I was the type of guy that used to get up in the morning and go out and just out run everybody on the field without stretching or warming up or anything.
I'm not thick-skinned at all, and of course I'm hurt by people attacking me as a person.
I began the process of recording myself seriously in the fall of 1999. If I could finish an album of my own music, I would. Five years later I am happy to say I have.
