Today I will be talking about High School students. For any of you who
know
me, you know that I am back in High School cuz I am that damn good. So I'm
sitting in History 30 class doing my assignments when I hear these little
17-year-old Gee Funk snot nosed kids talking about how dangerous they are
and how much people fear them. My focus of this article is on a little 3rd
generation half-breed Latino that refers to himself as a
gangster.... we'll
call him Pedro.
In this day and age the word "Gangster" is a very loosely used term. I'm
listening to Pedro sit there and puke out his evidently
"cool" conversation
about his run-ins with the law and other 17 year old highly dangerous
gangsters. I'm thinking he must get together with his McDonalds co-workers
and go out past 11pm and tip garbage cans over in the dark alleys of the
west side. So now he's peaked my interest with his insightful array of
incoherent slang and slurred profanity. Then next thing that grabbed my
attention was Pedro's story of how he was stabbed 4 times outside the
Albany
Hotel by a rival of his. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not so sure that
all the L33T gangsters in the city hang outside the Albany, actually I was
more sure that you might find some drunken Indians and maybe a cheap
hooker
or two that might give you a hummer in return for a
smoke.
My first reaction was to want to stab him with my pencil and ask him if it
hurt as much as the knife wounds did. But then I thought... no he could be
telling the truth, sure enough he pulled up the back of his shirt and
there
were some definite scars, which were more than likely knife wounds. So
that's all fine and good, he's gained an ounce of my respect for not out
and
out blatantly spewing his verbal diarrhea without some form of proof. As I
observe him telling his stories I can now see that his L33Tness meter has
doubled with his audience of assorted social rejects as if his wounds of
stupidity are some form of status.
The moral of this story? Well there really isn't one, I just wanted to
beat
the piss out of that kid. But shortly after his story telling session he
dropped History and I haven't seen him since. Maybe he's been hired full
time as a hit man by the most powerful MOB in the city that is run out of
the basement of the Albany Hotel?
