510 501.2140that I had anger issues at a certain time.503.1369 
511VLD_int_01503.8218Hm.504.1730

516 507.4862But,507.8681 
518 508.4915that- that was part of my life when I realized that like other- I didn't really get along with certain people.512.4676

577VLD_int_01571.8905Okay.572.3339

581 576.0290Lowndes County schools.577.3478 
582VLD_se0_ag2_m_01577.3478Like, I didn't switch579.0336

585 583.0887Well,583.4005 
587 584.2785basically, I finished sixth grade at585.6702 
589 585.7712/RD-SCHOOL-5/.586.4473

597 596.4954we used to. Okay. So, we used to live on Ma-597.7598 
599 597.8520by Madison Heights, so it would about- um, the DMV.600.3720 
601 601.2677It was like,601.9247 
603 602.3769you know, going towards.603.6062 
605 603.7107You know where the DMV at.604.6906

614VLD_int_01612.3369[Mm-hm.]612.7496
615VLD_se0_ag2_m_01612.9632But, matter a fact, right down the- right down the street from614.9301
617 615.0047Lowe's Distribution and all that.616.3657

620VLD_int_01617.4940Okay.617.8276
621VLD_se0_ag2_m_01617.8803We used to live on Madison Heights right up the road.619.5777
623 620.0897So,620.6633 
625 620.9926I think like, the rent got too high or something like that. And my mom was like, we can't really s- keep paying this.625.0009 
627 625.5892Then, we ended up moving out to Hahira.627.2059 
629 628.1674And628.8391 
631 629.7172I actually- to be honest with you, I liked the fact that we moved out to Hahira633.7756 
633 634.5468way better than being in the city. Like, at first I didn't.636.6409 
635 637.0185Because, I didn't know where I was,638.5288 
637 639.1068I didn't-639.9848 
639 640.4985I didn't wa- I didn't know how to make friends really.642.5224 
641 643.0624It was just like643.7956 
643 643.8966we- it was different.644.7380 
644VLD_int_01644.9707Mm-hm.645.3394
645VLD_se0_ag2_m_01645.5458And especially where we lived, cause like- we used to live kind of in like a little trailer park.648.7112
647 649.2205And there was nobody650.3619 
649 650.6721like650.9531 
651 651.0936nobody around I played with652.3009 
653 652.9946until like, closer to the end when I was about to move.655.1239 
655 656.0107But.656.2522 
657 656.3180[<laugh>]658.2746 
658VLD_int_01656.9487[That always happens right?]658.2131
659VLD_se0_ag2_m_01658.2746Yeah.658.8190
661 659.2185But um, that's-660.3029 
663 661.0229yeah.661.3697 
664VLD_int_01661.6727Why'd you like it better?662.5168
665VLD_se0_ag2_m_01662.8768I like it better because, one,664.7207
667 665.4100okay, before even school started, everything was way quieter around me.668.5930 
669 669.3949Like, it seemed like- it felt like I had more of a time to think.671.7700 
670VLD_int_01671.9193Mm-hm.672.2134
671VLD_se0_ag2_m_01672.7271And then, when school started, like674.7159
673 675.1754I guess it cause I never had the opportunity to be the new kid.677.2695 
675 678.2661But, cause everybody else, everybody else went to school, you know, before then.680.8505 
677 681.4827Like, everybody went from Hahira, /RD-SCHOOL-3/683.6339 
679 683.8161and then,684.5976 
681 684.6854we at Pine Grove,685.7434 
683 686.1649And then I'm looking at everybody like, oh I don't know any of y'all.689.0932

686VLD_int_01689.7782[/inaudible/]690.7178
687VLD_se0_ag2_m_01690.9651Yeah, and692.4168
689 692.7417it was different. Being that- I guess being that the fact that nobody knew me it just gave me the chance to start over.696.9124 
691 697.6408And when I started over, things just699.4628 
693 699.8008picked up from there, like I started playing football,701.8643 
695 702.3209I also hit a growth spurt703.4520 
697 703.7374from704.4047 
699 704.6769when I wa- it was in the middle of sixth grade or seventh grade.706.5691

703 708.0662it just708.5667 
705 708.7292things just started changing.709.7506 
707 710.1413It s- it feel like711.0413 
709 711.9413I'd say712.6745 
711 713.1267in childhood wise,714.5272 
713 715.5003from middle school to ninth grade, that was pretty718.0511

