There's this guy named Aki who used to be on the track team at school and now's like a trainee coach but still takes part in events. So we also work together, actually he's my supervisor. So he's always telling me these stories about when he was younger and stuff. He's like the lil boys you'd see on movies you went around the city stealing clothes, groceries, bicycle parts, cutting up themselves on trails and running from owners and police. Yea, this man did it all; and you can tell he really enjoyed his past when he gives me the stories and shows me the numerous scars he has from bikes to barb wire. One thing for sure, he tells these stories hilariously. Anyways he was telling me one today where he needed this book from the book store for a class (nearly half the semester gone and he now realise he really gotta get the book.LOL) cause the professor gave them homework out of it. So he said he went to check the price out but it was too much so he had to find some way to get this information from the book. So he continued to tell me that Neville, my track teammate, had a camera and he saw him with the camera yesterday. So the joke is now is that Aki went to the book store yesterday and tried to take pics of the so and so page that had on the homework. You could believe that? The book store has cameras and personnel and the man still tried to do it. But he reason he couldn't see the words on the pic good cause the flash was on so he left and went back 3 hours later and it didn't work well then either. So Aki reasoned he waited until this morning to go to the book store when it was really early and nobody around, AND early so that the personnel would be too busy getting things ready to notice him.LOL. Man has a real criminal mind. So he said this time he wouldn't make mistakes so he knelt on the ground with the book and leaned back and then zoomed in on the camera. Man screamed out a loud "BLADOW" and then said, "i got you bitch!" He had my dying. The man is just pure criminal, no lie. Thing is he reasoned that he gotta go back everytime the professor give work. LOl. look, he had me laughing so bad dread. Anytime i'm about to partake in anything illegal and want to get away with it, i know who to call.

I have sad news to report. My granfather died yesterday morning so my mother only got through to me today. He had prostate cancer so when i went home he was slower than usual but still up and about. Point is my mother called me this evening and told me that she was trying to call me last night, but i was knocked out in bed so that's why i didn't get the news before. At least the pain is gone now for the old dude. He was my solj. He's the one who gave me the nickname Bruce an eternity b4 every1 at secondary school called me that. I guess he saw the bruce banner syndrome from small, i don't know.:) Man used to holler real hard at me for throwing rocks at the fowls and picking them out. Look i used to fuck up those fowls good too yuh know, no wonder i turned out to be so straight at throwing and bowling a cricket ball. Damn i was good.lol. Anyways he used to holler at me when i used to be talking to every1 in the living room when he was watching the news. Everyone knew news time was his time so nobody, i mean nobody would talk even at normal level so that this man couldn't hear his news.lol. By the time sports news was finished a large sigh was lifted and then it would be back to normal.LOL. Man used to work for Yorkshire plantation b4 it turned into the rum distillery and used to let me operate the machine that used to pick up the canes. It was like a claw, haven't seen those in a good 8-12 years actually, stopped using those when the bigger, faster machinery came to bim that everyone sees now.

At christmas i asked the man how he doing and he tell me less than what he was b4, so he feel less than a man. I nearly cried but i couldn't let him think he was right. Had to tell him that he'll be good eventually.

*me clicks mp3 and sings along, "memories don't live like ppl do, they always remember you, whether things is good or bad, it's just the memories that you had."

Peace Bradshaw. you're the grandad that most ppl never had or get to be around. Won't forget yuh. /me salutes.
