Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangster!
*The Bio*
Yea... I'm Chris Bernardo born in Chicago, Illinois on January 17, 1985. I move to Schaumburg cuz My parents no longer wished to live in the ghetto... and I cried myself to sleep every night... A lot about my childhood in Chicago has been forgotten. We moved to Schaumburg, Illinois before I entered Kindergarten. I met my best friend Kiran then... probably because he lives four houses down. We've been best friends for 12 years now. I remember the first time we played together I punched him in the face because I thought he was ugly. Just for the record... He still is...lol. Anyway, I went to Grade School at Collins. Collins was great, recess, the spider web, tackle football in the snow.... Steve Sosnowski. In Collins, I developed long lasting friendships with pretty much all of my friends. Some of my closest friends I've kept since the Collins days are Kiran, Eric, Josh, Matt, Tim, Glenn, Dave, Mike... and probably more.
Collins Days Memories: First Grade I flipped Kiran over when we were playing mercy! Fifth grade... Rebels Vs. Royal Rejects... Jump to Sixth grade... best class ever!!! Staple Wars, Kiran Catching the Banana wrapped in foil, April Fools Day, Steve Drinking the tainted Milk, Steve licking the used condom, Football in the snow... ahhh good times.
*Back To the Bio*
So I graduated from Collins at the top of my class... okay, I was actually an idiot. I moved on to Jr. High at Frost. Frost too was excellent. Frost was the time I realized that I loved Music, one of my few escapes from life. Band was fun, Me and Josh grew close because of band... even though he quit. Nothing really happened in seventh grade. I joined wrestling and made J.V... behind Sean Maher, he was strong. I don't think I ever won a match... I was awful. Eighth grade was fun tho. We had the best Lunch hour. It consisted of me and Kiran making fun of Dave cuz of his dildo collection... remember that? Ahhhh... good times. Study Hall consisted of me and Jack making cat noises to Ed, it kept us busy for hours. Ummm... English class was cool. We had Mrs. Mallidis, she was terrible, but the class was fun. It was me, and Josh getting in trouble on a daily basis. History was cool too, it consisted of Me, Tim Ozog, Mike Ragano, and Sam Tortorice getting yelled at by Mr. Hallet and then getting beaten. I like to think that Junior High was my defining year, this is when I figured out that I was extremely obnoxious, I didn't have to be a complete idiot, girls didn't find me totally repulsive, and I made some more friends who I'm still tight with.
Frost Memories: Dave's Dildo collection, possibly the longest running joke ever... homerun derby behind Kevin Havlik's house, our crazy bike-riding/walking adventures, Vodka soaked Altoids!!! Hiding in the washrooms instead of going to class, trumpet sectionals when the girl called a teacher a crazy bitch really loud, when me and Jason Brandenburg were enemies one day then great friends the next, bologna and tang fest '99 (by far the worst party ever). Me and Jason making fun of Kirk all throughout graduation practice. There were a lot... anything else??? Tell more if you want to add on.

After Jr. High... I entered High school at Conant. You learn a lot about yourself in High School. I learned that my dad is a psycho. Freshman year was kind of bogus, nothing really happened. I made new friends... but that's no surprise. I didn't really like Freshman year... so let's move on to Sophomore year... Best year yet. I had some crazy powerhouse classes... and me and Justin became really good friends cuz we had lunch together. Sure... our lunch sucked... but we made the best of it. Me, Justin, and Tim J. played pranks left and right. Urine dollar, Menacing the freshman, bashing that ugly guy... Rajin? Yea... good times. But back to the powerhouse classes. The last two periods were party classes. I'll never forget those classes. Chemistry with Mrs. McCoy. It was at the beginning Me, Kiran, Megan, and Tim messing everything up to crazy extents and then letting McCoy fix it for us... but there was a drawback... Tim got kicked out of our class. But second semester was crazy style. Me, Kiran, Nhil, Joan, Monica, and Megan playing games all day and causing a ruckus. Ahhh... good times. And Eddie... those were some terrible terrible days. Then eighth period with the dreaded Jane Anderson. It was such a party class but we couldn't have fun cuz it definitely wasn't a party teacher. I remember the first class, I kept myself entertained by covering up the "r" on Kiran's shirt from Britches for 50 straight minutes. It was pretty bad. But anyways... the class was Me, Kiran, Dave, Sebastian, Cait, Nicole, Monica, and Jenny... it was crazy style. I slept virtually everyday in that class. But I passed!!! Good times in sophomore year. Then Junior year... oh Junior year... the best year yet. Downside... I got kicked out of AP Physics... but I can justify that, I suck!!! But everything else is pretty cool... sure I hate my Dad with a passion, I'm grounded pretty much every fucking day, I'm a loser, People in general don't like me, and there are grade school kids with a longer curfew than me... but I enjoy stuff, I try to make the best of things. I finally defined who I am, what I do, who my friends are... I'm pretty sure things are final, and I would be perfectly glad with it. So anyways... in high school, I strengthened my musical capabilities by sticking with band, taking up the guitar and bass, re-learning the piano, singing more, and writing music. I stuck with gymnastics for three years. I did the international fair repping Filipinos for 2 years. I did the v-show with Next Image Junior year. Yea... I'd say I've accomplished a decent amount In my High School Career.
Conant Memories: Team Banana, Slap games which I taught to everyone... not Joan, Ate's obnoxious friends, Gary and Steve... need I say more, Freshman year gymnastics... the best team ever, when me and Nhil were enemies, freshman year international fair, the summer without Kiran, Jane's oxygen machine... because there clearly isn't already an abundance of it, gap kids, the Carl Press/Paul Komotanen comic strips regarding entropy, our first screen play, our second third and fourth screen play, when glowsticking was cool. There were a lot... I'll add more at a later date.
