How Lucky My Life Is That I

When I Was A Kid, I Lived In This Small Town Way Out In The Country. We Had Three Tv Channels And One Radio Station. I Couldn't Even Get My Hands On Good Comic Books. My Aunt, Who Is A Librarian, Gave Me Tolkien's "the Lord Of The Rings," Laura Ingalls Wilder's "little House On The Prairie," And Lewis's "the Chronicles Of Narnia." They Were Such Incredible Treasures To Have In My Somewhat Mundane Country Life.

Jobs That Require A Suit Upset Me. They Displease Me Much, As Our World Is Rife With Such Superficial Conformity.

I Made An Executive Decision In College When I Learned How Behind I Was In The World Of Books, Films, And Music Because Of My Rural Upbringing. I Really Reduced The Amount Of Time That Sports Took Up In My Life.i Still Have Some Faulkner To Get Through.

When It Comes To Marijuana, I Think It's Ridiculous To Live In A Country That Espouses Freedom, Liberty And Equality, Yet Won't Follow Through On A Philosophy That Says: "if It's Not Hurting Anybody Or Their Property, You Can Do Any Goddamn Thing You Want."
