More DescriptionI have always yearned to be a part of the social dynamic, despite my limitations, and eventually concluded that some level of high achievement - by any means - could blind people to my hideousness. Throughout my life, though suffering from temporary bouts of self-pity inherent to those born with my "looks", I eventually came to embrace the bizarre way my insecurities manifested into the strange, unique path my life has taken. My feelings of worthlessness, ironically, have provided the means for my life having purpose and value. I now embrace the quirky, if not downright weird, path my life took. Only in retrospect, and reflection, am I now aware of how my self-perceived repulsiveness transformed my journey from average and boring to at least different. My life has become the stuff of legends - legendarily lame that is - in the minds of most anyway. For those of you who see "lam-o" in my actions, I offer you redemption. In exchange for you reading about me, I gift you the personally redemptive power of joyful exuberance in knowing that you didn't live my life! In somewhat chronological order, after first describing the seminal events leading to this book, the memories forming the mangled mosaic of my deranged thoughts and deeds will be recounted. From the perspective of a mind operating amidst a thick cloud of profound insecurity and pathos, I offer you the re-telling of a life inspired by the power of "ugly".
