Writing my autobiography, need feedback.
« on: January 30, 2008, 09:38:46 PM »
For me, there have been many twists and turns in this crazy journey we call life, some good and some not so good. At times I have found myself among the upper echelons of high society, at others among the worst dregs of humanity. My journey's purpose is unknown, my final destination a mystery, but I do know this much - its been one helluva ride so far.

That's all I have so far, please let me know what you think.

Whenever possible, you should pose questions to yourself, a la Robert Evans. (a.k.a. Kid Notorious)

I've read worse.  No, really.  (Sad, ain't it?)

I especially like the part about your life.

I'll do the next paragraph:

I was born a poor rubber miner in the Belgian Congo. My father, like so many other chimney-sweeps, had descended on the Dark Continent during the Rubber Rush of '89, his head bouncing with dreams of the mythical Vulcan Kingdom. What was supposed to be a life of ease turned quickly to horror when he succumbed to the dreaded Latex Fever and was sent to a rubber room. Jervis Mcgillicutty Slackworth would remain there for the rest of his life. His polymer dreams had forever lost their elasticity.

I'm steeling myself for the tragic "FOT mixtape" chapter.

Just like some of the great ideas of Orson Welles this to has been lost to history.

Jason, I'm eager to read the section where you talk about the mean streets of North London.

It's a great start, but I'd advise making a few cuts - the middle part goes on a bit long.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.
