the university of delaware was the forum for the madness that would proceed for the homeboy kane's 21st. 21st birthdays are amazing times because the world seems to stop rotating for a few hours to allow unforgettable happenings. i rode out with steve, martin and tommy...josh drove up from towson...dre and kane were already in place at udel. it was a saturday afternoon and you couldn't pick much better weather if you wanted to. udel is a strange little place because it is sort of in-the-middle-of-nowhere, newark, delaware. once you're there, though, you realize that the university and it's attendees are completely oblivious of this and they live life like they are in the middle of the city or something. once the proper setting was locked in, we knew that this average saturday would not be average for long.
for those that don't know, the university of delaware goes hard...period. they could justly make there own rendition of the well-known m.i.a. tune and sing "udel we go hard." dre and kane have always preeched this and i've experienced it a few times...this past weekend was definitely one of them. we met some of kane and dre's best boys at school, some of the females that heavily enjoy their presence, kane's lovely girlyfriend [who's nothing short of dope], and other people who have traveled the road called college with them. it's interesting to meet the people in their life that they always kick it with as we are their best friends from home...a different breed than best friends at school. sharing a similar experience like college is one thing, but 10+ years of life experiences is another. regardless, i knew my friend's friends would be good peoples. comparatively speaking, the events that happened this past saturday afternoon at udel for no special occasion were similar to those of rutgersfest here in new brunswick...a backyard with 300+ heads and a hundred of them on the roof of the house at any given time. madness i tell you...sheer madness. the best i can do is let the following photos give you a little glimpse of what went down on this fine day...
i don't know why but i like the way these photos look with some desaturation so they might appear kind of dull...
grand times to say the least. a lot of the events the proceeded were unspeakable but they are definitely times i will never forget. kane was the last of the hometown blokes to turn 21...it's kind of surreal as he has been like a little brother to all of us for many years now. he's in the grade below the rest of us and i remember choppin' it up in the halls with him as far back as 5th grade in hillcrest elementary school. he's the youngin' but he's nowhere near the runt of the litter. i respect him...i love him...and i'm glad we no longer have to leave him behind when we go to the bar.
welcome to the club, sir...glad to have you.
