Changing Lanes: A Compilation of Short Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781502344908)

Growing up was never easy for me. I mean one day I was happily peeing in my own drawers, the next my voice was changing. All the time being raised by a knife-wielding maniac with a pack of wild dogs. Perhaps that's why I'm still so immature. Rather than growing my outlook on life and accepting things as they are, I simply became more verbal about my own infantile view of the world and how things "should be." Maybe that's why I still hand write nasty notes to the IRS on the rare occasion that I actually fill out income tax forms. Of course, in my own defense, I can honestly say that "big brother" has his "big head" stuck up his "big ass" fairly often. Like in the case of a parent wanting to avoid having to appear in person at the US Embassy to renew a child's passport: you have to go to the embassy to notarize the form saying that you can't make it to the embassy. (NOTE: Yes, I'm a US citizen, and, yes, I reside overseas). Joseph Heller would be proud. I'm not un-American (despite the best efforts of the government), but some time you just gotta say "WTF?"
