I suppose you could say this book is my coming-out party. It is everything I have aspired to become as a poet and a writer. I found myself with this collection striving to push myself into creating my own form of poetry, a free flow vastness of creative emotion through written word, past experiences and dreams. Please tread softly through this book, as it is made of my heart notes.

September 04, 2008: 'My hope is with this book people can open their eyes a bit to the idea that maybe we aren't all perfect and we all have problems but there's bigger issues than what allot of poets are known for being nice about. Yes, I'm glad I wrote this speaking out, yes I am proud I support my fellow Gypsies, Derelicts Servicemen and other Artists. I think I did well with just about covering the spectrum of what a poet can randomly write on a napkin in a bar, something inspired by a political- religious debate over a pool table in some random pub in some random town. I pretty much covered the next generation gypsies unspoken Jack Kerouac's of today. Somehow we live on. The true heartland Americana- patriotic non-sense in motion, tributes to my Tattoo Artists, my Military, My Earth. Oh yes, and then there were those romantic hateful moments in life. The Survivors. And then to top it all off some of the worst song lyrics I've ever written along with some of what I someday might call song lyrics and some stuff that has no business being shoved into a book of poetry! Basically I guess, it might even be a laugh.'
