Feed our Egos

We’ve known each other since 6th grade or so, when we had Mr. Lambert. We were both extremely bored in school, and hey, that sort of thing brings people together.

Plus, Andrew had the original concept for the air car, and Chuck came from Staten Island bringing with him all the curse words. And I think that sticks in someone’s mind.

We lost touch after high school, when Chuck studied Communications at Trenton State College and Andrew stayed home and studied Architecture. Oddly enough, a girl Andrew dated was in class with Chuck and for some reason, had a deep resentment for him.

We both make that kind of impression – either you like us, or you hate us.


Chuck




Where to begin! I was born in Brooklyn, New York on Tuesday September 23, 1975, which is one of the coolest days of the year.

Not just because it’s my birthday, but because its the first day of fall, the first day of Libra (The cardinal air sign), and its also Bruce Springsteen's, John Coltranes's, Ray Charles' and Julio Iglesias' birthdays!

Yep, that’s just a sample of the music that flows through people born on September 23rd. And then there are also some other cool birthdays too, like Mickey Rooney, although I am considerably taller. Also, Octavius Caesar was born on September 23... Well, I love to write...everything from prose and essays (which are usually very opinionated, I am a bit bombastic) and to poetry and songs. Let’s just say I have a unique way of looking at things...its cuz I am a Deconstructionist.

I love music! Music is my life, I play guitar and have always loved listening to a lot of different genres of music. I love music so much, I worked in radio for 10 years, and let me just say, you don’t work in radio for the money (or the respect)!

I'm also pretty into Astrology. I got into it by trying to disprove it, ironically enough. I thought that it was a farce, but figured I had to be objective, so I bought a book or two and then tried some of it out, and I was blown away.

I also enjoy reading, but usually don't waste my time on pop culture drek. I am proud to admit I have never read a John Grisham book... I prefer Theodore Geisel, Dr. Suess, who actually died the day after my 16th Birthday. Bummer.I like reading non-fiction and short stories especially. And I have always liked F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams." I really identified with the story and later found out that astrologically speaking I am very similar to Fitzgerald.

I went to TCNJ, Formerly Trenton State College, if you are considering going there, let me offer this advice...GO TO RUTGERS!!!! Trenton Sucks!
