The Dirty Chronicles

    When I got released to the Toronto bail program I was stuck with all kinds of conditions and I had to be back in court, so we picked up and took off. We were going to head back to Vancouver and then back down south.   We were tired of being on the road, so when we were in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, we decided to go downtown and check it out, which ended up being completely fucked, I’m lucky I didn’t go to jail for a while. We ended up meeting some punk chick that knew Drew, so she took us back to her place and said we could stay there for as long as we wanted. This girl, two of her guy friends and I, ended up going to the bar, leaving Syd and another one of her guy friends behind.   I don;t remember what the situation was, but some fuckin moron in the bar picked a fight with me and I ended up smashing a chair off his fuckin head. I remember feeling pretty proud of myself because the guy was way bigger than me. So I leave the three of them at the ba...

     We ended up getting Dorothy to give us a ride to Truro where we ended up getting stuck, so I called my dad and asked him to come pick us up. He really didn’t want to come but I think my mom talked him into it because I had told them that they were going to be grandparents, ha!   We spent a night or two with them and then headed to Toronto. To our total surprise, my dad bought us train tickets, so that was awesome. I love my dad.   Well we were back on Queen Street again. I had told Syd that I was going to do this and do that but I just started to get super drunk all the time. Hey I was only 18.   Syd went for an ultrasound and found out that we were going to have twins so that came as a real shock! We decided the best thing for us to do was for Syd to have an abortion, she was four and a half months pregnant, which was almost too late to have the abortion. It was a two day appointment.   The first day she went in, they had to p...

   I hadn’t seen my dad for a couple years and they were living in Moncton at the time so we decided to stop there for a couple days.   I bought a couple caps of PCP for the trip and I’m glad Syd decided not to take any of it because I couldn't tell which way was left or right by the time it came to get on the train. If she had done some we probably would have ended up on the wrong train with Why going somewhere else or something like that. Next thing I know, we are in Moncton. I had to call my grandmother to come pick us up because my dad was at work, but I’m glad Syd got to meet my grandma. She took us back to her place and made us sandwiches and was super nice to Syd. Syd really liked her.   We stayed at my dad’s house for the night where Wyd met my dorky little brother and mom. Syd thought my mom was a lot like her mom and didn’t like her, but that was no surprise. The next day my dad gave us a ride to Halifax. This time Halifax ended up being super shi...

    Well, we made it over to the east side where we ran into a few people we knew. Wet Brain Zack and his girlfriend Vanessa were there, strung out of heroin as they would be in Vancouver. I still wasn’t into heroin much at this time in my life, so we weren’t doing a lot of it, although we started to bang coke again.   We didn’t stay too long here before we took off back to Montreal. I don’t remember the trip back to Montreal. The next thing I remember was being back on St. Laurent and Ave De Pins hanging out and shooting tons of coke while living behind the Jean Coutu in some cubby hole. IT was funny, one night I just laid down to go to sleep when two drunk girls came up to the entrance of the cubby hole to take a piss. It was dark so they couldn’t see me but I could totally see them. I should have said something sick and twisted to them.   It was starting to get cold and we were fed up doing coke all day, every day. I was eighteen now so that meant I...

    When we got back to San Francisco we ran into Derek, who we had met in Atlanta, and some other kids were there as well that Syd knew; Wano, Kirk and Nell. This is what I love about traveling. Out of the blue someone that you know will show up. It might be a couple weeks, or a couple years since you see this person, but when you run into them, it’s awesome. The shitty part though, is that sometimes you will meet someone you really get along with but you will never see them again. There are quite a few of us that travel around like this.    Instead of hanging out on Haight street we were hanging out down on Market and Sixth by the Tenderloin, a part of town where everyone has crack and guns.    Fuck man, one night I had got in a fight with Syd and passe dout right on Market by myself. At about three in the morning, this fuckin Mexican gangster kid waked me up and asked me if I know where to get any weed. So I roll over annoyed as fuck and t...

    I’m trying to rack my brain as to what happened to Trent but for the life of me I can’t remember. Syd and I hitch-hiked to Cheyanne, Wyoming and jumped on I-80 west. We were going to head back over to San Francisco but made a stop in Salt Lake for a couple hours since that place fuckin sucks. Fuckin Mormons everywhere, fuck them! They’re fucked! I can’t believe it , but years later my buddy, Wet Brain Zack, got smoked by a car here when he was flying a sign. Out of all the places to die. To top it off, he probably got smoked by a Mormon. Fuck.   From Salt Lake we headed over to Reno. I really liked Reno, we had a good time here, although I really don’t remember much. A couple years later, I went to Las Vegas and I thought Reno was way better. In these two cities you can eat for dirt cheap. You can get a whole meal for a few bucks, so that’s cool. They want you spending your money in the casinos, not on food. I went gambling a few times but I stuck out like a...

   Syd heard about this little college town called Ann Arbor, so we decided to go there. We had a really good timethere for the few days we stayed and the people were really nice and generous. The only thing that really sticks out in my mind from there was that this guy took us to a restaurant and told us he would pay for the meal but by the time the check showed up he was nowhere to be found. I was pissed at first; I thought we were going to get in shit for it. We had this really cute waitress that was serving us so we had to explain to her that this guy told us he was going to pay for us but he ran off. I’m glad she believed us. We felt really bad for her, she was almost in tears telling us that she was going to have to pay for it now. We had some money on us and paid half of the bill. I went looking fo the guy and was going to fuck him up, but I didn’t find him.   We decided to head to Columbus, Ohio which wasn’t too far south west from Ann Arbor. So it was a shor...
