About Me

I live a very interesting life and I want to make sure that on the day that I die, no one can say that I didn't do it my way. I've learned a lot from life and continue to do so. In return I write about what I know. I bought the ticket a long time ago, now I'm just enjoying the ride. ****** You can find some stories, poems and other things of that nature that I have written, right below. I post them so that they can be read. I hope you enjoy. And please, if you want to leave a comment and want to be blatantly honest. Go for it. I love honesty. ****** Subscribe to My Blog ****** ****** Short Stories ****** ****** Poems ****** ****** Random Prose and Essays ****** ******

I'd like to meet:

Anyone with a sense of Humor and anyone who thinks that music, art, science and literature are amongst the more important things in life ... ****** ****** The truth is that I have been waiting my entire life to meet you.

Because without you, I am nothing. ****** ****** ****** “Back on the Bench, the observer sits down once again; watching the passing by pedestrians.
