RE: Xposed Curator's Rebound #52
But i have to admit there are more difficult days, and sometimes i just have to make do with some quick ones. Glad to know they are not always way off the mark .
Speaking of backgrounds, i think the same. I think that they prepare us for some eventualities. I connect to a similar experience, albeit under maybe different circumstances. If you grew up in kampala - my capital city, you are a lot 'sharper' and 'conscious' as there is always a lot going around you, mischief you have to constantly wad off, than if you do in an upcountry setting.
@onepracticalcat. I don’t know if you’re getting these, I’ve dubbed your name a few times now, when you do.. hey! Thanks for the use of your page, I’m getting to know @mirrors a little bit and if I’m being brutally honest.. Mirrors, as a whole, just became my best friend in the past 2 years (or so?) so the name alone ‘@mirrors’ is positive.
Interesting enough, we caught an staggering statistic last night, a little documentary covering skid row in Los Angeles. You see, skid row is just ‘San P’ to me or anywhere between ‘3rd and 5th’ and doesn’t lighten up until about ‘Temple.’ “Skid row.” Not because I’ve been that unfortunate and was a resident but I grew up in this city, I always try to make myself available to those people when I’m in the area. Whether it’s change, a dollar, or just an ear they want to talk to.
(Alright, hopefully I painted a picture! I really need to learn how to tone down these responses.. they’re all “post length these days!)
Ok well maybe this is why I’m not intimidated by being abroad. Skid row is ‘normal’ to me. ALL this text and finally I’m getting to the punchline!!
Los Angeles, California USA is the 5th largest economy in the United States and
housesassigns sidewalks to 25% of the United States’ homeless. 5% .... and 25%! That’s hideous. Literally assign sidewalks, as in, 5 square city blocks are dedicated to the homeless and the streets there are bad.. real bad! You name it, needles, feces, prostitution, whatever you can think of, insert it here.
