soundtrak: oasis: don't go away
this weekend was weird.
had a concert on saturday. as timon and i were driving into church for rehearsal before, we discovered that a car had parked, with hazard lights blinking, at the mouth of the driveway. we just thought it was someone who's car had broken down and were looking for help (the car was empty). two ladies were walking up the road, so i pulled in and timon and i got out of the car. one of the ladies looked distressed while the other lady, just kept on walking, past the car, continuing up the road. she was mumbling something to herself. so i guess to make the long story short, walking lady was going through drug withdrawal and kept on getting out of the car as the other lady was driving. the distressed lady didn't want to call the police at first since walking lady was carrying a purse load of assorted drugs, threatening to go off and OD somewhere. it was all very strange.
aabs just came back from visiting family and friends in the midwest this week; i was surprised to get a phone call from her. since she doesn't have a car (and the maryland suburbs are not as convenient to get around as dc), i offered to take her around to do some grocery shopping and a quick targ.et run (it's not like i really do anything else on a sunday, especially when classes aren't in session). in t,arget, perusing the dvd isles (which i do way too much, with the little money i make), i received a text message from B: see you in two weeks. seems like he's jet-setting off to europe to visit some family. almost makes me wish that i made the effort to try to visit kenya this summer, knowing that i probably won't get the chance in a long while (but then again.. the money...).
after dropping aabs off at home, i randomly called Y and found out that he was nearby, on the pike. we met up at the diner he was in (trying to get some work done before the boss came back in this week) and had dinner. through our meal, an altercation involving the police was occurring the parking lot. i didn't think anything of it, until i realized that my car was parked right in the middle of it all. some guy was stopped by the police, for driving while intoxicated and drug possession. as Y and i walked to my car, i got to see the 50 various bottles of hard liquor, as well as different drug packets, that they pulled out of the back of his car. but even that didn't cause all the ruckus. this guy was a fighter, struggling with the police as they cuffed him. there was blood and puke everywhere (thankfully, not on my car). Y waited with me as i waited for the cop to wipe off the blood/puke mix off his car before he moved it. lovely. that's probably the most action i've gotten all week.
during dinner, Y was talking about meeting up with LS for coffee or something and i asked him why would he be so eager to meet somebody so crazy. but i think he just wants backup, which i'm willing to do. the things i do for friends.
this week finds me meeting new students, coming in this fall, to my program (i.e. free food) and meeting up with the guy that will hopefully let me do a second rotation in his lab. pray for a sista.
peace.
