I
went to Saint Joseph’s School in Salem, Massachusetts for all 8 years plus
kindergarten and also spent one long, agonizing year at Saint John’s
Preparatory School my freshman year of high school. All that religion got me

When
two people decide to end a relationship there are two ways to do it. One
involves a single good quick and painless chop that severs the tie and the
other is when one you decides that they want to TWIST THE KNIFE…
Surely somebody has got
the DIRT on you!
When
you fall in love with a singer and it fails…

I’m
a big fan of all the usual suspects: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who,
Eric Burdon and the Animals, The Doors and Led Zeppelin are probably at the top
of my list. Lou Reed is there, too!
Pearl
Jam, Green Day, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana are all influences as well
as Big Poppa, Tupac, Ice Cube, Ice – T, Snoop, Dre, House of Pain, Cypress
Hill, Bushwick Bill (hey that rhymes!), Dre, Wu Tang… I could go on and on…
SOMETHING IN MY GENES
falls under the category of drugs & alcohol. My most popular subjects to
write about are (in order from most to least): 1. Inspiring, 2. Internal
Struggle, 3. Chomskian, 4. Love, 5. Heartbreak, 6. State of the World, 7.
Relationships, 8. Funny, 9. Depressing and finally number 10. Drugs and
Alcohol. Note: Chomskian refers to the professor from MIT; Dr. Noam Chomsky is a dissident who writes about inequality and injustice throughout the world…
“I
create the universe blink by blink” Grendel in John Carpenter’s novel. That is
why one should always visualize grilled cheese!
