Have you ever just had your ego go from through the roof, down through the floor in a matter of seconds? On my commute home this past Friday, an Avril Lavigne song came out and I was rocking out.

For me, it was the summer after 8th grade. The Dark Knight was in theaters and a few of my … Continue reading Hoodrat Stuff w/ my Friends