779 785.0749that's785.4964 
781 785.7115I think it w-786.1110 
783 787.0198then there was middle school after that.788.3676 
784VLD_int_01788.9939Mm.789.2003

790 795.4022Mm. Let's talk about high school first, and then we'll go back to football cause I think798.1505 
792 798.5105people need to understand like,799.6476 
794 799.8144that Valdosta is high school [city.]801.7291 
795VLD_se0_ag2_m_01801.5930[Well] yeah, this is [definitely]803.5467
796VLD_int_01802.7652[I mean football city.]803.5467
797VLD_se0_ag2_m_01804.0472this is definitely high school city, like this- I mean high s- football city, like808.0666

808 819.6162Boy oh boy. But,821.1221
810 821.5304I mean football wise, I'd say823.0582 
812 823.3480things got way more intense when we was in high school826.0158 
814 826.6699for- as far as football.827.9738 
816 828.5007Like,828.9704 
818 829.5324like, you know830.2392 
820 830.9445I guess cause it's a lot more money involved.832.9245 
822 833.1177Lot more things involved834.5885 
824 835.0582with835.3568 
826 835.5675high school football, but it w- I feel it was a lot more fun838.1431 
828 838.7621when it was in middle school and before then.840.4919 
830 840.6807Because i-841.3348 
832 841.4665wasn't- it i-842.1295 
834 842.5055it was stuff on the line, but not843.5460 
836 843.8577that serious, you [know?]845.2670 
837VLD_int_01844.9597[Mm-hm.]845.2670

840 847.9538what did you want to know about football?849.0411 
841VLD_int_01849.3923So, when you say-850.1299

844VLD_se0_ag2_m_01852.2433[Stuff on the line.]853.0862
845VLD_int_01852.3223[When you get to high] school, [what's the difference, like what do you mean?]854.7902

849 857.0748you in competition with other teams,858.8177 
851 859.2464you in competition- especially at Lowndes. At Lowndes, you getting getting three people fro- three middle schools coming together.864.0450

854VLD_int_01867.8806Mm.868.1396

857 870.0099other teams, then you dealing with new coaches.872.6270 
859 873.2153Then, not only that,874.3085 
861 874.8953when the games come in, be- people put money on they games.877.2924 
863 877.9422Pe- people878.8202

