Naomi Klein

[Perry Noid]

I had a cowpoke step father walk into my room while I was listening to
Weezer tell me to "shut off that n#%!er noise!"

Last I heard he lives in a trailer in the middle of the Mogollon and buries
ammo in his backyard so the gov't don't find it. Glad ma ditched him long
ago.

My actual father is schizophrenic. He is on medication now and doing well
but there was wacky times for me when he wasn't on them.
