Twenty-five years of being lost, going down the wrong road, laughing it off, faking a smile, and then writing about it.

I was born and raised in Connecticut and recently graduated from Cal. State, Fullerton . . . what happened in between all of that, will bleed through my entries.

What will happen after?  Well . . .

. . . I’ll let you know.

I’m not sure where I’m going, but if you’d like to tag along, I know some good jokes . . . kinda.

Do blondes really have more fun?

Unwritten

You helped me figure out what I was thinking…what I had trouble putting into words.
I told you all of my thoughts and dreams, and about all of my nightmares and scars.
I often wondered where you had been,
and who left you
and why.

Pretty Pathetic
