We were raised roman catholics and did almost the opposite of what the church wanted. We had big big Italian family dinners every sunday. We had a basketball court, tennis court, ice skating rink, baseball field, Bauchi court, wine room, pool tables, ping pong table, an acre garden, motorcycles, chest freezers, running water, clothes lines, flag poles and a pet cemetery.

I grew up in the area where I still live, and always lived, unless I moved about 6 timkes. Well, my oldest sister and younger sister where always fighting, that relationship still isn't okay, and never will, the relationship between my youngest sister and me even will never be okay. My parents, well what to say about them. My father I only saw in the evenings when he came home from work, in the weekends and in the holidays. (For as far I can remember). And my mother was always everywhere where I didn't want to see her. If I did something naughty, my motrher just used to pass by and then I got punished. But most of my youth I was spending reading books, and I still love to read. And it's okay for me to read books I've read 3-4 times before. Or maybe even 10 times. As long as the stories are good. I could read some books of Stephen King over and over again, but also some of his books, reading them once is enough. Still I keep collecting them, for within 15 years I will be retired. It's like a good song you hear, some song you like to hear over and over again. Why shouldn't you read a good book over and over again? Alice Cooper's How you gonna see me now, is my favourite song since I first heard it, when I was 10 still when I hear it, I get emotional. And a lot of his other songs, well still can't get enough of them. Same with Led Zeppelin's Since I've been loving you. The first time I heard it I was reading Charles Dicken's Oliver Twist, and exactly at the point where Robert Plant raised his voice, Nancy was killed by Bill Sykes. That combination was spectacular, I never will get those moments together again in the right way, but it made much impression on me as a 14 year old boy.
