| Introduction | I have an optimistic view of the human race in general and whenever I find myself feeling too cynical, angry or pessimistic - I look to satire to channel my negativity towards a place of humor by relying on my wild imagination to talk myself out of a state of madness and into a state of laughter. Sponsor Gonzo is my medium to accomplish this. I feel both blessed and cursed by what I believe to be, a high level of socio and self-awareness that at times, can steer my mind into a pseudo state of schizophrenia, where an internal debate between what is right and what is wrong takes place. When dealing with these introspective conflicts, I do my best to acknowledge and control the defense, my subconscious ego naturally puts up, so as to give myself the best chance of maintaining a rational sense of thought and give at least some credibility to my own rhetoric - both internally and externally in this blog. Ultimately, I look to friends, family and the creative collective to keep my contrarian way of thinking sharp enough so that I may continue to grow and better understand societal phenomena and why we do what we do. Thank you for Sponsoring Gonzo. |

The first time you had your shoes taken off - how surprised were you to see that you still had toes?
I can't recall, but it is likely I was wearing socks at the time. Either way, even at a young age, I was likely not very surprised, since I had seen my toes prior to the shoes in question, being put on them.
