My troubled childhood

[Saul Good]

I grew up in the northeast in a single parent home in kind of a rough area. There wasn't a lot to do there, so I spent a lot of time playing basketball and hanging out with a bad crowd. Inevitably, things got violent, and there was one particularly frightening incident that made It clear that I had to find a better situation for myself.

Fortunately, I had some family out west who was willing to take me in and provide a more stable environment throughout my high school years. They helped me find opportunities that would not have otherwise been available to me and turned me into the man I am today.

Share your story if you feel like you know me.

We'd get malts at the drug store, blow off firecrackers in back alleys, and listen to music on the transistor in our clubhouse.
Everything was great until we found the dead body.

Did one of your chubby friends marry a supermodel?

My mom made me do chores for the old bastard but eventually we grew fond of each other and he left me the car in his will when he died, as long as didnt try to make it look gay.

Your Gran Torino?

Bugs & I killed a Soc in a park late one night. The next morning we hoped a freight train to some old abandoned church.

I lived in a pretty small town. One day one of my friends overheard his brother talking about a dead body and we thought it would be a good idea to find it and claim it before his brothers gang did so. On that adventure we not only ended up finding the dead body, but we found...ourselves.

Later on we went back in town but every one went their separate ways and we stopped seeing each other.

Edit: Dammit, shoulda read the thread.

I grew up as a Jehovah's Witness and spent too much time on the computer.

When I was little, my friends and I had a run-in down in a sewer with a killer clown from outer space (or hell, I dunno which). ****ed us all up big time. But at least we all got laid.

When I got older, I moved from that town and into a rough neighborhood in south Boston. I was always pretty smart even though I didn't really accept it. For money I worked as a janitor at a community college. One day a professor wrote a very complex math problem on a chalkboard outside his room. Being the genius that I was, I solved it and that lead me to an adventure where I found myself, and my future girlfriend, all because of help from a hairy therapist and my butt chinned best friend.

You are... me?

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
But it's all right, I'm jumping Jack flash
It's a gas, gas, gas


I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag

I was schooled with a strap right across my back


But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas

But it's all right, I'm jumping Jack flash

It's a gas, gas, gas


I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead

I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled

I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread

I was crowned with a spike right through my head

Yeah, yeah, yeah


But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas

But it's all right, I'm jumping Jack flash

It's a gas, gas, gas


Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas


Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas

Jumping Jack flash, it's a gas

[blaise]

You're Jumping Jack Flash.


Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a gangster.

Wow Will, sounds like you had it rough.

Unlike most of your I had an ordinary upbringing in suburban neighborhood with the most normal family you can imagine. My grandfather who immigrated from the old country and cousin (butt ugly, if I do say so) lived with us too. Oh, and i had a great pet dog who lived under the stairs. My father was the most level headed man I ever knew.
