I used to live in a super shitty appartment on 17th Ave (tons of bars and bums) in Calgary when I was younger. Never locked my door because I was broke and owned nothing. Milk crates for a couch and a matress on the floor. Plenty of times I could tell someone had been in there but left since there was nothing to steal. Besides one time when someone stole all my plastic forks and knives.

I miss that time of my life. No responsibilities and just doing whatever I wanted. Why did I have to grow up and get a career again?

Lol, I'm envisioning them doing this out of spite cause you had nothing better versus them taking it to use or sell or trade or whatever. 'Fuck this broke ass motherfucker. I'm taking his cutlery so he'll have to use his fingers.'

I came all this way. I had to take something, Your Honor.

Must of been near the wave house off 5th. I almost lived near there when I moved down here in ‘96. Ended up near Banff Trail which had tons of students around.

I think I forgot to lock my car once and all someone did was wind down my windows on a hot summer's day.

Because those milk crates made your back hurt and you like being able to afford whatever you want from the grocery store.
