised as a juice bar and unpacking our bags in the 6 by 6, $220/night room that we'd have 3 of the most memorable days to boot...complete with overconsumption of alcohol, females, and just silly kickin' it. I can just imagine what it'd have been like if I hadn't been sick.
But anyways, back to the abyss...
Hey Mikey,
Thanks for the shoutout, I'll make sure to keep bringing you the hottest, most enlightening, entries as only I can :) You know I got to keep you thinkin'!! Be on the lookout and cop the book when I drop it one of these days... Stay Fly,
S. Fulgham
Madden Haters? I don't think I ever really said I hated Madden, but I guess it was a good assumption :) Maybe I won't be as descriptive next time I talk about the hypnotizing media that simulates narcotic induced gazez at a small screen which transmits animation to grown men ages 18-34 and causes them to lose all sense of their surroundings...ooops, there I go again. J/K MikeCraig you know its all in love :)
Appreciate the love mikecraig. And I'll have you know, there have been, gasp, NO homicides in E. St. Louis since I got to the 'Lou! (of course by the time you read this, that statement could be inaccurate)
I'm tired of folks still commenting on my salty @ss greens. I will have you know I can cook a mean pot of fresh greens. Nobody should be eating canned greens anyway. That's some up-north isht. I might just have to prove y'all wrong and bring greens to the housewarming...or...maybe I'll stick with what I know...Shrimp Etoufee or gumbo would prolly taste much better. Not that I can't cook greens, though...
