Ides of March
Labels: family
Life is like a box of chocolates & Hansel and Gretal candy wrappers. I suffer from a warped sense of humor & Mastocytosis, a rare skin disease. In 2001, I left life support and found the meaning of my life. A disease forcing me to temporarily don the protective apparel of a beekeeper's suit, such adversity cut an unusual swath in my life. Facing an odyssey of self-discovery through mistaken identity, I wrote the autobiographical book Stop and Smell the Silk Roses. Life takes us many places. I landed on an TV's Ripley's Believe It or Not, became a comic strip, an exhibit in the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum in Atlantic City, NJ. My publications include The Mastocytosis Chronicles, 1983 American Collegiate Poets Anthology, 1984 World of Poetry. I have a cameo in the book Planet Eccentric. I have filmed as an actor in The Happening, Invincible, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Eclipse, The Greek American, Bazookas, TV's Its Always Sunny in Philly, The DMV Pilot, New York, The Bounty, The Warrior, The Nail, Cold Case, Sketches from Moscow and done commercial work for Septa and Carnival Cruises. Freudian Slips spotlights irony in short story format.
