Niggaz in low-lows, pursuin mo' hoes, then go home !

Today I decided that I needed to find an answer to a question I have had for too long: why do all mexico-american ride chromed mini-bicycles in that city ? It looks a tiny bit silly to me. Is that a cultural/tribal/gang thing? is it because they steal them from midgets or smurfs? Aren’t they less visible? Don’t they ever get crushed by cars? It took me a good hour to figure out that these cute little things are called lowriders and they even have a magazine I just subscribed to (it mostly caters to young Latino males but not exclusively… white gay Frenchmen and Asian are welcomed it indicates). Anyway I eventually learnt through my research that “in Chicano culture lowriders are much more than just a mode of transportation. It's also a sign of success.” and also that “Lowriders are laying a claim—this is my city, my street, as much as anyone else’s”. I gathered that lowriders (we call ourselves Low-lows but you can use the term lowriders) are usually young hard-working gangsters. I might spend some time this week end thinking how I could customize some of our stuff at home so it’s lower to the ground and Kevin D. feels more at ease.

Since we lost our cable in a bitter dispute, I have been watching most of my TV from Malcontent but when I see this little clip on Rhonetta Johnson I really think that we should get cable back and I should learn Ebonics.

Ok enough. Have a good Week end….our friend LL is going to get in town soon.
