David's Tears

I am weary with my groaning,

Letter to a Friend

4/25/2011

The Gang Culture

4/13/2011

 
Styler, whom I'd written about in my last entry, is an interesting person to talk with. I've known him for about a year, and he is very knowledgeable about the so called gang culture...

"I Killed the Dude"

4/11/2011

 
The idea of forming their own gang was first hatched when Styler (not his real name), and an older brother, and a couple of friends from the neighborhood, was at the house of Styler's parents. They were drinking beers and smoking "weed" (marijuana) at the time...

Mental Illness

4/4/2011

 
And call upon Me in the day of trouble:
I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me
Psalm 50:15
