Little Gangster (Part 16 A) The Vision

His mom named him Procopio when he was born. As he was growing up in the neighborhood, his nickname evolved into Tok-yo.(just like Japan's capital)Sometimes they just called him "Toke." He was an only child. His mother loved him very much. He had never met his dad. Tokyo grew to be a pretty good-sized teenager. He enjoyed being with his friends. He did not care for sports or school, but he got by. He was constantly dreaming of doing great things and being a leader, but he did not really have any examples in his neighborhood. His friends looked up to him. His circle of friends developed into a small crew. He realized he had some leadership qualities. At the age of 15, he decided to get a tattoo. The barrio he lived in was called "Trece." He got his friends together and told them he was going to get a tattoo with a big number 13 on his left arm. Under the thirteen, he wanted a picture of Jesus in agony with a crown of thorns. There was a total of 6 young men. They decided to get some weed and go to an abandoned house to get high. They took some needles and ink with them. "Tintas" was also 15 years of age. He was an outstanding artist. It only took him 4 hours and 22 minutes to ink the "Trece" and Jesus on Toke's arm. Toke was a leader. He had a vision. He and his friends kept on smoking weed and talking about the future. The future discussed did not necessarily include working somewhere or attending college. It was mainly about power, obtaining easy money, meeting girls, having fun, getting high, pride, image and driving a stylish car. The conversation was driven by dreams, fantasy and the vision of Toke. Toke was a leader who had too much charisma for his own good. He started lifting weights. He really devoted himself toward developing some big arms and chest. He succeeded. He succeeded because he was driven......driven by a fantasy. Even the high school varsity football coach was interested in Toke going out for the team. Toke wanted no part of sports. The only concept he wanted to have relating to a team was the concept of a gang. He was obsessed with his image. He was obsessed with himself. He was obsessed with having people follow him. He was obsessed with the idea of being a gangsterHis mom named him Procopio when he was born.
