About Me

My name is Anthony Tomanelli. I was born, a baby, in the Bronx. Raised on a steady diet of Pop Tarts and He-Man cartoons, I was ready to take on the world at age 5. I started Pre-K at St. Anthonys School where I attended afternoon classes. My first year was a difficult one. I had to deal with quite a few hardships. Halfway through the school year I suffered a crippling fall down a flight of stairs, fracturing my right shoulder. The children would laugh and taunt me, as they pointed at my cast. They would call me horrible names. Names that only a 5 year old could dream up. Names like Poo Poo Head, Fartnose, and Cocksucker. Oh how they would torment me. Though, much like anything, as time passed, things got better. I graduated from Pop Tarts to whatever sugar filled breakfast cereal my now diabetic parents could pick out at the supermarket, and the Saturday Morning Cartoon Line-Up. Yes, it was Teen Wolf and Pee Wees Playhouse for me. School got better and I began to play baseball for East Yonkers Boys & Girls Club. It was there that I learned the discipline needed to pursue a career in collecting rocks in deep right field. As I grew older, I became less interested in the rocks and more interested in girls. Of course, the more I noticed girls, the more I noticed they weren't noticing me, thus beginning my complex, which of course led to years of chronic masturbation. Oh I dont know, perhaps part of my complex could be attested to the fact that once, when I announced to my parents there was a girl who liked me in my class, my father replied, "Is she blind?" I think that could have something to do with it. Moving on, as a teen I began to play the guitar. I became obsessed with learning the first 30 seconds of every song I knew. To this day I dont think I could play any of them in their entirety. Alas, I consider myself to be a pretty good guitarist. I graduated from St. Anthonys in 1994 and started high school at Cardinal Spellman in the Boogie Down, where I met the girl I am currently living with and have been dating for almost 13 years now. Her name escapes me at the moment. Only a few months into the school year I transferred to good ol' Roosevelt High School in Yonkers. This is where I met the guys that would later become my closest friends. So right now I am living in Hartsdale. I still watch cartoons, I still eat Pop Tarts, and I'm still a Fartnose. I guess not much has changed since I was a child...Well, now I have a really big hog.
