My Life Story

Flashback to Rocky Horror Picture Show 1995

Here is a show we played “with the video cut to save time” at the Rocky Horror Picture Show’s 20th anniversary in Berkley. I was about 19 and we played two shows before driving from Napa to Berkly AKA Berzerkly to do the show.

The story was kind of funny because we hit a bump on the way to the show which jumped the PA in the back of my truck and broke it. So Frank, the singer of our band Mellow Fellow had to sing through the house PA which was heard in the bathrooms and hallways without music. lol

Afterwords we went to some Haunted mansion party that was dark weird and a little too much. So we headed home shortly after back to Napa.

To add icing on the cake I was wearing white jeans and a tucked in green and black plaid polo. Sweet ;)

2nd Grade

2nd grade was great I was the toughest kid until a new kid about half way through the year his name was chris and I remember him asking me if I was the toughest kid and when I said yes he hit me in the stomach and knocked the wind out of me. This was the first time I got the wind knocked out so I backed down and excepted him as the toughest. I started getting picked on by older kids about this time like one time these kids about 2 years older threw my hat on the roof of a school room I told them to get it but they just laughed so I did what any kid without a chance did and got my sister, she just moved in from Washington and was very tough so she made the kids climb up and get my hat and she told them not to mess with me and it worked.

First Grade

1st grade was with Mr Smith a overweight and terribly evil teacher, I can remember her mole and demeaning attitude it was ironic that my 4th grade teacher was named mrs smith too and was so nice. Being hugely stubborn I already started getting in trouble because I didn’t like my teacher. I made my first school friend in first grade Chris Belmore and I used to be very close along with two kids across the street Joel and nick. I started soccer this year as well so I was active with friends and doing kid things like; dirk clod wars, building tree forts by the train tracks, cherry apple wars, balloon fights. For more information on these games click here. We had chains hanging down with math addition and the smartest kids would have the longest chains. I learned how to play kickball and tetherball and ran the lunch breaks with my friends since we where the best players. Although we would get shown up by a girl doing cherry drop (hanging upside down and dropping to your feet) I wouldn’t touch that. There was tree that lead up to the roof man I wanted to climb that so bad but I knew I would be in serious trouble if I did. Of course I did and didn’t even get caught. It was so exciting looking down on the kids no one knowing where I was.

1979

In 1979 My parents divorced, I moved to Napa, California with my mother while my Dad and my sister stayed in Washington. My mother settled down shortly with a new boyfriend name Brian Casebolt. It think he sold knives for knifeco or something like that. We lived in a 3 bedroom house 1488 Yahome street.

I started pre-school located in the main park of jefferson. I actually remember allot about this preschool like oversized blocks and really nice girls working there. I remember nap time and playing in the playpen.

I then went to Mcpherson’s pre-school and kindergarten where I remember being bigger then everyone and smarter not to sound too weird but I kind of stuck out. I guess that’s why they offered for me to skip first grade. My mother said no for here reasons life went on. I was very geeky my profile was grown out hair, corduroys always corduroys no exception and collared shirt. Just a year before it old t-shirts like king kong and spiderman but not anymore I was big time going into kindergarten.

Next

The third was while we where out on the ocean and my sister and I where playing hide and go seek when I accidentally got knocked off the boat into the ocean this time I didn’t sink so they where able to jump in and bring me back in. My sister is three years older then me so I wonder how many of these disasters she may of masterminded you know how jealous kids get for the younger ones getting all the attention.Since I was still alive I managed to do some fun events like parade where I was tattoo for the fantasy island tv show, I passed out candy and walked around like I was really cool but I was really cool so I could anyway’s. I was especially excited because I was on the simulated car with my sister’s friend also with the name Stephanie she was the same age but man I was in love with here at age about 3 I guess she was about 5 or 6 (it could of worked).
