  Frank Edwin Wright III was born December 9, 1972 in Frankfurt, Germany, making him the youngest member of Green Day. He lived in the Mendocino mountains, California with his dad and his 2 older siblings. His dad, a helicopter pilot in Vietnam, decided the move the family there to insulate them upon his return to the United States. Tre's closest neighbor was none other than Lookout! Records owner Lawrence Livermore, who also owned the punk band the Lookouts. At age 12, Livermore recruited Tre to join The Lookouts, and that's when Livermore gave him the name of Tre Cool (which means Very Cool in French). After Green Day's first tour around the country (following the release of 39/Smooth), John Kiffmeyer decided to leave Green Day. Looking no farther than Gilman Street, Billie Joe and Mike recruited Tre, who was already a 5 year veteran of the Gilman Street scene.

  Tre decided to drop out of high school his sophmore year. However, he did pass an equivalency test and earned his GED, and he even began taking classes at a nearby community college. He had to drop out of college however, when the demands of Green Day's touring intensified. Tre's father, who owns a small trucking company, overhauled a used bookmobile, and even served as the driver on three seperate tours. "I watched them go from a bunch of kids to a group of musicians with work ethic," says Tre's father, Frank Wright. "On their first tour or two, it was more of a party than anything else. I still scratch my head and say, 'How in the hell did they make it?' They used to practice in my living room here -- a lot of the songs they did on Dookie. You hear it coming together, and you don't expect people are going to go out and buy it. But when it does, you just say, 'Wow, that's so cool.'" (Rolling Stone, January 26, 1995)

  Tre had a daughter named Ramona in January of 1995, then he married his long time girlfriend Lisea Lyons in March. Him and Lisea are divorced now, but Tre remarried in May of 2000, to Claudia. Claudia and him have a son named Frankito, which means "Little Frank". Tre and Claudia divorced in 2003, but they still live together with Frankito in Oakland, California. Recently, Tre has been linked to Donna C., drummer of The Donnas, however they are no longer together.

 

Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends

Posted at 3:28 AM, Dec. 5, 2005

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost

Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began

Wake me up when september ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars

Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost

Wake me up when september ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Twenty years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

All over again

Summer break is over, and I'm back to classes, worries, having less time for myself and everything... Well, the guy from the club did call, we went out a couple of times but it just didn't worked out. Maybe I expect too much of people, I don't know... I'm gonna take this next weekend to be with my friends and see if they can cheer me up a bit.

Quiet Day

Posted at 11:28 AM, Jul. 17, 2005

Haven't got anything very interesting to say, today I stayed at home with Jack, my ferret, I clean up the mess in my appartment and watched a movie. It was good though, to rest a while and think about life, listen to my favorite songs and talk to my friends on the internet. The guy from the club hasn't call, but I'm not worried about it, "What will be, will be".

Summer!

Last night, I went out with my two best friends: Amy and Susan and we had a lot of fun! I even met this really cute guy and we danced and talked a lot I hope he calls me...

Some Poetry

The Lip and the Heart

(by John Quincy Adams)

 

One day between the Lip and the Heart
A wordless strife arose,
Which was expertest in the art
His purpose to disclose.

The Lip called forth the vassal Tongue,
And made him vouch—a lie!
The slave his servile anthem sung,
And braved the listening sky.

The Heart to speak in vain essayed,
Nor could his purpose reach—
His will nor voice nor tongue obeyed,
His silence was his speech.

Mark thou their difference, child of earth!
While each performs his part,
Not all the lip can speak is worth
The silence of the heart.

France

I decided that I'm not traveling to France so soon. But I'm gonna start putting some money together so I can travel right after I graduate and maybe improve my studies in biology in another coutry in Europe or something... This way, I have more time to prepare myself and get everything ready. Feeling kindda relieved now...

Eiffel Tower

Posted at 7:28 PM, Apr. 26, 2005

 

Built for the 1889 Exposition Universelle (World Fair), held to commemorate the centennial of the Revolution, the Tour Eiffel was the world's tallest structure at 320m (1050ft) until Manhattan's Chrysler Building was completed.

Initially opposed by the city's artistic and literary elite - who were only affirming their right to disagree with everything - the tower was almost torn down in 1909. Salvation came when it proved an ideal platform for the antennas needed for the new science of radiotelegraphy. Just southeast of the tower is a grassy expanse that was once the site of the world's first balloon flights and is now used by teens as a skateboarding arena or by activists bad-mouthing Chirac.

When you're done peering upward through the girders, three levels are open to the public. There are elevators to the top but they have long queues. You can avoid the queues by walking up the stairs in the south pillar to the 1st or 2nd platforms. Guided visits are also available.

Jack!

This is my ferret Jack! Isn't he the cutest?! I have him since he was a baby... Ferrets are loyal, playful, intelligent, affectionate, and full of hilarious antics.   I have never met a person who didn't laugh after seeing a happy ferret leap and bounce around a room during play!  Ferrets can easily help chase the blues away after a hard day.

It's not easy to take care of a ferret, but if you really want one, it certainly pays off!

Confused...

I can't stop thinking about this opportunity to travel to France. Altough I didn't felt very confortable with the idea at first, we would be so good to take some to travel, relax and forget about college. I've been just so stressed with my studies, I think I push it too hard to get my degree as soon as possible... I need some advice, gonna call my mom and talk to some friends about it.

traveling or not traveling...

A very close friend of mine invited me to travel to France with her. She has some relatives living there and she intends to spent a couple of months in Paris... she said she would even lend me some money for that... but I'm not ready to go on a trip like that... and I wouldn't feel comfortable living in somebody else's home...

Weekend!

Posted at 5:17 AM, Apr. 16, 2005

My favorite part of the week! Well, I like other days, but is just so good to have this time to rest... My cousin Beth is coming over to visit me, we're going out dancing and tomorrow I really wanna go to the movies - I just love it, but I haven't had time to do it lately... Do you have any suggestions of movies? I heard that "Sahara" is a great one!
