I feel like I’ve been given a place in life–expectations of me–that it’s useless fighting. So I don’t bother. I’m the guy they all think I am; fighting, smoking, drinking. Because what else is Roman Lombardi but a troubled teen? No one’s convinced I’ve got anything going for me. I take what–and who–I want when I want it, and never think about anything more than a couple of hours in the future.
