ECU Homecoming Review (2K10)

Wow, what a weekend! ECU has never let me down when it comes to creating and reflecting on monumental moments. This past weekend was no different. From B. Paiz's hilarious flashback moment at the Chop House to the "Hot Mess Dressed Girls" at the social functions. Let's not forget the die hard Pirate fans who painted themselves with household paint and passed out from 10 times the normal limit of liquor consumption. Classic ECU you've gotta love it!

Now you all know that I couldn't leave you with that blanket commentary without giving you my homecoming drill list.

My disclaimer as a journalist the below is all true.

Drill # 1 i'm sure you've all noticed by now that you have at least 10 new FB friend request since Saturday. i bet you only remember 3 of them. if we weren't cool in the 90's are we really gonna be FB friends in the 2000's? just food for thought.

Drill # 2 if you didn't speak to me 10 years ago and you know that you acted stank, am I suppose to give you a high 5 and a chest bump at the next homecoming because you had a sudden change of stankness? just food for thought.

Drill # 3 if somebody didn't recognize you because of the 30-70 pounds that you've gained please don't inbox them on FB and say you were acting funny, why didn't you speak? maybe you don't look the same... crickets. just food for thought.

Drill # 4 if you enrolled for a little while and didn't graduate from ECU and you still hold it down at all the social functions, I'M NOT MAD AT YOU! KEEP COMING! just food for thought.

Drill # 5 i think it's somethings in the water in Wilson! shout out to WIDE AWAKE! just food for thought.

Drill # 6 some are pushing mid to late 30's dental awareness has to be on the list, right? just food for thought.

Drill # 7 if you have 8 bad kids you will not get your old college boo back right? just food for thought.

Drill # 8 for all the greeks that showed up to any and every social function BIG SHOUT OUT for showing the youngins how to carry a classy weekend. we appreciate you for it. just food for thought.

Drill # 9 we are all to old to get to the party at 12 am now. for those that work you're normally asleep by then. i saw about 5 of you taking power naps. food for thought.

Drill # 10 forget drills 1-9 let's comeback and do it again! It was great seeing you all!

Below are a few of my fun moments from Homecoming 2K10.

The Measure of a Man.........

the details are below the photos it's a must read story for the men.... The title of this blog maybe familiar to some, it's that of the autobiography of actor Sidney Poitier.  When you mention his name the words courage, great, intelligent, daring, brilliant and faithful may come to mind.  I've got a new name that replaces those words, Von Johnson.   My friend. My brother.  My cousin.  My new HERO. How and what does that have to do with the title? Yesterday, I observed what it means to live the final portion of your wedding vows,  "till death do us part"...... I can't even put it into words how I felt yesterday.  The only word that comes close is "helpless".   It was one of the rare moments in life where you want to take someone else's pain and throw it down the river and start fresh. I learned what the measure of a man is all about.   Can you live on life's edge and handle all it dishes out?  Can you stand in the toughest moments of opposit...

A Day At Gus's

A Day At Gus's It's not everyday that we get to experience great food let alone a great atmosphere to eat in. I'm a southern guy so you know I like good food and even better service.  Gus's is that spot for me. I frequently sit down with the owner Gus and he doesn't hold back on his views of the world or on how to run a successful small business.  Following our last conversation I decided to return the favor by grabbing a few still photos of the original Gus's location.  It will be torn down soon.  Gus is being rewarded with a new location in 2008 for a job well done for 27 years of great service.  www.gusspizza.com

The Money Shot

The "Money Shot". It's not the type of shot where you look to get paid. It's the one that tells the largest story with the least amount of words. Today as I drove through Pen Lucy park, I saw this homeless lady at the stop light. I've driven through here daily for years and today was the first time I'd ever seen this lady. She was as worn as the soles of her shoes. She appeared to have the conscious mind of a 6 year old child. I only had about 20 seconds to capture the moment. It tends to be that way driving through the district where most of the show " The Wire " was filmed. Needless to say I was able to salvage what I referred to above as, " The Money Shot". After countless hours of studying the late great visual artist, Gordon Parks life stills, I've come to the conclusion that life stills are and should be timeless. They hold the frailties of life tight enough to crush them and soft enough to doctor them back to maximum h...
