Introduction

Welcome to my newest blog, where I will tell you about my fantastic adventures – it will probably function much like an interactive autiobiography. Unlike many other blogs however, this blog will be composed principally of lies. It may function sort of like a book with a linear progression, and it may be more all over the place, I don’t know. To be totally honest, I’m not exactly sure where I’m gonna take this blog. Anyway, let’s get on with it. I think I’ll start out telling you about my brother.

Terrence was a boy with dreams of grandeur, destined to change the world. It’s almost a shame, then, that I absorbed him in the womb. That’s not to say I don’t appreciate my life, but I sometimes wonder if he might have been better off “winning out” so to speak. That having been said, my real brother has certainly made his fair share of mistakes, and he would be the first to admit it. We both agree that the first and foremost of these mistakes was his first degree murder for which he served life in prison. I say “served” because he recently got out, or rather, escaped. From what I understand, he somehow got out with one of his prison buddies, and got a few more kills under his belt in the process.

Of course we can all sit in judgment of him, but are we really that much better? Sure, we’re not murderers, but are we not all responsible for some heartache? None of our hands are clean, so to speak. Having just referenced murder, perhaps this analogy is inappropriate – nevertheless, I stand by it.
