INTRODUCTION

At first you might be asking yourself who the hell is this guy and further more, what the hell is the big deal about this damn tight ship he’s yapping about.

Who am I? Who I am? It doesn’t really matter but I’m willing to give you a bit of history on myself. The name’s Dan and I am 27. I was born in Puerto Rico, moved into Brooklyn, N.Y. when I was 2, then moved to Staten Island about a year later. I attended Pre-School through High School over there in Staten Island. I did a bit of College in Brooklyn but didn’t complete my degree.

I’ve always lived with both my parents and brother until 5 years ago when I moved out with my main squeeze into an apartment in Astoria, N.Y. My brother and I mostly hung around Italian and Irish fellas and still are very close to them to this day.

I also had the luxury of hanging out with my older uncle and a few of his friends which became very close friends of mine. My uncle is a DJ and with him I was able to get into every night club he worked in. I did that every weekend from the ages of 14 through 21. You don’t even have to ask if I was an under age drinker, because I will gladly tell you I was drinking every damn night I went out. I had the time of my life out there. But besides having such a good time, I was learning how to act like an adult and I was becoming an older man at a young age. I was running around with older women left and right. I mean they were anywhere from 21 to 30 years old and I was only 17 or 18.

During all this running around I spent more time with some girls than others. I went through some hard relationships and had some nice ones. All I can say is that I just turned 27 and I know I’ve learned a lot more than most because of what I’ve been exposed to in the past.

Now let’s get to your second thought. The Tight Ship thing. I’ll try to explain the phrase in as least amount of words as possible so we can just get into it already.
