16. Disciples, Faggots, Odd Future & Other Shock Tactics

December 27, 2011 |  by

Growing up I was scared of few things. One of those few things was The Sixth Sense. The imagery isn’t what really fucked me up; it was that epiphany at the end. It was the reevaluation of what was reality that I had to do when I was having a tough enough time mastering long division.
