Then @ 17/18 - 20 yrs old or so - I was down with the "Bayview Boys" (named after 'The Bayview Projects' in Brooklyn where I grew up)

Scary names, huh?

LOL

We did get into some fucked up shit though. Lots of dead and jailed peeps in my past

My best friend got shot in the head in front of me ... by another one of our friends. He didn't die. Actually, it made him feel invincible after that. The friend that shot him simply 'vanished'.

I moved out of Brooklyn for good about 8 months later and put that life behind me.

The crazy good/bad old days!

Shit, that was about 18 years ago!

I've come a long way baby!
