I remember deciding fuck being broke one day when I was leaving ninth grade and I needed to make a phone call. I had four nickels and I asked some old man if you would be nice enough to give me a quarter for four nickels so I could call for a ride. I very clearly said four nickels and that I was one short. He said, "sure," I gave him the change he counted it and said "there's only 20 cents here." I told him I knew that and I told him that, I was just a little short to make a call for a ride home. I don't even remember what he said but the look he gave me was just so fucking cold; I will never forget it. Over a nickel. I decided right then and there that I'd never be in a position to depend on anybody for SHIT.
