My First Fight

Confessions of a short, recovering book addict.

Hi. My name is Timothy Tweed and I’m a recovering book addict. I am also a short guy.

When I was in the sixth grade, I was obsessed, you could say, like most pubescent boys, with two things: Sex and violence. Upon reflection, I am astounded at how many times we see these two words linked together now days. Nevertheless, it is not my purpose here to rhapsodize on the sad condition of morality and culture in the U.S., which might have been implied by the mere mention of those two oh-so-enticing subjects. I cannot, of course, speak from any moral high ground, having been raised on The Dukes of Hazzard and Charlie’s Angels. Alas, so many of my generation were spoon-fed this type of violent soft-core crap, that it really is no wonder that we are in such a mess these days. But I digress…
