So it goes.

I am from dreams of solitude,
From hand me downs, and hemming clothes
From Being the last of four rowdy boys.
I am from Becky's painful shots,
and Jimbo's looney mind
I am from learning from brothers mistakes
From cold cement floors, and damp basement air.
From "you're our last chance to make it through college"
I am from Zip Zingers

From late night/early morning skate sessions.
I am from handcuffs, bad role models, and constant fights.
From dinosaurs, pokemon cards,
Close calls, and even closer friends.
From finally being able to cut my dead weight, and move speedily toward the future.
