Kells Recent Birthday Strikes A Midlife Crisis.....Comparisons to Chris Brown Are No Longer Imaginable
Mark J. Konkol of the Chicago SunTimes wrote a great article on Crandon Davis (old classmate, and neighborhood associate of mine) who was recently shot 4 weeks after 3 of his best friends (see my blog on May 8th, 2008) were shot and killed in a unsolved home invasion. I haven't spoken to Crandon in months but he stays a couple of blocks away from me. I can't imagine what he's going through right now. After reading the article it sounds as if he's afraid for his life. In the next couple of weeks I'm sure I'll bump into him and talk breifly. All I can do is tell him to "be safe." It's hard to give advise on what and what not to do when I'm living my life looking over my shoulder as well. With the way things are going on the southside of Chicago lately, black males are becoming almost extinct.
I turned 22 on May 23rd. Friday my friend Angelo started the festivities by buying 6 bottles of vodka. Not 2......not 4.......6! He obviously has my best interest in mind - being that I like to drink a tad bit (yes that's right, a tiny winy tad bit). I managed to do a couple of my 1st ever body shots, and got lucky enough to have some ladies give me a pole dance I'll never forget. Saturday my uncle threw a barbecue in dedication of Memorial day. The arrogance in me makes me believe it was a celebration of my birthday, either way it was a great time. Sunday just when I thought the birthday celebration was over, we ended up in Aurua IL to celebrate even more! Monday was no different. After a quick trip to Brewyn IL, the fellas and I relaxed indoors and shared memories of growing up. There's so much that I can't recall about the weekend, or refuse to because I'd be in major trouble. I guess the saying "pictures say 1,000 words" best fit this scenario. Thanks to everyone who took part in my birthday weekend. I have plenty of video of the weekend, but I've yet to master the art of editing video, therefore I need another week before I post any of that footage.
I also managed to go to a couple of prom "send offs" in my neighborhood to show support. This one young lady I've known since she was a little girl managed to accompany her pet monkey to prom. Ok ok ok he's not a monkey, but com'on.......if it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck.....you get the point.
Have you ever been caught at the crossroads of hunger and passion? Well from the looks of it, this young lady has.
After this man was caught cheating, his wife decided to even the score by hitting him upside the head with an axe! Literally! Damn what ever happened to a quick snip snip of the pubic area. Talk about being creative, these women these days are nuts! I guess that's even more reason not to cheat.
Just in case you're wondering, Dennis Rodman is still being......Dennis Rodman.
Finally, here at Lost in Transition we can never get enough of my best friend Phil's crazy antics in the club. It seems the Navy has tainted his mind a tad bit. Phil we sure hope those aren't hookers. See you in June buddy.
For offline buddies: I've been without a phone for a couple of days (since the night of my birthday). I "spazzed out" and threw my Blackberry out the sunroof while on the expressway. You want details?! Those were the details, word for word. Anyhow I have another Blackberry and the messenger number has changed (32C09131).
Final Thought: Live everyday like it's your last.

I remember seeing Brandon (Crandon's twin) last summer or summer '06 and we broke bread for a while. He had just got out of jail and it appeared to be "COOL" to him to have witnessed such "an experience." These shoot-outs is getting too close to home and knowing the victims is like damn...
This weekend was the best I have had all this year. We turned all of the events out and got trashed. We did so much this weekend and I was just so in the mood for whatever.
Damn Kells do you ever get sleep?
Be careful. Chicago doesn't seem like a place I would ever wanna visit after hearing about the recent crime waves.
Im loving the site!(*#()*!

I had a GREAT time in Chicago this past weekend, as usual.. To be honest nowhere is really safe, you just have to watch your back at all times & don't go to the wrong places. I went to the Kanye concert Friday night- which was CRAZY!! After the concert, we returned to our hotel before going out (Renaissance on Wacker) and were fortunate enough to see the conclusion of a prom in the lobby. We def don't get down like people do in the Chi i.e. homemade dresses and boys with garter belts on their heads??? WTF, hilarious to say the least.
On friday May 23rd I saw a grown man (Angelo Davies) hit his own head on a beer glass and begin to bleed, and then wobble away from the table with the assistance of a hooters waitress to go and patch himself up in the mens room, it was at this point that I realized that not only I was drunk but my patnas were to. Needles to say we went on and enjoyed the night G500 and red cups included in this picture so to all that missed the birthday this year we are taking early reservations for angelos birthday which will be the next party all you need is to be latin, female and have a "fat ass", Afro-Americans need be pleasant and openminded, white chicks.....well....... just bring your AMEX.
.......THAT IS ALL........
Angelo - I had a gang of fun that weekend. However, my biggest memory was you cracking yourself across the head in Hooters. And the pretty waitstress having to escort you to the washroom.
As for the No Bitchazzness Shirts – I think we’re gonna have to order somemore, how bout it? Phil I know you’re reading this, don’t worry – Angelo bought your own shirt that you’ll have as soon as you get back to Chicago. It’s a different color than we have, so don’t worry about any homo comparisons.
Jamie - Sleep is the cousin of death, so I try my best to stay alive.
Lynda - What's going on with you girl? I thought you were a good girl? Pretty respectful in class, worked at a nursing home with my Grandma, and very mild mannered on the site. Hmmm....perhaps this is you coming out of your shell. Yes that's right, perhaps this is the real you.
Tampa Lady - Hoooold up! Just because you come to Chicago every 6 months doesn't give you the go ahead to talk about our prom dresses. Tacky yes. Oddly cut maybe. But even more important their DIFFERENT! Besides, the garter belts on the heads of the guys are instant classics. LoL…I’m just kidding, I’m only lucky enough my prom date didn’t embarrass the hell out of me with one of those homemade thingies.
Anyhow, I hope you had fun in Chicago.
Matt - White girls with AMEX cards?!HAHAHAHAHA.....something is really wrong with you.
Your standards over the years have progressed, and unfortunately your ego has done the same. What ever happen to the quiet and shy Matt that we’ve all grown to love. Not anymore….now it’s luxury cars, foreign women, and extreme vulgarity. Come to think of it, you turned out alright…..son I’m proud of you.
As for me throwing the BlackBerry out the sunroof, I apologize. You know when I “spazz out” it can be quite ridiculous.
