I ended up gettin' a little Gibson amp and a bass, because of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Myself and three other kids would pretend to be Kiss - I liked Gene the best.

Like many other kids, I liked watching anime.

Kids get influenced by other kids.

I was the kid who was too geeky for the other kids.

Other kids went out and beat each other up or played baseball, and I built electronics.

It was endlessly entertaining, watching people beat each other up. All the little kids in the neighborhood would come and watch... and then we'd beat them up as well.
