There is no more News.

I have no more Articles to read.

I am forced to provide my own amusement, since You Bastards
are not posting fast enough to suit Me.
--------------------------------------------------tear------------------

My name is little bongo. 
I was born Christian Allen Lipski 5/30/68 in Los Gatos, CA.
I have a brother named Kevin (2/10/70) who went to UC Santa Cruz.
I am 6 feet tall, weigh 170 pounds, with shoulder-length blond 
hair and blue eyes. My left ear has three piercings, my right has two.
I am half Polish, half Irish, or thereabouts.

Dear Father worked for AT&T, and, since his job was only slightly
more sedentary than an Army position, we relocated frequently. First
to Louisville KY [you can't spell Kentucky without a K-Y]. Thence
to Danville, KY. Then to Birmingham AL. Then to Long Valley, NJ.
Then {finally} to CA's San Francisco Bay Area. The longest residence
was in Danville KY, where I lived for 7 years from the time I was
3. I never had very many close friends. I'm sure I have plenty of
neuroses as a result.

I was raised Catholic. My father was Catholic, my mother Southern
Methodist, converted to Catholicism. I went to Catholic School for
4 years. I no longer attend Mass on a regular basis; however, I
do still hold a mystical reverence towards the Church and a curious
fascination about its history. It also makes an interesting spot 
to take a date.

I went to university at UC Berkeley. My SAT's were 10M20V. I played 
snare drum and quad-toms in the marching band for four years. 
I spent my free time [which was most of the time] dressing like 
a freak and performing in the Rocky Horror Picture Show [separately]. 
I majored in Physics for three years until it eventually disgusted me. 
I graduated a year and a half later in Spanish Literature.

I left college in December 1990 to face 3 months of unemployment. After
working part-time at Peet's Coffee and Crown Books, I got a job at
Sybase, Inc. as a Tech Support Analyst. It is the perfect niche for 
a Spanish Lit major. I've been here for a year and eight months and
I love my job and it's better than sex and that's why I had to kill them all. 
I am nothing without News.

I live in San Francisco in a studio apartment for $610/mo. plus
utilities. This will only be until the end of the month when my
fiancee Michele, her son Alexander (3), and I [hopefully] find a house 
in El Sobrante to move into, prior to our June marriage. 

My goals are to have a successful music career and a successful marriage.
Failing that, I'll settle for a steady job with a newsfeed and money to
spend on books and CD's.

I spend what little extra time I have reading 
[sf, News, medieval spanish lit., science, trash romance, trivia, classics],
listening to music
[bowie-eno-t.rex-numan-handel-sweet-ant-stryper-ice cube-
 u2-presley-parliament-foetus-medieval devotional &c], 
playing guitar at home
[mediocrily]
and playing drums in my band "Calling Voice" at Irish pubs 
and college campuses around the Bay Area. 
I have no pets, but I do have a strong sense of ethics.
