When I was in kindergarten I ran in front of the swings and got kicked in the face.

When I was about 4, I was with my dad in his tool shed. While he wasn't looking, I took two nails off the floor and stuck them in the power outlet. I had burns on my fingers, but nothing worse than that. I can't remember anything at all from such an early age, but my parents insist it happened.

Around age 10, I also once ran into a rose-bush branch at full speed while me and my sister was playing catch. I didn't feel any pain, but I pulled thorns out of my forehead and then felt cold drops of blood running over my eyes. Probably just a good thing it didn't hit me in the eyes.

One day when I was 3-5 years old (basically before I really started getting into music when I got my first CDs at 6), my dad was playing some Alice in Chains. Later that night, he was hanging out with his friends and I was with them when they were trying to figure out what album to put on. I wanted to listen to Alice in Chains again but couldn't remember what their name was, so I asked him if he could play the band with the yucky voices. He had no idea what the **** I was talking about and said "Smashing Pumpkins?" and I was like I don't know dude but I don't think so. He couldn't figure it out so he played Gish (I only know that because it was the only Pumpkins album he had for years) and that's when I learned to start asking for the band name when I liked the music and to start hating Smashing Pumpkins.

Circa 4th grade. Music class, previous Friday. Assignment: draw an album cover for your new band. Okay, I can do that. That weekend I had been watching Death Wish on the tele. You know, the one starring Charles Bronson. So I get to class on Monday and start composing the album cover for my new band, Death Wish. Not the most original name, but I've never been a rockstar before, so I'm pretty excited about it at this point.

We were given cuts of paper or maybe cardboard (that part's a bit fuzzy) in the shape of a vinyl record. I can still picture the album cover in my mind, right down to the type of font styling I used, which I drew myself and was of course proud of. But more etched in my mind than any of that is the death stare I got from my teacher when I turned it in. Wow she was not pleased.

What did you draw?

That vaguely reminds me of when my 4th grade teacher taught me how to spell "hail Satan" correctly (my project said "hell satin"). She was a Hawaiian lady I was taller than at 9 years old and she swore a lot with no repercussion.

Oh yeah, another time our English teacher asked us all to pick one album and bring it in. We were to play a song and do a short write-up on it too. I bring in Nirvana's In Utero and play "Serve the Servents," for which I received praise for the lyrics. This other kid brings in Soundgarden's Superunknown and plays "Black Hole Sun." Our English teacher then went on a big lecture on how bad the lyrics were (the content of them, not the writing). Man I felt so bad for that kid. Clearly the teachers at that school had very little exposure to that kind of stuff.
