my scars, or why I was not able to pursue a career in modeling

Toni Maticevski: New York Fashion Week Fall 2007

i have two scars of note: One is on my knee. When I was young I got a gnarly scab there somehow and this random lady told me "that's going to be a scar, looks like you won't be a model" and my young self thought, fuck you bitch, this is goin away. nope. so in short, this is why my modeling career ended abruptly.

My second one is on the same knee only lower. I was working with a bunch of wife-beating ex cons in construction landscaping one summer during high school (nice summer job??) and I was operating a compressor (?? what the hell???) and the tail pipe of a compressor gets extremely hot as it turns out.
