FRANK 101
I was born and raised in the suburbs of Pittsburgh in a little town called Hopewell, located in the city of Aliquippa. Upon mental and physical maturity, I ventured off in to the unknown. I am not without adventure, but my faithful companions have left to experience different worlds of their own.
- I embrace being a part of generation-Y and live my life through as many creative and technological outlets as possible.
- Likewise, I could do without all of this technology in a second. It’s either all or nothing.
- I’m not here to be a narcissist.
- As an infant, there was nothing they could do to tame my hair. My baby photo on the front page, with the fro, was a normal look for me from the moment I came in to the world.
- I’ve seen a UFO at the Kane Road Drive-in. Really!
- I’ve seen a ghost in my old bedroom, levitating above my brother. I verified that I was awake,freaked out and then hid.
- I keep a journal. Online and hard copy.
- I’m huge in to conspiracy theories.
- I used to have a forum set up on my Web site in high school. If somebody left a comment (which was once in a blue moon) I would send unformatted e-mails to them that were meant to resemble an automatic response.
- My childhood is summed up in my head as Lisa Loeb’s “Stay” and a bunch of grass hoppers in of those clear bug containers with the ventilated top.
- I have stolen over 300 salt shakers.
- I used to throw crazy Halloween parties. Alcohol free, too.
- I got horrible grades until 11th grade. I once had a teacher in middle school ask me why I wasn’t as smart as my older brother. #fail!
- I have a weird phobia of taking my shirt off in public and don’t like when people are “touchy”.
- This website serves as a hub for the world to access my inner-most deepest thoughts. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some meaningless information about me:
- My personal cat’s names have been Spookums, Snowball, Carmel, Muzby and the latest Mr. Fezziwig.
- My favorite movie is Big Fish. Big guy in a little pond that tells his life story in a way that makes him immortal.
- I have a folder on my computer full of artistic photos of my favorite actors and actresses.
- In 7th grade, I won a graphic design contest on the Web site BeanieWonderland.com. My prize was a box of plush toys manufactured by unknown brands. A huge score in my book.
- I used to always paint my Aunt’s pictures for her using these industrial paint markers that had black casings. One time I found a mysterious orange paint marker with a white casing, smelled it and puked instantly.
- I used to change the design of my Web site (mjknarf.com) monthly.
- I was obsessed with Garfield, Power Rangers, Beanie Babies, Star Wars, Lost in Space and plastic animals specifically purchased from the zoo.
- Furthermore, I still have all of the original packaging for my Power Rangers.
- I love hiking.
- My favorite games are Donkey Kong Country 1-3 and Zombies Ate My Neighbors for SNES.
- My first concert and CD was by The Beach Boys.
- I like decoupaging things with fabric and old advertisements.
- I like exploring old and abandoned places.
- I would spend hours staring at STYX Paradise CD cover.
- I was my high school’s drum major and I’m still proud to say it.
- The first theater performance I saw was my high school’s production of “Guys and Dolls” and I’ve been hooked ever since.
- mjknarf is “Frank J M” backwards. A teacher of mine called me “knarf” once and it stuck with me.
- I wish I had more knowledge of my ancestry.
- I remember being really excited when I discovered that I could play my mixed tapes back through my computer and capture the songs individually through the WAVE player. My first cd mixes were top quality.
- Nickelodeon Studios still inspires me to this day even though it is no longer there.
- Our assistant principal in high school once told me to P4 every situation and it has stuck since. Proper Planning Prevents Problems!
- One day it may be proven that I’m clinically insane.
- I periodically receive crazy messages from depressed people I have met throughout the duration of my life. It’s a bit alarming.
- I lost 30 Twitter followers after posting the SNL “Kissing Family” sketch.
- My friends and I used to write outlandish things like “Rat Woman the Musical.” The driving factor for our stories were when people would make a rude comment to us.
- I love driving aimlessly for relaxation.
- I’m still best friends with my teenage friends.
- You got a friend in me.
- Since the 7th grade, I have maintained a high level of interest in developing my presence online for no reason other than personal satisfaction. As you can see, that ideal remains true to this day.
