yesterday, i was buying groceries in brooklyn chinatown with my mom and when we went to put the groceries in the car, lo and behold! a mister softee's ice cream truck! and that ice cream song was playing. when i used to live in brooklyn, that melody was summer's song and the ice cream was refreshingly delicious. i remember that i tried not to think about the rumor about the ice cream man and him not washing his hands after peeing. maybe it wasn't that delicious but it was just the childhood excitement of having ice cream before dinner that made it so so good. anyway, i really really wanted to get one but i was going to eat dinner soon so i made a responsible decision not to spoil my dinner. but yesterday was just one of those moments that nostalgia just happened to happen. i still kind of want one.
here is a picture of bay belt parkway in brooklyn. 
that tiny strip next to the roadway is where i used to bicycle, fly kites, fish, crab, and eat that mister softee ice cream.
summer 2008, please don't disappoint me
