Manchan and Mafia
Manchan and Mafia
This blog is dedicated to my new found Manchan’s…. Thank you for being my friend!
It is a rare occurrence in this day and age when you can take all the obstacles and differences in people and throw them out the window, and to have a chance to come together and forget about what society has deemed “cool” and just have a good time. No going out to the bars, no crusin down the street, nor hanging out with a particular click.
Mafia was the stage, and my new found manchan’s were the actors that made it possible. Friday night, a bunch of different people came over to play a simple game called mafia. The unique feature about the game mafia is that you only need people to play it. No board or video game, just people being able to open up and have a good time. This is what I was blessed with this night. I had the chance to forget about everything around me; to forget about the assignments due, to forget about my job search process, and forget about what will be going on next week. In the game, just as it should be in real life, there were no sides being picked, or grudges held for what happened. It didn’t matter what country you were from, nor the color of your skin. In the game, you were chosen the path, citizen or mafia. There was unspoken loyalty to the side you were on, and unfortunately, much like life, there was deception (mafia).
On a Friday night, I had guests in my home that live thousands of miles apart, but we came together and form a Manchan.
p.s. Mafia will be held the week after finals!
