harlem to sri lanka

Recently I helped out Habitat for Humanity up in Harlem on 129th and St. Nicholas. Not far from Sylvia's (which I hear has really taken a dive since the kids started running the show). If you don't know anything about Habitat it's a non-profit that builds affordable housing for those in need of it, and I really like their cause and the way they go about it. This particular event I didn't get to help out in the construction of the apartment building that Habitat was building out, but was put to work in St. Nicholas park mulching a nature trail. It was hot as hell, and hard work, but I dig that kind of thing. It was hard to get myself up at 7am on a Saturday to do it though, especially when you have friends calling you from the LIE on the way to cocktails and the ocean. I got a text message from a friend when I was waking up to go that said: 104 hard labor in harlem - sell 80 southampton chillin - buy The point of all this is that I just found out that I was selected to go on a trip to Sri Lanka to help building homes for people affected by the Tsunami. The trip sounds incredible. Redfaced, and workin hard brah.
