My time as Green Man was nothing short of surreal. It was Dolphy Day at Le Moyne College in Syracuse New York, a day marking the beginning of Spring and the end of the semester. A day where campus is shut down and the entire student body gathers in the quad for an all day party.
The weather was beautiful and the campus quad was a buzz with friends and faculty alike. From Foery Hall I emerge as Green Man and no sooner than I see the light of day that Green Man is greeted with awe and a photo op. This is not unlike any Green Man experience as when you encounter Green Man, you can't help but feel an indescribable joy and happines and wish for a photo of the moment where you achieved nirvana because you know you will never feel the happiness Green Man gives you again.
But seriously my experience as Green Man was the best moment of my college experience and my only regret is I didn't have more oppertunities to be Green Man. As I am graduating this year I hope that someone else embraces Green Man for the years to come because everyone loves Green Man.
Green Man doesn't belong to you - or I - but to everyone. So Thank You for the opportunity to be Green Man of The Month. I hope everyone enjoys the video because it was a hell of a lot of fun doing it!
