My very first pen name born my junior year of high school when some random ex girlfriend of mine told me that no one would take me seriously as a writer untill I had like a stage name or something. God only knows why I listened to her she wasn't right about anything else and well she probably wasn't right about this either. But Aj was born that day and yes simply he is my inials backwards with some random last name I picked out of the phone book. Back then he was a abartion I conjured him but when I went to work for the school newspaper finally I had a job for him to do. Back in those days I was way into politics and stuff and that's basically what I covered for the Packet(our school newspaper). But my Journalism teacher wanted me to cover girls basketball and volleyball whatever dude hot girls in short shorts shit ya I'm in plus sometimes cheerleader bitches fuckin a a target rich enviroment. But I didn't want anyone to think that tuff ass Josh had gone soft and started covering girls sports or non sports as the case may be. So then I watch this Andy Kaufman special late one night when I couldn't sleep and well in the style of Tony Clifton man I was goin to have two personalities and Aj would be the nice guy and Josh would be the loud ass jerk. So I started taking two sets of clothes with me to school casue well cause Aj always dressed like a pimp in a suit or at the very least a shirt and tie. I played Aj up real suave and shit it was cool almost to the point that people started to believe he was another was another student well maybe not but they always looked at me with doubt in their eyes like is that really Josh or not? And well for my junior year it was cool man it was a little game that I got to play on everyone.
So after that Aj sorta disappered for awhile untill I got out of rehab and started writng poetry and music again. Then once again I made Aj the sensitive side of my persona, I wanted Josh to be tuff and mean and the all together buisnessman and I wanted navy to return to being the life of the party even though in those day I wasn't goin to very many parties. I was workin building a career and well Aj was writin mad wicked cool poetry and he so got a lot of it published and well he was so close to getting paid to do so and then Trishia died and well Aj went away stuffed in the box with Navy and well Josh was left to deal with the pain.
Then I move to Indianna and sit in the corn fields writing wicked sad depressing shit and well Aj came back to me like right out of the corn and I thought he was like a child of the corn or something but hey it was good to have him back and well we startd to write, and now like 5 years later we are still writing. Of course Aj took a little break from the poetry to write Detroit Sports for Fortress America and well, that's where I strted to lose control of him again. During his time on FA Aj was penned by myself, by my close friend Benny Jet, my other close friend Kevin, and some dude in Italy who was all about american sports. Now that FA has gone away well I am back with my friend Aj and we are deciding where is career is goin to go next I would love to publisha book of poetry with him but poetry is a hard sell a lot of the time, below are links to some of Aj's work of course it is only the stuff I penned using this name. ENJOY!!
