Settles down on a stoop outside one of the towering apartment blocks in Chicago and lights up a reefer

Hey there folks, first off I'd just like to start by saying thank you to those who have come to listen to what I have to say. However if your looking for a rant/complaint/general who ha your out of luck.

takes a long draw and coughs a little

Damn stuff always get me on the first hit, but I'm not here to discuss smoking habits or who knows maybe in a way I am. I watched the bloodshed at the weekend, the loss to our community as a whole was a great one. That being said this is a place of dreams, where you never know what you'll find round the next corner.

takes another draw and exhales slowly

As the saying goes, out with the old and in with the new. Well with the exception of Iota as with the demise of Deimne that's left him the oldest kid on the block. But where to now with our society, has much really changed? I think not, okay New York is not the powerhouse it was but still as was shown by The Deans actions they are more than capable of taking care of themselves.

takes another long draw, holds it for a second and releases

Which leaves the burning question on everyone's mind, who now is top dog. Will we see the enforcement we saw with New York or will we see a different direction.

I for one am interested to see how things will turn out, personally I believe that things have become a little bit more interesting now that the playing field has somewhat levelled.

takes an final draw on his reefer then stubs it out, leaning back Black_Devil takes in the lights of the city at night and wonders to himself what others might be thinking

Mr. Devil, the same phrase as they say: "Out with the old and in with the new" can be applied to practices made in everyday life. Perhaps you should quit smoking, as doctors are beginning to determine it is a health hazard - besides it stains teeth and the smoke sticks to nearly everything. An educated public is a healthier public, but you are undoubtedly educated and you know that in the end - Time will tell.

In the mean time - it's time to continue about business, rebuilding the rackets that have fallen along the way side and honoring our ancestors name by living decently - as decently as a criminal can.

Thank you for the compliment and the advice. But I live by one rule and one rule only, we all gotta die of something may as well enjoy all of life's fruits before we go and my main vice is the mary jane.

But yes your very true there, life goes on and business doesn't stop over a little bloodshed. In fact now is a time where the pickings are ripe for us to mature in our own right, while honouring those who went before us at the same time.

Bosses come and bosses go, but business will always remain and there will always be those who can pick up where others left off.
