My first college experience was at Columbia College Chicago, where I majored in Fiction Writing. My best pieces were non-fiction.

I loved basketball when I was young and was on a team at the local park district for awhile. I love adore basketball machines at arcades.

I have an insane memory; I used to memorize the billboard charts when I was young. My Dad and I would test each other on songs/artists.

My favorite song of all time is Daydream Believer by The Monkees. My favorite band is The Cure. My favorite Cure song is Burn.

Last one for now: I got kicked out of public school when I was young and was sent to an alternative school. I dropped out sophomore year.

When I was young, I stole my older brother's check book and bought a Time-Life Christmas music collection with his money. I signed MY name!

The day before my Dad went into a coma from brain cancer, we played a game of chess. We stalemated.

Arguing tends to turn me on. Especially when I am right. ;)
