Chronic

So I've started helping out with the jr/sr high youth group at my church in South Phoenix. Tonight was my second time, and I'm still trying to get 'in' with the kids. Upon hanging out with a bunch of the kids who happen to be nick-named after popular candies, 'Skittles' told me that I was not allowed to be named Marz Barz because that's a chocolate name and I'm not black. Instead they dubbed me "Chronic" allegedly after an energy drink.

I later learned that chronic is a slang term for pot.

I know, I know. At what point does lying to a gullible person stop being funny?!

I considered telling the kids about my rapping career, but I think I'm gonna wait til we're a little more acquainted. Right now I feel they'd have a really hard time considering anyone who grew up in the suburbs 'gangsta'...
