So, I've finally met a somewhat interesting person here at Cypress.

Let's call her LaQueesha.

I sit next to LaQueesha in anthropology and yesterday she was telling me about what she was planning on doing for her field work project. She's doing her project on gangsters and how their upbringing and childhood limits their options on careers and whatnot. Sounds interesting enough, not that being a gangster is considered an actual culture in the eyes of science. But, whatever floats your boat, LaQueesha. Then she pulls out her laptop and shows me and this other girl all the intense footage she's been getting for the past week.

She then said in a very nonchalantly,"This is my brother's crack house."

She told us that her brother lives in sin city and runs a crack house along side of his brothas. I was seriously watching a video with gangster throwing up signs, smoking dope, and rapping. They were all doing this while using extremely obscene language. I wasn't offended or anything, it was just a little awkward. But I guess that's 'G' or 'gee', however you spell it.

Now, I'm not sure if I should reconsider my project idea. It's not nearly as crazy as LaQueesha's, but I think the Persian culture is much more sophisticated and interesting than the American thug life. The Persians were around before the Romans so I figure that I'll have plenty to write about. Plus, I have a secret weapon! Ghazzy! Even though I have still not properly asked them, I'm going to use her and her mother for my project. They are really the only people I know that are in touch with their culture.

So, I'm off to get some culture! And to study for my statistics test... Boo.
