It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, man, but it keeps me up at night.

I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.

Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) was my first console. My first PC was a used 486/40 with 8MB of RAM. I was born in between the Challenger shuttle disaster and Chernobyl meltdown.
