So there I was,

minding my own business, merrily floating about in a warm sea of amniotic fluid. Sure it was dark, increasingly cramped, and I had no access to TV, but it had central heating. Then, suddenly (well, over eight hours), I was squeezed and pushed until I finally squirted out of my little Eden. Someone immediately smacked me on the butt and cut off my foreskin. I didn't take me long to realize the horror of where I had actually spent most of my life until then. This was dwarfed only by the comprehension that I had fallen out of the pot and into the proverbial fire. I cried a lot.

The brief bliss I experienced starting New Year's Day on my grandparent's pull-out bed was abruptly ended on October 17th, 1973, when I was thrust into a cold world full of death, taxes, war, famine, ugly chicks, wasps, haggis, and Microsoft. Granted, Microsoft wasn't there yet, but it still sucks. Now I'm 24 and have spent my whole life trying to get back in to the place I spent 9 months getting out of. Uh...I don't mean that literally, of course. I wasn't raised in West Virginia.

No, I was raised in western Pennsylvania, first in Monongahela (south of Pittsburgh) then in New Castle (north of Pittsburgh). Go Steelers.

I had a pretty tough life growing up. My folks got into smack pretty heavy, so after the first month I had to start changing my own diapers. By five I had to start working in a steel mill at night after kindergarten in order to feed myself. Right around nine I developed a rather nasty drinking problem that resulted in a DUI and a barfight that cost me my left eye. I eventually made it to college, but found that the only way I could make ends meet was to sell body parts. So, over the course of the four years of college and one year at MBA school, I gave up a kidney, my other eye, most of my hair follicles, 20 feet of intestine, a lung, four teeth, a tanker truck of blood, and so much semen I've probably repopulated Rwanda personally. And now I'm in the UK for a semester. I won't tell you what I had to do to swing THAT deal. I'm all cleaned up now, though. I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I only hit the crack pipe a couple of times a day. I even found religion and became a card-carrying SubGenius. I'm in good health except for a bit of jaundice, herpes, rheumatoid arthritis, anemia, malaria, scurvy, and a limp.

Actually, most of that isn't true.
