“I focused on English and science and Buddhist philosophy, with a minor in getting wasted.”
BRILLIANT!

As the others said man. It’s nice to hear you came out on the other side.

@BeckEye:
I’m a big fan of personal confessions too. But my shit pales in comparison to stuff like the Basketball Diaries or Junkie, etc. Ahh to be dangerous and depressed.

@Jack Mule:
Yeah it was a weird time. It’s true I sort of got over that shit early on. In a way. I still fuck up a lot. Just not to the same extreme.

As you know, my parents are chill. We talk about the event on occasion. Usually the tone is pretty light. Even back then they were very understanding. I’m an idiot and they knew I knew it.

No chunks – but my mom did take some photos. I wonder if I’ve got them anywhere. The thing was a pile of crumpled steel.

hey dude, that was an entertaining read. I’m not sure i ever heard the full story prior to this entry, as we weren’t hanging out during your beat period (apart from sharing the same concrete slab bench at lunch?).

Good you got that shit out young and not once you had two kick ass ladies relying upon you to not flip a mustang in a dirty pasture. I don’t think either of them would/should be as understanding as your parents were.

how has the passage of changed your parents’ perception of this event?

also, you keep any chunk of the ‘stang as a memento?

Thanks for sharing. Is it wrong that I love reading these very personal stories? Someone should really start a VH1.com series, "Behind the Blogging." .-= BeckEye´s last blog ..Negelecting Y'All Like I'm Britney Spears And Yer My Young'uns =-.
