1. Went to college / got out of Chicago. Kids from my side of the tracks in Chicago, they never go to college. They never get out. I did.

Lots of people sacrifice for us everyday. But on a personal note, my mom sacrificed herself for us especially after my dad died. I’m not sure of anything that’s more of an emblem of sacrifice than a single mom raising three kids on her own and doing a damn good job at it. As a kid you don’t really recognize the small things. But I remember ( Read more... )

I don’t think anyone should be anything they’re not. That really drives me crazy when you think someone is something and they turn out to be something else. So in my opinion this question is kind of null and void. If you’re alive, you’re alive. If you’re undead then you’re undead. Just be what you are and be proud of it. And if circumstances ( Read more... )

1. Anytime I’m first back at the house I grew up in. I see my mom. It feels like coming home in a good way. Then it starts to feel like coming home in a not so good way. But for those first few minutes, it’s near perfect ( Read more... )

Honestly, I think I’m a little of both. I can be a team player, but as Hotch has pointed out over and over to me, I’ve been known to jump off the deep end all by myself when I feel it’s the right thing to do. I can be un predictable and in a split second decision I’m on my own, in my mind at least. It always goes back to the whole trust issue ( Read more... )

University course books are probably the most over-priced items for sale on the planet. I mean you get stuck paying seventy bucks for a ratty book with a bright yellow ‘USED’ sticker on it that you’re only gonna use for one semester. But it’s a life lesson once you’re out on your own without your parents paying for everything. Welcome to the ( Read more... )

Gotta say I’d prefer the life I live right now where there’s hardly ever a dull moment. I like to keep busy. I like what I do for a living. On a bad day we usually end the reign of some evil, evil, fucked up people. And on a good day we do so while saving lives of potential victims. I wouldn’t call myself a hero but… I do what I can to make ( Read more... )
