Eh my neighborhood
So i don't have an image on my macbook, and i lost every bit of login information to my Flickr account. So i'm going to go on words. If i had to pick one image to describe my town, it would be middle school kids hanging out at the strip mall by my house trying to look all cool and stuff. Granted, mot middle school kids in my town did/do it so yes, i as one of them once, unfortunately. It's a pattern. They get into to high school and realize it's time to make some real friends and have a real life now. Hanging out at Regency plaza/Huntington plaza doesn't count as a social life. I would drive up to Huntington plaza ( down the street from my house) when i was 17 or 18 to run errands for my mom at the Walgreen's or ship something at the Pack 'n' Mail, and i would see these kids leaning against the wall/windows outside of where Record Breakers used to be. 13 and 14 year old kids, smoking cigarettes, but not inhaling them. Throwing things at cars and pedestrians because they thought they were bad ass. When i hung out there, i never did that, i sat quietly wishing i had money to go buy records. Those kids tried to be smug, and cool. If i captured them in an image you would feel their sliminess run down your spine. You would want to punch them in the face, or tell them to grow up and get a life. They are at a young age, and need to realize, that people don't think you're cool now, they probably won't later. the word "cool" i irrelevant later in life. I really wish i had taken an actual image to represent these kids. Maybe i will this summer.
