Deep dives
Growing up in Jersey with Family, Pets, and Vacations
I grew up in central New Jersey, in a suburban setting. My parents built our house when I was a baby, and we lived there ever since. We had a mutt named Annie and later got a pit bull mix named Ralfi. Our family vacations mostly involved going down the shore and staying at friends' houses. We also went to places like the Bahamas, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. My parents worked in different professions, with my dad being a retired policeman turned security guard, and my mom working in bookkeeping and accounting. We were a middle-class family, and I have memories of going out to eat at chain restaurants like Chili's. Overall, it was a typical suburban upbringing with a close-knit family.
Hobbies, Sports, and Memories
As a kid, I enjoyed wrestling and participated in youth wrestling programs. I also spent a lot of time fishing, especially for bass and catfish. Growing up, I had a few hobbies like airsoft guns and playing video games. Family gatherings were important, and we often went to weddings where I enjoyed dancing with my dad. I have memories of going to Atlantic City strip clubs for my 21st birthday with him. While I'm not a huge fan of strip clubs, it was a memorable experience. Additionally, we had soda in the house like Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper, and family vacations often involved going to amusement parks like Six Flags.
Personal Choices and Preferences
I shower both in the morning and at night, depending on the day. I am not too picky when it comes to food and enjoy a variety of dishes, including seafood like oysters, shrimp, lobster, and crab. I am not a fan of liver and onions or the idea of eating paintball guns. When it comes to activities, I enjoy playing laser tag and have fond memories of airsoft gun battles with my friends. As for personal grooming, I bite my fingernails and file them down. Overall, I have a wide range of interests and preferences.
