A Friday night walk through downtown Bangor turned into an unexpected look at the city after dark. I ended up on the streets later than planned and watched City Councilor Joe Leonard spend a good half hour talking with a transgender bouncer, smiling the entire time. Nearby, men in...

Nothing motivates you like meeting the future version of yourself and hating what you see. I had worked a bunch of menial, minimum-wage jobs while I was in high school. I was a dishwasher, a bag boy at a supermarket, and a busboy. For reasons I explain in the book, I moved out during my senior year of high school and moved in with a friend and his father. I had to work these jobs to help support myself. A lot of my coworkers were guys in their early or mid-20s. At the time, I thought they were cool. I was in high school, and they'd buy beer for my friends and me, get us weed, sometimes other drugs. Once in a while, I'd see one of these guys at the same high school parties I was going to. Even as a 17-year-old kid, I recall seeing a 25-year-old coworkers pull up on a beat-up dirt bike and try to pick up high school girls. I thought, Is this who I want to be when I’m 25? Am I still going to be working the same kind of job and making $6.75 an hour? That scared me. So I decided to enlist in the Air Force at age 17. I got on a Greyhound bus in California and headed to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. Enlisting was the best decision I'd ever made. It immediately removed me from all the negative influences around me, including the people I had willingly chosen to spend time with and the self-destructive choices I had been making. I stayed in the military for 8 years. Sometimes people read the early chapters of "Troubled" and tell me, “I don’t recognize this person. The teenager I’m reading about seems completely different from the person I’m talking to now. What explains the difference?” The answer is simple. If you spend 8 years in the military, you are going to change. And I needed all 8 of those years to fix my outlook, my priorities, and my personality enough to learn how to behave like a self-sufficient adult.

Alex Proyas on the Commercial failure of 'Dark City' (1998) & its similarities with 'The Matrix' (1999): "Interviewer: Are you surprised by how big a cult film it has become? Proyas: I was surprised it didn't achieve commercial success initially, but I'm happy it has had this long-lasting life after the fact. I was pretty disappointed the studio hadn't really managed to sell the movie in the way that they could have. I don't think they really knew what to make of it quite frankly. The studio put out a trailer that was quite clever. It was completely non-narrative, just music and imagery. The guys who made the trailer specifically wrote a piece of music for the trailer, and the whole thing felt handcrafted and definitely had a personality. I think people were genuinely impressed by it but it didn't explain to them what the movie was or give them an idea of the kind of experience they were going to get. I think it made audiences think it was some kind of a horror movie. As a result people kind of overlooked it in the theaters. I know 99% of the people who loved it and always ask me about it are people who saw it on video years later. How do you feel about the similarities the later 'The Matrix' (1999) has to 'Dark City' (1998)? If I answer that question honestly it sounds like sour grapes because obviously 'The Matrix' did better commercially than 'Dark City' did. 'Dark City' came out a year before 'The Matrix', one of my producers on 'Dark City' worked on 'The Matrix', and the Wachowskis saw 'Dark City' a good nine months before 'Dark City' came out in the theaters, so they had a good run at picking the more important cherries off the cake. I feel like it's a question I can't answer in any more detail than that, other than to say that maybe the Wachowskis should be asked the question rather than me."

These young ladies thought it would be fun to walk around in the middle of the night, they wound up at the park were just hanging out on the swings, chatting amongst themselves. Then they heard people surround them with guns drawn, ordering them onto the ground. The people yelling and screaming don’t sound like police but they were too scared to tell. Should they have just ran for it, what’s the worst that could happen? While living in NC, my cousin and I were so bored all the time especially at night, this was before the N64 came out from Nintendo. So at night we would steal a few beers from the fridge and would walk around the middle of the night sipping some beers and seeing where we end up. While out this night we saw the same old Chevy truck keep driving by. In the third pass they started yelling aggressively and one waved a rifle that was sitting in the trunk bed. We figured it was just a few drunk locals with nothing better to do. So we ended up deciding we needed to walk back home. We saw them again and we were close to a gas station so I decided we should run to the gas station in case these guys try to get cute. They ended up going to the gas station too, we were nervous because we thought they were coming in for us. But one of them grabbed some sodas and a Slim Jim and they left. Sometimes people do things like this just for fun, they think it’s funny to try to freak people out, I have a feeling these girls were just a victim of a few bored teenagers and weren’t in any real danger.
