I am a huge fan of the Highlander (only the TV series the movies suck) and Extreme Home Makeover. I don't answer my phone on Sunday nights from 8 to 9PM. Extreme Home Makeover is about families, single dads, single moms who get caught in situations they don't create but have to deal with. And that's the part that strikes me. As much as we talk about choice, and ownership of decisions, and being adult, sometimes the universe just assorts randomly and tramples all over our choice. Im not excusing anything. I understand about personal responsiility. I just know that sometimes our best intentions aren't enough. Stuff happens. And then Extreme Home Makeover supplies ..... hope. And let's us know that yeah, we are all connected and it's kinda nice to be...human. The Highlander is different. I value words like honor, and loyalty. I haven't always been able to live up to them. But it's never stopped me from trying. I believe one must have a moral code. Part of that code involves loyalty. And honor. And responsibility. And choice. All are reflected in the HighlanderTV show. When it was on in nyc I used to watch it twice a day. Duncan was flawed. Much like the Denis Leary character is flawed.
Much like me.

This blog is about whatever occurs to me. No topic is safe. I enjoy writing. I know some things but am always learning. I have this desire to question and understand what I do. It doesn't make me special...just that I wanna know. I hope you enjoy reading it...but that isn't necessary.
Why I Write...
this wasn't always
my passion. i used to
arch round balls towards
raised hoops on
dirty concrete pavement
till I grew and had
to steady a weary,
alcoholic father who
called me nice "boy"
through yellow teeth
while moms muttered
"not again" in the
background and blue-eyed
blond haired Matt came in
a moment of their
reconciliation and i wanted
to show that i
wasn't crazy and
could do things.
