I have been subject to religious and spiritual influences all my life. I have seen the best and the worst of it. I am not ashamed of my beliefs, but I also try not to bludgeon anyone with them. That being said, I will let John Donne speak for me. No man is an Iland, intire of itselfe; every man is a peece of the Continent, a part of the maine; if a Clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the lesse, as well as if a Promontorie were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of thine owne were; any mans death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankinde; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

2023-05-17 21:08:21 +0000 UTCMovies, TV shows and cartoons, especially Looney Tunes; the Brooklyn Public Library's beautiful main building which felt like a majestic, magical place to visit and made a voracious reader; the comic books in my parents' candy store I could endlessly read without ever having to buy any; Jerry Lewis movies that helped me appreciate silliness; a family I felt never truly accepted in or safe (if I stepped out of line they regularly threatened to send me to military school) and a volatile, easily triggered father I was afraid of; bullies who likewise made me fearful...and my own imagination, nurtured by all the pop culture I consumed, which helped me survive those bullies and my family.

2023-05-17 18:37:34 +0000 UTCI had polio when I was 3 years old and it left my right arm unusable. You can imagine how that set my life. My mother always expected me to do everything my four brothers did and so I did. It gave me a lot of self confidence. We also moved a lot. Until was 18 I never lived in the same house for more than 18 months or in the same city for more than two years. The first time through the first grade I went to 9 different schools; the second time only 5 different schools. Attended four different high schools. Because of that I learned to make friends fast and if I had peer issues I didn't care because we would be moving in a month or so.
