* Note that these pages are currently under construction and will NOT be FULLY available for a few days.
C1: There are a few not-so-proper ideas on some of these pages. Nothing horrible, but be warned.
C2: ALL of the original materials on these pages are copyrighted. LEGALLY copyrighted. Yes, I paid the damn $45 fee and filled out the paperwork and sent it all to the government copyright office. I will give permission for LIMITED personal and scholarly use ONLY if the source (ME) is properly cited. Please EMAIL ME for proper citiation information.
D1: I am writing a BOOK about my family, friends, childhood and early adulthood in North Central Texas. If I contact you for information, PLEASE don't think I'm hitting on you. THIS GOES FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN. And no, I'm not gay (although I respect the rights of those who are). If I ask for your story it's because you impacted my life in some way, not because I want to boinky boinky with you.
D2: Please understand that if I ask you for contributions I will not, as long as you live, use your real surname or any other identifying information in the book without your permission. In fact, in most essays and poems, the people are unrecognizable unless you happen to know me VERY VERY well or unless I want you to know. I assert that no one knows me that well, even those who think they do.
D3: Once you're dead or if the information impacts what I'm writing about myself, AND I DIDN'T GET IT FROM YOU BUT FROM MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES, all bets are off. The book will have pictures. In fact, this website has pictures. You may be in some of them. They may be next to essays or poems about you. C'est la vie, como es la vida, das ist Leben. Get over it (and I mean that in the nicest way possible :). |
