Physical
description:
| Opaque, sedantary, predominately
male type object, with variable temperature, occasional gaseousness, and a
mildly salty taste. |
Age: |
Between 20 and 5000 years old, depending upon the
velocity of the observer (ref: The Innerview - In the
Crosshairs, Part 2). |
Distinguishing
marks:
| Heavy cross on shoulders, monkey
on back with knife in back, black cloud hovering over head, heart exposed on
sleeve. (Ah, but this is from 1996. Currently floating on pink cloud...
nothing to do with AA... cross has been lifted, monkey with knife is gone,
black cloud is pink, and the old heart is back on the left side of the
chest. |
Obsessions:
|
Rock and roll, women, great pizza (not necessarily in
that order). Now, to this list, we have to add gourmet cooking, a relatively
new development in 2004 inspired by The Food Channel on cable TV, Trader
Joe's, the world's most incredible chain food store, and The Resurrection of
Peter Cross. |
Allergies: | Disco "music", cRAP "music", pigs (except when they're Good Cops and They Love Rock and Roll - but the two
things have to occur simultaneously, and it never seems to happen in real
life, only in the song), dust, sub-microscopic bacteria named "self".
|
Hobbies:
|
Recreational sex, especially in recreational vehicles or
spontaneous recreational areas. Oh, we cannot stress this one enough! (refer
to Seminal Songs - "Dirty Hippy", especially the last line in the song -
PRESCIENT, in retrospect).
|
Favorite food: | Pre-approved, pre-authorized pizza (i.e. Sal's Pizzeria
Restaurant, 316 Mamaroneck Avenue, Mamamaroneck, N.Y., and if that ain't
enough of a plug, we don't know what is... as if they really need it!). And
to this classic item, we now have to include just about everything that
Peter Cross cooks these days, and there may have to be a new web page to
cover that... who knows? Even the Shadow doesn't know! |
Favorite song: | Sherry, by the Four
Seasons (also used in cooking... various sauces) |
Sports: | Totally non-competitive.
Likes to watch air, although maybe being a "net surfer" qualifies as a
sport. |
Last sighting in
1997:
| Sal's Pizzeria Restaurant, before a
business meeting with "Large Louie". |
Last reported words in 1997: | "One
more slice, Sal, with extra cheese".
|
Resurrection in 2004: | Sleepless in Orange, California, but lucky to be there,
courtesy of Bear, a former Laguna Beach/Magic bass player and always a best
friend. Current interests include all available women, rock and roll, but no
pizza 'cause it can't measure up to Sal's, gourmet cooking, home
improvement, updating the web site and interacting with the whole darn
world.
|
Born with both a mother and a father, unremarkable school career with no
indication of creative talent and only marginal suggestion of elementary
competence in the real world.   Sexual energy first manifested at age
11 and was virtually uncontrollable by age 13, but unfortunately girls
did not notice at all.   Remained invisible until age 17, at which
time high visiblity occurred overnight after joining The Dolphins, a local
rock and roll band with a regional hit record.   Shock to conciousness
was intense, but softened by the caring hands of more than 3 females (exact
number unknown).   Heterosexuality confirmed by testing, repeat testing,
and still more testing after that.   Subsequent life includes many
loves, births, deaths, successes, failures, truly outstanding meals, colitis
maximus, paxil, Uncle Vino and friends, the white light, and the infamous
"Rough Ride in the Rubber Room."
2004 update: Well, the rough ride in the rubber room is
OVER. 10 Years After (remember that group? with Alvin Lee who was
purported to be the fastest guitar player ever? obviously before Eddie Van
Halen!), the traumatic after effects still reverberate through the
space/time continuum like a mini-Auschwitz, but emerging from the psychic
escape tunnel into the inner light at the end is an experience to be savored
with a good smoke (as Peter says a lot these days, "smoke one for the
idiot!" Refer to item #67 in "Aphorisms - My Mental Chatter")
