<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Eve Samples: These three numbers are too offensive for Martin County high schools</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Wednesday, October 5, 2011 </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Sneakers in every color of the rainbow line the wall at Teak Leasor's skate shop across from the Martin County Courthouse.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There are red Nikes with teal swooshes, dark blue Adidas with light blue stripes.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nearby, a rack of Made in the U.S.A. T-shirts are emblazoned with the name of Leasor's store, Five Six One Skateboarding.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The apparel is popular with parts of the high school set in Martin County — but teenagers had better not try to wear the shirts to school.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ginger Cullere's son, Cole, made that mistake last month.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When the sophomore at Martin County High showed up for class wearing a T-shirt bearing the skate shop's name, he was promptly instructed to turn it inside-out. When that didn't appease school officials, he had to remove the offending shirt and wear a school-issued replacement for the remainder of the day.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"I could see if it had a pot leaf," Ginger Cullere said.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">But just three numerals were printed on it: 561.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Most of us know them as the area code for Palm Beach County. A decade ago, 561 also was the area code on the Treasure Coast — and that's why Leasor named his business Five Six One Skateboarding when he opened it 11 years ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">He had no idea the numbers would become linked to gangs based in Palm Beach County, namely Top 6 and 561 Boyz.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"I thought it would be easy to catch on and not too pretentious," Leasor told me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">He was thinking like an entrepreneur. Silly him.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Leasor is not one to raise a ruckus or attend school board meetings (he didn't contact me for this story — I called him), but the ban has definitely cut into sales.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">At least 30 percent of his customers are high school students, he estimated.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"I've had multiple kids tell me that they're not allowed to wear the shirts, so they're not going to purchase one for school," Leasor said.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The student handbook for Martin County High doesn't explicitly prohibit apparel with 561 or other area codes on it.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It states "no messages, pictures, symbols or clothing may be worn or displayed which portray ideas that are harmful to the health, safety and welfare of students, e.g., messages which relate to drugs, smoking, alcohol, sex, gangs, profanity or violence."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Jensen Beach High School and South Fork High School have similar prohibitions.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When I asked Martin County School District officials for their take on the matter, spokeswoman Cathy Brennan sent me this statement:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"Our schools work collaboratively with the Martin County Sheriff's Office to monitor items that are known to be commonly used as gang identifiers. Our priority is always student safety and we want to prevent issues on our campuses in which these items could be misconstrued as being gang-related."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She also emailed me the link to a YouTube video in which a Top 6 gang member briefly appears wearing a hat with 561 printed on it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ginger Cullere thinks the district is taking its enforcement of the dress code too far.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">She said her son is a "good kid" who takes pride in his appearance. Cole doesn't wear saggy pants. He won't go to school in a wrinkled shirt.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">He's certainly not in a gang.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"He takes so much pride in his clothes, and he can't wear them," she said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nor can he carry his backpack, which he bought from Leasor's store, to school.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ginger Cullere pointed out that members of the notorious Bloods gang are known to wear red. Crips wear blue.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">"So if you wear a solid red shirt or solid blue, you're a gang member?" she asked.</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Of course not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Nor are you automatically promoting a gang if you wear the numbers 561.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So far, Leasor's shop has weathered the recession relatively well. He's one of the lucky small business owners who have seen sales increase during the last two years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The ban on wearing his gear at public high schools probably won't break him, but that doesn't make it right."I'm pretty baffled by it," Leasor said.