Oh, I remember. I also had a real penchant for cutting classes. My parents said that I was tearing them apart, and if I couldn't hack school how could I shred my way through the world? But I didn't give a rip. I wanted a future tailored to my desires; I wanted a slice of life of my own choosing. And whether I was young and trim or old and pruned, I would always look back at my life with nothing by sheer pride due to having hewn it my own way.
