when i first moved to brockton i had no idea how bad this city was. I was a small town kid in a HUGE new school with lots of new faces. i made freinds with this kid that lived arround the corner from me. we stayed freinds all through highschool even after i moved to the next town. by that time we had already started partying in the graveyard, thats were we met some more people like us, metal heads who like to party. eventualy my buddie started hanging out with this guy we'll call him V, and after a while the 3 of us became real good freinds. so it was only natural that we all took the drug plunge together. sudenly weed and booze wasn't enugh, and we were sneaking off to do coke, and then the pills started. Perks,valume, xanax, k-pins, aderal.....ect. we climed right up the drug ladder, right to the fucking top rungs. I'm sitting in a hotel watching my BEST freind go through 1,200$ worth of rock. I was all messed up on oxycotin, and i just thought it was a fad and it would pass. I tried heroin, and i liked it. after that i thought screw this i need out NOW. i quit cold turkey.... i had no one, my G.F. was gone and i was all alone with my withdrawls. My other 2 freinds kept doing H, and mixing it with rock on a few occations. i had mentaly prepaired myself for one of my freind's dying. they had no intentions of stopping, and they didn't want to listen to me.... i was clean. we drifted apart, and i made new freinds. Through it all V was still my freind, he would call me to take bone crusies at 2 am and i would go. Then one night i was on a bus coming home and he text me. he wanted to hang out, i couldn't get to his house, cause it was on the other side of town... in retrospect i would have walked there if i knew.... they found him the next day dead. he was trying to quit and was 3 weeks out. He was like a brother to me, we had so many good times. now i go and visit his grave, smoke a blunt and listen to music. he was a great influence on my life musicly he showed me stuff i would never had found.

Rest in peace. Vin, i'll se ya on the other side bro.
