19. When I grew up ... we had a large group of acquaintances from HS

Wed May 1, 2013, 08:22 PM

May 2013

and we would party like all teens in the 70's did ...

During that time, I began to recognize that some of our merry band would commit some egregious acts ... one pulled a knife in a bar and looked at me, requesting that I. a life long pacifist and cool head stoner (at that time), be his back up in his little tawdry to-do ...

I told him he was out of his fucking mind, and that I would never consider joining his stupid, little unnecessary brouhaha ...

I never saw him again, but it's my understanding that he died in a jail some years latter ...

I have a set of personal values that transcend acquaintance ... I would never discard my own integrity just so someone else I happen to know can get away with murder ... FUCK THAT ...

I have to live in my own skin ... nobody else does ...

So yeah ... I do NOT have your back Fawkes ... Not if you act like a criminal buffoon ...
