From the heart

Four black teens in Philadelphia with nothing other than weekly tranpasses and opinions. Still, the criticism and general interpretation seem to change from day to day regardless of aforementioned teens consistency.

Whatever. We're not doing anyone some terrible injustice, and we don't claim to be changing the world or enlightening the folk beyond belief or recognition. Credences, food for thought, images, a few laughs here and there, and opinions are all that we can offer you. Whether you choose to accept or decline, you are here, as are we, daily.

To face the rain or sunshine, parade or riot, cookout or Saturday detention..We ride Septa.

2008

With the new year approaching,hopefully some things will get left behind.

Here's a few

1.Shutter shades (as well as wearing sunglasses inside)

2.Kaffiyeh scarves (Since no one seems to understand that it symbolizes solidarity..in Palestine)

3.Nike 6.0's.

4.Terms like "Pr0lli (insert verb or adjective here)" as headlines and display names

5.Madeup names on Facebook, (Eg: Harold I'mnotcleverfordoingthis Jones)

6.Heavy duty snowboots in 50 degree weather (Can you see my issue with this..)

7.Youtube arguments (aka soulja boy and Ice T)

8.Ms.Flaxman (bitch bitch bitch)

9.The word bitch except when restricted (SOLELY) to bitches

10.Lil Wayne (....)

11.Fake tiffany sb's (269,get it together.)

12.Songs about whisking women away from their ordinary jobs to spend money on them,and take them on vacations (Only because this contradicts 99% of songs rappers make about having 50 some women.Not everyone would enjoy themselves on THAT vacation)

13.Ralph Lauren polo caps (This goes without saying)

14.McCain campaign signs (Not that it matters anymore)

15.Sunflower seeds beneath my feet on el autobus (we sure as hell ride septa)

16.The "My dick" song (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=413639167)

17.George W. Bush. (I'll be at the inauguration/Ball by the way)

18.Fluctuating gas prices (I don't even drive, but gas prices effect EVERYTHING)

19.Sea gulls and pigeons (The whole, "haha.Hey,I steal your food." gets old after you turn eight)

20.Spam (On yo myspaCe,!n y0 mailbox, up in ya facebookz,etc)

21.College applications.

22.Wall Street needing its ass saved (GET IT TOGETHER)

23.Customers intterupting anything that I happen to be doing (Personal issue.)

24.Nike acg's.

The list could go on and on.Fortunately for you #23 has me falling asleep at the keyboard.

Here's to the New year.

hmm...

2. yes! i was about to give in to this fad, but i found out they were religious. i definitely needed something to keep me away from those. and i've heard different names for it; are they kaffiyehs or shemaghs?!

11. someone in 269 was rocking a pair? i remember hearing a 271 kid doing that this year.

13. "ralph lauren was boring until i wore em..." LOOK WHAT HAPPENED

3 and 24. i actually like these because they separate the GR kids from the real heads... call me selfish, i don't care. i'd like to be different than the people these days who like shoes just because "them jawns exclusive"

good post nya, see you in school
