frank's view
( warning - smoking, foul language, sex )

"You know, life's a bitch sometimes but that's the beauty of it. Letting something fuck you, then you fuck it over twice as hard. But my life, I thought it was going pretty decent for me and my kids . . . who I'm proud of and because every single one of them reminds me a little bit of me.

Fiona, my rock ----- huge help and has all the best qualities of her mother, except she's not a raging psycho bitch. Then there's lip, smart as a whip. Straight A's and the honor roll. Boy's definitely going somewhere.

Sarahjean, my second oldest. I wanted to just name her Sarah but Monica wanted to add the Jean which I think is still stupid till this day. Anyway, she's smart. She'll chew you up and spit you out. Total opposite of Fiona, has all her mother's worst parts and my good ones ----- whatever that means.

Ian, industrious, conscientious, ambitious, incredible work ethic. Don't have a clue where he got that from. Wants to be a paratrooper. Knows how to disembowel an enemy with a roll of dimes and an old gym sock.

Carl . . . um, I don't really know that much about Carl. Oh ----- ! Loves animals. Always dragging home some poor stray he found, taking them up to his room.

Ah, Debbie, sent by God, total Angel. Raises money for UNICEF year round, some of which she actually turns in.

Then last but not least, Liam . . . gonna be a star. I'm no biologist, but he looks a little bit like my first sponsor. He and the ex were close.

Kev and Veronica though, fantastic neighbors. There's nothing they won't do for each other or to each other. I never realized how little sex I was having till v and Kev moved next door.

And then there's me, frank gallagher, father, teacher, mentor. Captain of our little ship. We may not have much, but all of us, to a man . . . knows the most important thing in this life . . .

We know how to fucking party!"