873 887.0972wh-887.2992 
875 887.6109like, if you look at the crowds of people, like, the crowds of people just so much, it's just so different.891.2548 
876VLD_int_01891.7905It is.892.2427
877VLD_se0_ag2_m_01892.4167Yeah.892.7416
878VLD_int_01893.5582Did you ever,894.4495
880 894.8797so when did you-895.5909 
882 896.0826when you came in,897.0485 
884 897.3909you played JV right?898.4797 
885VLD_se0_ag2_m_01898.8689I played ninth grade first. There's like a ninth grade team?901.1870
886VLD_int_01901.1870Mm-hm.901.6612
887VLD_se0_ag2_m_01901.7622You go to JV then you go to varsity.903.1632
888VLD_int_01903.2686So di- okay. So, tell me about your traje- do you went ni- you did that order?906.5481
889VLD_se0_ag2_m_01906.8071Well,907.2359
891 907.9701things were a little different for me because909.8360 
893 910.4506one, when I was in ninth grade,912.0750 
895 912.4702I spent maybe a couple months914.2049 
897 914.3102in our like. Okay.915.1707 
899 915.6712When you start Lowndes High School football,917.7244 
901 918.2731you start- you have already take- you- your - one of your classes920.7185 
903 921.0829become921.5966 
905 921.9434your fieldhouse class.923.3204 
907 923.6409That's when you go workout,924.7473 
909 925.2522do the running and stuff like that.926.6658 
911 926.8063But, you doing that with your co- your football coaches.928.9078 
913 929.5883So,930.2424 
915 931.2478being that,931.9985 
917 932.5649my first933.3990 
919 933.6361two mo- two three months,934.8595 
921 935.5136they realized that I'm stronger than the average937.4058 
923 937.6512ninth grader. Everybody was like you huge. So, they moved me into advanced weightlifting.940.9329 
925 941.6704So, I was still playing943.1412 
927 943.6066ninth grade football,944.8032 
929 945.3344but I'm working out with the JV.946.7657 
931 947.8896So,948.5569 
933 949.1364it we- didn't949.5930 
935 949.7686That didn't take me long to get to weightlifting with951.8080 
937 952.1373JV to952.9863 
939 953.7678really varsity people954.8741 
941 955.2649because956.0024 
943 956.5541I remember like, by ninth grade year,958.1258 
945 958.4726I was working out with like959.6141 
947 959.9126people that's been there, like eleventh, twelfth graders.961.9234 
949 962.7297And that was- that was different f- it was- it was cool.965.1619 
951 965.5746But, it was different.966.3517 
953 966.8873Um.967.5019 
955 967.7302But then,968.3811 
957 968.4996in the transition, when the season got over with,970.4094 
959 970.7035from the ninth grade team971.6854 
961 972.2518we would go move972.9893 
963 973.2264play with the varsity.974.6050 
965 974.7498But we really, we just being like another JD- another JV,977.2585 
967 977.8029until the next year.978.5800 
969 979.1375So, the next year,980.0244 
971 980.1078we really on JV.981.0032 
973 981.9397If that makes sense.982.6685 
974VLD_int_01982.6685Mm-hm.982.9890
975VLD_se0_ag2_m_01983.2876Yeah.983.5598
976VLD_int_01983.9110So, you got on-984.6003
978 984.6749so you get on like985.9525 
980 986.0447varsity your987.0457 
982 987.2257junior year?987.8315 
983VLD_se0_ag2_m_01988.1812You get on vars-988.9188
985 989.0417basically, you can get on varsity your tenth grade year.991.0832 
986VLD_int_01991.1359Mm-hm.991.4695
987VLD_se0_ag2_m_01993.9369But, for the mo- most people don't hit varsity til eleventh, twelfth grade.996.8549
988VLD_int_01997.2895Okay.997.5530
989VLD_se0_ag2_m_01997.8773Yeah.998.1187
990VLD_int_01998.2153What's your position?998.9178
991VLD_se0_ag2_m_01999.2602Well, I play a lo- i-1000.4236
993 1000.5597just about every thing on the line, really, like a lot of different stuff on the line.1003.6856 
995 1004.1378But, for the most part, I played nose,1006.3446 
997 1006.9066defensive tackle, offensive tackle, and I played center before.1009.8217 
998VLD_int_011010.1466What's your favorite position?1011.3129
999VLD_se0_ag2_m_011011.5983Probably uh,1012.6212
1001 1012.7046probably nose guard. I like nose guard1014.3597 
1003 1014.6671and I don't mind right tackle.1016.0368 
1004VLD_int_011016.8227Why those versus the other ones?1018.9856
1005VLD_se0_ag2_m_011019.0427Well,1019.5651
1007 1019.9646not only is nose guard in the middle, it's just that you right there in front of the ball.1023.0934 
1009 1023.8222Like when the- when you on defense,1025.5388 
1011 1026.2280the ball like is right there, as soon as he snap the ball, you ready to hit him.1029.7282 
1013 1031.1623So,1031.6540 
1015 1031.8252it's a better opp- it's1032.7252 
1017 1033.2433easier opportunity for you to get to it.1034.9555 
1018VLD_int_011035.4604I got you.1036.0399
1019VLD_se0_ag2_m_011036.2945Yeah.1036.4701
1020VLD_int_011036.4701And then why right tackle?1037.8120
1021VLD_se0_ag2_m_011037.9481Right tackle,1038.6550
1023 1038.7208it's cause1039.4233 
1025 1039.5857wasn-1039.9150 
1027 1041.1618really depended on1042.1277 
1029 1042.8374what side the ball was going.1043.9964 
1031 1044.2994But, a reason why I like right side, one is gonna put that quarterback.1047.1618 
1033 1047.5701and if- when I'd /end/ playing left tackle,1049.5475 
1035 1050.1666like1050.3685 
1037 1050.5880it's basically the1051.2071 
1039 1051.4485o- opposite ends of it.1052.7920 
1041 1053.4505But,1053.7534 
1043 1054.0954I know when I play the left,1055.3116 
1045 1055.7242it's more or less like I'm watching my quarterback side.1057.9282 
1047 1058.5340Like, the s- the stuff he can't see.1059.9258 
1049 1060.8725And then right,1061.7901 
1051 1062.0799it's the stuff he can see, but then it's the people that's just way too strong that's like on they- on the defensive side, that's like1067.7199 
1053 1068.4969most- like a lot of teams that I went again- that we've went against,1070.9292 
1055 1071.3199like,1071.6696 
1057 1072.3676the right side1073.1798 
1059 1073.3072be more they fast, strong, and real like1076.0687 
1061 1076.6965intensifying people.1077.8818 
1063 1078.5301that really try to make sacks.1079.7594 
1065 1080.2247It- it's- it's just crazy.1081.5023 
1066VLD_int_011082.9160So, tell me about-1084.5784
1068 1086.3125tell me about Winnersville Classic. For the people who- I know it, but talk about it for the people who are listening.1090.9865 
1070 1092.1923Cause they don't know.1092.8026 
1071VLD_se0_ag2_m_011093.0485[The Winnersville Classic.] Well, that's a lot of people. When I talking about money on games, and money in all types of stuff that's in this,1099.2985
1072VLD_int_011093.0485[They don't know.]1093.7772
1073VLD_se0_ag2_m_011100.1005yeah.1100.5000
1075 1100.7722<laugh>1102.1903 
1077 1102.8183Well, it's wild- it's fun though, cause you has- not only is that you have so many people going out, like the game is so intensified cause you never have1109.0992 
1079 1109.5512a game just blowing out. Like one team blowing out the other. You always have something close.1113.1230 
1081 1113.5380Like, I remember l- I-1114.6217 
1083 1114.7103I mean, I'm /not/ mistaken,1115.7361 
1085 1116.5044most of the games that we played against Valdosta, it- we were three1119.4140 
1087 1119.5353like1119.7358 
1089 1119.7964either we were three points ahead,1121.3864 
1091 1121.4750or they were three points ahead, like it's been close.1123.6048

