Introduction

The main aim for this blog is self expression. I tend to vacillate between not giving a fuck what people think and being extra sensitive not to offend anyone. I will write about whatever is on my mind.I may ramble at times. I am not here to impress anybody or write what I think people want to read. The writings and of a few people have inspired me to start this blog, Tucker Max, Steven B. Green, Dennis LaValle, Chris Illiminati, Gertrude Stein, Hank Williams III, Eminem, Nico, Yoko Ono, I do not want to be a pale copy of any of these people. They main inspiration I get from these people is that they are true to being themselves. Also in this blog I will explore why my brain malfunctions the way it does.
I was born and raised in the United States, but my point of view is more international. I enjoy humor from Eastern Europe more than I do that of this country. My favorite filmmaker is Krzysztof Kieślowski. I love music from all over the world. It is not unusual for me to go from listening to Jacques Brel to Hank III to Eminem to Orlík to Laibach to Yoko Ono to Richard Müller to Pansy Division to Tupac...( I definitely don't agree with Orlík's politics, but I enjoy the sound of their music.) Mostly I enjoy reading things that make me laugh and/or think. Some of my favorite books are I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, by Tucker Max, Everybody's Autobiography by Gertrude Stein, Assholeology by Steven B. Green, Dennis Lavalle and Chris Illuminati, The Rose That Grew From From Concrete by Tupac Shakur and books by Nikki Giovanni and Alain Robbe-Grillet.
Growing up I was constantly bullied for being small, gay, and being different. Because of this I feel strong connection with groups of people who are considered to be "other." I believe that we should all be allowed to express our beliefs (or lack of belief) and our individuality.
I enjoy learning other languages, and I definitely need to work on my language skills. We all have our areas where we excel and this just happens to be mine. Growing up in a small town in North Carolina I was often asked what country I was from. Once I was told by the manager of a store that I did not need to apply for a job, because if I was hired the owner of the store would fire me because I was not American enough. Oh well, that was long ago.
I am very liberal in my political views. I think that the political system in the U.S. is broken as it is now.
I am a Christian, but I sometimes struggle with faith. Some of the hateful Christians make me understand what Gandhi said about wanting to be a Christian until he met one.
I am at my happiest when I am free to be myself and laugh with friend.
(I am learning how to do some things here. I am not sure why some of the text appears differently fro, the rest. I will figure that out later. The important part is getting started.)
