A Hatred 15 Years in the Making

butterflies

People are always shocked when I tell them I hate butterflies. I hate the erratic manner in which they fly. Their zig zag flight patterns make it impossible to predict where they're going to go and as a result they're difficult to avoid. Anyway, in my first grade scrapbook, I found evidence that this disdain for butterflies is not a recent development. I also discovered that I was quite the poet back then.

Entries from before "blogs" existed

While home for Thanksgiving my mom had me clean out my closet and take down a lot of the posters that are in what was once my room. In addition to lots of baseball cards and magazine after magazine with Derek Jeter on the cover, I discovered my scrap book from first grade. This led to my seeking out and finding some old journals that my parents had me keep back in 1992.

From reading over some of them this, appears to have been a pretty pivotal year in my life. I watched a hell of a lot of wrestling, my still yet unfulfilled desire to see the film Toy Soldiers was born, I saw Bloodsport on TV for the first time, and I purchased a VHS copy of No Retreat, No Surrender.

There's also some weird stuff that I wrote about that I'd rather not mention. However, I'm going to start typing up all the entries in this blog and publishing them (backdating them to the dates that I wrote them). Those won't be edited so you'll just have to do it on your own. Keep checking back and browsing through the archives to read some of the bizarre stuff I wrote.

Enjoy.
