: About Me

My given name is Ricky Norris Faulkner. Born in the south on Labor Day in sixty, raised in the Midwest. Have touched down on many different soils, but nothing compares to Denver Colorado. Been abroad twice, now settled in the South.

I'm just me being me.I come 'as is', what you see is what you get. Will probably always look for the shortcut, love to freelance and I love to write. When I write you'll get the truth. I must warn you, I write how I talk, therefore I write all kinds of ways. There is something else...

I love mind games and mental challenges, but many times my witticism is mistaken as an unfiltered gusting wind of sarcasm. Never been interested in exclusive clubs, for these cocktails of nonevents are nothing short of exclusionary clubs...an alternate and indirect attempt at self-canonization.

There isn't a relationship in the world comparative or equivalent to my relationship with GOD, a relationship that is always work in progress...so not a choirboy! I thank GOD that I haven't gone through life combating a lot of life's addictions and excesses. But there are some other surpluses that are equally less impressive, but I'm yet battling.

My significant other is a great old-fashion gal whom I've been married to for nearly a quarter of a century, we have a son, whom we love to death.

Another thing...I don't have any qualms with or against ebony and ivory one-on-one. They are just as beautiful as or as rotten as all of the other relationships.

Don't have an earned degree from an university, an optional ignorance, but something that is superior to a high school education. But I have an earned degree in flunking many of life's tests over and over again.

Well this is a general compendium personal and up close. Interesting...maybe; intriguing...that's a stretch.

My passion is ...

Writing about any truth that will open men eyes as it relates to God.

I know too much about ...

Failure in the simplicity of day-to-day reality.

My parents always told me ...

You will probably have only 1 or 2 true friends in your lifetime.

My childhood ambition ...

To be a truck driver.

My favorite memory ...

As a little boy sitting on my grandfathers lap.

Why I write ...

A burning desire to share some truth.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

The bible/educational programming/old gospel music when I can find it.

My first job ...

White Castles

My best moment ...

Salvation (96)

My inspiration ...

God

I wish that we could change the course of our relationship, not saying that it would do us any good. But the course has already been chartered. We had a thrilling and imperfect history. We've been here so many, many times before. But our only choice was to part company, although one more heartbreak really wouldn't make a difference, just hanging on to a promise for once would do me plenty of good. Sometimes I must admit that I get lost in our lousy but sometimes thrilling and imperfect history, just not lost enough to stray down that avenue of confusion once again. When I travel down the m...
