Chapter 458: The Summer of 07

I have been home for the past two weeks and let's just say that I miss San Diego just a little. I started my new job at a watermelon farm a few days upon returning to the desert and it has been an interesting experience to say the least. The first morning that I arrived at the farm (keep in mind that I wake up at 4 am and start work at 4:45 am) I was, without being introduced to anyone or even meeting my boss, handed some keys to a 15 passenger van and told to drive the inmates to the fields. Two weeks later I have found my place and know what is expected of me everyday and working with the inmates is a blast, they never cease to make me laugh. I have seen more sunsets in the past two weeks than I have during the rest of my life combined. I am looking forward to the part of my summer after I quit working and I can go have some fun without waking up while the sun is still sleeping. I am going to San Diego for vacation this next week then I will work for a few more weeks after that then I will see where the wind carries me, all I know is that I want to make a trip up the the Four Corners (where Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico meet) with my brother and homie Jake. Hopefully camp meeting works out again this year and definitely gonna have to set some time aside to kick it back in the 623. Hopefully all y'all's summer is going splendid and I would love to hear from anyone. Hit me up on email: ahickman100@ptloma.edu or cell: 520-483-7493. God Bless!

A Breath of Life into my Summer...

The first 3 weeks or so of my summer were fairly dull, but with the visit of my cuz a new hope arose from the ashes of what seemed to be a lost cause and alas a new generation of fun was hatched. Timmyaw, Josh, occasional special guests including but not limited to: H-Bomb, Jen Dub and Camel Terror and I have been up to no good over the past week, reeking havoc upon the lives of those who call Point Loma their home. From antiqueing, to duct-taping; these past few days have been priceless in the lessons learned and the friendships strengthened. I will value these days as I journey into the next chapter of my summer which will more than likely be titled, "Traneyaw: The Farmer who was never to be...", but until then, I will keep on keeping on over here in classy San Diego. Good night and Godspeed.
