Life of Ralph

This will give you a glimpse into my life, the rise and fall, the trial and tribulations and the ongoing challenges that I face on a daily basis. I write, I drink, I read, I watch movies, I travel (when i can afford it) and chicks just don't get me.

At Home

Ernest Hemingway, F Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, T.S> Elliot, and more all of which were members of the Lost Generation, a group of artists who were disenchanted with the way things were at home that they left to find a new better place.

I have lived in Southern Ca for majority of my life, except for my time in the military. Growing up I never quite felt "at home", and to this day I don't find myself "at home". I think the only time I felt at home was the time i spent in Egypt, and Iraq.

Am I just sick of America, and it's sad political streak? I could find such peace in a small vineyard in Provence, or maybe wandering the deserts of Egypt. I find it so sad that I can't feel at peace with myself here, that I have to go out to find peace.

Perhaps I will find it someday.....
