           This pageis mostly about me.   I have been putting some of my thoughts here.   I Guess this page is all about therapy,  not that I need any.   Feel better having a place to put my thoughts.  I will try to update this pages as muchas I can to keep it up to date.
.
          My name is Vincent,called Vinny by most.  Tito to my mom., E-Mail [email protected] for comments.   The camera does not like me much so I dislike it back.  It works for me.
     Born in BrooklynN.Y. , October 22nd in the  Year of the Dragon . , Zodiac Sign, Libra ,     Brooklyn ws the best place on this planet for good EggCreams , Great Pizza, and kanishes.    Grew up in the worst parts of Brooklyn. ,  Bushwick was tough, Bed Sty was hell,  Williamsburg was ok but hard.   Mother raised us by herself,  very poor.   Moved almost every year.   Williamsburg and Bushwick were the places we lived the longest.   Don't get downt o Brooklyn any more.  All of my friends are dead or gone.

        Used to go to Coney Island (had a boat near there once),  hung out in Greenpoint, Williamsburg,and Bushwick.    Flushing Ave., Grand Street, South 9th Street in Williamsburg,  N 13th Street in Greenpoint.  Was Baptized Roman Catholic. Don't go to church anymore.   Don't care much for organized religion.  I feel that Religion is a personal thing.  I beleve in my own way.
        Me at age 7 or so.     A lot of music in the air,  Rock and Roll, Doo Oop music. Remember Playing in the streets,  kick the can,  stickball,  stoop ball,  Spinning tops,  cooling off with fire hydrants,  Handball,   Riding bike,   flying kites on the roofs of tenement buildings,  and Playing Scully.

        Father was born in PuertoRico .    Mother was born in Brooklyn,  her parents werefrom Puerto Rico as well.   That makes me Hispanic, or what is sometimes referred to as New York Rican.     They brokeup when I was about 2 years old.  No biggie (got over it).  I sometimes miss speaking Spanish and my latin roots.  I have lost most of my ability to speak Spanish.  I guess what you don't use you loose.   I really love Gloria Estifans Spanish albums. They touch the Hispanic part of my Soul.

        I  left home and Started hanging out on the streets at the age of 13.   Mostly street gangs and clubs.  Never said I was an angel.   Guess I am self raised from that age on.    I was hit by a car whenI was about 14,  a drunk driver got me when I was taking a walk. Spent months in a hospital.   It left me with some bad scarson my lower right leg and a bad foot.  Don't like to wear shorts, no big deal.  I do Miss running.  I used to do a lot of running when I was a kid.  I can do most things,  walking,  riding bicycle,  swim,  drive a car and dance.  Mostly slow dancing. Have not danced in a very long time.

       Me at age 25 .  Got myself together by then,  Cut my hair. got off the streets, Got a job in Data Processing.    Worked my way up in the Computer Data Processing field.
          Moved to UpstateNew York  ,  Got married, Divorced . .  Living in a small brick house with my youngest son now.    Wife is ok (nice person),  we justnever made each other happy.   Need to find someone to click with,  a Soul mate,  a real good friend and lover.  Got 2 kids, Sons. 

         I  Make a good living working with Main Frame Computers in Network Tech support area.   It's a good job, pay is good.   I get a little bored sometimes but other times it is fun.   Board with most things these days.I think I could be happy anywhere doing anything with the right person.

        This is a pic of a FirebirdI had a long time back  miss that car.

        5' 7"+ tall, 150 pounds,  not too bad shape.   People tell me thatI am good looking but I never liked the way I look.  I am told I look a lot younger than my age.   I think I am ok but I want to get toned.  Going to a Gym.    No internal or other physical problems.   No Drugs,  Smoke but trying to quit, Drink occasionally. When I do drink, I get very mellow, happy, tend to be very open, and talkative.

          Love music, who doesn't.  I like All kinds of music.  Mostly Alternative Rockthese days but still love the Beatles.  I have a varied taste in music. Everything from old Bobby Darin, and Nat King Cole  to  James Taylor,  Billy Joel,  and Eric Clapton.    Everything from Zeppelin,  Black Sabbath, Queen,  to Wall flowers, No Doubt, and Dave Matthews.   Here is a link to a site for Annetenna, used to be Ednaswap.   Don't Care too much for Rap, and Hip Hop.   There is some older country that I like but .Not into the new country music.  I Still like old Marty Robins, and WillieNelson.  Still like some of the older stuff as well.     Currently into Red hot chili peppers,  Alanis ,Pearl Jam,  Garbage,  STP,  Santana, and Gloria Estifan (love her spanish albums).     I like to collect MP3files.  I use Winamp to play them on my Computer.

