fake thugs

With the gang situation I think its all getting out of hand like with Bloods and Crips. It was all supose to be about getting money in a not good matter because of the drugs involved. It also was because the hispanics were trying to opress the black and no body would do anything about it. The hispanic were like the first with the drugs from over seas and whatever. Then bloods evolved into a huge deal I could really say why or how crips got involved but im pretty sure it was then when the bloods took over they made an impact cause the people who was left and didn't wanna follow the bloods to erupt. Know its all gotten out of hand bloods killing bloods because of jealousy and just plain cowardness. I hate when people who never got a look as a regular person become blood or "Bum home" as they call it and all of a sudden they're the toughest guys, it funny to me.
" The Trenton makes bridge" its actually reads "Trenton makes the world takes" its a bridge outside of the city I was born and raised in that streches across the river that goes along the south coast of Trenton(The Delaware river). It goes from Trenton into Morrisville Pennsylvania. I heard A lot of factories used to be in Trento and they used to make a lot of different thing like steel and other things, and thats what they ment by "Trenton makes the world takes".

Cedric's position

I really think Cedrics life is so common it just so happens he got a chance to get his life published. I think everyone was put it certain situations because the lord him self believes they can over come any obsticle they are placed in front of. I think He shouldn't have recieved any additional help then the help he already had unless he just got lucky or entered a contest or something similar. I do believe he could have been less fortunate than others that surrounded him but there had to be some benefits if he was to explore he could see. I notice everyone around Montclair who came from a hard environment like to talk about it consistantly to others. I always wondered if everyone is always looking for a hand out or for someone to feel bad for them. But then I realized after watching different entertainment shows and listening to music everyone wants to be the tough guy and say how they could grow up in the "hood" and say they are hood so others would think of them as the cool type its funny to me sometimes. Just because you grow up in the hood it does mean your hood. I could be wrong but to me it seemed to me cedric tried to play that role.

Ma "Earff"(Mom)

Another fourth of my inspiration is my mom, man a single mother of six, who keep the house laid out and everybody fresh along and everybody's belly on full. I have a feeling there is no other mother in the world who would sacrifice as much as she did. I really believe she would go over board to provide for her children. I mean I just wish I was never the little hard head I was. I really gave her a hard time when I was younger. Then I realized the route I wanted to take so I left my old ways to become a better person for me, her and others.

Ma Grandma


One fourth of my inspiration would have to be ma grandma. I basically grew up with her, she one of the meanest indivisuals in the world according to everyone who knows her. I agree she is real mean but its like something about her and me that just click. Everyone in the family know im like her favorite grand child. If I wasnt at my house I was at hers. We went every where together traveled down south all the time. She is also a diabetic and its kind of haretitary. One night I almost gave up on life when I was at her house and she was having a stroke and I didn't know what to do, so I had to calm down and I called the emergency room to send the paramedics. I called half of my family to let them know what was happening and they all tryed to make it a big deal like I saved her life. I just looked at it as a oportunity to do for her what she was doin for me all my life and thats just be there.

Boring

The only suprise about my college experience is how boring the weekends are. Everyone goes home for the weekend and everything is left empty and boring. During the first couple weeks here I would stay here and look for something to get into. Then I realized it was impossible because the school was empty. So now every weekend I take it home as well but sometimes it still be boring because everyone is either working at home or at school. So i'm just confused about the situation I don't know if I should stay here or go home because the out come would be the same.

Steelers grass

The Pittsburgh Steelers "the best team ever" is like one of three teams in the NFL whose home field is still natural grass. When it rained before games it would be in horrible conditions. One time it was so horrible that the ball got stuck in the grass. Our starting RB didn't fumble all season until this game where he put the ball on the ground three times. The trainers and players all suguested it was the best dicision because it was safer injury wise.