1098 1125.8850blow out this last year right?1127.0087 
1099VLD_se0_ag2_m_011127.0087I think so.1127.7315
1100 1127.8807A- I don- I haven't payed attention the past two years.1129.8333
1102 1130.3835But, I know when I was playing, it was just really close1132.6404 
1104 1133.5438It was [fire.]1134.3198 
1105VLD_int_011133.9495[Does] it feel different? Like1135.1432
1106VLD_se0_ag2_m_011135.2551[It-]1135.6002
1107VLD_int_011135.2551[be out] playing that game- like, does it feel different like in a locker room, on the field?1139.4797
1108VLD_se0_ag2_m_011139.6522Well, it feels way funner when you win.1141.6981
1110 1142.4022[<laugh>]1145.1300 
1111VLD_int_011144.9341[Mm-hm.]1145.5636
1112VLD_se0_ag2_m_011145.8049Yeah. Like,1147.0033
1114 1147.2458most times, if we'd lose, the locker room like1149.1249 
1116 1149.2415it would be turnt, but for the most part, everybody be kind of sad, like everybody be a little kind of depressed, so1153.0053 
1118 1153.2432you don't want that in the locker room.1154.2772 
1120 1154.9533But, when you win, shoot. Everybody having a good time, almost like a party.1157.7743

1517 1556.3823are a little off.1557.2869 
1519 1558.1950And then,1558.8478 
1521 1558.9830with everything I ha- I seem to have going on, some people still didn't really like me either way.1563.4361 
1523 1563.6413Anyway.1564.1111 
1525 1564.9131Cause like, for example, like prom.1566.3959 
1527 1566.7643Like,1567.4684 
1529 1567.5943I don't know what it was1569.1097

1537 1575.2123that had go on.1576.2323 
1539 1576.5587But that was a thing.1577.3094 
1541 1578.0275I only had1579.0114 
1543 1579.7015I only had people1580.6621 
1545 1581.1936w- white people in general, come up me, just say they don't1583.6498 
1547 1584.8389it was different how I talk.1586.1631 
1549 1587.0118Like,1587.4268 
1551 1587.7812I have a southern drawl, but I don't talk hoodish all day.1590.5451 
1553 1591.1425So,1591.7021 
1555 1592.2016that was different.1592.9990 
1557 1593.7730Um.1594.4060 
1559 1595.7256But, other than that, as far as my friends, like1597.6747 
1561 1597.8239m- friends, they good people.1599.1773 
1563 1599.7526Like,1600.0791 
1565 1600.3641friend wise, I never had no, no really no issue with that one.1603.1933 
1567 1603.7995But,1604.0699

