Takin' a stroll down memory lane w/ a yokel street gang.
Mendicant Pigeon | pdx, or United States | 06/21/2005

At some point decisions are made and actions taken that transform their lives from innocent punks to fledgling adults whose must choose either maturity and a conformist life or the terminal infantilism of the gangster world. Suffice it to say that in the process some people die, some people get hurt before muddled thoughts clear, and love once again raises its fair head only to find...."