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It would be one thing if the school required uniforms. Then, there would be no debating what's allowed or what's not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As the rules stand now, there's too much room for interpretation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As Cole's case illustrates, it's a distraction for students, teachers and administrators.</span>carrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05881018977822836732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549424660086444646.post-38792580836045798812011-09-28T10:21:00.002-04:002011-09-28T10:21:49.368-04:00rochambeau<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiQmoAJEgKNwd969J8GYBXjWC_okEf6yecFiVCInEMiwnJ5NAkonmBTLorYFs4jFKp4zpmk7BPob4xUtK7YTMs83cntHmJw2iNuvMgyWlTrc9M5ZnlBkM1NFytMKkovfRARGGXBHu79Og/s1600/ro+sham+bo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOiQmoAJEgKNwd969J8GYBXjWC_okEf6yecFiVCInEMiwnJ5NAkonmBTLorYFs4jFKp4zpmk7BPob4xUtK7YTMs83cntHmJw2iNuvMgyWlTrc9M5ZnlBkM1NFytMKkovfRARGGXBHu79Og/s320/ro+sham+bo.JPG" width="239" /></a></div>carrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05881018977822836732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549424660086444646.post-71695790908284232482011-09-26T15:29:00.000-04:002011-09-26T15:29:35.013-04:00truth<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the saddest thing in life is wasted talent. </span><br />

LOVELY. i even told him about my engagement and how the dude left me for someone else. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">this just makes me believe more and more that most dudes are absolute douchebags. i honetly feel bad for the chick because this guy probably attempts to run g on randoms all the time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">oh yea, he also told me that his dick is so huge that he has been uncompatible with women in the past. and then asked me yesterday if i wanted to see it. this was after he told me about the "girlfriend" that is actually his fiance. wow, this is one lucky bride to be. and i did not take him up on the offer to view his massive dick. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">why does this shit happen to me? where is the normal dude that like good music, has good style, is funny, and has a good head on his shoulders? FML.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">**update**</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">the chick called me last night and left a message. i didn't answer because it was from his phone. she called me a bitch and told me to leave him alone. i called her back and set her straight. yay for the drama! i feel like i am in ninth grade. fucking idiots.</span>carrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05881018977822836732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549424660086444646.post-68651636198585259102011-09-14T13:55:00.001-04:002011-09-14T13:57:25.451-04:00missoni! i adore thee.<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">i love when target does the designer collabos and always try to get at least one piece from every collection (marc jacobs, can you hear me!?)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">missoni did a collection and the stuff came out yesterday and the insanity that ensued was unparallelled. the target website got completely shut down from the influx of hits pretty much immediately. i couldn't go at lunch and had an afterwork florida oceanographic society committee meeting but left work 15 minutes early to head to target. the racks were pretty much barren except for like 4 things. i actually scored an awesome men's cardigan and a kid's poncho/cape. yes, i had to visit other departments in order to get anything. but hey, at least i scored some ill stuff. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">i wanted the damn flats but they didn't have my size and ebay already has them at about $200 large. didn't bother to get anything to resell. i'm not into that whole deal anymore.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">they have a few walls of wine dispensers that you use an atm like card to get a taste, half a glass, or a full glass. the concept has been done before but it is still pretty neat. i am not the biggest wine drinker in town, but i was in luck because they have a hugely extensive beer list. this alone makes me happy to have this spot added to the local nightlife. the beer list is not only extensive, but the prices are reasonable as well. $4 for a good beer is not bad whatsoever. no real basic selections (bud light, miller light etc) on the menu so i did hear some people griping about that. but they have some of <strong>my faves</strong>, palm and monk in the trunk. deslish! all in all it was a good time. the service is slow but will hopefully improve, and some more decorations would be a good addition also. they don't really have any food, with the exception of some cheese and meat platters. being owned by eric of ian's tropical grill, i was a little sad about that, but crush is about the bevies and not the food. so don't go there if you are hungry.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">when i was living in nyc i had a bf that lived uptown and when i'd drive to his place, i would have to drive by the corner where they filmed the scenes for the apartment building that leon and mathilda lived in, and the corner bodega that they shopped at. pretty awesome.</span><br />

