Ok, so, we’re in for 36 hours or more of ice and fuckery. But having a snowball fight with adult strangers right in front of the cathedral was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I have seen the snowballing of the pope.

Thank you New Orleans for getting weird, once more.

I’ll see you on the other side of this pipe freeze.

Probation Officer on the Perspective of Youth

Sheila missed the action of the drug trade. She was having lifestyle withdrawal. She still went to parties and was still dating an up-and-comer in one of the neighborhood gangs, but she worried that her peers didn’t look at her the same way anymore. Her boyfriend said that her holding down a day job reflected poorly on him. It made him look like he wasn’t a good earner, like he couldn’t provide for his girl.

You want to tell young people that the things they care about now won’t matter in a couple of years. They’ll make new friends, meet new people, see new places, gain and lose a half dozen jobs before they’re settled, but this insight, like so many others I’d hoped to bring to the job, was tied to my own experience, to class if not race, and hopelessly inapplicable. Most people on probation and parole in the Seventh Ward didn’t go away to college. They rarely left the city limits for any reason. When you don’t go far from home, the local ecology is the only one you care about.

One time i was hungover as fuck, walking down st charels to the walgreens to get a Gatorade and the hop on hop off bus drove by me. Tourists took pictures of me. I was not amused

When I lived in the Quarter I used to park at a friend’s house in the Marigny and ride my skateboard a few blocks down to my place off lower Decatur.

Some Asian tourist saw me coming and SPRINTED 2 blocks down to get a few pictures of a dude with a green mohawk on a skateboard wearing OR scrubs.

One time, I was sitting outside of Elizabeth’s waiting for a friend to meet me for brunch. A group of older tourists started taking my picture & exclaiming “Look! A Southern Belle!” I was wearing a sundress from like Forever 21, didn’t look anything special, & definitely not like Scarlett O’Hara (which is what I think of when someone says “southern belle”) There were probably a dozen of them in this group & each one must have taken 20 pictures of me, as I made an increasingly confused/annoyed/disgusted face.

I just wanted some praline bacon, damn!
