Bruce Springsteen - Greatest Hits
By Bruce Springsteen
see relatedToday at the women's center there was a little boy who...is different from any other kid I've ever met. He's the sweetest and most well-behaved kid at the center, yet I could see that he tried to put on this tough exterior and carries a sadness around him. While we were playing, he mentioned that he considers everyone at the center his family, which was sweet. But then, he started to talk about people in this family dying, and it surprised me that this kid (no older than 5?) could talk about death so calmly. He proclaimed that he wanted to be a "Superhero Policeman" to protect his family from dying...I had no words to say. He stared at me with such an intensity in his eyes, which held much more knowledge of the world in them than a kid his age should have. Later on, we were all singing kid songs, and he started to bust out with gangster raps and throwing up gang signs that his dad taught him. It was entertaining, but at the same time, heartbreaking because I can't help but think that he has a predetermined future. He then made up song about how much he loves his mom, but his mom brushed him aside and told him to be shut up. He turned to me and gave me a sad hug. He's so little, but already the effects of homelessness and the disadvantages within his community are starting to show in his character. I wonder where/who he'll be in ten years. Will he see the world through different eyes? Will he still have the same goal? It's not fair. He's innocent and he shouldn't have to grow up in a society that limits his opportunities. I hate to see this happen to our youth.

WTHeck Ally! How did you find me? Haha, random.
Anywho, WOW, it's been more than 2 years since I've last written on xanga. Mostly I just use it to check up on how my best bud is doing. But recently, events in my life have become somewhat of a tangled mess, and everything is sure to unravel within the next few weeks. Hopefully writings about things will help me sort them out.
I don't know abut anyone else, but sometimes I feel so alone even when there are lots of people around. Something is missing and I can't put my finger on it. What can I do to fill up this void? So far, I've only found gelato.
1 more midterm to go!
Who else out there is still using xanga?
