Crazy As Usual

With starting up a new school, I am busy as ever. I can't even find time to sit down and relax (notice I am writing this at midnight!). I have had a chance to travel a little bit. I went to see some family in the Bay and then some peoples in New Orleans. All while my girlfriend is in Cuba for two weeks! Anyway, here is a quick breakdown of the highlights. 
  • Went to the Bay and celebrate my 4 year anniversary with my girlfriend (soon to be wifey!) 
  • Went to New Orleans - the people have severe post-traumatic stress syndrome - They are struggling, but have a beautiful and proud culture
  • Came back to helicopters and arrests across the street. They are doing major sweeps across the area - These sweeps do absolutely nothing. 
  • Another young Black man was shot by the cops in Inglewood and then another in Compton while I was gone. 
  • On the positive, our school is coming together. I will post up our logo later. 
  • At Locke, I was banged on by some South Los bangers. South Los is a Latino gang in the area - I am racially mixed and will often be perceived as many different ethnicities - including Latino. 
  • I have so much work to do it is not even funny. I guess I should get to it.
