My summer in Pinecrest

My time in Bayshore area was the official coming out of Mike Young my alter ego. As I mention that same summer I also hung out at Pinecrest project just up the hill from Bayshore. After my confrontation with Billy I felt unstoppable. The radio I got beat up over came from this project . The rent a cop as we called them didn’t know me yet so I was able to roam freely around the project during the day and steal by night. The break ins I did were in middle class homes on the other side of Pinecrest road and some were in Bayshore. At the time I reasoned that I was like Robin Hood ! Taking from the rich to give to the poor which was me. I realise now that the things I did then were wrong but back then I justified them. After my short time in Bayshore I had more confidence with girls and when I wore out my welcome in Bayshore I hit Pinecrest with a vengeance! My friend Dom had a girl in the projects close to Bayshore so we would go there once in a while . I remember one time we were coming home from there drunk and Dom decided it would be funny to throw around lit matches. This of course started a field fire . That was very unusual behaviour for Dom but I think he was having girl issues then . The fire trucks came but no one ever found out who did that . The security guards started being more aggressive after that so I avoided them when I would see them coming. I think Dom was having a good time in Pine crest too. If Dom had a chance to wet his pecker he took it ! Such was the case with Shamira’s Mom , whom we referred to as old lady Shamira. Then there was Diane Lavern . His relationship with Diane came to an end when one weekend when she got so drunk she vomited in the toilet flushing her partial that replace several of her front teeth. Diane’s family was very poor and for that summer she didn’t get her partial replace. I felt very sad for Diane at 15 years old this is an emotional scar that must of followed her for the rest of her life .When I lost touch with her she was sniffing glue and doing any drugs she could find . It was through her boyfriend that summer that I first took Purple Microdot acid . We hugn out sometime but she was out of control and brought to much attention to me. It was when hanging with her that the security guards first checked me for ID. Not thinking for a moment I told them my name was Mike Young. As lbad uck would have it they had me on there list since the radio incidence at there down town office. That day they had me escorted of the property but I returned at dark. My first girlfriend at Pinecrest was Suzan . She was eccentric but very nice . Sadly she moved away not long after we met . I was then that I decided to finally ask Theresa to go on a date with me. I had two Alice cooper tickets and to my shock she agreed. That whole week I was so exited or should I say Paul was exited ! Theresa knew nothing about my alter ego Mike and to tell you the truth around Theresa I was still the shy clumsy Paul she always knew. That night at the concert I bought some Microdot acid and took it thinking it would give me courage. Instead I got so high I don’t think I said one word to her . When we got back to the project she went home to bed . I was still very high and hallucinating when I ran into Jack Babinau an old Bully from high school. I don’t think he remembered me but it seemed he was coming back fro the concert too . We went to his house for a bit wich turned out to be a strange experience . Not because I was hanging out with a guy who dropped kicked me in the back when we were on the bus ! The reason was that as I sat in the living room where he left me alone I wasn’t alone at all. In fact in the corner sitting on a chair was a biker looking guy with two gun belts across his chest and holding a shot gun on his knees. He just sat there looking angry and staring at the door that I would have to go through to get out of there. Finally Jack found what he came for and we left together . I think Jack was scared of him also because later that night He ask me to go back and get his coat and I said no” way I’m going back in there “and he said” me either“! As I started coming off the drugs I realised that I had ruined my chance with Theresa . I felt like an idiot! Not long after I met Sharon . Sharon was a good person and we dated for a couple of weeks . She was a really good kisser . Sharon was the kind of person that if you met her you would feel comfortable talking about anything with. I don’t know for sure why we broke up . I think it was because she talked a lot about her ex boyfriends which made her seem more experience then me so I was intimidated . She was an awesome person and she really loved her brother Roger! She talked about him all the time . He was her idol . Not long after we broke up I introduced her to Dom. Setting anyone up with Dom the womanizer seems mean but they actually hit it off and eventually married. Sadly I missed that wedding . I regret that very much and I regret not keeping in touch with both my best friend Dom and Sharon over the years . Once they started dating I was going to redirect my attention to Theresa but just at that Time Roger started dating her so I didn't persue her. Around that time the security guards chased me around the project and right out into the field Dom had lit on fire.I ducked and he went flying over me but his partner got me. I was escorted of the property once again.That was my queue that it was time for a change so I went home where my parents lived and pack my back pack. Not long after I headed to Toronto. A lot happen in that short little summer in Pinecrest. I returned a few times after but it just reminded me that I still loved Theresa so I stop going there.My time in Toronto would bring a few adventures of its own.
