IT'S SO DAMN HARD BEING ME!

Excerpts from my on-line journal

People who meet me briefly might never suspect that
beneath my Yankee reserve festers a raging cauldron of violent emotions.

Angst.

Schadenfreude.

Weltanschauung.

Gemutlichkeit.

You name it, Heinrich, and I got it but bad.

And since many of you seem not to give a rat's patoot
for my reviews of the latest sci-fi fodder
or my cogent analyses of the Stoppardian ouevre,
I've decided to deliver what never fails to turn on Web-ites.

That's right, personal dirt,
produced in mind-numbing quantities
and chock-full of embarrassing tidbits about
my family, my love life and my hygiene habits.

So dig right in! Take solace in the knowledge
that there's at least one person out there
who's more of a pathetic whiner than you are.
