Author Information

I'm just a person. There's nothing special or extraordinary about me. All I know and share in this book is the result of being very fortunate with meeting people, listening when they need someone to talk to, taking the time to ask questions, and generally paying attention to what's going on around me. I have had both great relationships and terrible, abusive people I clung to for far too long. What the worst times in my life have shown me is that everything gives you an opportunity to learn something. I began writing this book when I was 22, as a letter to my brother, as a present for his 18th birthday. Seven years later, with the help of many people, I finally finished it. At least, the first edition. Life will always be changing and information must be kept up to date. I have never been married (came close, but escaped before it was too late). I have no children. My credit is shitty. I just have good relationships with a lot of people who have been kind enough to open their lives, hearts, and secrets to me for the sake of this ever-growing catalogue of human experience. In my free time, I still play hockey. I'm addicted to pizza and cream soda. I still don't have a normal career. I have met probably 80 or 90 people from the internet now... I've lost the actual count (there used to be a stigma about doing that, back in the day). I make ends meet by fixing computers and refereeing bad roller hockey. It's been a great struggle emotionally for most of my life, either with fitting in or finding love. To know just enough to be satisfied momentarily, and have more than a few circles of genuine friends makes me feel like I'm the luckiest person I know. The biggest thing for me was learning how to be grateful and happy with what I have, no matter how much or how little or how weird it is. It's been smooth sailing ever since.
