“Hello Brooklyn, How ya doin? Where ya goin'? Can I come, too?” ~lil Wayne

Crazy happenings:

Back in July, Jules and I bought round trip tickets to NY outta Chattanooga. Getting to fly outta Chatt as opposed to going down to ATL or over to Na$hville is a treat. Especially when the tickets are roundtrip for 180 bones!

When I was intubated in the hospital, I pinky promised Jules that I wouldn't die, and that we'd go on our trip to NYC.

I'm in love with Hip Hop and I’ve never visited her birthplace, till now.

I was told I wouldn't ever climb again. But I finally got to visit the Gunks, and climb… Thank you Andy!

I'm walking down the street trying to track down this restaurant with my buds when I look over and spot a guy walking a familiar walk on the opposite side. "JACKIE CHAIN!" I hollered out, 'cause I could pick that Alabamian outta anywhere. The rapper replied hollering, "Yo, Wud UP!!! Yo, I'm coming right back!" I didn't even know what he meant until we got to the other side of the street; I look down and see Fader Magazines lining the entire windows of this building. FUGGIN CRAZY! I JUST ran into Fitz, and now I’m staring at ole Yelawolf's Catfish Billy mug on the cover of Fader staring back at me! I was having a moment, an Alabama moment... Then this guy named Clarence appeared outta thin air and gave us all free passes to come into the Fader Fort party that was happening! Outta the millions of people in New York, I run into my homie Jackie Chain. Anyways. Shit was crazy. Life is crazy.

Hope all’s going well!
