Ghanaians - where you at?!!!
Yeah, that is the closest spelling I have to it, especially using western character, you know, I cant find the 'oh'... WHERE ARE YOU??!! My world cup experience starts TODAY, Ghana v Italy (yeah, I have had an eye on England too, but Ghana is my team, really, for a variety of reasons, which I wont go into today...) I live in NYC, so I feel like a minority anyway, as very few people really understand the significance of the World Cup, so I am dying here! I live pretty close to a large Ghanaian community, but the fact is, Ghanaians - West African's dont usually go out to bars to eat and drink - so I DUNNO where I can watch the match with other Ghanaians - short of travelling all the way to the BRONX! I cant be doing that. I love my fam, but that is a long-ass way to travel... So, I am copping out, and watching the match, with some friends at a West African bar in Brooklyn. Yes Brooklyn. We all decided that we couldnt go to a bar filled with Italians. That would have been bad, and as my friend told me, he wasnt sure if he could count on me to to the business if he got in a fight (little does he know hahaha - joking...). So Brooklyn it is. But come on!! WHERE ARE THE GHANAIANS AT?! Lemme know for next time. And Good luck to Ghana today....
