Nothing more then ink on paper or bits on the internet. That is all these stories
are. The writings below along
with my Fathoms Below zine make up the majority of stuff I have written over
the last eight or so years. My Swimming in the Hate Pool book/zine will contain
some of the material below and a lot unreleased material from my college days (89-93).
I tend to write from my perspective on my life--personal stories if you will. This
is who I am, the way I live and the way I speak. I'm sharing this with the world
because I hope someone can come here, read a story and say "right
on man." Hopefully some of you can relate. Everyone has a story to tell; the tough
part is putting it into words others can understand and most importantly feel.
Several of the stories below were done for an E-zine called Fucked Up College
Kids. There has been more then 550+ issues released. Check out F.U.C.K.
if you enjoy the ones I've written.
