It was March 8, 1982, the greatest day in history...the day I was born. It was a blizzardy, blustery night, with blinding snowfall, crazy winds, and chaotic natural danger. This was what I was born into; who knew it would be a metaphor for my mind the rest of my life? Allow me to preface [...]
The first time someone called me crazy, I was 12-years-old. I'm a classic overachiever who started young. I spent the early part of the 1980s as the smallest and youngest boy in my class. The only ways I knew to deal with bullying were a sharp wit and the occasional freak out. But as any [...]
