ATLYMPICS

Let me begin by introducing my rather large, energetic friend Max or Maximus. He's everybody's pal, and Rico's wrestling partner. Max and Rico have a history of playing certain games and performing unique acts. In ATL we have a few Olympic-esque games such as Leg Wrestling, Pro-Finger Dagger, and Piggy Back Tower. Blood runs thick in the air as the Gladitor type games begin with a crowd surronding the center stage, seated and awaiting the action. Meanwhile, the King, who on this day happens to be Alton since it's his birthday, looks on awaiting the champion. It seems to me to always be a case of David vs. Goliath, and we know who plays each repesective role. It is really suprising how quickly Max can move for such a large person. Regardless or Rico's size, he's got enough heart to make up for it, and more times than not the event lingers on until there is a mutual respect gained, or one contestant happens to fall victim to the others wit. These events took place fairly often and there was always a certain light-hearted, joyous feeling that infected everyone. This is definitely one of the things I miss most about living in the dorms rather than the apartments. I had a thought today, I think that campus life revolves around that certain anytime, anywhere camradarie, which is easily facilitated by dorms and less so by apartments. Ah how Rome did fall...
