As a child I walked through drugs and mayhem.  I never done them, but I cam out the other side a better man.  You are probably wondering about my mom and dad.  While my mom was amazing, while struggling through addiction.  My dad is pathetically sad.  He’s a drunk, he was a punk, and ultimately a disgrace.  He would eventually die in prison for shooting a man in the face.  As a boy, I was touched by another.  My mom was going through so much stuff, I didn’t even tell her.  I watched my grandfather get shot in the chest with a shotgun.  I can’t make this stuff up.  LIFE, is that all you got?
