blah. So this is my first blog. so after  four years of annual breakdowns, job losses, and the steady attrition of an already spare social circle, I'm pulling up stakes to relocate and try again with my hard HARD earned wisdom and unshakable sense of self. I'm going to a new state to go live with a lover and come hell or high water I'm not giving in and I'm not giving up. This is, and will- will be, my new life , MY life and no one and nothing is going to take it from me. It's one of those over my dead body situations.

 So put that in your pipe and smoke it. Damn.
