highschool [de-evo]lution

9th grade. black tshirts. sometimes ove a long sleeve white tshirt. black/white checked "spicoli's".








10th grade. i found this green sweater and for some reason started wearing it like it was a jacket...adorning it with all of my buttons. and tacking on a sonich youth patch with safety pins. spicoli's have now been brutally torn...and sharpied.









junior year. my darkest year. my grandfather died: my first actual death of someone i cared about. my uncle's are all divorced and raging alcoholics at this point. my aunt gets cancer. [i live in the same square mile as my entire family] my mom makes her entire family's problems her problems and so becomes really depressed. their shit inadvertently became my shit. plus school was awful. alot of my friends moved/graduated/stopped hanging out with me. so what did i do? get really nihilistic? I WISH. junior year is my darkest year because that's when my obsession with the sixties morphed into a convoluted hippie phase. I did little other than troll around in the woods....listening to 60s brittish psych-folk[which i still like]..wearing awful knit shit: like bajas-and chullo hats. worst of all: tshirts with socially conscious slogans such as "one people one planet". in the first picture i'm at a picnic with my best friend's friend that i hated. in ms paint i made her look like a horse. [i took hardees(carl jr's) to their picnic- i made a really half assed hippie. the second picture is the shameful one.


















senior year. hippie phase over. i wore a blue izod wind breaker that my brother's wife got for me from goodwill everyday. i also wore a burgundy beanie everyday. i now care little about anything, i littered, i smoked, i sat around watching movies/listening to music/eating fast food/ all day long. i was voted "most likely to make a difference." HAH!
