This was probably, moment-for-moment, minute-for-minute, the craziest and tightest experience ever. I hope I could describe all these things but so much of it WILL be left out because each hour was so incredible that there isn't a way to say how much went on. It started out just getting set up. I went and met with the Lambert Media Company, who are people that have became friends on my honor (and visa versa). Then there after, I found out it was about to begin at noon so I went and grabbed some FOOD. I came back for the beginning. And man... It was On! There was a man who was on the stage giving a really cool opening speech on the beach to the people ready to party they asses off. It was the St. Thomas Chili Cook Off (Which is a fund-raiser). Probably one of the funnest times of the year. All kinds of drinks, people swimmin' in gorgeous weather and hot aqua water.
As it began, the man to the stage gave an honorable introduction to the Governor. And the Governor came to the Microphone to speak about his culture, people, and the feel-good aspect of bein' in the Caribbean. The weather, the drinks, the peaceful people who were here to have a blast. It was badass. I recorded the whole thing.
The Governor ended up meeting me. I was in front of the UVI booth and he came up right beside and shook my hand. The Governor of the Virgin Islands!! He asked who I was and what I do. I told him where I'm from and why I'm here. He spoke with me for a good amount of minutes and moments. Then he shook my hand and took pictures with me and acknowledged that he was happy I was here. I was thrilled.
And after was when things started to get crazy and go ape-shit. I met Justin and Brandy. They are two of my friends in Florida who I met here in St. Thomas that found out who I was when me and Celestino made Tha Projex at Duffy's Love Shack and Saint Lounge, the two clubs where the UVI club night was happenin' at. They were stoked and immediately gave me awesome hospitality. They had several bottles and so I had hella unlimited free drinks with a buncha CRUM RUM. So this was how it all began man. And it wasn't even an hour into it at all.
I met so many islanders that really liked me a lot. I left my newest shirt that
Nina bought me and got me at 7 Feathers in the valley. And my camera, IPOD, Watch, and Sandles, I got to keep them at The Media Company where my friends from Lambert booth were. I got on with the drinks, the beard, the bandanna, and the scar and tattoo everyone kept asking me about.
I met a really cool cat, an Islander named Jack. He was rosta. And when he saw me, he smiled, shook me props, laughed and was like, "Man, you MUCHO MAAN RANDY SAAVAAAGE!! You hear that all the time, huh?!" :) I was like, "Holy Shit maan, I've heard it ALL." We both started laughin' our asses off. I was blown away cuz when he said that, everyone else was like, "YEAH MAN!" So I took pictures and told him I wish I had Jerky, I'd get a picture with him when I'd Snap into a Slim Jim.'
Other people met me and asked how I almost died and what that was like. All I was wearin was shorts, so of course my scar and tat were every where I went. Justin and Brandy were two people who are 25 and 26. They both got their carreers created and here soon, they are gonna move to the Caribbean when they both graduate. A lot like Tyler and his girlfriend Katelyn have together right now. I plan to do the same thing too. Justin and Brandy were both so cool and comfortable with eachother. I could really tell that they were the best of friends with eachother. It was nothing to envy, I actually admired them. They are already in my 'Cruminal TV' channel through youtube, but I won't be able to produce all of these movies and uploads until later in life. They are already in touch with me from Florida and they'd come to the West Side and I'll go to Florida, even if it's by myself, depending on life later on. I've always loved travelin and I've accepted it as a part of my life now. Ultimately, it'd be ideal to share those adventures with a friend thats worth a lot of the same things. That's nothing I'd know though later on.
We were in the water and I was recording with the camera in one hand above the aqua and a drink in the other and I'm like ,"Justin, Speak some truth bro, tell us what it is" :)
He says, "A place like this... It changes your soul bro. You come back from the states, you come here, you live here, you become more patient. You'll be more resourceful. You wake up on a Saturday morning and you say 'Lets go to Platform Beach' you don't say 'Lets watch re-runs a cartoons, you say, 'Lets go, Lets go... To the BEACH."
"UH-HAHAH, HAHAHAH.. HEHEHE."
(I Busted Up in the Aqua, I swear to God - This is gonna get uploaded in youtube fast.)
Justin continues, "Thats what it is, it's Paradise, man. You don't turn from that."
"Hey, give me some of that Leo love Homeboy!"
Justin Says, "Absolutely" :)
