There's been a lot of cholos in my neighborhood lately.

It's not like I live in South Central or anything, but my neighborhood isn't a model suburban location. It's cleaned up a whole lot in my lifetime but I've been noticing more gangsters the past few weeks. Someone tagged up my fence two weeks ago and kids have been walking down the streets with shaved heads and only their collars buttoned like it's 1990. It's just weird to see these kids passing by my house while I'm outside smoking cigarettes. In truth, I'm more surprised than anything else. I don't really mind the gangs since they're not hassling me or anything. Besides, how else are the disenfranchised youth of America going to feel like they belong?
