The Other Side Monologue
The world is a complete mess. Since I decided to stop hanging with my droogs and "growing up", things have gotten much worse. I'm on "the other side" now. The adult side. And I simply don't understand youth nowadays. They are more violent than ever. In my days, we used to be pretty bad, but not as much as them. They'll kill you if they can. Their main aim is to hurt, it's not even to get things from you anymore. They enjoy seeing people suffer.
What's incredible is that they start younger now. I don't know what goes on in their minds, but it's really scary, because they are the future. I just hope that someday, like me, they'll leave those lives behind and move on from that. I was lucky that things ended well for me. I'm a free person, I have a

I guess that's what happens when you grow up. I'll be lying if I said that I don't miss anything from that life. That feeling of adrenaline, of feeling like the world belonged to you. There's nothing like that. But I'm different now, and I wouldn't change a thing.
I got married a couple of years ago. I met her through Pete. She is good friends with his wife, and we have a lot in common. She loves classical music, and she is the most beautiful devotchka you can imagine. I know it sounds hound-and-horny, but I love her. We have a little son. His name is James but we call him JJ. He's brilliant, that kid.
It's amazing how you can teach these little ones the stuff you like and they'll just follow you, because they look up to you. I want to shelter him from the outside. I wish there was a way for him to skip the teenage years and just move on to the next stage. But I know that I can't, and that he's going to live that, no matter what. I just hope I thought him right, I can't stop him from growing up, but I can trust that he'll do what's right. I know I ended up pretty well, but I spent some horrible times, and I paid for everything I

    We arrived in 1905. Crowds of people left the boat, thunderous voices roared as we walked. We were unaware of where we were or where we were heading. As I looked towards her I saw how afraid she was and held her hand. We followed the orders that were being shouted at us and made our way to the first doctor.…

    Step by wicked step, my boots sank further and further into the thick, red-tinged land as if the devil himself were dragging my body straight into the depths of hell. The rhythmic squelching stabbed through my rubber soles, radiating pain throughout my soul as it seared everything in its path. Squelch, squelch, squish. My tempo was interrupted by those cursed boots refusing to budge from the stubborn terrain. As if taunting me, the earth unhooked my feet from the damned soil…

    The bitter night Avah was killed the whole town was out celebrating. The Spring Festival was an annual affair and only the most isolated of persons would have not been there. It was a festival meticulously planned out by those intrigued in such matters and each detail was carried out to exact perfection. The Humphrey family would perform a skit each year at exactly six-thirty, the mayor would grace the audience with a well-planned speech at six-forty-five. At seven o’clock the potluck dessert would be brought out by the women and then once a half hour had passed, enough time for the people to converse with each other, the festival games would begin.…

    My father trotted up to the dart game, like he was a big shot. I requested if I could play at least once. He said “sure thing.” As I walked up to the stand with the dart already on the table, I thought I was ready to throw it at the rubbery balloon. I closed my dark brown eyes and squinted very tight at the only balloon I wanted.…

    This dojo, which smelled of sweat that would make people pinch their noses and curse out loud before they even reach the door is a familiar sight to me. But the sound wasn't right. As much as i hated those stinky brat (That only came to hit on my distant cousin), training just didn't feel the same without them, the worst part of this eerie silence is probably how it keep remind me i'm about to sell grandfather's dojo to pay that 50.000$ dollar debt my good-for-nothing failure of a father left behind after his death. Ren : "I'm sorry, i hope you can forgive me in heaven, grandfather, but i really have no other choice..."…

    My firat Job

    It all begins with the famous phrase, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" As children, we think the words "growing up" mean becoming like mom and dad. It means having a job, being able to cook dinner, and knowing how to pay bills. We are too young to understand the real concept behind those two dreadful words. If only someone had told me the truth, I could have prepared for the shock. The phases of growing up are like a date gone wrong. They start off real nice and eventually smack you in the face. I remember back in preschool when there used to be nap time. Oh how I took it for granted! I'm not even sure if I know what the word "sleep" means now. I was always looking forward to driving and having my first real job. Growing up is not what I expected it to be.…

    But may be it’s parents, rather than their children, who have changed. Now a generation of permissive parents has made it easy for the generation of ex-rebels to return to the fold. Some parents do everything possible to tempt their children back to the family homestead. Loneliness is tended to push parents and their post-teen children closer together.…
