~INTRODUCTION~

All Louis remembers growing up as a boy is his desire to find true and meaningful love. Louis grew up without a father. The greatest influence in his life was his Grandfather, who passed away when Louis was still a boy. From that point on, Louis found comfort and guidance in punk rock. Junkie guitar players and gravel voice lead singers provided the escape Louis so desperately needed. Louis left home at eighteen and he took the big city by storm. He found himself in fist fights with men twice his size, and in bed with women ten years his senior. It was also at this time when Louis found himself in the grips of addiction. Louis fully embraced the gangster life style. He never cared about the money or the power. For Louis, it was all about the fast women and the easy fuck. As
