XIB

On my way home today I saw these two "norteños" talking about how high and drunk they were last night and how they got in fights with the "sureños." Also they were talking about how they love the color red and how much they disliked the blue. Now you might think that I was being nosey, listening to other peoples conversation, but guess what I wasn't they where practically yelling at the top of their lungs each other even though they were sitting right across each other. And because of this I start questioning if they even knew why it is that they represent the colors that they do and why it is that they claim the numbers "14" and "13". What is strange about them is if it wasn't for the fact that they were really "hard core gangsters" or "cholos" they probably wouldn't have any friends almost like they'd be social outcasts. I wish I could right more about them but I'm afraid I might get jumped or something of that nature.

They are very interesting people if you really think about it.. .

It is extremely interesting, almost funny actually, how a pair of cheaply made nikes and a two dollar handkerchief can turn you into a cholo social butterfly. I just shrug it off, the graffiti and the hand signs and the macho attitude. I've been there too, not to the point of being in a gang, but trying to figure out who I am and what makes me feel like I belong somewhere. They'll come around, don't worry.

Wow craziest thing is I thought of the exact same thing today. Wrote along the girl's restroom door was " F SCRAPS." I shook my head in disappointment not only because I had to stare at such a unpleasant message but also because I feel so bad for the kind of people that spend every waking second hating other people by just a simple number or color. I don't understand why there is this whole other world within ours that needs to be based around two different groups hating on one another. I can't stand it. :(
