A Compilation of Run-on Sentences, Disembodied thoughts, Or How I got from there to here: The Life and Times of Paul F. Jones

I suppose that you are reading this because you want to. Not as an assignment for some class of one kind or another. Given that there is no force involved, I would like to state why this is written the way it is, or written at all. First of all I have not had the most interesting life. Second, time has dimmed my memory of the facts of some of the stories that I have included. Third, I was not able to write this in one sitting, in, fact it has taken over a year. So sometimes after I had conveyed a story, I had found more information that changed dates and situations. In one story I stated that the height of a building as being 6 stories tall, only to learn later that it was really only three stories. I also might have given the age of a character as being 300 years old, which is clearly not the case. (They were only 200) What I have written is written through the filter of time through the eyes of a very young me, and sometimes from a much older me. Some of what I put down is purely fiction, simply to make a point. A little of my writing is there just because it was fun to think about a situation as being humorous. I hope that in portraying others, I have not been offensive, or unkind. If you think you are described herein you re not, unless it s good. Well enough of that let s get going. Remember, there will be a quiz on the material covered, so feel free to take notes. And since I can t write the ending of my life s story, either in quality or duration of my life I suggest that as readers you get up a pool, chip in 5 bucks and put your guesses down as to when I die and have a giant party when I m gone. Remember I love Funeral potatoes. Paul F. Jones, June 2013
