Tuesday!

So I had to go to a Community Meeting with my dad, that place is weak chicks and dudes! It was only around 15 persons in that room. Ive lived in this community for about seven years and it has never been that good. It is filled with Hispanics and Blacks, and living in this time, you know there will be damn wannabe gangsters. So with that said, the "hood" is filled with teenagers trying to follow the examples shown to them by the TV. We have dumb asses tagging up fences, fucking up the lights, your typical teenage vandalism. There is, however, a small amount of white families who have lived here since the 70s which is around the time the community was new. These white individuals are the ones still fighting to keep our neighborhood clean and safe for their children and others. So as I was in there with my dad, translating in Spanish,  I noticed lots of things about these persons concerned about their neighborhood. Many of the people that attend such meetings are retired folks who still believe that people have good will, they are "old-timers" in the sense. I'm thinking, "man these people are fighting for something lost" but you know what? I think they are trying to rescue what seems lost, but is not lost at all. I think that with Communication and Education they can get through these Knuckle Heads who have nothing else to do.
