summertime warriors...

here they come...slowly but surely it was only a matter of time. the weather begins to change for the best. summer is around the corner and every kid with a bike comes out to play. they come in with a huge smile and upbeat...how come they come in during the sunny days? remember the broken record days? well, where was everyone during those days? only a few cats were around to help with the work load. now it's getting warmer and little by little they come in to take a crack at being a messenger. bless their heart...they come because it's a gig they can take up while not in school. they come because they've seen and heard many stories. some stick around and fall in love with it but many, and i do mean MANY...leave. i can't forget those that see many come and go. im convinced that messengers are very stand-offish because of the high turnover rate. why make friends with someone who is just gonna be around for a couple of months? they come but i don't give a damn...they have to prove to me they are worthy of being a messenger. these are the days that i have to remember all those that were around the 5 degree weather, 9 inches of snow, and 50 mph winds. i won't forget them...i do have to "spread the love" but i can't forget those that were around hustling to make a dollar. don't worry fellas...i'll "spread the love" but my true soldiers get the bulk of the love...peace.