Such a great escape. The air just smells better and the grass is so skinny and weird and soft. Doing the wifi thing right now up 10,000 feet on my way from the layover in Atlanta to PBI, landing at about midnight. Annoying chatty people to my left have finally ceased the annoying chatter. I do love vacation, and airport people watching, but I can't wait to get home, see my pups and sleep in my own comfy familiar bed. <br />
<br />
I scored an awesome pair of Jack Rogers and a rad Obey thin long sleeve knit super heathered number. I love to "vacation shop." Didn't make it to NYC for fear of spending too much money. I'll get back there soon enough though. <br />

Flight was delayed by an hour which made me miss my connecting flight. Instead of an hour layover I ended up with a 2.5 hour layover. So I decided to take a cab to the local Target to kill some time and grab some manicure supplies to keep me busy. On the way to Atlanta I sat next to a 9 year old Columbian kid that flew alone. I told him I would look out for him because I've been a professional solo flyer for 25 years. Well behaved smart little dude.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">i need a plan that enables me to not work for much longer. need to invent something or win the lotto. difficult to win the lotto when i never play but yea. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">i hated stuart the whole time i was away but smiled when i saw the sign for the exit. when i got off and saw my familiar roads of stu-ville it felt good to be home. i have a real love hate relationship with this place. sometimes i don't want to run into 40 people from high school at musicfest. i miss museums, really good food from really far away places, amazing shopping, indie movie theaters, street culture, etc...but on the other hand i love that i can call kyle to come over and install a fan for me, and talk to ed and ki or notch about everything honestly and openly because i feel so comfortable with them. in the end, it is my friends that brought me back to this place and keeps me here. you can't form bonds like the ones i have with the few that i hold so dear. i just need to plan mini escapes more often. still in search for that ultimate partner in crime. not settling either. </span>carrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05881018977822836732noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549424660086444646.post-30106122824264970072011-07-08T11:07:00.000-04:002011-07-08T11:07:31.299-04:00on the road again<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">left savannah yesterday and took the hour drive to hilton head to visit my sister for a few days. my father has 5 kids in total with 4 women. janie is by far my favorite. we are very alike and she is wise beyond her years and just plain awesome. she's 19 and was the youngest until 3 years ago when he decided that it was in fact time to have a baby at the ripe old age of old. it's nice here, i have been here plenty of times, but this was the only time i can remember being happy as i was traveling here. prob because i wasn't being forced to come here to see people i didn't want to see. wanted to go to the beach today because my tanorexic self thinks i am getting pale with all my time away from the sunshine state. weather looks like dog shit. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">wednesday was really super hot in savannah and i thought i was going to die from heat stroke, or at least pass out. this chick told me about this awesome organic, vegetarian/vegan market/cafe that was at the edge of the park so i decided to make my trek towards it around 1pm. little did i know that it was 2 miles away. it was 101 and ridiculously humid. so i get there and i don't want a shitty sogged out premade sandwich and ask for a freshy. crunchy vegan girl behind the counter was pissy about it but made it anyways. i told her i wanted one without tomatoes to make my request seem more valid. who wants a sogged out hummus and cucumber sandwich?! i walked around and looed at all the holistic meds and other misc veggie head items and came back to get my sammie and they had put a sign out that said "no more custom sandwiches." i mean really? eat a dick you rude lazy hairy armpitted vegan wench. i walked two miles to get this stupid sandwich!! it was good though. walked back along the park and saw some really beautiful homes. ate dinner at this amazing restaurant called the olde pink house. excellent service and even more excellent food. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">blt salad and duck with 2 fat tires = yummo.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> i would definitely go back if i ever make it to savannah again, which i am pretty sure that i will. i wanted to try a ghost tour sometime while i was there but i decided against it since i can hardly stand to watch scary movies and i was staying alone in a weird hotel in an unfamiliar city. maybe next time. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">maybe i will go home on saturday, but it looks more like it'll be sunday. i don't have to be back at work until tuesday and i am really relishing my time away. relaxation and no stress is a great feeling. </span></div>carrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05881018977822836732noreply@blogger.com0
