The NO-NO

Wow, where do I even start? Madera... Although I call it my home, it's not as "homey" as most would like it to be. It's 20 miles north of Fresno in the heart of California. It's a valley and a desert. We get all the bad air from southern Cali. like L.A. and it just sits in the valley for us to breathe. On top of everything else, there's a lot of drugs and gang violence, the stuff I'm trying to get away from by coming here. It's a boring city and not to many public social things todo so everyone either goes to Fresno if they really wanna "do something", but the problem with that is doing things costs money, money that most of my friends growing up don't have. Consequently, a lot of my friends got into trouble and half of them are in jail right now because of some bullshit they would have never done gowing up in another situation. So ya... that's pretty much the reason why I'm here... to educate and better myself.
