Hello. I am the ikss. This is my journal.

This journal is entitled �Mind Vomit� because it is just that � whatever comes to my mind spills out of it, via this page. In that sense, it is a true journal or diary. I do not edit my thoughts or the words I use, except to use Spell Check (and I even forget to do that half the time). I am also keeping this journal as a record of current political and social events; or at least I do as much as possible and as I can stomach. To that end, you will see a lot of news articles on this page and will read a healthy dose of my political opinions.

Not only is this journal a healthy way to get off my chest whatever may be on it on any given day, it is also my hope that someone in my family will someday, after I am long gone, find this journal to be an interesting read. I have chosen to make this journal a public one for two reasons: 1) Knowing others are expecting a journal entry from me encourages me to write more regularly; 2) It�s just plain fun to hear what people have to say in response to what I write. Call me egotistical.

Although this is a journal, I also write in many other forms. You will find none of that writing here, however. You may find some of my poetry and song lyrics here; some essays and other works here. Other works such as screenplays and a novel I have been working on are not for free public consumption as of yet. You�ll have to buy those at Barnes and Nobel some day, like everybody else.

Since this page is filled with my thoughts and opinions, I may offend some people. While this is never my intention, such is life and I make no apologies for it. I do not keep a journal to please others or to be politically correct. That said, I hope those of you who come across this page will enjoy what you read. You are most encouraged to leave me notes in my guestbook or via e-mail.

Should you choose to communicate with me in either manner, however, keep in mind that while to date I�ve never had to delete a guestbook message, I will not tolerate notes that are insulting or abusive or that pointlessly argue with me. You may think it selfish or egotistical that I would keep positive feedback posted in my guestbook but delete other notes that I do not like, but again � this is my space. I use it the way I see fit, not to get in to debates with people who do not know me. ikss-land is not a Democracy.

Thank you for your interest in the ikss.

Peace, love and smooches, ya�ll!

-Karen