1572VLD_int_011608.6384And that-1609.0488
1574 1609.7062So, let me ask you this, do you think that was because you were necessarily dating1612.6054 
1576 1613.9716black1614.5592 
1578 1614.7224I mean, because you were dating white girls? Or you have white friends? Or is that just1617.7859 
1580 1617.9479how it is in the South do you think?1619.5100 
1581VLD_se0_ag2_m_011621.5231Hone- z- honestly, I can't even tell you.1623.1937

2366 2412.4543/above/ the talk2413.2041 
2368 2413.5786but, at the same time, I'm really just2415.1653

2421VLD_se0_ag2_m_012458.6169Yeah.2458.8551

2443VLD_int_012476.9565[Hm.]2477.5844
2444VLD_se0_ag2_m_012477.0004[I like FSU.]2477.8039
2445 2478.4053Um, a- actually, matter of fact, I've been to a FSU game.2481.3249
2447 2481.8385And that was fun.2482.8044 
2449 2483.0795That my first time ever doing that.2484.1639 
2451 2484.8663Like,2485.4151 
2453 2485.6214it was uh, that was a fun experience, cause I've never been in- to a actual stadium like that.2489.5712 
2455 2490.0497And going, and seeing 'em, and then like, we went to like we went to this field trip with football. The football players in middle school.2495.3016 
2457 2495.7274And we get to meet some of the players that was there at the time.2497.9123 
2459 2498.3777And like, one of them, he in the NFL now, and I remember his- he like, I seen him multiple- a lot actually.2502.4036 
2461 2502.8692Um, Telvin Smith.2503.7630

2465 2505.1196he in- the- he2506.0372 
2467 2506.2128played for the Jaguars, so that's pretty lit.2507.8504 
2469 2508.4123And then, as far as pro,2510.1362 
2471 2510.4040I like the Falcons,2511.5894 
2473 2512.2260and I like Dallas.2513.6089

2477VLD_se0_ag2_m_012515.4704[Yeah.]2515.8069
2478 2516.2020It's2516.6938
2480 2516.8079definitely a tough season.2517.7299 
2482 2518.2435But,2518.4367 
2484 2518.5728I don't really get too much into the NFL either, because I think2521.7470 
2486 2521.9957It's kind of rigged.2523.1196 
2488 2524.2216[Cause think] about it, the Patriots go almost every year,2526.2411 
2489VLD_int_012524.3357[Hm.]2524.6255
2490VLD_se0_ag2_m_012527.0577and then they win2528.0177

2504 2540.9660Um.2541.5235
2506 2542.0021I think- I think especially now, it's just so-2544.3070 
2508 2544.8865With everything that happened with Colin Kaepernick and now all the players, it's just so crazy-2549.3499 
2510 2550.1270I think the NFL need som- sort some things out.2551.8617 
2511VLD_se0_ag2_m_012552.4017Or, I don't believe with the whole Colin Kaepernick thing, you gotta remember, he is his own person, for one.2556.5007
2513 2557.1504And like, he do his own thing.2558.5641 
2515 2558.9505You know, and he has- he has his own opinion.2561.3680 
2517 2562.1758And,2562.7817 
2519 2562.8651for what he stands for, it's not more or less2564.8056 
2521 2565.3792St- for what people2566.7577 
2523 2566.9202is making it out to be, I [guess.]2568.6675 
2524VLD_int_012568.2812[Mm-hm.]2568.6675
2525VLD_se0_ag2_m_012569.3041But, people always misconstrued stuff on the daily, so it don't even matter.2572.3850
2527 2573.1410<laugh>2573.9796 
2528VLD_int_012574.2342Um.2574.7742
2530 2575.9493But, what I think I appreciate,2577.8064 
2532 2578.5044is at least the conversation has started, right?2580.6074 
2534 2581.0552And then how far we2581.9944 
2536 2582.1569go with the conversation.2583.1623 
2538 2583.7681Eh.2584.1589

2967 3031.5991one of my friends threw a beer in the fire.3033.0742 
2969 3033.7752And the dude didn't want him to throw the beer into the fire I guess.3036.0537

