As to your remarks about nothing on Kwame or Cockrel, I was asked to write on what I do. And since I spend most of my time wandering around abandonments that's what I write about. I am a sarcastic individual with an extremely strong streak of irony working through my veins. I am not for the feint of heart. I am not for the meek. I enjoy using words that make you uncomfortable. With that being said, you are taking what was a tongue-in-cheek bio I wrote years ago so out of context it makes me wonder of you actual read it. Have you ever encountered satire before? I get the feeling you haven't. That entire BIO is satire. It's a joke. A joke you obviously missed. The "retard" line is actually from the Detroit Free Press article written about me 8 weeks after I was born. It was called "A bundle of Joy" and details the new baby (me) being brought in to a "Home for Retarded Adults." The rest of your rant is so off I won't even acknowledge it. ~Sarcasm, gainfully employed for the last five years as a Montessori Preschool teacher. Shipwreck, you sound upset.
