I had a very easy life when I was little. My mother would coddle me and my father would encourage my irrational behavior. I had every kids dream.

I used cans of spray paint I found to write my name everywhere. JOHN on top of a bakery window. JOHN on the door of the barbers. A big JOHN written in the middle of the street, absolutely impossible to miss.

I had arrived, and wanted to bring my presence into this world with a bang.
