So most of my family was down here this weekend, one of my peeps was getting married. This joint was nice. She rented a nice Yatch, had her closest friends and family members come through, and off we were to this island. I had never been to a wedding like this before because the ceremony lasted five minutes and half the attendees were drunk before the ceremony.
So here I am looking all sharp and people come over to say hello and ask me about my journey here in FL and all of a sudden come Uncle Joe. Joe is crazy; he’s the glue that keeps my family together. My folks are crazy but Joe is so crazy that you just have to pay him attention. His voice matters no matter how troublesome a situation maybe Uncle Joe got a solution for you. So this homeboi approached me and we’re talking about life, sports, politics etc… and here he comes asking me about marriage and relationships, kids, etc. He’s like B (he used my nickname actually), when will you invite me to something like this? When do I get to come to Florida and celebrate with you and your wife? At this point, I have tuned him out, so I’m like ‘soon as I know, I’ll send you an invite.’ So he and I shared a few more laughs and then I made my way down to the dance floor where auntie Leonne was showing off her dance moves. Shawty 78 but she can still move. She still thinks Bolero is the ish. Lol.
So while I was at the studio last night, I kept on seeing this number pop on my phone ID, so I ignored it because I was busy. So when I got home around midnight, I jumped in the shower and by the time I got out, I had like 15 miss calls, from various family members. Uncle Joe had passed away, yesterday afternoon, about an hour after he landed back home. The autopsy should reveal more but from what I am getting, he died of a heart attack. They’re taking him back to Haiti next week but there’ll be a service in the States for those who cannot make it to HT.
It’s funny how things just go sour when least expected. Earlier in the week my little brother had gotten himself in another situation, which once again, I had to bail him out of, and now this…I guess I’ll be heading to Washington sooner than expected.
RIP JOS

*What's That Growling Noise?*
The WORD wonders. That growling noise could be his stomach. Maybe it’s the
backhoe digging up the front yard. Or, more like...