3015VLD_int_013082.8562Keep it in?3083.3505
3016VLD_se0_ag2_m_013085.3059Is what it is.3085.9466
3018 3086.1175<laugh>3086.8131 
3019VLD_int_013086.8192Is what it is.3087.6796
3021 3088.0824What do you think, now thinking about kind of3089.8520 
3023 3090.8979if you think about Valdosta kind of3092.1671 
3025 3092.3441over the trajectory of3093.5035 
3027 3094.0214you've been here most of your life.3095.0831 
3029 3095.8764Have you seen in changing it all?3097.3348 
3030VLD_se0_ag2_m_013097.4447Yes. I've seen a lot of changes.3099.1227
3032 3099.2326Like,3099.6597 
3034 3100.1754it's I guess this is different from me cause like,3102.3172 
3036 3102.7993I remember when Walmart3104.1864 
3038 3104.2901used to be3104.9045 
3040 3105.1425like, the one on Norman Drive,3106.2277 
3042 3106.7647I remember when that used to be where Hobby Lobby is.3108.4184 
3044 3108.8272And I look at it now cause I work at /RD-WORK-2/,3110.5012 
3046 3110.8856and I'm like,3111.2971 
3048 3111.5961hey, I remember that.3112.4687 
3050 3112.9566Or I remember when um,3114.3362 
3052 3115.2698we used to have a Whataburger.3116.4043 
3054 3117.8928That was a change, um when we didn't have the second overpass, that's-3121.2184 
3056 3121.6395That was so- and I don't really know, just slight changes.3123.8423 
3057VLD_int_013125.1634Do you feel like-3126.2862
3058VLD_se0_ag2_m_013126.6218We getting a lot more people, like more population coming in.3129.1114
3059VLD_int_013129.5081Why?3129.7827
3061 3129.8925Why do you think that's the case? [Why do you think it's the case?]3131.9251 
3062VLD_se0_ag2_m_013130.8755[Uh, like, college.]3132.3278
3063 3132.6268For the most part. But the- you just- like, a lot a like military and college, I'd say.3136.2928
3065 3137.0434But,3137.2997 
3067 3137.4793it's just a lo- I feel like there's a lot more people here now,3139.9936 
3069 3140.3597then it was like ten, fifteen years ago.3142.2209 
3070VLD_int_013143.5511What makes you-3144.0214
3072 3144.1801what makes you say that?3145.1137 
3074 3145.2357Beyond just the military and the coll- like, how do you.3147.0847 
3076 3147.3593How does that make you,3148.0976 
3078 3148.1770like, what makes you say that?3149.4724 
3080 3149.6615[Is it the people, the] housing? What is it?3151.6595 
3081VLD_se0_ag2_m_013149.7653[Cause like.]3150.5708

3084 3153.6281Like,3153.9820 
3086 3154.2162lot of people I meet aren't really from here.3155.7662 
3087VLD_int_013156.4191Hm.3156.7303
3088VLD_se0_ag2_m_013156.9012Like,3157.5297
3090 3157.9324for example, like, okay, like I work at /RD-WORK-2/.3159.6593 
3092 3160.3157And, I don't like3161.3835 
3094 3161.5422I talk to- to a lot of customers and stuff, and they see me all the time, and I always ask them, hey, where are y'all from?3165.6689 
3096 3166.3340And a lot of them be like oh, I'm not from here, I'm from here.3168.8847 
3098 3169.1593Or.3169.5926 
3100 3169.7331It's just a lot of that. Like I do- like,3171.3685 
3102 3171.5182it's, well, nowadays,3172.6600 
3104 3173.2275like, sometimes, it's, unless I know them3174.8690 
3106 3175.3173already,3175.8299 
3108 3176.3181but, a lot of times, it's hard to find3178.2401 
3110 3178.3927people3178.9968 
3112 3179.2165that I just meet that are from here.3180.9276 
3113VLD_int_013181.6244Hm.3181.9844
3115 3182.8510Do you think3183.4612 
3117 3183.7077now, thinking about, okay, so now we're talking about like the people. Do you think that the-3186.5025 
3119 3186.8015the-3187.0883 
3121 3187.2897the city has changed? Not like physical changes right, like the [overpass.]3190.7604 
3122VLD_se0_ag2_m_013190.2296[Yeah there's] I mean, there's physical changes. [Like,]3192.2982
3123VLD_int_013192.2555[Mm-hm.]3192.4812
3124VLD_se0_ag2_m_013192.4812yeah, there's3193.0702
3125 3193.4242differences3194.0893
3127 3194.7911but, like,3195.5782 
3129 3195.8284and then, there's a change in people too.3197.1613 
3130VLD_int_013197.8081How do- how do you think the people have changed?3199.9866
3131VLD_se0_ag2_m_013200.3893<ts>3200.5724