         These days I collectMostly DVD movies.  Love to laugh (Don't know of anyone who hatesit). Love South Park, Saturday Night Live,   Mad TV,  good old English comedies, and Howard Stern.  Love old mysteries, everything from old Thin man, Sherlock Holmes, and Charlie Chan mysteries to new Films.  Love SciFi stuff, Babylon 5, Star Trek.   Scary movies don't scare me at all,  But I enjoy watching them.   Loved Men in Black,Stigmata, and Matrix..  Once and a while I even like a chic flic. I really liked Bridges of Madison County.  Love old John Wayne movies,go figure.

        I am a very nice, calm, tolerant,  non violent,  open minded person.   Do not like Users or Violent  people.  Don't seem to get very close to men,  not into most guy stuff.    I don'tlike wrestling,  car racing,  and stuff like that.  I don't like the 3 Stooges. I rather watch an old movie,  something funny,   PBS (love Nova), or the Discovery Channel.,CSI Las Vegas reruns.  Don't watch TV to much these days,Rather be out somewhere.   I think the only thing I have in common with most guys are women.  I love women, its a natural attraction.   Most of my real good friends were women.    My overall best friend was Liz Bialt. Here is a picture of Liz and her kids back in 1974.    She is gone now.  I miss her these days very much.  I also miss my older syster Margie.  She died  years ago.  Perhaps that's why I like to check out the personals sometimes.  Too shy to write anyone tough,  even if just fora pen pal.  I am very shy until I get to know a person.  If  I get to know a person and like them I open up and am very outgoing  afterwards.  I like to have fun, Go out when I can. Try new things.   Don't go out to bars or culbs but have beentrying to go out as much as I can.    Maybe a concert or something.  Maybe I can get a chance to ride my bicycle around a bit this summer for the exercise.  Got tickets for June 30th 2000 forRed Hot Chili Peppers and STP.  I haven't been to a concert in a very very long time.
         I thought I wouldput up a pic of my current car, a 1998 Olds Eighty Eight.  I am not a car fanatic but I do like this car.    Here isa pic of  Ali.  I don't think anyone else has a copy of this, I got a friend to get this for me when Ali was in NY around 1978 or 79.  He is just sitting in his hotel room.  I worked on the house to fixit up for sale.   End of September now.It was a very short summer with very few nice weekends to do anything. I hope I can find something to do this winter but I doubt it.  I amnot much of a Winter person.  I was thinking of maybe trying a bitof skiing but I have never done it before and don't know anyone who canget me into it.  I am the type of person that likes someone to getme into things rather than me going out and doing it myself.

         I am trying very hardto be more out going but it is a little hard.  I don't know why Ialways feel so alone even with all the people and family around me.  I have alot of co workers that I get alone with,  2 sons,  amother,  and some sisters who live about 3 hours away but still Ifeel very alone.  Not Connecting with anyone.

              Its January 2001.  Nothing going on.  I plan to drive down to Long Island to visit my Mom and Sis.  Will see how that goes.
  Here is a pic of my brother danny and his wife and son. He has another son and daughter as well now.  He lives down south.

        Its February now.  Did not get down to Long Island.  Things came up.   Went bowling a couple of weeks ago, for the first timein my life.  I liked it.  When to a Golf driving range for thefirst time last week.  Hit some balls.  It was alright.

        Feeling very lonely these days.  Trying not to harden my heart.  When I close my heartand make it hard I don't feel as lonely and I can go on with my life. But I don't live life I just go on day to day.  When my heart is openI live life more but I feel too much.  It is almost like I have beenexisting for years and just woke up one day and realized that my life haspast me by.   Well enough of that.  I will say more later. More pics when I can.
 Well December 2001 and things have gotten a little better. Got a nicetattoo to cover up an old one that I was tired of. Thinking of getting more. Thinking of getting into Tattoos. Getting more and more used to being alone but still don't like it much. Been trying to get back into drawing and painting. Something I used to do as a hobbie when I was a teenager. Don't know how thats going to go. Been down to Woodstock New York a few times this past summer. I just love it there. Its still has the old artsy Village feel to it. Maybe someday I will buy a small house there.Been down to see my Family down in Long Island. Everyone is doing fine. Had a chance to see Brooklyn again after very long time. Has not changed much.   Spent a week in Downtown manhatten for a Unix Class. Saw Ground Zero where the World Trade Center used to be. Man it is weird. I used to work right next door to it years ago before I moved upstate New York. I will miss it.

   That's all for now.   I will update this whenI can.   Peace and much love ..
