Apparently my former school mate that used to pick on us youngsters at the lunch tables and dominate on the courts (and hasn't stopped) is taking his prowess and production company to new heights while showing a truer side of our homeland. Baron Davis has put out a documentary on the Bloods and the Crips. Check it out:
It's funny moving to NYC and seeing how people here think they know about the gangs or the kids try to wear colors and emmulate. It's not the same as how we used to know streets and terrirtories. Know who was who from what hood and where, what hand symbols meant what and know when to leave....immediately. I'm proud of BD for doing this and I hope it keeps getting viewed as well as picking up accolades.

- I'm blunt...and rather observant...DUH that means I should blog! I suffer from, no let me rephrase, I combat living with an AVM on a daily basis. An AVM is an Abnormal Veinous Malformation which affects about 250,000 people in the US (http://www.cumc.columbia.edu/dept/cerebro/AVM.htm#Link8). It affects everyone differently, for me it's caused a constant headache since 2003...litterally. I've been in countless doctors offices, been poked and proded, been through the emotions of being misdiagnosed with a brain tumor. Needless to say, I've been through a lot and not just because of my...let's call it an ailment. Above all I've developed a less than common outlook on life and perception of things.Don't for one minute misconstrue, I'm in no way a victim, I'm self-sufficient almost to a fault and encourage others to turn their weaknesses into empowerment. It builds character and makes for one hell of a screenplay ha! That combined with growing up immersed in a semi-charmed world, and the glitz and glamour of Hollyweird leads to some interesting anecdotes...Here are my thoughts...

Man... this is so good. This is the education that EVERYONE needs to had. I have had the opportunity to really chat and work with kids living this life and they are more human than all of us. It is important that people open there mind to destruction, so that they can better repair situations. I gotta see this doc! Thanks for the info!
