OMG!!!

I heard the car speeding outside and I thought I was having a nightmare...I bolted upright and screamed ,"Oh My God!!", just as I heard an immediate thundering, monstorous CRASH!

I Encourage Comments From ALL ESPECIALLY South Philly

I really appreciate that some of you are acually reading this!!!My neighboorhood is going to hell in a hand basket! One comment reflected the racism inherent in our city...that this group or that group causes problems that sink our already sinking ship. Across the street and down my own street ALL the drug dealers are WHITE. Other races come and go...customers dealers enforcers etc., but the home owners are WHITE HONKIES!

Hit Da Floor!!!

I diligently read "The South Philly Review " every week and as far as crime in the city of brotherly shove goes their report is classic. Bottles used as weapons at bustops, teen muggers on bikes,rapists assaulting victims with weights, and various road rage incidents including teen on child incidents. I am not easily shocked. But one item last week blew my last gasket! The cops caught a guy walkin around near 5th and Reed with an Uzi....that's right A FUCKING UZI!!! ...with 25 in the clip!!!

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!
