5:09pm on a beautiful Sunday afternoon, accompanied by my Best friend we decide to take the shenanigans to Deer Island Park located in Winthrop Massachusetts. Deer Island has one of nicest view of the City of Boston, we had intentions to come write in our Journals and reflect and plan life accordingly.
The theme of the adventure was DAngelo's Pandora station, 1st song that came on was DAngelo's "Crusinin", how appropriate for the occasion. Deer Island is only an 13 minutes drive from our home in East Boston, convientently this destination works for the both of us. While I am driving Bestie says "I knew you were going want to walk somewhere close to the beach", I chuckled I didn't want to walk. I had a different agenda today, I wanted to locate a nice park bench with an amazing view and start working on the Blog.
Next track that comes on is Inner City Blues by the Late and Great Marvin Gaye. The intro bring me a nostalgia of a period of piety and nationwide train of thought amongst people of the African Diaspora fighting for civil Rights. I couldn't get pass the bridge of the record and not be fascaniated by Marvin's Gaye word which are 30 years old.
This song is performed by Marvin Gaye and appears on the album What's Going On (1971).
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Rockets, moon shots
Spend it on the have nots
Money, we make it
Fore we see it you take it
Oh, make you wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
This ain't livin', This ain't livin'
No, no baby, this ain't livin'
No, no, no
Inflation no chance
To increase finance
Bills pile up sky high
Send that boy off to die
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Make me wanna holler
The way they do my life
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Hang ups, let downs
Bad breaks, set backs
Natural fact is
I can't pay my taxes
Oh, make me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Yea, it makes me wanna holler
And throw up both my hands
Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing
Panic is spreading
God know where we're heading
Oh, make me wanna holler
They don't understand
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Dah, dah, dah
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Who are they to judge us
Simply cause we wear our hair long
The two records played on Pandora set the tone to reflect and write, 1st record "Crusin" song which is a rendition of Smokey Robinson classic. I am crusing with my love of my life my finance "Ange". She doesn't understand when I look at her I jut smile. Since I started the blog a year ago so much has changed and I have dealt with the inner city blues but today we are going to embrace the sunshine
First and foremost I am engaged to my bestie. Second I am not working at Tremont Credit Union, I am employeed by the Boston Teachers Union. Third It's been a year since I was an assistant coach at South Boston boys & girls Indoor and Outdoor Track team. The Boys went undefeated in dual meets both indoor and outdoor clinching the South conference each season. Fourth and most important i returned back to school in the Fall of 2014 at Bunker Hill Community College.
I wanted to express myself by reintroducing to my audience with positive news and explain my delay because Dreams Are Tangible Goals
Enjoining the view enjoying the company, the wind starts picking up and we decide to bring the sheningans back to the vehicle "Black Stallion" aka "2pac", oops I forgot to mention we had purchased a vehicle during my hitaus a Toyota Avalon 2013. Another appropiate song comes on Eryka Badu "Window Seat" it's only right that I capture the image from my Window seat
