Anthony Hight aka 'AntMan'
Born March 21, 1986 Anthony Hight was born and raised in the small town of Ship Bottom, NJ on Long Beach Island; just on the south-eastern side of the Jersey Coast. Son to Mary and George Hight and older siblings Darlene, Bridget and Frank. His childhood here was fun and filled with laughter and promise, as he had plenty of friends but a short temper. When a few bullies at school started to pick on him, he showed them that he would not be picked on. It was either his childhood vigor or a little imbalance in his head which caused him to scream "Mortal Kombat" one day during recess and and kick some bully ass. He made it a point to turn the bullying against one student, who happened to be older than him, and make fun of him everyday until inevitably and quite submissively he moved away. Not the proudest moments in his life, but ones he will never forget for it showed him how to stand ground for himself and the feeling of self-respect one must obtain when being brought down by another. He lived on LBI until the age of 10, wherein his parents decided to move to Satellite Beach, Florida. His youth here was more so problematic, as it can be when attempting to meet new friends at a new school and being delivered nothing but daily critiques on the clothes he wore and an ever constant vilifying with the usage of the word "poser". This was discouraging for Anthony, but did not seem to completely null his ability to stand up for himself, which landed him in the principles office more times than he would like to remember. Middle school took him a step up, with a few more fights and a couple more friends, he began to talk to more people and even get a distaste for establishment. Come High School, our young, impressionable Anthony had become the only thing one who feels angry and left out can become...a punk rocker. Though he enjoyed being kicked out of classrooms where teachers had the teaching skills of dead moths and personalities of psycho-babbling valley girls, he felt it was time to leave the school system as he knew it. He dropped out of high school half way through tenth grade. This was easy for him because his parents were in constant battle with eachother, with his father having to constantly go work as a merchant marine to support his family, and his mother becoming somewhat of a walking cliche with her inability to stay loyal to her husband, it caused strain to his father and caused Anthony to be able to do what he wanted to because his mother could no sooner tell him what to do, as he could no sooner tell her to stop screwing around. It was an unhealthy relationship which ultimately caused him to move out and start a spiral of drinking and drug addiction. To Be Appended
