That big Green House

When Joey, Allen and me first saw Imrie house I thought it was a dump. Three years later realize it was a place of haven where a bond will build between close friends. We all know the value of true friendship. It builds and grows over the years and we start understanding each other by not even verbally communicating. Using words such as "yesh", "VG", "not el much" as friends it was very common for each other acknowledge that we are doing allright or things are going good. How is that when we all have our own lives that at some point when you join the Imrie boys together time is endless?

Allen Carrescia (aka Italian Stalian) : Allen was the Godfather. He was the Marquis of Imrie. He brought the group pretty much together. The first time I met Allen his famous quote "school pants" came into effect. He was the straight forward conservative liberal. Believed in the church and his outlook and his upbringing brought him out as a strong leader. If Allen never was in the music business he could be a great entrepenuer. Allen became the authority were he assigned everyone to duties in terms of bills and house maintaince. He always believed in doing the right thing and he would stand for it. He was the so-called elder brother in the whole group.

Eric Espiritu (aka Mogli): Eric and I went back to the days of Berklee dorms where we watched basketball from the internet. He became the side kick of Allen in the house and eventually will become the co-founder with his friend Majid and myself to create nonsense Imrish language. Talented with his guitar, Eric can pull out any tune if he just listens to it once or twice. The best quality for Eric is he believes in best of everyone. He believes everyone can progress higher because he believes that they can do it.

Christian Lehman (aka Boomer) : The youngest of the group, Lehman became one of my best friends and like a little big brother. Young by age but wiser than his age group Christian and me met on the green grass of Imrie. Guitarist by birth Christian is the young god father since the depature of allen. Christian and me can hang out and enjoy our company by not even saying a word for 6 hours. An integral part of the Imrish lifestyle Christian is still moving up in this world and living his life out.

Ethan Mentzer (aka MOM): Ethan was the slow spoken Pennsylvanian dutch boy. His room was the old grandma's bedroom. With his counterpart Romansky, he is one of a kind. that's all you can say

Ben Romans (aka Romansky): Ben was the eccentric genius who became the social chair of the group. what can you say about Ben well: Slip and slide, printer drop out, emersen wild fair, and his famous duck words "Oh My God!!"

Nate Campany (aka Bruce): Nate is one my long time friends from dorms. The outgoing beard man bruce, Nate was the big mouth of the Imrie house. Arguing over anything he would bring excitment even in a video game. Nate's artistic talents are enourmous. One of my favorite song writers Nate seems to show his talents slowly to the rest of the world and soon Nathanial Campany of Cleveland Heights will be known.

Joe Guesse (aka the doctor): Joe was the MAN. Take Hemingway and take Jefferson and put them together. An outstanding political talker Joe and me I feel can rock down the senate and go against any senator. A genius who did not need education to prove himself and a true friend who believed in the goodness of people, this catholic boy sure knows what he is talking about.

Joey Zehr (aka white chocolate): Joey was the integral part of the social life in Imrie. He dazzled the group by introducing hot girls and his outgoing personality. A talented drummer and muscian he truly brought out Imrie. Without Joey my life in boston would have been so different. He is truly a brother. After knowing him from the first day of moving to dorms Joey and me go a long way. Expressing everything open he always brought the humor and the practicality of enjoying life.

Jamie Alter (aka 10th roomate): Jamie is my blood brother. After knowing him for 10 years there is not much you can say expect BACARDI AND COLA. Jamie's lifestlye came into Imrie after he moved from Ohio and lived in my room for a brief time. He was the unofficial roomate who hanged out!! James and me have lived through it all!!!

Ashwin Raj (aka shwin): The only Indian apart from Jamie (the indian ferang) I came to Boston thinking that it is an another place just like the others I have lived in. Yet I found my experiences here the most awarding. Joining the Network department in Berklee as an administrator and learning the culture of US I learned and taught and lived with the Imrie boys.

To take all of us and mix into the melting pot we truly have enriched our lives. Joey, Joe, ethan and Ben went on to become the Click five. Eric is one the verge of breaking out with his band as the Teenage Symphonies. Nate's solo work has been a blessing and he is moving up in the music business world. Christian still young and is moving up in the Paradice Rock club. Jamie found his dream job by joining Wisden cricket and is starting to enjoy his work. And Allen nows owns a record label company along with his band.

But at the end of the day you bring all these characteristics together you will only hear these word "AAH YESH...WARY GEWD"
