Thanks for the warm reception everybody!
Man, it's crazy how you can miss people that you've never really met before! Some of your avatar's changed and it's like I have to get use to you with a new haircut or something
It was close to Jehova's Witnesses, I was with the other group that knocks on your door--the Mormons!
Thanks for the updates everyone, the Scarecrow of Oz looks really good! Everyone wants to have Stian's baby? What else is new?
Haha Gary! I forgot my brutha pass! It's pretty funny, we were walking through SE D.C. and this kid starts yelling at us and we just kept walking, because, let's get real, how many times a day does that happen in Southeast? (The answer is: a lot). Well, he targets the missionary I was with and says: "ya'll hit my friend back there, now we gotta fight!" Well, we kind of ignored him and he disappears. Before we know it, there's about 8-10 guys with him and he's coming up behind us fast. We told them who we were and about half of them wanted to leave us alone, but the other half just wanted to fight and some quick cash. So, my heart is pounding pretty hard at this point, and I was pretty sure I was going to die (pretty naive, looking back they were pretty harmless, but I thought for sure they'd pull a knife). So, in slow motion one of them comes up behind the missionary I was with in slow motion and clocks him right in the jaw! Then, they split into groups of four, and he starts getting pummelled (he never fell down though, I was impressed). As for me, I apparently got the nicer crowd, they just wanted to circle around me and say some unpleasant things to me. The main fighter broke off from the other missionary at one point and started to come at me with his fists up, we made eye contact for a minute and he stopped in his tracks, turned around and started punching my friend again. Call it what you want, but I was working as hard as I could, and I consider this a little miracle. I didn't get touched. So, a car drove by and the kids scattered but first wanted our money, not realizing that missionaries are more broke than they are (don't let the suits fool you). So, instead we gave them all church literature (they were upset because there wasn't enough for all of them to get something) and ran. Well, the cops showed up and said "Don't stay around this neighborhood". "Don't worry," we replied, "we mostly work over there." "What?! That's worse than it is over here."
Anyway, that was a long story, but hopefully you enjoyed it. That area was four months of my life
I'm interested in getting back into A:M, as soon as I can round up $100. I'll be interested in doing some volunteer work, but it would be really nice to have some extra cash for a particular girl that I'm growing attached to. So, is there any A:M related jobs out there? My work is pretty good, and I'm not looking to make lots of cash, just a little date/gas money for now. Let me know. Thanks everybody and it's good to be back!
Martin's in Africa?
