yeah homie, and I got to come back just in time to watch our Chiefs self-destruct against the Ravens in the second half of their playoff game. That's how bad the Chiefs get when Jamal Charles is "banged up" and there were rumors that Haley and Wiess (your guy) relationship had soured a couple weeks prior.

Some photos from my first day in Senegal...
This was my hotel after arriving in Senegal. It was near the airport. In the picture with me is a girl I met on the plane, named Ebony. She is a fashion designer and has a clothing line, store in South Side Chicago. She got a contract from one of the Afro-Centric Charter schools there to actually go to Senegal and have tailors in Senegal make their school uniforms. I thought this was a nice idea, because you have Afro-centric charter schools all over America with dress codes and the kids are wearing blue pants and white t-shirts. It makes sense if you are going to have an Afro-centric charter school that their dress code should reflect an African style and that it should come from African tailors in Africa.
This girl and I hit it off on the plane, and it was an 8 hour flight so we had a lot of time to talk and get to know each other. I knew my friend would really like her, and after I got off the plane we helped her with her bags, and got a cab, and helped her get set up in the hotel with us. Another guy in the picture is Ali, who was like her business partner in Senegal, he is a local Senegalese, and he lives in a big, unfinished apartment building that is all cement and still just under construction. Basically, I think he just pays them something when they aren't building and he made a nice room on one of the upper levels, has all nice stuff in there and even an ocean view. He was the man in Senegal and he took care of anything we needed when we were there.
This is a key monument in Senegal and it has caused a great deal of controversy. One reason is that the statue was extremely expensive and the people felt like the President Abdul-Wade was misappropriating funds for this statue that could of gone to much more worthy projects within Senegal, such as sewage cleanup which spills over at times in some parts of the capital city. Also, the picture displays a bare-chested woman, so since Senegal is a Muslim country, they felt that the woman's image should be more modest then that. I'll show a few more pics of the statue later, basically it is a Man holding a woman and a child, with the young child pointing forward and towards the sky, to symbolize African strength and a bright future.
This is a pic of the African history museum that is inside the statue, as you can see there are images and of great African leaders like Hallie Sallasie-I, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Nelson Mandela and so on.
Like the Empire State Building in America, you can also take an elevator to the top of this statue, and from there you can look out and see the capital city of Dakkar. Unfortunately m;y camera couldn't capture a good image of the skyline/view from atop.
