Two Kings



Today we honor two great men. These two influenced my collegiate life more so than most professors and as least as much as grilled cheese man. Who am I referring to? Barney and Santana of course. This dynamic duo were there for me weekday in and weekday out. Weekend trips on the shuttle weren't nearly as fun without them. Most of the time on the weekend was spent listening to jerkoffs explain just how inebriated they were the night prior. But weekdays were filled with informative rants about politics, current events, and culture from Santana. Barney, though he never spoke, certainly brought something to the table, although he had a much different approach than his peer. Barney was a calming influence, always there after a long day of classes. He was the buddha of University transportation. Santana was the yin to his yang, a fiery orator who would both enlighten and entertain his passengers. On this dreary Friday afternoon I'll be forced to drive my car, but it doesn't compare to having a gray bus pick up you five minutes late. Here's to you Barney and Santana. Your legacy lives on forever.
