(top of article)

My Name is Trent, which is an River in England. I¹m The first born, of The first born, of The, of The first born, And Also 1st Fuck-up In my Family.

I was The Great Great Son of The Black Family, with close ties/Marriage To The Grants. Yeah, Ulysses; The Famous Drunken Pres. And The Gov. on The North who Quelched The Civil War. Maybe I¹m A Relative of Shirley Temple, But I Don¹t Know the words to ³Good Ship Lollipop². I¹m Also Irish (O¹Connell): My GRANDDAD on my mother¹s side (her dad) who chose to live in a cave in Torrey Pines Ca. He CARVED EGYPTIAN MOTIFS AND mythical IMAGES into THE Stones AND LEFT A Guestbook For Fellow TRAVELLERS TO Sign. No one Trashed
his House. NO ONE DEFILED THE SANCTUARY. HE WAS AN ARTIST, AS IS MY MOM.
HE DIED IN 1992 AND IT ALMOST KILLED me. THEY FILLED HIS ART WORK
AND SANCTUARY WITH CONCRETE, DESTROYING A LIFETIME OF WORK. HE WAS OFFICIALLY CALLED ŒTHE HERMIT OF TORRY PASS¹.
THAT WAS MY GRANDFATHER... .
