About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

This is more of a resume rather than an explanation of my character. All I can say about my character is that at four and a half to five years old my best friend used to give me a bloody nose everyday. I didn't understand it. I was brought up by parents that didn't preach violence even though they were native Brooklynites. Even though my father played many schoolyard sports and organized sports and even won a football scolarship to Bridgeport College. I would return home every day and cry to my mother about my bloody nose. She was very comforting and understanding. She just told me that Larry didn't mean it, and that he had a problem because his daddy was "gone." Then one day my mother didn't open the door to let me in and cry. In fact she locked the door and told me "Now you have to go back to Larry and give him a bloody nose." I was confused and hurt. I really didn't understand the mixed message of non-violence/violence. But, I'll tell you one thing, I'd be damned if Larry was going to keep me out of my own home! So, I got up from the stoop (Brooklyn people understand this word), went to Larry's door, called him down to play, and the minute he opened that door I cold cocked that SOB righ in the nose. I stood there in amazement, watching the blood pour out of his nose, listening to him cry for his mamma. I then realized how life was going to be. I don't like violence, and I try to avoid it at all costs. I don't like people who want to, excuse the expression, "Fuck with me." I do everything I can to keep the peace. But, if you take advantage of all the times I try to be understnading and forgivefull, and you back me up in a corner against a wall, then I 'll rip your *#&@ing eyes and heart out! Family, Honor, Loyalty, An Honest Days Work and Real Friends is what I'm about.
I was born in Brooklyn, NY, 11-29-1955, traveled in many parts of the world, and lived on 3 different continents (North America - Brooklyn, New York, Newport News Virginia, Europe - Ostia Lido Rome, Rapallo Genova, Pordenone, Italy, Wiesbaden Germany, and Asia - Okinawa, Japan.

Below is a sample from the first album I bought by John Denver, and have ever respected him since. Wish he was still here with us. IF YOU STILL BELIEVE IN WAR PLEASE READ:
THE BOXby Lascelles Abercrombie Recited by John Denver on his album "Poems, Prayers & Promises"Once upon a time, in the land of Hush-A-Bye, Around about the wondrous days of yore, They came across a kind of box Bound up with chains and locked with locks And labeled "Kindly do not touch; it's war."A decree was issued round about, and all with a flourish and a shout And a gaily colored mascot tripping lightly ... Don't fiddle with this deadly box, Or break the chains, or pick the locks. And please don't ever play about with war.The children understood. Children happen to be good And they were just as good around the time of yore. They didn't try to pick the locks Or break into that deadly box. They never tried to play about with war.Mommies didn't either; sisters, aunts, grannies neither 'Cause they were quiet, and sweet, and pretty In those wondrous days of yore. Well, very much the same as now, And not the ones to blame somehow For opening up that deadly box of war.But someone did. Someone battered in the lid And spilled the insides out across the floor. A kind of bouncy, bumpy ball made up of guns and flags And all the tears, and horror, and death that comes with war.It bounced right out and went bashing all about, Bumping into everything in store. And what was sad and most unfair Was that it didn't really seem to care Much who it bumped, or why, or what, or for.It bumped the children mainly. And I'll tell you this quite plainly, It bumps them every day and more, and more, And leaves them dead, and burned, and dying Thousands of them sick and crying. 'Cause when it bumps, it's really very sore.Now there's a way to stop the ball. It isn't difficult at all. All it takes is wisdom, and I'm absolutely sure That we can get it back into the box, And bind the chains, and lock the locks. But no one seems to want to save the children anymore.Well, that's the way it all appears, 'cause it's been bouncing round for years and years In spite of all the wisdom wizzed since those wondrous days of yore And the time they came across the box, Bound up with chains and locked with locks, And labeled "Kindly do not touch; it's war."PLEASE READ: LET ME GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT.
