SOMETHING DIFFERENT

My life has been a little chaotic lately.  Being in graduate school has taken over my life.  And the recent issues regarding my mother’s health has created more family drama, well more of the same OLD family drama.  So much of what has been happening, or not happening, with my siblings just makes me remember why I left home at 18 and never went back.

I have blogged in the past, but it was usually in a more reporting fashion.  I have decided to try something different here.  I have decided to use this online journal as a way to make sense of my life, the changes that have been occurring, and the people in it.  If anybody stumbles upon it and reads it, great!  If not, no big deal.  I just need to find a space where I can be honest, and a bit anonymous.  I am afraid that if I express my thoughts and feelings to some of the people in my life they might not like it very much.

OH…..about the name, to some I would seem like the all-american boy.  I appear as wholesome as apple pie.  But underneath this boyish exterior lies a person of depth and feeling, often angry, but full of love and compassion.  These are the traits I believe make me all-american.  Aren’t we all a bit bruised beneath the surface, afraid to let people in, and hungry for communion?

Welcome to my blog!  I hope you enjoy your visit!
