The home of homes. I'm I'm going to be. I was in college in 2007, and I had a buddy, we'll just call him Kieran.

Now I'd known Kieran since middle school and he'd always been a bit of a weirdo. He also had to be alternative, but in a way that

felt very force, like he was being different for the sake of being rebellious and different.

Like he'd get into metal and emo bands, but as soon as any of us liked them, then he'd call them crap.

He had a raging hate boner for Metallica, who he saw as the biggest sellouts of all time,

He had this story that he'd tell about buying a Metallica CD and wiping his
