Let's do this thing!

Well, here it is.  My wife began her blog, at a site with a similar name, and I felt it was time for me to get on board.  Miba, as she prefers to be called, and I, are very different people.  She loves Star Wars, obsessively.  Me?  I have a pantheon, of which three are called my "holy trinity" which is somewhat subject to change.  Right now we're rocking along with Robotech, Tron, and.. so help me something modern has entered the list.. I'm really liking Dance in the Vampire Bund.  There's one thing that goes above all else... and you can probably guess from the image I chose.  Christmas.  I love Christmas.

Christmas is not just an entertainment preference, it is above all else.  I'll speak of other interests, but I would give them all up just to have something red and green on me at all times.  I'm not perfect... I come from a violent past which causes me to have weird hangups here and there, but I do my best to, as the song from Garfield's Christmas says, keep Christmas Eve in my heart at all times.  I don't often succeed, but here we are.

I won't blather about what we are doing here as an intro... Miba will handle that nicely.  What I want to talk about will be politics, science, and so help me what it feels like to be a man with his identity so compromised that, after 7 years of trying to convince government agencies that he is not the Mexican in prison, that he decided it was time to get away from it all.  To throw the bird at the life he never understood and can't fit into anyway, and do what he needs to in order to be a man.  Welcome, my friends.. look around, not much here yet, but perhaps you'd enjoy my radio station?

I've spent my time as a high school dropout, a minimum wage slave, a professional wrestler, a teacher's assistant, I've served my country as a sailor and so help me I've used parts of my body in ways I'm not proud of to survive.  I've strung out on illegal substances, I've bloodied my knuckles for food, and I've been all around the country, but that's over now.  I've fought all my adult life, and it's never amounted to anything more than a body full of scars, contrary memories, and aches and pains when it rains.  One pretty girl came to fetch me as her man, and show me what kind of future I can have.  I've been everywhere, done everything... but I've never had direction before.  She showed me the way.

 I am Sohei Fox.... and this is my journey down... no.. my journey UP... a path to freedom.
