I never expected it to be like this. Yes, I did ask for change…and change is what I got. But…this isn't what I wanted. This isn't what I planned…

Just three months ago I was sitting in my small, shitty apartment with Will and Tunny, just after getting fired from my job at the 7-11. Now I'm sitting in an even smaller, shittier loft that I share with my new friends.

The city isn't quite the Jingletown I always dreamed of. It has its up's and down's. But as Will went on to raise a child with his girlfriend and Tunny decided to join the army, I knew I needed to find my own life. Sometimes I wonder if I made a mistake by moving into a new environment so quickly. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to stay home.

I've done a lot of shit in the past three months, but I feel that only one thing has truly changed my life.

As I lay down half-naked next to Jimmy after a hardcore night, I started to reflect on everything that's happened to me in the city, and wonder how it all began…
