this is a true story that my friend, phil, gave me. it is tripping me out because my girl dj and i have been discussing about the little voice inside your head. we have been doing it so much that we are collaborating on a project together.( you'll see). if this is not an affirmation that we are going the right direction, i dunno what is...



heres a story for ya'll....on friday i had jury duty..a friend of mine - aleli - works in the county courthouse and i had planned on meeting her for lunch...i had called her a couple times during the day and finally one last time when my lunch break came around....after a no show...i shrugged it off and decided to eat my lunch at this pnoy spot in newark ave (jersey city)....in the beginning of the day as i sat and waited for my name to be called for a jury panel, i wondered to myself what my agenda was for the day...why was i there? who was i supposed to meet? what was i supposed to learn?...we all have one really - an agenda...sumthin we take/given to us from each day no matter how small or insignificant...i was really just trying to make the best of a boring day....anyway..back to lunch...i couldnt finish my food and kinda got full really fast so i had my left-overs wrapped up and decided to go home since I had another hour to kill.....i walked home....usually i stick to one route when i go home (down oakland and make a right on st pauls straight home)....not today..i walked by Fleet St. in my neighborhood and thought to myself "lets go this way today"...i crossed the street while i was on the phone with Christine and saw a man lying on the ground next to a delivery truck....at first i thought he was just looking under his truck for repairs and such....i noticed he was positioned awkwardly to be doing such a thing...i got closer and spoke up..."hey buddy u ok?"....he was heaving and having problems breathing...his truck door was open and he had fallen out probably in an attempt to get help...i immediately called 911 and relayed the info to an emergency operator...he was non responsive..unconscious..breathing but sporadically etc etc....he was picked up and brought to a hospital within 20 mins.....

moral?
we all have roles to fill everyday..no matter how small...sometimes it pays to listen to that little voice in your head to do something u would otherwise not do...we're all connected in some way dont forget that....=P



we are all connected, somehow...
