# About me
Just a guy that probably read too much Shel Silverstein and listened to too much rap whilst growing up. I rhyme a lot, sue me.Sometime back I noticed my then teen daughter was on this site, so I like a good father (why did State Farm just come to mind), I registered to keep tabs on her. After exploring the site, I found a deep appreciation for the artists here, both pros and amateurs. I used to write a lot of poetry and short stories when younger, and I'll be damned if the talented people at dA didn't inspire me to start again. And here we are.
If you're so bored that you actually browse through my gallery, you'll see that I write about whatever comes to mind, from the mundane like picking up dog poop, to extremely personal topics like death and marriage. Hey, draw your own connections from those examples!
As for me, I'm an early 40's white guy according to appearances. According to a Facebook poll administered by my lovely Latina wife, I'm barely white at all. ? Anyway, I have two daughters, the aforementioned teen now a college student, and a 6th grader. Being a good father to these girls is my number one goal in life.
I am but one of many brothers, not sure how many to be honest. Pops got around a bit. I have three that I grew up with that I consider my best friends in the world. I have one that I befriended in high school only to find out later that we're related. We were once close but have since drifted apart. He has a full blooded brother that my dad and his mom gave up for adoption, and that I've never met. Whew! But it's my Mother and three brothers that shaped most of my childhood. I'll blame them for my sense of humor.
I, like I assume you to be dear reader, am human. As such, I hope that you feel I, like you and most everyone else, deserve a certain level of dignity and respect. I haven't had a problem thus far and don't anticipate having one, but I'd just like to spread the message that we're all in this together and that none of us are gonna get out alive. It's how we treat each other while we're here that counts. Also, if there's a generic message I could spread it'd be balance. Find balance in everything you do.

CatharticShut the door and breathe a sigh,
Not many understand
How truly vital is this time;
I take my pen in hand.
I lock myself inside my brain
And tuck away the key;
And finally I open up
Into a writing spree.
Sunlight rushes in upon
The cobwebs of my soul;
The stale air is swept away
My thoughts can now unroll.
Scattering mosaic words
In frenzies on the page;
My spirit soars in victory
Like swallows from a cage.
The bottled feelings that I hide
Find refuge and release;
This quiet pen-and-paper world
Enfolds my heart in peace.Β
