The Head Hog

Hi diddely ho neighborino, I’m Thor, the crass meathead helming this blog. I’m also a full time RV person, a former stand up comedian, and a torrential burnout with a patient partner. I got into writing as a last ditch effort before deciding I had no redeeming qualities and had to go back to school to do something more boring. I can’t say that I’m good at it but I do like doing it, and like many things I like, I blisteringly overindulge until it frightens my loved ones and requires me to remap my life –Luckily you and I are at the BIO section, the very beginning of that arc, and it should be approximately a decade before the rocky bottom–

A long time ago, and then every time he could shoe horn it in after, my dad said “be who you pretend to be”. While not bad advice, I’ve since pretended to be many things; a cook, an intellectual, an artist, an expert, a film buff, a scientist, literate, inciteful –you understand the direction of the bit– Very few of us manage being one thing , and I don’t have the luxury of health insurance… so I won’t live long enough to be most of them. But through writing I’ve found I can manage to place myself in the shoes of all my filthy potentials. –All my could-have-beens– While still pretending also being something.

SO we have Gaba.Ghoul.Blog, a repository of every eventuality, and a picture of a life. With my sexy partner and our beautiful-smelly dogs in tow I will be laying bare the gnarly facts about America its cesspits, its magic, and its corpulence.
