HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An ode to my homegirl on her 23rd

Girl, let me just tell you from someone who's been 23 for approximately 4 months- WE ARE NOW HEADING TOWARDS OLD!!!!!!!!!! No longer can we kick it to the wee hours of the morning with wreckless abandon. What the heck did we have to do the next morning- CLASS (lol)- like that couldn't easily be skipped. So in an ode to you on your birthday I will attempt to recount in short form many of the events that would allow us to reminensce on our youth. Good ol Freshman year (Wwwwwwwwwwwwwoooohoooooo- you said you wanted 18 back so here it goes in random order or as i remember them) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1st party of freshman year- Essos or the Warehouse- Esso's prevails................. Trip to Chamblee for FRIDAY'S?!!!!! (when there's one a 10 minute cab ride away) and subsequently getting stuck....... the old man that hits on us later that just happens to be a "Morehouse Alum" ........ the stink bomb on the MARTA train....................Deah's got a tongue ring...................Lauryn Hill's the Ex Factor.................who is this Joel guy and why did this girl just forget her damn name !?................................you had a program due at what time? midnight? it's 4am!!!!...............watching the sunrise on the strip...................dammit we ate the whole pint of dulce de leche........................... why are we at Clark waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy after curfew (for them that is)...........................RV- enough said ...............It's that D-I-R-T-Y S-O-U-T-H................MsDeeyah arrived on the scene, and the now infamous internet crackhead was born................... FUNK JAZZ (ENOUGH SAID)...................Damn I never knew it could be this damn cold outside (we found out in the February Funk Jazz)................ and exactly how many strangers did we take rides from this year? shouldn't we be on the side of milk carton by now?.........................damn that MARTA station gets farther and farther every damn day!!!!!!!!.................. Homecoming concert 1998............................the year you became a Honda nerd.....................intro to Akil...........................you were in the lab until what time?!.......................pamper sessions to the mall for the spa pedi and manicure- dinner to match.............. the frakenstein shoes from steve madden.....................Manley Hall (such fond memories)............................when the strip was THE STRIP...............when Market Friday was the Hot Shit and GQ should have been our middle names because that's for damn sure how we were lookin................................damn how did we lose Mal and Tai at Funk Jazz?!...................... so you're going to be an RA in hot ass McAlpin...................

Okay so Deah I think i gave you 18 back in a shambled flash. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLIE!!!!!!!! I love you much and hope you have a great one after you get done doing your grown up stuff (like working EWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!)
