Grades are a problem. On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them.

I believe I was in 8th grade with my friend Nick, who actually went on to produce for me and record my tracks throughout my high school career. We burned it down, and being that we were young a.. little eighth graders, got extremely stoned, and he made a beat and I wrote lyrics. It was called "Liddle Webby" I believe, because that was my first rap name. Lord knows where that track is. I think it has been lost forever...which probably insn't a bad thing because it was during that awkward voice stage during puberty.

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating... ...and you finish off as an orgasm.

Dear Bad Kid In School, Please don't take your education for granted. It may not seem like a big deal to skip a few classes or get a few bad grades, but it is a big deal. If you don't give your all it'll haunt you in the future. Take it from me someone who used to think and act the same way. One day you will look back and think man I should of did better in school. The reality of life hits you hard when you become an adult. Believe me your not gonna go far without a good education. So skipping that class and taking that bad grade may seem okay now. Later it won't be okay it'll be to late.

I really prided myself on my fashionable dress. I had a very independent streak and thought, Im going to dress super cool and different than everybody else and everybody is going to be envious of my cool clothes. But looking back, I realize that nobody was envious and Im sure they were laughing. I really prided myself when I was in eighth grade for not owning a pair of jeans, and I never wore jeans for a year and a half. I wore a tie to school every day, although I didnt have to. But then I started moving into kind of like new wave kind of style and was really into thin ties and really baggy pants. And I remember when that movie Pretty In Pink came out, some people in my school said you totally remind me of that guy, Ducky. And I thought that was a compliment.
