: About Me

I am a free thinker & Writer!

I run to exercise & I write to exorcise(tm)

Let's see: I was born to unprepared parents that didn't know squat about parenting. They knew more about Sex, Drugs & Rock 'N Roll than they did about raising a group of kids. Consequently me and my brothers and sister grew up basically on our own, dysfunctionally, of course.

I received a head trauma from my father (one of his better days!) at fifteen and because of that I recall sporadic episodes which make no sense to me and have trouble believing some are real, esp. before the age of sixteen. Other recollections I speak of w/ my aunt and my therapist appear unusually difficult for them to believe to be true. Thus I am in a constant state of belief and disbelief inwardly and outwardly.

I am a student at a local University and doing quite well, considering all. I am writing as often as possible - to the point of being a hermit. They tell me I am difficult to get along with and that is why relationships with boys never last beyond the first sexpisode. Selectivity is not one of my bright spots.

That's basically it for now. "Change is the only constant" so do come back...

Each Morning I Turn on the War Each morning I turn on the war and it's the same as before. I want to unsubscribe, but I stare and compare. I am obliged and alive, held and tore, to watch how they die and how they survive. The war goes on and on and on; a terrible sin; a no win situation, death by car-bomb and mutilation. I tremble and I waff, in disgust, I turn it off. It's the tragic horror that I abhor; I don't want to see it anymore. ABC, BBC, CSPAN and CNN talk about it more and more, until they bore; and civilians are dying while the ratings soar. Still, each morning, I turn on the war
