the city
Monday. 9.20.04 5:11 pm
I love the city. Just driving home from work i saw little kids throwing a football through a basketball hoop, a 'gang' of 12 year olds sittin on a stoop like they're 25, a real fat broad with a 'hottie' shirt, multiple cars on cement blocks, 2 tire boots (when the city is about to repo your car) crackheads, whores, and like 4 kids chasing a dog.

Its great. people toss around the term porch monkey, but you know what rocks? comin home from a long days work, gettin some food and a drink, and just chillin on the porch. theres always somethin interesting goin on. either its little kids chasing a bum, or a stray dog is just walkin minding his own business and everyones jumping on the rooves of cars, or theres one broad up the street yelling at another lady down the street. and not yelling AT her, they're just having a conversation 10 houses apart. yes thats why theres phones, but why use those when all of market st. can hear what jamillas boyfriend did this time.

i always get made fun of for being like the only white person around. which sucks when it comes to the ladies. not that i wouldnt date a black girl but around here, what are we gonna talk about? "shit that nigga got locked up again" ... "thats cool, did you se slipknots new video?" its always funny. i have more black friends than white but its always weird talking to a girl from 'the hood' and i hate saying that or being asked about it. white people should never say the hood. i do live in the ghetto. i think ghetto just means a dirty place and that is here. but you could say hood because a few weeks ago someone definately got shot in the back of the head on their porch 6 houses up the street.

but youll have this. and it wasnt random violence, it was two friends over moeny or somethin like that. people always ask if im scared livin here, and i say no because usually no one starts crap for nothing. its either because they know you and theres some kind of drama between you 2, or they think you have something they want. for instance, if you have a bunch of jewelry it looks like you have money so someone may want to steal it. or if youre some big tough lookin mother fucker someone may start a fight just to prove to their friends that they can beat you. i look poor as hell and no one will get any respect from kicking my ass so i usually dont get hassled. some poeple say things just do get under your skin but its all about how you handle it.

i cant count the number of times i walked to new york fried chicken (yes us white people love it too) and someone for the hell of it will say 'hey whiteboy, you crazy' and i can run away scared, or get all pissed off and say something dumb. or i can laugh and say something funny back and theyll laugh and its not a situation. just a crackhead talkin to crackheads. thats how i got through school. everyone out of the city thinks my schools were all fighting and nothin else. and yeah there were a shit load of fights, but never random. it was always because of someone doing something done. sure people push but you have to push back without being extreme. ill walk down the hall, some guy says 'hey white boy, you know i fucked ya mom right?' and ill say 'thats cool, at least my mom has a job' and itll be funny. then hell laugh and say 'whiteboy you crazy' and nothing comes of it. its all about how you handle yourself. i never walked around like 'oh im gonna kick everyones ass' but i also didnt walk around like 'oh please dont kick my ass'

i would just walk down the hall mindin my own business doing what i would do. its hard to imagine that me in a school of 3000 black kids got through by just being myself. but its how it happened. i would wear my hat and listen to my headphones and skip class because its what i felt like doing. and id get in as much trouble as everyone else and so in my own way i was like everyone else. of course i got picked on. i wore korn shirts to a school and i was one of like 5 white kids. they werent used to that so theyd poke fun. and id poke fun right back without being retarded and thats how i made alot of my friends. everyone gets picked on somehow but its all about how you handle yourself. if you run and cry, then thats the kind of person you are, and everyone will treat you like that. if you think youre all bad ass and you can beat everyone up, then everyone will beat the shit out of you to prove you wrong.

school is the best example of the natural instinct for gaining power. thats why theres so many bullies. if someone can scare you, then they are getting power and will continue to do so. and you want power, the power to override that bully but you cant. and thats just part of survival of the fittest. everyone cant have power, or else there would be no such thing as power. balance mofos. so i guess you have to compromise and make a descision. either youre a fighter or youre not. or you take some alternate route. i had the power of wit and easy goingness so i didnt have bullies, and i was not a bully. so i think if everyone discovers what they have power in, find their strengths, then theyll get by the way they were meant to get by. but if you dont accept who you are than you can deny what your powers are. so denying yourself can make you weak. if i wasnt as white as i am in school, i would have gotten the shit kicked out of me. so many wiggers showed up, then got beat down trying to be black and their life was shit. i was just myself, although i was still discovering at that age who i was, but i got by just being, myself. i know it sounds like an afterschool special but its been my experience and i believe it

naturally it wasnt easy but life isnt. there is no easy way. you can make it easier though. if youre in a bad situation there probably something you can do to fix it. if you are living happily, then theres work you need to do to keep living that way. nothings free, so i disagree that the best things in life are free. the best things you have, you earned. through struggle and hard work. but that is what defines us. you have to work to get the things you want. if you dont want much, then you dont have to sweat much. if you want the world, you have to take on a world of work. the sooner people realize that you have to earn the things you want, the sooner streets will clean up, and thered be less jealousy and greed and all that. everyone wants the easy way. one day diets and crap. run, eat better, sacrifice to get that goal. life is balance. you sit at the center point. if you want to put something on the scale in the positive direction (losing weight) you need something on the other side (excercise, diet, resisting temptations) and if you succeed, then you get your goal and come out a stronger person. i dont know why people are so afraid of hard work. people smoke crack

Yeah, I don't really think the best things are free because it always feels so much better to work through hardships/whatever to earn what you want.
