rat stampede

So after the roof party rainout I attended in Harlem last Sunday, I decided to take advantage of the cooler weather and talk on my cell phone outside on our grassy knoll. It was kind of nice; I brought my towel out, there was some Dominican music playing, and I was just chillin'. Well, at least for a while...

Do you guys remember that scene in the Lion King? You know, when the wildebeasts come charging in a giant herd and crush poor little Simba. Yeah, well all of a sudden these two rats came racing right at me, and I swear they really looked like those wildebeasts. It scared me quite a bit. One got so close it ran across my towel and was about an inch away from me. Gotta love urban wildlife. I think I'd rather have pigeons around...
