memories,
I grew up in southpark but went to high school in Alief (elsik) when I had to move in with my mom, and was just

at the level of perpetrating by the nikkas there. It was a culture shock to see kids who came from decent homes with non crack head parents trying so hard to be "gang affiliated/d boys" (GD's BD's etc...) just for the hell of it. It was some cool peeps there though. I just didn't understand why for the life of me would you choose to try to live that way when you don't have to.
I came from an area where my best friends were forced to sell crack in the 5 grade by their scumbag parents, but you had these suburban kids pretending to be king pins for selling a couple of dime bags a week.
Still though the people were pretty much cool. the only "goons" were on spice lane and club creek though.
