drinking led to violence and time at the kent county jail. two months earlier he was arrested then later convicted of domestic violence and sentenced to 30 days. that time the victim was his 18-year-old sister. apparently my sister came down to my room, was mad at me for something. i was hammered. so i grabbed her by the throat and threw her across my room, apparently. the next thing i knew, i was getting put in handcuffs. this is what happens. this is what happens. then you go eat your vegetables and go school. i ve been so caught up in hanging out with my friend and being stupid and doing drugs that i lose sight of what i really should be doing with my life. denbraven says the forced sobriety that comes with incarceration along with living in h2-a helped him to become himself again. h2-a, outer slider. i try to be everyone s friend. like, for the most part i try to give everybody a chance, no matter who they are.
