pepsi!

oh man, i finally had my first pepsi in like... 2 months!

its a big deal here, and if you dont know why, its because the coca cola headquarters is located right here in atlanta. well, to be precise, its right next to georgia tech. and when i mean right next to, it literally is right next to us. you walk anywhere in the campus, you'll see the lone coca cola building standing above the tech buildings surrounding you.

so you can imagine, the influence of coke is so strong, pepsi is like a banned substance here.

i had team buzz today, which is like a campuswide community service event. i initially signed up to referee soccer matches for elementary school kids, only to find out later that its actually flag football (american football, but like touch rugby) for middle/high school students.

but it went fine, it wasnt that hard, i was handling the downs indicator, and it turned out to be pretty fun. almost everyone there was african americans and they were so funny talking about certain plays and all, it was just hilarious to be there. it has gotta be the most fun community service ive ever been involved in.

yea, so at the end, we came back to the campus, coz they provided food (well, pizzas. and tons of it) and i was looking for drinks, and guess what i found.

yes, pepsi and diet pepsi.

my first reaction was whether i was gonna get arrested for taking that. or be beaten up. but apparantly not. i sat down with some of the delta sig guys and the first thign they said was, wat the hell's that pepsi doin here?

i had too much coke, i couldnt taste the difference. thats how much coke has corrupted my desire for pepsi. maybe its still diet pepsi that's why. i took a can of pepsi along while having a diet pepsi in one hand and left the place.

im just gonna sip it slowly and enjoy it while i can. i dont know the next time im having a pepsi. hell, even the taco bell and kfc which usually provides pepsi aint serving pepsi here in atlanta.
