I would hope that old friends "remember" me at all. It seems that so many years have passed by since those school days; it's almost surreal, astonishing that I have lived so long in such a harsh world, and yet, it is tragic, because those are happier days un-revisited. Maybe if I hadn't of seen so much hard feelings, I might not have could of felt other people's. I was always the sort of fat, chubby funny kid that did weird things, wrote amazingly creative stories about Bambi, and fell in "love" with every girl within a 20 mile radius. But that aside, I should hope that everyone remember me the same way I always have been... smart, creative, a little strange perhaps, more like an eccentricity, cunning, and most of all funny and kind. Maybe I'm a little more devious in my humor these days, or my thoughts, something of a dark humorist, and perhaps that old smile and chubby brown cheeks dont quite make it all the way to my eyes anymore, but essentially deep down I'm still that same kid that seemed to rip his pants once a week at school, and who ate everything... literally. I always wanted to be a rock star when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a stupid idea. As it turns out, they were right. Usually these days I'm less adventurous in my old age, and like to spend my time relaxing by painting or playing music. Occasionally I dally with writing, but sadly I have never finished any literature enough for publication. It's kind of a drawback to my creativity.. a caveat; I can only be creative on one subject of interest for only so long before I lose interest and move on to something else. I suppose over time I have lived in some interesting places. Hickam Hawaii, Papillion Nebraska, San Antonio Texas. I suppose I was lucky enough to have such experiences because my parents were military, but in a way it is slightly tragic that it meant I never had a life long "best friend", can barely remember any of my teachers, and lack any deep friendships that have existed longer than 8 years. On the other hand, I can pick up and go just about anywhere in a heartbeat with little effort, and I have become something of a master at re-inventing myself. The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Kasia Singer, because I had a huuuuge crush on her!. Then again, I also had a major crush on Kim Moore so I'd probably like to see her again. Or Kim Stanford, boy oh boy did I fancy her! Of course, now that I recollect, I sure had a thing for white girls didn't I? Still do I guess. (I'm not married by the way). Other than that, I'd really like to see people like Brian Cornelius, Chad Roberson, Patrick Roberts, Scott Maynard and Tim Mason, my best friends back in those days. Scott I ran into a while back on Myspace, and Tim apparently has LIVED in San Antonio for years, but I've never met with either of them. There are tons of people out there who probably remember me, but I don't really remember all of them I'm sad to say, and most of them will probably come out of the woodwork someday should I become rich and/or famous. Which I won't mind, because I absolutely love holding on to my youth and those old connections, so that would be a very special connection indeed. I think it's sad to think back on those days, long and hard, and try to remember people and faces and to wonder about them and to know that some of them have not survived this long, or many more will pass from this life long before our paths ever cross again. Life is a tragedy. For the most part, I am a biologist (according to my degree anyway). I like animals, that is, I like to study them, not take care of them, other than my Dog Fuzz E, who passed away last year at the ripe ol age of 18 human years. Beyond that, there is just my cat "Hemingway". My passion in life is music however, playing, singing, and the like. My style tends to be around that sort of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, My Morning Jacket and Pearl Jam style of folksy awesomeness. Maybe a little Modest Mouse indie is in there and definitely more than a bit of punk influence from the rails of Bad Religion and the like. Still haven't made it big yet, but I think if anyone can, it's me. Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect, that is one thing for sure. For the most part, I don't think I did anything right, at least not the way you are suppose...Expand for more
