Yeats1 I like this

Yeats1 is a 43 year old single guy from Hermosa Beach, Ca, California, USA.
"A room without books is like a body without a soul"--Cicero Biography: I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After graduating high school, I drove a 1972 Super Beetle across the country and ended up settling in Hermosa Beach, California. I was a history major at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am a published poet and the author of two books, Geneva, a Novel and Search Your Self: 365 Meditations for the Mind, Body and Soul, which was published by William Morrow. I also have written extensively for the Internet. As a hobby, I teach sheep herding and compete in herding competitions. Me and my dog Apollo were featured on CNN. I still reside in Hermosa Beach. I live with my nine-year-old son Dylan and our new dog, a red Border Collie named Flash.

A pain stabbed my heart as it did every time I saw a girl I loved who was going the opposite direction in this too-big world.

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.

My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.

Write in recollection and amazement for yourself.

I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.


--Jack Kerouac
