My best friend all throughout Childhood was bad news. He got me involved in all kinds of trouble from shoplifting to vandalism to arson… and that was during kindergarden.
 
Greg lived 7 doors down from us on Doncaster Street at 17 mile in Sterling Heights, a place that looks every bit as it sounds. We were born just hours apart from one another so it seems fate would match us together as best friends. Greg’s nickname was Piggy because he had a voracious appetite for ice cream. Later in life, by 1st grade elementary school, he parlayed this energy into bullying all the kids at school… even the 6th graders.

By second grade, my family moved me out of that area. In the suburbs of Detroit, the further north from 8 mile you can get, the better. I found myself on a whole new path fom where I was destined… a path of computers rather than crime.
 
I hadn’t thought about Greg until I was recently contacted by his big Brother Al, who’s a real cool dude, a nostoligic soul like myself. Incredibly, Greg’s not in prison, he goes by the name Sin now and is a rock star, lead singer of detroit’s very own Zug Izland.
 
I’m happy to see he’s doing well, and look forward to catching a show sometime in 2007. Will post you Al! - Jeff
