My Caribana Weekend

I didn't go to the Caribana parade this year because Carlos'(one of the dudes I was supposed to go with) friend was incarcerated for a mishapping that took place weeks before Caribana, so Carlos went to pay him a visit

After getting my hair cut and going back home to get ready, I called my cousin and he told me, he had a girl on her way to his house, so I should let him "deal with her", send her home and than afterwards I should get ready to leave for him place

I wasn't mad or disappointed at all. It was just past noon, the sun was blistering hot, sitting in the middle of the sky and I didn't want to be sweating and messing up my new gears in the parade, so this gave me a chance to rest my bones before heading out to my cousins place (in my old neighborhood), where we would all leave for the aftermath of the Caribana Parade

What yawl gotta understand is, the Caribana is only one day from about 10 to 6, but the aftermath last for the whole long weekend, so lots more fun was still ahead.

Before arriving to my cousin's House(apartment)I stopped at the liquor store to grab some "potion" to "get right" before heading downtown where the party continued. Upon arrival to my cousins place we also picked up some "Bob Marley"...no not Cd's.lol

The phone calls start coming in, Johnny a friend who happened to have gone to the parade with his girl, tells us to hurry up. After a few more swig of our "potion", we boarded our bus, on our way downtown Toronto.

Not even 2 stops and my cousin says:
yo, check out 12 o clock coming on the bus, I had her in my room the other night, sucking on her titties but she didn't want to give the goods up. Then I saw the girl
am like: Yo, I remember her, she used to work up the street, I wanted to stuff her from way back. You did what? owwwwww

About midway downtown it became evident at one single subway stop that this was the Caribana weekend. WHY? Cause the train became swarmed with black people and black people only. You would have thought it was the Soul train or something, everybody was dressed like they were ready for a video shoot or a cameo
I said to my cousin: I bet you won't find alot of "Tommys" or "Jennifers" today huh ni99a? lol

On arrival to Young street(Young & Dundas), the street only had 4 Things, Ni99as,Babes,Polices and what seemed like a car show, all of each back to back to back. I was there for 3 reasons, to have fun, to socialize with beautiful babes and to see people that I haven't seen for a long time, cos If ever there was a place, this was it. It was like the inside of a club on Young street for these few days, except it was the streets, which to me was even better, more breathing space and no cover charge to get in.

I knew my cousin wasn't the type to roam the street all night, like I was(occasionally), so after bar hopping and getting even more inebriated with him, Johnny, his girlfriend and some other friends, I was fortunate to come across some friends from my high school days, but this wasn't before I exited the bar my cousin and our friends were in to get some fresh air, cause I was "fcuked up"

This was when I saw a stampede of people running, jumping over things, bottles smashing against the wall or concrete and people screaming like shots were fired running towards me. I swear this shit happens every year, the f..ked up part is that nobody really knows why they are running, just following the crowd. Stupid F..ks!

When they got closer I ran (well walked) inside the bar casually, I sat in the corner away from the windows where my cousin and friends were. They saw the crowd and started laughing saying I ran cause I was scared. I didn't run yawl
Like if I got shot they would pay my hospital bill. Hiss

Moments later I went back outside and that's when I saw my 2 two friends accompanied by their older bother and a entourage of people.
These dudes were rolling "Deep" 3 cars and about 7 dudes in total, so I left my cousin, he was preoccupied anyways, My night took a turn for the better, or so I thought.

Rolling with these dude was more fun because, It wasn't any girls amounts us, we covered more ground, saw and hollered at more babes. We also came across some more dudes we knew from high school: Kai and Marcus. Kai was rowdy as usual. I didn't approve of this, but it was funny

Me and my new found entourage were all leaned up against some store front, checking out all the babes, going up and down the street. Kai had to slap one girl on the ass because she was acting too uptight with the fellows. She stopped and "mean mugged" him for a while, Kai stood his place and grilled her right back. Before she walked off, I complimented her by saying: You look good, what you expect? Okay, so maybe I was a little inebriated, sorry ladies.

We hollered at so many girls yawl, it would be impossible to recall all the moments with each, we didn't even realise that the night was turning into morning, It all happened so far

When the sun Rose and the crowd died out, I hopped in my friend's bothers car to head home. After leaving the scene, this dudes car over-streamed. WTF?
And him bothers cars are now gone through the green lights , full speed ahead
I never thought about this at the moment but, what a good thing this didn't happen while trying to pick up babes on the streets. Can you imagine? lol

We had to buy bottles of water to fill up the radiator(which you aint supposed to do), 4 liters wasn't enough because something was leaking on the car. Moments later I noticed smoke coming from the radiator
(somebody say a little prayer for me, I could have died like OWNB but only from smoke inhalation, not from a cut and a stiff neck)
so we had to stop at a next store and get more water and that's when I saw a next friend from high school:

Delon, high school drop out, turned Hustler, always laughing, so I couldn't tell if he was laughing because he was happy to see me or at my situation or if it was because He never changed, It was good seeing him though, its been a long time

We got to a gas station before the car needed more water again, I never told the dude driving the car this but,
I think he needs to sell he car and buy a new radiator. lol

At this point the sun is up and we were getting closer to home, still far but closer.
Then I made the best decision of my life, It finally occurred to me to call and find out, where my cousin was.

Turns out he wasn't too far, he was actually 15 minutes behind us, on the all night bus just on his way home . I told the dude driving I was gonna take the bus. He said: Good, cause his car couldn'tbe able to mission to my part of town. I said: I know

Would you believe? I stood at the same place by the gas station's closest bus stop, boarded the bus and 4 hours later there was my cousin on the same bus. talk about
Devine intervention. lol
We got back to his place at around 7 O'clock in the morning on Sunday. Carlos shows up at 1 o'clock to find out what our night was like... everything else is a whole Nada story.

Not My Best Caribana weekend
But it was live
