Telling Stories

It appears everyone wants to tell their story, eh?  Well, I'm no different, so do I.  However, my story (or stories as the case may be) are not sugar coated nor made for anyone underage, which would include my daughter.  The way I see it, I want her to learn about "real life", but some of it will not, nor should not, come from dad.  So I think to myself, - hmm, Jeromy, can you write something on the internet, give your daughter a faster computer than you have, and think it'll keep from her eyes -?  Well, yes, actually I do.  But I truly believe that stories are written by normal "every day" folk but unfortunately most are sugar-coated to make sure their families and friends approve.  We wouldn't want to write something with our fingers that our eyes or mouth wouldn't be able to communicate the same way would we?  That, after all, would be awkward. So those writers, or thinkers, do get their voice out there (if "out there" is the term), but it truly isn't THEIR voice, it's what they kinda feel of inside mixed with what their loved ones "approve of".  Huh, isn't that what church meetings are for?  I don't know of a church that approves of being 100% vocal of EVERYTHING you feel or think.
That all being said, unfortunately, my chosen career does handicap me from saying anything and everything I think.  This is ironic, because I've sworn to defend that right for all my fellow citizens.  But, I digress; the one(s) you work for aren't necessarily the one(s) that give you the same right back.  Which is okay, because I do love the furnace clicking on right now when it's 6 degrees outside and knowing I paid for that God given right...right?   Anyway, so this starts something I would like to keep going.  I'm a single, just turned 38 year old man, who lives with his only child, an 11 year old daughter in Riverton, Utah.  I also have a 1 year old Beagle and a 9 month old sneaky cat I saved from the certain jaws of death from the Humane Society but she is the only one that doesn't know it.  And life is good.  But life, use to be not so much.  I want to tell that story.
