AN UNSUNG HERO:
- Kamaroh
- Naturalist by devotion, humorist by genetics, hero by default; Kamaroh is a Republican, a Presbyterian, a Polio surviver, a former US Marine, & Great Plains Badger. Earned an MA in English from SFSU. Student & friend of novelist Kay Boyle. His blog is a no profanity zone. There is little edgey emotionalism if he avoids thinking about his children. Kamaroh is a masculinist, places value on fraternity & believes living stag is a responsible and manly option. Particularly apreciative of the charm of Asian females, he discovered in 1999 he is able to love one small lady to the extreme that thinking about her can make his nose bleed. From boyhood forward, he values having male friends & male role models; though this blog is an extention of that belief; it is all welcome. Though containing male posturing, biased poetry, shakey facts, & faulted bachelor housekeeping, this blog's intent is to be good for your health & contains no spanky material. Pardon me if I am speaking too loudly because even with the high tech ... hearing aids the Veterans Administration provides to me, I do not have normal hearing.

COLIN POWELL: MY AMERICAN JOURNEY
I had been thinking for a long time about how I wish I knew more about Colin Powel as I have always had a positive mindset about the gentleman. Well, last Saturday I stopped by Thrift Village in order to donate a bag of Barney's sweaters that he had left for me to dispose of as he would have no need of them in Thailand. As I was on my way out of the store, I saw this book on the shelf and it was just $3.00 and I quickly bought it. I find it very interesting thus far: I did not know his family was from Jamaica. He was also, as was Kamaroh, a Geology major in College. And, he speaks of a remarkable circle of support from his relatives that I am envious of. I have a lot of the book to read yet and so will make very little additional comment for now. Except too say that I am proud of him for coming out as a car guy. If you
will notice in my profile, I have decided to follow his example and come out also.
