There was a day that I became wealthy. I'll tell you a day. I know that day. I was rich. I was broke. I

Was pissed. I was angry at everybody else, but who?

Myself I had a friend that I loaned money to and I had barely enough and I knew he needed it

And I gave him $1200 and I'm here not able to eat

I'm down to like $25 26 and I'm saying to him calling him and he's not returning my call

And I just need some money. He's ignoring me. I didn't ignore him since I'm pissed. I'm frustrated

In this of all this I'm also pragmatic. I

Got 25 and change call it 26 dollars

What the hell am I gonna do? I don't have any plans for economics. I got overhead that's crazy

I'm living this little tiny apartment for an square feet in Venice, California

So I thought okay when I was totally broke early on when I was 17

I used to save my money up and go to the smorgasbord and load up for the Christmas, you know load up for the week

My life is shaped by a lot of events

What one of the most powerful was somebody doing these kind acts for my family when I was 11 years old

We had a really really tough Thanksgiving where there was no money and no food and

We wouldn't have starved

Always found a way to get something, but we weren't gonna have a Thanksgiving dinner

That's for sure certainly not a feast of any sort

And now my mom and dad at the time were fighting like cats and dogs and

Saying things that once you say them you can never take them back. You know the kind of stuff I'm talking about

About what I should do what I should have believed and I'm scared to death to go home

I don't want to be in the situation to have to go home and say to my daughter
