Here it goes:
-mugged once outside of my high school,
-some family that's mobbed up, but so far removed from them that I don't even know half of their names,
-never went to Catholic school, not even sure if I took communion, though seriously doubt it,
-never knew anyone who jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, though I have associated with several people with severe psychoses,
let's see, is there anything else?
I don't think so.
I got jumped by four Mexicans in a park here in California a couple of years after I got here. They lost! There are SOME advantages in being from Brooklyn. LOL
I also had a future Democrat California Senator in my private grade Catholic school here. He pestered me for a long time in poking me with a pencil.
I got sick of it and jumped out of my seat on top of him and it took about 12 kids to get me off of him.
So I beat the tar out of this future Democrat California Senator and the nuns were not that quick to remove me from the beating either.
As a matter of fact, I think I was practically thanked and given a dispensation so I could eat meat the next
Lent on Fridays for that effort! LOL
I was a well behaved good kid, but enough was enough and the nuns knew it had to take a real effort to have me go off! LOL
