[swoosh] It's my junior year of high school, okay...
and I'm 16 and I have to
set it up for you a little bit. I went to private school for high school.
It wasn't a school for the blind or anything like that. It was
just a regular private school up in Connecticut. I'll tell you. It was
called Canterbury School. You know, I wasn't a very good student. I wasn't very focused
and stuff and so my parents gave me a choice. They said,
"Look, you can either go away to school or you go to parochial school here
in town." And I said, "Well, I guess I'll be seeing you guys."
So I went off to boarding school and I went to Canterbury School.
It's my junior year of high school. It's the weekend right before
Thanksgiving. And Thanksgiving break, you know, we went home on
Tuesday and stayed all the way through til Sunday and you're back Sunday night
and school starts up again Monday morning, right.
It's the Saturday before... The other thing you that you have to know is that
at Canterbury we had classed on Wednesday. We had a half day
on Wednesday and we had a half day on Saturday. So this particular
Saturday, the one before Thanksgiving, I got out of class and
a couple kids were going downtown. They're like, "Hey, do you want to come down? We're having
this party at this barn and stuff." I was like, "Yeah, sure. Why not?"
I didn't have much money. I figured what they hey, we'll go down
have a nice time. Have a couple beers or drink some cheap
wine or something like that. Me and this other kid, we were like the last
people to get there and I had a little bit of wine.
It was cheap, cheap wine like Thunderbird or
some garbage like that. And so there was some beer too and I might have had
a beer a little bit of wine and that was it. But it was up
in this barn and you had to climb up this ladder and stuff and
get in. We had this local kid, too. We called them "townies"
in those days. And this kid was with us and stuff
and I don't even know why but he was. And we're hanging out
and all of the sudden... the cops come.
Right? And we're on private property. We're trespassing. Totally.
And all these kids flee. They all split from this barn. They're like boop, boop, boop.
You know, out they go. And I'll never forget the cop yelling at me going, "Hey!
Yo! Come on! Get down here!" I was like, "Um, sir,
I'm blind. I need a little bit of help." "Yeah of course you are, come on."
I was like, "No, I really need help." And the cop
was like, "Oh, you really are. Okay, let me give you hand here, kid." And he helped
me to the little ladder and things. And I walked down
and now I'm freaking out. I'm like, "Oh my god.
This is it. We're in so much trouble."
Like, this is bad. This is real
bad. So I'm hanging out with all these
other kids and at that time my Spanish was pretty. I was taking ---
I had studied a lot of Spanish and I was fairly fluent
in those days. And so I'm talking to a couple
of the girl that were with us who spoke Spanish and we're speaking in Spanish
trying to figure out a plan.
The plan we came up with was a good one. I think this
would have worked. We decided that we were all sort of runaways
and we wound up together in New Milford, Connecticut.
[laughs] Right?
Runaways go to like Port Authority in Manhattan or they go to Chicago
or Los Angeles. No, no, no. We all wound up together
in New Milford, Connecticut. How did we... I don't even know.
This was the dumbest idea in the world.
So we tried to run that and then this townie that was with us was like,
"No, these guys are from Canterbury, man." He just ratted us out.
And so now we go down to police station --- the police
headquarters in New Milford, Connecticut. And I'm sweating.
I'm like, "Oh my god. This is going to be horrible.
I've never been in this kind of trouble in my life."
And I'm sitting there and I'm nervous. And they called the school
and the school is coming to pick us up. They sent these big buses
or, you know, big vans. There was like a dozen of us. I remember
I was freaking out. I promise
you, as sure I'm sitting here, I was not drunk
at all. I was scared to death.
But I was not drunk. And I was like
"Oh my god." And I just told the cop, I said, "Listen,
I got to go to the bathroom for a second."
And he knocked on the door and there was a kid in there and he's like,
"I'm washing my hands." And I said, "Oh my god."
And I just sat down on the floor, spread my legs apart,
duck my head down and just puked right there on floor
of the police station. I'll never forget the cop going, "Hey, sarge, you better get the mop!"
[laughs] Right.
So that was that. So now the school comes
to pick us up and they got a couple big vans and stuff and they
haul all 12 of us back to the school.
"Go to your rooms and just stay there. Don't go anywhere. Don't do anything."
Like I didn't even have a cigarette or anything. I just
stayed in my room and freaked out. Now I have to call
my parents. I have to call my folks and tell them, "You know what,
I f-ed up a little bit. I'm a little bit of trouble."
[laughs] And boy, the old man was happy.
Let me tell you. He was thrilled. "Oh, great.
Fantastic! Alright, well, we'll figure out what to do with you."
I was like, "Great." The next morning I remember sitting in my room
eating Coco Krispies out of a box. No milk or anything.
Just eating them freaking out going, "Oh, the old man is going to be here soon.
And this is going to suck." And the old man
finally shows up and he's like, "Well, we got to go see
the Dean now. We're going to see the Dean of Students. This guy's
name was Jack --- the story was
that he was a Green Beret. I don't know if that's even true or not
but he always freaked us out. He was kind of a scary guy.
And I'll never forget sitting in his office with my father.
And they're going back and forth, back and forth, and this guy Goudreau is like,
"You know, there's an expression 'doing
drugs' - Now when you do things something positive is happening,
but I never understood how it could be doing drugs." I'm like, "Dude, I didn't
even take any drugs. Nothing.
I just drank." And so I sat and listened to these two and go on and on and on
and on and on and on, and then my father's like,
"Well, I guess we're going home." And I was suspended for a couple days.
So, remember I told you Thanksgiving started Tuesday. Well,
for me it started Sunday. [laughs]
So, I went home and had an extra long Thanksgiving
break and my father --- we didn't really speak of it
much after that, you know. And the nice part was
that my parents couldn't really ground me because I was never home
so what are they going to do, you know. I'm at school most of the time.
I actually went to a concert with a couple kids the night after
Thanksgiving. But we had bought tickets and stuff
and you know... what was I going to do?
My parents let me go to the show and then Sunday it was back to school
and I swear to you from that day, I think it was
November 17, I did not have a drop...
until my 18th birthday. Because in those days 18 was legal.
You could drink at 18. 18th birthday, that was a whole other thing.
But I was a good boy from
getting suspended until my birthday. My grades weren't
so much. I never liked school that much, you know. But I liked
all the fun that came with it. And boarding school was fantastic.
It was so much fun. Oh my god. Listen, if your parents are thinking
about sending you to boarding school, you got to go. It was a way
get out of the house for me. You know, it was fantastic. And I learned
a whole lot of things there to. [laughs]
Except how to get out of a barn fast. [laughs]
[music plays] Hey, don't forget you can follow me on social media
as well. I'm on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. You can
find all the links right there in the description. And the nice thing is
here if you get suspended from a social media account, they don't
send you home for a couple days.
