About the fodder...

For those people that mistake humor for happiness, this ongoing collection of crap may possibly be something of a shock in places. Those people that truly know me see past the outer veneer of humor and know that I am not always a very happy person. Humor is simply a defense mechanism that gets me through the day without hurting myself or hurting those around me. Some of the material in this thing that you are currently reading will likely seem rather dark and might not be what most would consider a “happy read.” However, these pages will be about as real and honest as it gets in the moment. When I write, I do my best to vent the spleen and exorcise demons. As I put this thing together, I decided to do it without pulling any punches or offering any explanations or apologies. While I prefer writing things that will potentially make people laugh, it’s not always where my head is located at the particular moment. Both are very real facets to my lump of coal as I strive to become a diamond. When all is said and done, I’m perfectly okay with remaining coal.
