And then there was the time she broke into my apartment when I was sleeping. That was 91 I think, early on when we were dating. I was still living in Taylors, SC, nearby my job in Greenville. I remember I had been feeling very jumpy back then, I don't know why. I had a good job, I had a nice duplex apartment, it was a nice neighborhood. But I was worried about someone sneaking in while I was asleep. I had the doors rigged to make noise to wake me up. Apparantly she was able to pry the lock on the back door and I woke up with her standing next to me in my bed. The door trap had worked, but all it did was scare her, I didn't hear it because I had drank a lot of beers and passed out drunk.
It was actually after all these experiences that I decided on a better strategy to women. First, I was going to be a lot more selective about who I dated. Before I dated my future ex-wife I had been going out with someone that was a little quirky too, but she was only quirky in some good ways, she didn't break into my house or anything like that. I knew if I had asked her to leave, she would have. So secondly I decided if I am going to hook up with someone that turns out to be quirky, I am going to find someone that I can tolerate such quirkiness. But the real problem here, is even talking about this stuff, because the weirdos will use it, I don't quite know how to explain. If I say that it is ok for one person to break into my house, but that another person cannot break into my house, then a person that I really do not want in my house will then break into my house just to see if I really love her or something like that. It is lunacy. I don't even like thinking about that.

I am wondering today if I was either genetically engineered prior to birth or genetically modified after birth to allow for greater tolerance of long term travel in space.
I was thinking today about something I read recently in the novel 2001: Space Odyssey. Clarke wrote something about the progress of man from femur-wielding ape-man to man's use of guided missiles.
I wonder where the divergence point is in history? When did I become Kerry Burgess and who am I really?

It was May 9th this year when I gained a new perception about the places I used to live. I started to question whether I had actually even lived in any of those places at all. I think it was Wexford that I initially began to question. I knew even before I looked up that detail about John Barry that it was going to be something important.
