Samual Ronthorpe's Blog
 I was born in November, 1964. I am a Scorpio. I am a disabled veteran, U.S Army, 1st Inf. Div., "Big Red One".
Being a Scorpio; I am passionate, opinionated, hard-headed, quick tempered and I have anger issues.
"Samual Ronthorpe" is my pen name. My 'real' name has never been published on the Internet and it never will. I have been writing for over 30 years and I do have a few writings in print, under my 'real' name, which I choose not to reveal.
I write as a form of therapy. I really don't care if anyone reads my work or not, in fact, I only recently began to self publish. My writing is a way for me to keep my mind busy. I have discovered that if I think too long on serious issues, bad things happen. It is not uncommon for me to spend months writing a play or novel and then just destroying it, without anyone ever reading it. I have done that more times than I can remember. Like I said, I write for therapy and am still really not comfortable with people reading my work, but I am dealing with it.
When it comes to God and religion, I am an agnostic; however, I completely respect those who believe in such things. I don't desire to change your opinion, in this area, as long as you don't try to change mine.
I have done a lot of traveling. I have traveled to Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Amsterdam, Spain, Portugal, S. Korea, Japan and a handful of other countries. I have taken 3 cruises. I took one to Alaska, one in the Virgin Islands/Bahamas and one to the Greek Islands. I plan to go to the U.K, sometime in 2013.
That's about it.

I took a leave from the 'Soup', I am trying to get back into it. Issues I'd rather not discuss.
I re-posted 2 poems that I felt didn't get enough exposure last year, one of them is in a new style I developed called O/E Etheree. It's called "Lesson in Love". I could write 2000 words on why I did it, but I won't do that.
I received quite a few comments on them and I can't respond back, which is traditional.
I just want to say I appreciate everyone's thoughts and I do read them all. I am hoping to get things straightened out soon and re-join you all.
Cheers and happy writing.
