I was raised in downtown Phoenix ( like Arizona Compton) and needless to say as a "Gringo" i had my fair share of problems fitting in. While people next to me were planning petty crimes i was isolated and alone. So i turned to magic, polishing and creating new effects to keep myself busy. It was only a matter of time really being '6,4' 270 pounds and a white minority at a densely populated Latino school i was targeted. During lunch i was getting my daily grub and once i left into the hallway to seek a safe haven from all the "Cholos" 4 of my classmates confronted me with brass knuckles and dull, chipped switchblades They muttered their words with pretentious hate " HEY gringo, whatchya you doin out here all alone?" Needless to say i was scared for my life but that is all a lie i just made up in 5 minutes which should give you a taste of my creativity.
