waiting for the lightning to come from heaven and strike him down . . .

If you could do it all over again would you? Explain
simply put....yes. None of us are given instructions when we're put on this planet. We just muck through it and learn from whatever experiences we have


Do you actually enjoy your 30s? I hate my 30s. If you do, please explain why. If not, well, let me know.
in all honesty, I don't even see myself as 32. In my mind I'm eternally, around, say, 23. Growing old doesn't really bother me

What do you think about Fauxie?
Nick is great. He was one of the few to give me criticism on my poem without it sounding mean. And you can tell he's intelligent from his posts. Def. one of the orgers I would like to meet, we'd listen to some hip hop and laugh at you

Other than the homophobic past, are there any prejudices that you’ve dealt with growing up? How did you get past them, if indeed you did?
I grew up an italian kid in the middle of a black urban area known as Orange, NJ. Being one of a handful of white kids in the whole school, yeah, I got into a lot of fights. That's life though. Prejudice will never go away, I think where we grow is how we as individuals and society deal and respond to such prejudice.

Finally. Is God (whatever that may be for you) a friendly force?
I am catholic and I believe in God. That's all I'll say. (Dad told me to never discuss religion)

You make self-depricating jokes about your weight even though many girls here adore you and half the men want to fuck the shit out of you. Do you actually have low self-image. I know you said you hate on yourself, but is it due to self-image physically? Or is that biproduct? Either way, if I challenged you to turn that around this year, would you even take it seriously?

As a parent, you're not supposed to play favorites. But all parents have a favorite whether they show it or not. Well?


Ultimtely, do you bleieve (for you) that the org can be more than just an entertaining place to shoot the shit?


Why do you like the Northeast so much more than Florida? I mean are you serious ? Explain



Has your impression of asians changed over time? Am I an exemplary example of an asian? Be serious.

An Interview with JerseyKRS (and the rest of you)

1) Do you think that he world is generally headed in the wrong direction or the right direction?
I think that that there are many stereotypes that we have to grow tolerant to because of people's natural tendency to pigeonhole people into different social classes. This often causes cross border conflicts due to the instinctual paranoid nature of mankind and thus (to oversimplify) can result in macroeconomic paradigm shifts in opinions. Right and wrong directions are thus just different opinions comming from different point of views.

2) What childhood memory do you treasure the most?
I don't remember.[/[i]i]

3) What are you biggest regrets about your experience as a parent? How do you think you could have changed that?
This question does not apply to me since I am not a parent.

4) You’ve said the org has helped you deal with your homophobia. Could you see yourself being friends with a gay man? explain
As long as they don't interfere in simple everyday tasks, there should be no reason to prejudge their actions or behavior.

5) What are your primary goals for this year? Are you on the path to achieving them?
I plan to have a job, I'm still waiting for a response.

6) What does the org do for you?
Allows me to interact with people I don't like.

You make self-depricating jokes about your weight even though many girls here adore you and half the men want to fuck the shit out of you. Do you actually have low self-image. I know you said you hate on yourself, but is it due to self-image physically? Or is that biproduct? Either way, if I challenged you to turn that around this year, would you even take it seriously?
First of all, I only WISH I was the ladies man everyone seems to think I am. I have incredibly low self image. I'm not sure which came first honestly. Not being comfortable with the way you look is tough. Even though you know you are in control of it ultimately, that doesn't mean you can just turn it around. I have gone up and down, I exercise for a while, then say fuck it and give up again. I think the only way your challenge would work is if I had someone to properly motivate me and help me stay on track

As a parent, you're not supposed to play favorites. But all parents have a favorite whether they show it or not. Well?
Yes, I think I do favor my daughter a little for the simple reason that she is my baby. It's not fair, but I mean, it's not like I give her steak and feed my son bread. I just tend to be a little less strict with her

Ultimtely, do you bleieve (for you) that the org can be more than just an entertaining place to shoot the shit?
absolutely. I think it has the potential to be more, but alot of people are either fake or unhappy with their own lives. For me, I have made a handful of nice new friends. The fact that we don't have real life contact doesn't really affect that.

Why do you like the Northeast so much more than Florida? I mean are you serious ? Explain
I don't ever think I TRASH florida. I have my complaints, that's about it. I'm not a big fan of the heat. I miss four seasons. However, ask me which state I'd rather live in, and I'd say Florida all the time. NJ is WAY too expensive, crowded yada yada yada....now, if money weren't an issue, I'd def be in New England somewhere, cheering the Yankees on....


Has your impression of asians changed over time? Am I an exemplary example of an asian? Be serious.
you know, I never really had a SET view on asians. So it's hard for me to answer this. You (being serious) are a completely unique individual, asian or not.....

So anyways, when you went into the salon to get your hair done. Did you feel uncomfortable? Or did you look at it as something new and fun. I'm not gonna play up the "Gay" thing this time, but am curious given the whole "self image" thing, how it makes you feel when you get this type of maintenance performed.


