I'm joining the literate dark side.

As I was perusing the biography section of my local library, I was lucky enough to find not only Pryor Convictions, but also Tarnished Angels. I've only read a bit of Tarnished Angel and I'm already saying...DAMN! Jen's been through a lot of shit. But come on, Waylon AND Willie? This will no doubt be an exciting read.

Jennifer,

How long ago did you write all that? I'm sure there's been enough excitement since then for a whole new book...maybe with less drugs and violence, but awesome nonetheless.

I'm still surprised that my library would have both of those books. Then again, I'm coming from memphis, which has no money--like so broke the libraries are ceding from being government just because they are so poor. I like when counties have money...they can buy good reads.

astonamous,

Yeah, I keep going back and forth between Jen's and Rich's books. Is it wrong that I can relate to some of the family situations between both of the books? And then on the other hand...I could have had it much worse....

Now, I'm expecting my mom to stowaway because George Harrison (I know he's dead.) is waiting for her...in a slightly scary, but very likely/possible way...oh...and she'd bring the cat with her.

God...I wish I was kidding.

astonamous,
My situation is more like I had grandparents who accomplished alot of good things but who had children (AKA my parents and an uncle) who couldn't live up to that legacy.So when my turn came it kind of thru me for a loop.You just got to live your own life, ya know?

I feel you Jane......

Jennifer,

Because our parents are such important people in our lives at an early age, the decisions they make have a profound affect on who we turn out to be.

Some of us were lucky to have at least one parent that took the reponsibility serious. But, too many of us had two parents that were selfish. Some of us were ignored, some abused, or put into dangerous situations by our parents. Our fathers walked out leaving us with unstable mothers. If your parents stayed together, most of the time it was volatile.

I am trying like hell to hold things together for myself just long enough until my kids are up and out. After that, I don't know.
