About

Thank you for coming.

There is more to this site then just the parenthetic, although some may disagree. Alternative meaning to my choice of title is available here.

This site contains some of the following:

• Examples of stuff I write, including a lot of krapp using a manual typewriter.
• A lot of complaining and ranting (as a failed author of plays and novels - but I’m still working on it).
• Trying to fail better is something like a motto. I think.
• I am an unwilling ex-pat American … so much for also being a failure.
• The right side-bar contains various access routes to my work. There are also a few page-links under the banner (above) that might help you get around. Good luck.

Pic Credit: Thanks to a real enthusiast for letting me use the pic of the red typewriter in the banner. The machine is an Underwood Noiseless in high-gloss paint. What a beaut, eh? The b/w pic is of moi while driving along a German road and getting caught by a speed-trap. Isn’t that just fancy?

My Carriage Return - or - Mission Statement: It is not my intention to offend anyone so I apologize now if I do. Sometimes my typewriter gets ahead of things. Carriage return. I don’t think well when it comes to thinking about what I write - which you may or may not read in the various examples that are available here. Carriage return. Riddle me this. Being a failed writer is difficult. Anyone who says that failing is easy has never actually failed. Carriage return. Carriage return. Now get this. I believe that for the world to improve people need to fail more. But I would never force that idea on anyone. If only religion and political ideology would do the same. Carriage return. That which keeps me going? When I sit back in my middle age and look at life, this world, all things considered, it is obvious that the choices I have made, which have lead to my failure, were the right choices. These choices can be read about in the various postings here. I do not recommend these choices to anyone - especially young people. Carriage return. The only regret I have is that I didn’t keep, in the form of ownership, enough friendship and love to call my own. Those who die happy and full of riches should be thankful that there are so many like me! Wait… Oh f+#& it. Carriage return.