My liveroom is a complete embarrassment. The furniture is a mismatch of my futon (kinda nice), my roomate's ugly-ass checkered coutch (which I covered in a dark brown blanket), and a cheep little T.V. on top of a woodpanel stand. Why? I'm never ever in the living room. Don't ask why, but I've never liked living rooms. Anyways, I want to spend about $1000 dollars in the next few months on making it livable. Where should I start, and what should I do? Also, what advice would you give me for saving money up for such a purchase(s)? I'm aweful at saving money, hence the roomate.



Since you see yourself as 23 (I actually view myself as in my late 20's), do you ever think about the future? Retirement? Do you have a plan?



What is your first reaction to someone you know making fun of somebody for something they can't help (looks, etc.) ?

1) Do you think that he world is generally headed in the wrong direction or the right direction?

i think it's just the same as it's always been, just intensified on both good and bad levels.

2) What childhood memory do you treasure the most?

my dad trying to teach me to ride a bike.

3) What are you biggest regrets about your experience as a parent? How do you think you could have changed that?

i'm not a parent.

4) You’ve said the org has helped you deal with your homophobia. Could you see yourself being friends with a gay man? explain

i have many gay friends despite the Org.

5) What are your primary goals for this year? Are you on the path to achieving them?

to get out of debt. to early to tell.

6) What does the org do for you?

gives me a chance to act the fool.

since we're being honest, I was a little high. Well, I was ALOT high. I didn't feel uncomfortable, Jenny and I were cracking jokes the whole time. But she actually did a real nice cut, so I didn't mind walking out of there looking dope.

paint the walls. slipcovers. Accessorize the fuck out of the room. Make sure you put some lilly smarty pants type books on the coffee table and a Yankee candle, chicks dig that sorta thing. And a stand up lamp is required. I pay for everything cash, so when I have something I want, I look at my finances for the next few months, and budget myself every month a certain number that will help me buy what I want when I want. You should try it, you make a ton of dough


Since you see yourself as 23 (I actually view myself as in my late 20's), do you ever think about the future? Retirement? Do you have a plan?
I live day to day. I just try to make it to my bed at night able to say I lived through today. I don't think I'll ever retire. I'm just not financially stable (yet?) to get on a plan. If I die, I have a ton of life insurance so my children won't have to worry. Hell, I'm worth more dead than alive. Good thing the ex wife won't get a penny of it, otherwise I'm sure she would be trying to have me rubbed out.

Ouch, I'm probably the one doing the teasing.

great answers


working on my next bundle

How did you find yourself playing with dirt for lots of money? Does it make interesting conversation?

Do you view your job as a career or a job? How much do you identify with your professional life? or do you draw a definate work/life balance line?


What is your favorite painting, and why?


How in the hell did you get into Prince? He ain't exactly "Street" you know. What was it about him that made you decide you were a fan. Are there particular songs that make you go "wow" in his music catalogue?


How in the hell did you stumble on prince.org? What made you decide to create an account. It wasn't the gallary was it?

I haven't answered the last group of questions and Imago cut my summer short.

So friggen dramatic.

It's still your summer!

Imago said:

are you going to the Tampa Bay Blues festival next month?

How did you find yourself playing with dirt for lots of money? Does it make interesting conversation?
Luck. At a time when my father and I weren't speaking, he had a friend in the field that told him about an opening. He simply made a call to me saying it was a good oppurtunity. I stopped being stubborn and we've gotten along very well ever since. I try not to talk about it with people or girls, as it can sound VERY boring.

Do you view your job as a career or a job? How much do you identify with your professional life? or do you draw a definate work/life balance line?
It is a career. I am working my way into a project management position after starting off as a lowly technician. My professional life is just that. I do it because I have children and need to provide. I do my best at it (when I'm not goofing off on the org or myspace) so I can hopefully succeed. But after quitting time and on the weekends, it's all about being myself!

What is your favorite painting, and why?
I view art as just that, art. I don't like to play favorites. That being said, I'm always drawn to disturbing images.

How in the hell did you get into Prince? He ain't exactly "Street" you know. What was it about him that made you decide you were a fan. Are there particular songs that make you go "wow" in his music catalogue?
I grew up with parents that had VERY diverse musical interests. My mom was the big Prince fan, and when Purple Rain came out, I'd say that's when I became a full fledged fan. Almost all music that I dig, it usually stems from the lyrics. I like to associate with what people are singing. Prince had a great way of putting such feeling into his music. I have a number of awe striking favorite tunes...but this is the wrong forum for that discussion...lol

How in the hell did you stumble on prince.org? What made you decide to create an account. It wasn't the gallary was it?
Wow, it was years ago, back when it was black. I think I was searching for a place to find bootlegs. I jumped into the holy river chat room and laughed my ass off. The rest is history.....

How did you find yourself playing with dirt for lots of money? Does it make interesting conversation?
