: About Me

I like to think up bizarre things and explore them beyond any reasonable bounds to an end that serves no worthwhile, real world, purpose. It entertains me. It is my hope that it will be entertaining for others as well. That is why I am subjecting myself to this.

Writing is as close to hell as I have ever been, yet anyway. But it is the best way to communicate these thoughts with the rest of the world. Writing is hard for me because I am rarely pleased with the phrasing of certain things and have to constantly revise and rephrase. Many things I have composed never see the light of day because I get aggravated with trying to get my thoughts across in just that certain way, and can't. So I don't and it gets trashed and then forgotten.

I have a little girl who is 5 and will be starting kindergarten this year. She is as sweet and kind hearted as they come and I fear for her "journey" through the school system. I also have a boy who is 3. His name is Max after the boy in Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are". He lives up to his name.

I hate when you're eating a can of Pringles and your hand just can't reach that last three inches of chips at the bottom of the can. So you have to tilt the can up and then all of the crumbs come tumbling out on you and you break up otherwise perfectly good and whole chips in the process. I hate when you're eating those chewy Sweet Tarts and you swallow the juice the wrong way and it damn near strangles you. It's not like it goes into your lungs or anything but you can't breathe right for at least five minutes after one of these ordeals. Just try and explain what's wrong with you to the fo...
