Sunrise Over a Paper Route

The route may be routine, tiring, and annoying to the social life, but its times like these, when all the papers are folded and bagged and I take out the camera to snap a pic that makes me really appreciate the calmness of it all.

Check me out in my ghetto car. Notice the sagging lining. It is very classy.

Fresh Off the Boat!

That there is me on the right. Philly international airport.

That whole trip started when my mother decided enough was enough and she wasn't going to be apart from her family anymore. You see, my mother went abroad when we were young to support us.

She left when Mitchell(the one in the overalls) was barely old enough to walk. When she saw him again, he didn't know who she was. It was a long five years without a mother.

So she came back, vowwing never to leave again.

Then something happened. Nikki was conceived.

My mother, realizing that there's time left on her visa, returned to the States, with full intentions of having the baby here. It was the only way that her entire family could get approved for visas to move to the land of opportunity.

So that's us. Fresh off the boat. How lucky for you.

P.S. We have a new addition to ISSF. Great reads and such. Welcome to the fold, namflow.
