Welcome to the HappyDead page.
It's time for an update. It's January 1, 2006 as I type this. This portion of my geocities world was supposed to be devoted to writing and stuff of that nature. I sort of have lost a lot of the interest I had in maintaining the websites. I think I started this one around 10 years ago, maybe 8 or 9. I don't know. Happy Dead refers to a dog we used to have. After he died, for some reason I would obsessively say "happy dead," and put it into christmas carols and things of that nature. It's just a weird thing, I don't really get it. The dog has been dead for.. um.. almost 15 years? I don't know, it was before I was married, and I've been divorced for 5 years after being married for 6. So I guess 13 years or so?
Writing is still part of what I'm doing. I've been involved in the San Diego Writers, Ink group, who can be found at their website, which is sandiegowriters.org. I've even taught a workshop through them and hopefully will do another one in spring or so. At any rate, I have other places to write, so I haven't updated writing stuff on here. But it's still a look into my craziness, and that's a fine thing indeed. Have fun. It might not all make sense, but that's what the internet is all about.
You can read about Happy(dead) on the Story page, and
not only that, you can see pictures of the real Happy! Wow!
Other than that, this is just a page that contains some writings of mine. It
doesn't have everything I've ever written, of course, just a sampling of the shorter
stuff.
And now I've decided to look a little bit into my musical side. Why not, eh?
