spring break feels good

Most of you know that I work with elementary school kids four days a week. I may complain about their behavior, but I absolutely love my job. It's rewarding and interesting.

Everyday the kids eat snacks after school, and being that most of them are of Xicano/a and Central American descent, some of them bring or buy some peculiar (to me) treats. Red, hot, spicy, kinda sour, and sometimes buttery seems to be the trend.

This past Friday, Angel, one of the troublemakers (sometimes), who recently temporarily left the program I work with to be on the baseball team showed me this:

I have no idea what this is!!! He described it to me, and said it was or could be spicy, and sometimes sour if you squirt some kind of juice on it/them. I usually accept the offers of the students when they suggest that I try their chosen treats, but I had to say no this time...just too nervous, and I had no water with me. The last thing I tried was a persimmon. Sassy 5th grader Dulce requested that I take two. I bit into it, and smiled, and put it in my backpack to throw away when I got home. Couldnt hurt the girls feelings and throw it away in front of her!!!!

i been painting lately. im not good at it. when i was younger, i was good 'for a kid', but that youth talent is worth nothing now. still, i paint. it gets my minds off of everything around me. for spring break, im going to buy a paint set and paint everyday since i cant go anywhere. and i will keep clickin the camera too.

i just got a text message that my friend got shot...the contrast btwn my life and the life of my friends seems wide, but really we're all the same...we all eat, poop, sleep, dream, and die. The small things we do between then just seems imortant, maybe...idk....sh*t.

goin on break now.

So I went to the State of the Black Union here in LA last weekend..it was kinda inspiring. Things that stayed with me mentally:
0-Being eco-friendly is nothing new to people of Afrikan descent, embrace it.
0-"Civil rights may not have written yo resume, but it made somebody read it" - Al Sharpton
0-Al Sharpton should just call it quits with that lil bit of perm he has on his head
0- Cornel West wears the same suit all the time because he feels it is his "work uniform"
0-Measurements of merit should be reviewed and renewed.
0-Julianne Malveaux is my homie
0-It's okay to be Black and studious (i already knew that)
0- We have to be the change we want to see.
0-The youth generation is smarter than most think
0-.........
