Coming In March 2016..."Derogatory Explorations, My Last 59 Years"

Don't make derogatory statements, you could face criminal prosecution...OMG!  

Let's explore that term and its meaning. According to "Websters Dictionary" the word means expressing a low opinion of someone or something, showing a lack of respect for someone or something.  Notice the definition does not deal with the validity and/or truth of the statements or writings that one is making against another person or thing, just that the statements are expressing a low opinion, or lack of respect toward someone or something else.  Careful folks...did you know expressing negative remarks about someone else could see you dragged into a court of law, could see you finding yourself under a court order (Order of Protection) for a period of time.

You reach a point in life where you cut your loses, make deals that are neither fair or just, but necessary to reach a point of moving on, moving forward with your own life and what is left of your own dream shattered world.  So, I've reached such a crossroads, am doing my best to close out the last chapter in a book that needs placed on the shelf of bad memories.  To that end, and with more than a bit of bitterness, I have started taking steps to clean my own plate off of things detracting from me living a productive life, preparing to move forward into whatever comes next for me, which more than likely is going to include moving out from this basement apartment and out of the state of New York...if not this year, then early next year right after the winter snows have ended.  By next year, everything that is in limbo in my life will be settled, good, bad or ugly, and should be free to pursue my own pursuits and new dreams.

As a part of that process of moving forward, burying old demons I have decided to spend a great deal of 2015 writing a book, and autobiography of sorts with a goal of self publishing it in 2016. Everyone has always told me I should write a book...well, think that time has come.  I turn 59 this upcoming Saturday, so thinking releasing a book right after I turn 60 next February is a great one year goal to set for myself.  A tell all story of intrigue, mystery, pain, love and betrayal, a tale of trials, tribulations, and even a few successes on the road less traveled with no stone left un-turned.  I am sure parts of it will be derogatory, combative and even attacking, but it will be a story fairly and accurately told, and unlike dragnet, will not change the names to protect the innocent or in some cases guilty.   Truth is whatever truth is, and sometimes in life truth is UGLY, even sinister, and in stating that truth, one by definition is going to be derogatory.  

One thing is certain...2015 is going to be a different year, a year of changes and moving forward rather than sitting still.  Time to let my inner warlock have free reign as I once again begin the arduous task of starting over.
