Scar Tissue Pg 35-104

So much has happened in the last 69 pages, and I know I won't be able to do the book justice by trying to summarize it all. Heck, I can't even remember everything that's happened. While he hasn't gotten into singing quite yet, he has had quite a few interesting adventures so far. Tony has experimented with lots of drugs, most of which have led him further down this path of destruction. He has experimented with styles, drastically changing up his hair and clothes every couple of months (styles so far include a flattop, a mohawk, and a mullet). He has experimented with girls, from seriously dating good girls to randomly hooking up with less than respectable ladies he meets at nightclubs. Through it all, he has a couple close friends who seem to always be there when he's in trouble. Speaking of trouble, Tony's life eventually gets so out of hand that his own father kicks him out of the house and he's forced to crash with some of those reliable friends for a while. He jumps around from having his own place, living in his car, living with friends, or even living in his friend's backyard when he finally gets kicked out there.

Tony has been through a lot, but through it all he manages to keep his carefree, outlandish personality. Tony is the manifestation of "going with the flow." He goes wherever life takes him and makes the best of it, or what he thinks is best at least. I have a feeling what he thinks is best is ultimately going to have some pretty rough consequences.
