Bambi

But when it works, he said, Its a surge of energy you cant touch. On Mothers Day, Diane Davis pulled out pictures and all of her sons cards. He never missed sending her one, she said, even from the war. He was in Iraq, and he came home safe, she said, and he lost his life in the street. Patricia Hill also re-reads the cards her son gave her. He left her with a few last written words: Love ya, Ma. UR Baby, Fufu.

WATERS Jr Hi 1970s Guys sat in the school cafeteria and milled around their lockers in clusters, waiting for people to walk by so they could make fun of their looks and dress. It was a widely practiced art bambi called jonin, a spin off from the older art of playing the dozens. Good jonin required a brutal wit, a sharp tongue, and a thick skin. It usually started with a challenge, an offhand comment about somebodys looks or clothes, followed by a retaliatory response. Once a jonin session got started, everybody crowded around, listened, and instigated to keep it going. Me-White, WIfe-African American Cherokee Indian-That being said, We as a mixed marriage couple laugh and yes, now cry for these two men! The culture itself leads to confrontation-Name changing is just one of our fiery conversations around the table! Why do most change thier street creds? Idiotic! Its a chance to be a star, to emulate what you see on TV Therein lies the problems and issues! Any person of color role models on prime than videos of gangs, thugs, and drugs? Anytime we hear or see younger kids, my wife and I shake our heads! We can see the anger and hear it in the words! Tragic! All kids want to be today is famous! Serious reality check is in order! its a nasty pastime by angry people who have no respect for anything. you try to make it sound like its poetry and hardly ever ends in violence. isnt that special. up is down. good is bad. bad is good. everything i say is a lie. im lying now. yup makes sense somewhere. Sometimes when I battle it get so bambi that its like you cant take that cut Not really its sad that some people get that upset the have to shoot it out to get respect back.
