Instead of getting drunk outside, I do it at home. It comes to the same. My friends, Fernando, Kevin, Lee San and I play games, and then we make a challenge, like - whoever loses has to bottom up the beer. Madness, I swear. Some guys I know get drunk somewhere, all wasted, no one can get 911 from the first try. Horrible things… What else can happen? Like this, at home mom slaps me a couple of times and I am brand new. And why drink anyway? My parents are lucky to have me. The problem is that they don’t know how much they are lucky to have me as their son. They are afraid of the internet and television. They check the music I listen to and the comics I read. My mom waits a chance when I go to the bathroom; she thinks I didn’t notice it.
