    My parents didn't teach me one thing valuable. I had to learn on my own, or from strangers.

    I had to learn to tell the truth, to shave, to do my own laundry, to do my dishes, to pay my taxes, to get a job, and to be a man. No father, and my mother is a piece of wandering garbage. Though I guess if you think about it, just because they had me, doesn't make them my parents.
