Slide Notes

The place I remember where I first live in South East D.C in a house 1514 Fort Davis on a hill. That where the memories there every time I told somebody where I lived they would look at me strange. Man we were bad kids at the time almost all of us were in school after we always did are homework after changing. we would play until sunset playing soccer,biking or at the park if both parents were at home my mother stayed home and my father worked late. We had a pattern with my family and it was every day. South East was one of the many hoods in Washington D.C we were one of the roughs neighborhoods around.One I went to onetime listening to gun shoots. There was a point where we couldn't even go outside. Another night I slept in my parents room and the window got broken by a bat. South East was like hard soft candy, hard on the outside soft on the inside. Sometimes to pretend to be strong and scare people away. That couldn't handle the hood almost like an everyday test. It almost fun that people no matter the person every time I told somebody where I was from they couldn't believe it.

My real name

"In English my name means hope." 
Have you ever looked in the to mirror I mean really looked at it. My father was the that named after fighting with my mother for 6 months before she gave birth to me. But my mother would gave me my first name Issa. When I turned 6 years old in the mountains a ceremony was held to change my name from Issa to Uhuru. The ceremony lasted 4 hours before it ended and my forever changed to Uhuru and It means freedom. I fought a lot as a kid because people or other kids though it was funny Me and my little sister are the two in my family to two names. But of her names together means Mother of Life. but out of both of us. I had the ceremony of changing my name and my sister just had it change.

kids

"They are without respect for all living things, including themselves."
I hate kids. I don't ever want to be a father. I see what kids are like now and they're only gonna get worse. I would beat my kid so much they would be scared of me. I can't be an uncle either. My nieces and nephews would never want to come over. I'm just not able to deal with the dumb stuff kids say and do. I will not accept any foolishness in my house. Not even from my wife. She can't bring over any family under thirteen.

name calling

Who's stupid? Pg.38
Name calling is an old trade. My older brother taught me to look at the person first and just say whatever looks wrong on somebody. Whatever you think will hurt them the most. The most important thing is to not laugh at anything they say about you. If you do, you look weak. And I never look weak. I would never let it get to that point anyway. I would destroy whoever stepped to me in a few seconds flat. Then they'll understand that they should never mess with me. That's why no one ever gets in my face.

The shoe

"Do you like these shoes?"
As long as it looks good I'll buy it. From Foot Locker to Ross. Colors don't matter either. If I like it I'm gonna buy it.I'm protective of my shoes though. I'll kill somebody if they scuff my shoes. I don't wear them to mess them up. I wear them to let you see how good they are.

no name

"Once to the hospital people and twice to the police." Pg. 66
I have one friend now that has three fake names. I don't know why. He thinks they'll help one day or something. It just makes him look and sound stupid. And he already looks stupid so he's not doing himself any favors. He even has a way to get rid of all those names in case he ever needs to.
