When I was in the third grade, I drew a picture of my mom with a penis. I told her it was a belt. It's still framed and hanging in her office.

My parents were professional liars. Need-to-know determined everything so I learned to enjoy the seams between lies. It's how I understood things and it's mostly found in art. As I get older, less and less is visible to me.

My dad was a letterpress printer by night, and a print salesman by day for a local trade packaging company. His letterpress shop was based in the garage but grew like psoriasis through the kitchen, down the hallway, and round the corner of the living room. I must have swallowed caseloads of 5pt type by the time I could walk, he was always dropping the little stuff.

going back further, my grandfather was an air force engineer in WWII, in burma, they used to drop them in the jungle to go and salvage crashes behind enemy lines. I always thought it would make a good movie.

It seems celebrities and politicians occasionally announce that they're eighth cousins to each other. I sometimes wonder if I can claim a distant relation to someone like Robert Loggia or Jerry Springer.

my only living grandparent is my dad's father.
he is 90 years old and is still doing fairly well for himself. most cylinders are still firing.
served twice in WWII in the navy. served one tour and then he was drafted by the army. after a month or so he finally got a hold of some high up and said: hey look, i'm navy trained. if i have to serve again put me back in the navy. they agreed. one of the ships he was on was blown out of the water. he was at normandy.
- If he was at Normandy, I suspect he killed someone at close range. Jesus.waterhouse
- don't know if he was actually on the beach. not really sure. he doesn't talk about it much7point34
