I used to live near there. The party scene is very very rampant. My step bro and my bro live there they are always telling me about their adventures and I just shake my head. I wish they would move out to be honest. At least my one brother hangs out with celebritys like Andy Roddick (met through GF). He said Andy drinks like a fish.LivingOffGamblingMoney said:People out in Tampa, what's it like down there?
Is it pretty bad with gangs/crime and that whole hip hop mentality?
Remember that NBA player about 8 years ago broke into major depression and couldnt play for a while because of it? Hornets player. Kendall Gill or Mugsy Bougs maybe?ego74 said:It seems obvious to me by the "darkness" of the page that this kid had MAJOR issues with depression
Just because it would seem this kid had the perfect life (wealthy, famous family, ect) depression doesn't discriminate. It's not always a "blessing" to be the son of a famous coach, player, actor, ect...
seems like he wanted to distance himself from it all, I didn't see any mention or bragging "my dad is tony dungy!!!" or anything like that.
Bud, I think we are around the same age, and I can tell you I agree wholeheartedly with this statement...more pressure to fit in and be cool than ever in todays worldBudworth22 said:My 2 cents...
This kid was a BET gangster. I know a couple black guys like him, affluent, smart, etc..yet they are stuck in the middle. They aren't black or white enough. He put a lot of time into that webpage, real gangsters don't do that. He just tried to portray the images that the music talks about. I bet this kid did have some major depression issues. Probably was the tall black kid in the all white private school. This might be drugs, but this kid isn't a thug or a gangsta. He was just doing what millions of guys my age do on their pages, trying to be tougher than he is.
