The road was long and endless... the road I was hitchhiking on offered very little. I was hitching back to college after a visit back home to the folks for the summer. I caught a ride with these two dudes in a van headed South who were smoking dope. They asked me to roll them one, and handed me their stuff... I rolled them one. I politely refused a toke... I was abstaining at the time. They said they were headed to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. I was not headed there... I was headed to college. But somehow I found myself in New Orleans anyway two days later at the Mardi Gras. It was a parade...
Moral of the story... do not parade, stay on your path
