Just wondering, what was the craziest thing you ever did to get moolah to party or put gas, or whatever....I remember as a youngn, my mom almost killed me, because i sold all my levis 501's to get money to party!!! Back in the days, some chinese retailers had several lil shops around town that would give you anywhere from 15 to 25 dollars for your 501's. My friend got so desperate to get money, that he would go to the projects, and steal 501's from the clotheslines.

The craziest thing I did to get moolah to party, put gas or whatever? Work. All kinds of jobs. Even the jobs they let kids do -- and there still are some.

I sold my old video games to a pawn shop once..just to get a few bucks, so I could party in Juarez.

Good times, good times.

I remember one time scraping change together to go party in Juarez and hitting up those coin machines they have at the supermarket. I had two fistfuls of coins heading into that place. Embarrassing as hell.

Donating plasma to go on a date. That was a low one.

Buying books cheap off the internet and then selling them to the UTEP bookstore at a profit. Don't feel bad about that, because they deserve to get ripped off anyway.

Yup....

You know, I found out about the EPPD site because a friend of mine emailed me with a link to the page, and asked me to scroll the pages and see if I recognized anyone. Damned if I did not spot another friends brother!

So, you never know, and I never pretend to know their history, or judge their character... unless they have 'Anger Is A Gift' tattooed on their neck, or 'Raul Gonzales' appears in the prostitution page with makeup, painted eyebrows and long hair with hilights.
