Unlucky 37

Another year, another set of worries. Long hair has permanently become short, Those ten pesky pounds are persistent, the aches are ever-present.

Life Stories: The Shake

From 1997-1999, my time in middle school was a medicated hellride full of fuck-yous and defiance as I tried my best to become the Stone Cold Steve Austin of Greenfield. I fought authority Monday through Friday with the prescribed tag team of Paxil and Depakote, feeling like an invincible ball of charismatic fat as I … Continue reading Life Stories: The Shake →
