Funny is in his genes/jeans...!
Being multiracial in the 70's & 80's was difficult. Neither race accepted him.
Squishy was an outsider. This inability to "fit in" led Squishy to become a high
school dropout, alcoholic, crack & meth addict and was incarcerated for a brief period.
Squishy has constantly battled with manic depression (bipolar disorder). He was officially
diagnosed in his late teens.
Squishy eventually obtained his
G.E.D., then graduated
from Washburn University, with a
Bachelor's Degree in Clinical Psychology. 2 years
later, Squishy received his
Master's Degree from the University of Kansas.
