Irish McKilligan
I began writing as a young teenager to relieve myself of the many woes that had gone on in my life since birth, some of them unbeknownst to me at the time. My need to purge myself in written words turned into poetry and a love of writing in general.
While writing is very cathartic, I have the gift of keen insight into others lives which I'm sure is due to volume of "life" I have lived and witnessed. It is my hope that my voice finds its audience while sharing my journey.

Seems like that could smell really rotten and foul... or it could be a sign that you're breathing or maybe you need to breathe...

Did you ever think Murphy was not only related to you but following you around? Perhaps the ancient Greek gods have cursed you.... and that a simple vacation is not going to do the trick. Have you addressed your complaint and the receiver is only interested assigning blame? Where are the results oriented people? Where are the results? I'm afraid to look or ask this week.

After years of successfully contracting, the market dropped out and so did my employability. I returned to college to get my degree so I would never have to hear "no degree, no job" again.