3135 3202.8802you have a lot more people like,3204.8329 
3137 3206.2242I'd say3206.9198 
3139 3207.8759a lot more people getting along.3209.0414 
3141 3209.2184Getting along.3209.9568 
3143 3210.5182Also, you also have to remember that Valdosta's a small place, like everybody slick know each other.3214.7163 
3145 3215.6959Like,3216.1230 
3147 3216.2756it's weird, cause I'm st- even today, like I have friends3219.4570 
3149 3219.7743they'll be like, oh, do you know so and so?3221.2921

3153 3224.3286yeah, I just saw him like a couple of days ago.3225.8053 
3155 3226.2080<laugh>3227.9777 
3156VLD_int_013228.3682How'd you [know?]3229.1493
3157VLD_se0_ag2_m_013228.9723[Eh. Yeah, like, it- and na- I have this- I kind of came up with this whole theory that one in every five friends that you may have probably know me or3236.5269
3158 3236.8381one of your other.-3237.3019
3160 3237.3873It's, you know what I mean, it's just how that works out.3239.2005 
3162 3239.9633So.3240.2928 
3164 3240.7749<laugh>3241.3180 
3165VLD_int_013241.3851It is really small.3242.3980
3167 3242.9383Um.3243.5119 
3169 3243.7987How did you start3244.7811 
3171 3246.0457your lo-3246.5949 
3173 3246.8356locking your hair?3247.5069 
3175 3248.2025Why'd you start?3248.8127 
3176VLD_se0_ag2_m_013248.8798Um.3249.5511
3178 3249.6609This. Well, it's not really locking.3251.2170 
3180 3251.3573[It's a two strand twist.]3252.4946 
3181VLD_int_013251.5892[It's-]3252.0674
3182VLD_se0_ag2_m_013253.3184I just, um,3254.3924
3183VLD_int_013254.3732/unintelligible/, how'd you start growing your hair out?3256.2596
3184 3256.4854Cause before you used to keep it3257.9339
3186 3258.2207low-ish.3258.9835 
3187VLD_se0_ag2_m_013259.4289Well,3259.9537
3189 3260.2161one reason is because like it express freedom.3262.2664 
3191 3263.2663Like3263.8951 
3193 3264.0038I grow my hair because one, I was like, you know growing up black, you d- we always keep your hair cut.3268.3747 
3195 3268.7990You know what I mean, I just wanted to try s- like shoot, what if I grew my hair out?3271.8159 
3197 3272.3228You know what I mean? Especially always being told to keep it cut.3274.4117 
3199 3275.0692So,3275.6735 
3201 3276.0122and not even just3276.8955 
3203 3277.5596freedom from being told not to keep it cut, just freedom of like3280.8244 
3205 3281.1418I'm my own person.3282.0959 
3207 3282.2729You know?3282.6939 
3209 3283.3284Like,3283.7678 
3211 3283.8675I can make my own decisions. I can- it's my hair, I grow it,3286.4243 
3213 3287.0101So, I can just3288.2456 
3215 3288.6117I can have my own3289.4416 
3217 3289.5331do what i want with you know?3290.6666 
3219 3291.4395That's what I like.3291.9765 
3221 3292.1229<laugh>3293.1725 
3223 3293.8376And then, with this, like3294.9098 
3225 3295.4590I twist it sometimes or sometimes get it braided so I can, I can just have the [flexibility.]3299.7670 
3226VLD_int_013299.5717[/bility/.]3299.8707
3227 3299.9805Mm-hm.3300.3650
3229 3300.4272So, you're not locking it?3301.2754 
3230VLD_se0_ag2_m_013301.8734Not right now.3302.6362
3231VLD_int_013302.8619But maybe?3303.4233
3232VLD_se0_ag2_m_013303.6954Monday.3304.1495
3233VLD_int_013304.8451You said [Monday?]3305.5956
3234VLD_se0_ag2_m_013305.3759[Maybe] one day.3306.2851
