BioI am Joshua Steven Silverman from Wellesley, Massachusetts. Father is Lawrence Silverman-jew, mother, Wendy Silverman-episcopal. I was raised unitarian, though i am a fervent agnostic, if there is such a thing. I rose through the ranks of elementary school insulting teachers, and amusing peers. However, concerned adults decided it was ADHD with a little mix of things here and there. Don't forget the tourettes. Forced to change school in the 3rd grade, I attended the Manville school where I was poked prodded and evaluated on many occasions. Most fun were the times that the "counselors" restrained students, wouldn't want them to harm anyone now would we?
So, middle school rolls around and its time to assimilate. Back in the the frey as some may call it. Don't know anyone, teased by those remembered from elementary school. 6th grade sucked. Move to 7th grade. Made friends, listened to ska, ska punk, played in a band, kicked out of a band, grow apart from frineds, including best friend. Move to new crowd, liberal granola chomping pseudo-hippies. Awesome time, play in another band, genre: funk. But by Freshman year I've grown apart. Move from group to group, at times just me. Sophomore year, moved to a bad group. MMMM, drugs, school sucks!, these kids actually suck (I realize maybe a bit too late) and its time to reform. Too bad I now have depression (to go with my ADD, not hyper activity at least, in fact i've mellowed out quite a bit from those years, must have been the drugs they fed me at Manville, or just my new found apathy towards the world). So, time to meet with some more doctors, something i've done one too many times in my life. MMMM, more perscription drugs, anybody for some ritalin, zoloft and wellbutrin? Good mix. Fuck it, I drop it all, keep to myself, but always knowing exactly what I'm doing. D- to A in Chemistry, and a new found interest in politics (thank you Ayn Rand). I've got friends, you know those old ska kids/skaters from middle school, now transformed into fanatical music nerds. Fine by me. Feel a bit better, want to make a living, and bada bing bada boom, after a whole lot of fucking slaving i'm actually into my first choice college (wow, what was i thinking). Depressions still there, but senior year definetally kicks ass. More social, smarter, and happier. And now college, and if you're here you've already seen what a disaster that is. Probably leaving out a lot of shit, but thats only because I've forced it out of my mind.
