There i was before ah-moon passed to the afterworld
There i was before my uncle got married (finally)
There i was before joints, blunts, and weed
There i was before Sarah Lawrence College and all else therein
There i was before the estrangement
There i was before the decentralization of the Guans/Chans
There i was before 9/11
There i was before "four years of B.S"
There i was before i met fariya
There i was before i met Nelson Wong
There i was before Ridgewood and IS.93
There i was before i met rosmary
There i was before my two years with lisa
There i was before i wrote a single song or lyric
There i was before my conversion to and fallout with christianity
There i was before my mother began working for the USPS
There i was before dreamcast
There i was before playstation
There i was before SNES
There i was before all the marilyn manson, tori amos, alanis morissette, nas and mos def
There i was before all the rock, pop, and hip hop
There i was before Magic: The Gathering
There i was before Hippo found me

The past twenty-one years have been absolutely incredible.
I pray only for the faith and courage and wisdom to meet the next twenty-one years head on.
Thank you all for the well wishes.
I received the best thing i could've ever wanted - my life back.
Who knew it would come out of adrenaline, big pimping, and vandalism?
regardless,
having twenty-one years of tragedy, comedy, drama, and God re-played in 30 minutes
in the winter chill was... knee-buckling, speechlessness, and humbling.
