the other day, while trying to stuff my face in less than 30 minutes at my local subway, i ran into a former professor of mine and a local celebrity, Dr. Micheal White. first of all i was amazed that he recognized and remembered me. i mean, Ive only had three or four people who have taught me Spanish, but I'm sure hes had at least a few hundred students. regardless, he offered me a firm handshake and asked me what id been up to. i gave him the whole spiel, retail by day, music by night, and quipped that i obviously wasn't doing as well as he was. he reflected on that for a moment and said

"naw, i just been at it longer."

i stuffed the rest of my sandwich down my throat and we went our separate ways. me back to work and him to japan for a gig.

reallly made me think.
