Paul's Stream Of Consciousness

Yes.

You read that right.

Paul's
stream
of
consciousness.

It's about as frightening as it sounds.
Considering all the perceptions about me, I thought it might be time to add to my repertoire and get back into writing stuff other than baseball.
No, this is not going to be another baseball blog. In fact, it's going to be something completely out of the realm in which people are accustomed to seeing with me.

This will be whatever pops into my cabeza.
You read that right as well.
Whatever
pops
into
MY
cabeza.

And you truly do not know----possibly don't want to know some of the things that come out of my head. It might be just a rant about whatever; it might be fiction; it could be poetry (some of my poetry isn't just bad, it's weird and remarkably disturbing----even to me; in some cases it's been okay; it got the point across anyway and I meant it at the time.); it's entirely possible that I'll write a vignette from my epic history.

Reading short stories and poetry by the likes of Charles Bukowski freed up my creative side to say, "it doesn't have to be a certain way; a way it's perceived----sappy and lame and pretentious; I can do whatever I want".

This was an interesting self-revelation because I pretty much do and say whatever I want anyway.

There won't be a filter or the organization inherent in my baseball writing. This is me. All me. Total me. And not me. Say what you want, but at least you know what you're getting; and in today's world, I'd say that's a rarity.

I won't be posting with the frequency of my baseball stuff, which will always be a priority, but with my mental state(s), there's always a chance of some deranged megalomaniacal bit of well-crafted brilliance emerging out at any moment.

Hell, I might even end up writing something about YOU!!!

Caution is advised.

Paul's Stream Of Consciousness has a ring to it for the first post.

Oh, and regarding the title? It refers to the that battering ram I wear on my left hand. It's memongous and it's my father's Air Force ring; hence, It's My Father's Ring.

Yeah.

That's right.
