Guardian Angels...

If the Gaurdian Angels are still recruiting in Philly...check Craigs List under "Volunteers" if interested....I am thinking about joining if they will have me!

Neighbors From Hell...Hell Is For Children...

I came out of my house the other day to find a woman screaming at her under 7 year old child sitting on the end of the curb...she asked if I would give her cash for a personal check...complaining of not having money for this poor childs medicine or some other bullshit. I asked if she lived here (meaning on our street) She said yes but I did not believe her till I saw this kid playing down the block and believe me he is pissed and miserable! Should I call Social Services on this bitch or what? It's such a damn shame...or as they say in South Philly, "It's A Sin..."

Just Me And The Crackheads...

Another severe, hot as balls day in the City Of Brotherly Shove...anybody in their right mind would not be out here sizzlin' like an egg in a frying pan...this is your brain....this is your brain on drugs in Philly...

Get The F*#k Outta Dodge...

I must admit I have a love/hate relationship with Philly.
Latley, the two polar emotions are duking it out around the raw wound that once was my heart. The crime, blight, lack of fashion sense and ghetto attitudes are putting a real hornets nest in my bonnet! As if just FILTH alone isn't enough!
I used to think it was just my up and coming mid-life crisis but everything here is stale,stagnet and has the ambiance of a graveyard.
Nobody ever challenges the status quo(This ain't NYC! Art, Fashion, and Culture as well as artists themselves truly suffer in Philly! We can afford to be here to do just that!)
My next question...why does almost everyone I know who leaves here to live in another city come crawling back? Perhaps they realize it costs too much to live in a less hateful place...or they just love the familar...it isn't hard to be top dog in this kennel of rabid pitbulls!

Philly Weekly ...

Please read Kia Gregorys' excellent article about gun violence in our city...it highlights the awesome Scott Charles, Temple Universitys Trauma Outreach Coordinator and the Cradle to Grave Program at Temple University Hospital.This article highlights the recent statistic that it is more dangerous to be a young black male in philly then a soldier in Iraq! It is a well writen, mindful piece that does not pretend to have the answer.

Trouble On The Block...

It has been brought to my attention recently that there is small time riff-raff on our block airing dirty laundry. Two low-lifes came around to collect money owed by the fat-boy resident. They caused a big rukus arguing loudly and scaring elderly residents in broad daylight. Their stupid friend has a skateboard with a gas tank hooked up to it that is loud as shit and stalls constantly. If these losers think I won't call the cops on thir dumb asses they are WRONG. I am not afraid of their pathetic gangster wanna be ways...
