I was living with my fiancee that would end once she started frolicking and doing the lambada with the natiive men down in Costa Rica. She was the object of my love’s desire until I finally broke down with schizophrenia…I think it was the belief that I had lost true love that haunted me about her. we are still friends again on facebook now…makes me proud to still know her. my book totally explains my erotomania about her.

I would have just become 5, where I formed some of my earliest memories. I remember running around the yard on my 4th birthday and I remember the swarm of cicadas when I was about that age. would have happened in the summer. I was originally a baseball fan and my beloved Cincinnati reds would be on the verge of a world series win in 90. I remember I was not allowed to stay up and watch the game.

I was in awe of and jealous of my new little brother. Plotting with my other brother in ways to conquer the world.

Mostly we just caused a lot of mayhem. Two three year olds can do a lot of damage in a very short amount of time.

My favorite story is how when he was a few months old we somehow got him out of his crib (the only way anyone can figure we did this was by climbing in and dumping him out) and then with one grabbing his hands and the other grabbing his feet we carried him across the house and halfway down the unfinished concrete stairs leading to the basement where my mother was doing laundry.

There was no stopping us. We were the perfect team of brains (me) and braun (him). At least until puberty. Then we hated each other and he became super violent and abusive.

I had just gotten out of a private mental hospital, and I was in their halfway house program. I bought a gun to kill myself with, but I chickened out and told them about the gun. They expelled me from all the hospital programs, which was a relief. I didn’t get better at that hospital. From there I went to a public drug and alcohol center. I hung around there unnoticed for about four months. Then someone recognized that I had been in what was supposed to be a thirty day program for four months, so they took me to the “Transition House”, an outpatient program for the mentally ill. I lived in that place behaving outrageously, until I finally got put in a public mental health facility for about four months. That rounded out 1989 for me.
