Wednesday Wickedness

1. And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.

When was the last time that you wanted to do something, but it was all done before you got there?

hmmm....not sure.  I'm sure it's happened...but nothing specific comes to mind at the moment.

2. As good as I am, I'm nothing without my band.

Do you feel there is anyone you could not do without?

the one person that I never wanted to live without, I am having to learn how to live without.  After him....would be my children.

3. Back then it was nothing like today. So you'd go to the bowling alley. We bowled and you could be in the back and you could make out, you know? And you know how hot it was to make out.

When you were young and innocent, what place did you make out?

depends on the time of day....during the school day, there were those electrical boxes behind some of the buildings; during night school events, there were semi secluded areas to hide.

4. Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.

Were you ever tempted by something that could “steal your soul”?

yep...my soul has been stolen, stomped on, and left to die

(the song Jar of Hearts by Christina Perri is a perfect description)

5. Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.

How do you deal with sorrow?

usually I cry first. Alot.  I tend to isolate myself for a bit, then i talk.

6. Fake it until you make it.

Did you ever have dreams of making it in showbiz in some capacity?

oh good gracious, no.

7. Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.

What keeps you fresh and new?

always learning new things.  I research pretty much everything, especially if it touches my life in some way.

8. I don't mind being a grandfather.

If you are a grandparent, do you at first “mind it”? If you aren't, how do you think that you would feel about it?

9. I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.

Do you enjoy winter where you live?

I don't enjoy winter anywhere...I absolutely hate the cold. 

10. I have to get inspired by something that touches my soul, or rocks my soul.

What rocks your soul?

my children
