Cedric the Shady Entertainer

My summer apartment is on the corner the State and Arbor. It is equidistant from Bluefront and Campus Corner. We have the basement apartment of this big house and our door opens onto a large brick patio. So on Wednesday we had some friends over to grill out, play cornhole and drink some brews. When all of the sudden this large black guy comes over and asks us if he could sit on the porch and drink the 40's he just bought from Bluefront. 4 hours later were still chillin' with "ced" inside our apartment shooting the shit. He tells us about selling dope on Detroit's east side until the age of 27 and then deciding to go to Culinary Arts school at Washtenaw. We tell him about life in the 'burbs. Eventually we call it a night, and Cedric goes home. We all wonder if we will ever see Cedric again.

The next day were going to a party at our friends house and about 40 minutes after we get there Cedric shows up with some of his friends. The females that rent this house seem uneasy, but we just go up to Cedric and welcome him. And then another kid at the party sees him and goes "Oh shit, Cedric's here" and comes over to greet him. It looks like Ann Arbor has a new celebrity and he is a 29 year old culinary arts major at Washtenaw.
