The Mysterious Book!

The gold colored vehicle that I received for my birthday looks like a mix between a helicoptor and a jet?

I receive a phone call and it's my friend Sarah Lawrence letting me know that the Afton Apple Orchard outing is canceled today, due to rain. I am bummed, but on the other end, I am saving roughly $9 bucks, which I will probably spend on SOBE Energy drinks anyway? Yup, I am addicted to the stuff!

As I pop open a cold refreshing SOBE Enery drink, I open the passenger side door and find a book on the passenger seat! It looks like an ancient book, but in amazing new condition, and smells like it just came off the printing press! This book is also gold colored, and measures roughly 8 1/2" in height, 11" in wideth and about 3 inches thick! It is beautifully decorated!

I am not ready to step inside this vehicle just yet, but I am interested in reading this book. With plans canceled, I can spend plenty of time with this mysterious book. I open it, and to my surprise, I can't read it!!! It looks like a mix of chinese and greek alphabet! It doesn't help that I only know two languages! Good english and bad english, and I am very fluent at bad english!

As I am trying to understand the book in my garage, I hear booming rap music nearby, and then the text starts to become somewhat clear, but it starts off as "Yo Homeboy"! Since when does a book start off as "Yo Homeboy", unless of course it is "Snoop Dogg's" memoirs! The book is worded in ebonics, and I am having a tough time with this...then, as the music fades off, the book returns to its unreadable text.

I walk into my house with the book wide open, trying to see if I can distiquish any words, and I hear my roomie Lizzy playing his club-techno-industrial-gangster music again, and the book is suddenly full of all kind of obsenities! (Just a disclaimer for Lizzy! He listens to that music to better outreach to the troubled teens!)

I decide to page through the book and find pictures of the vehicle in it. Pictures of what looks like controls. Finally it hits me!!! It took awhile for my lightbulb in my head to come on, but I think I know how I can read this book! I turn on my radio and it was set on a jazz station! The book becomes clear, but it looks like it is written by "Barry White"!

Next time: Climbing on board!

Peace!
