About Me — Rocky Shores
Come crash on my boulders
Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside — remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.
My buddy Chuck’s got a way with words, doesn’t he? A real poet. I’m a simpler man than him, so my stories may not trip off your tongue the same, but I bet they’ll be just as colorful.
I’m more excited than a schoolgirl on her first date. This’ll be my first story published in Medium and I hope it’ll make me a million smackers. It’s gotta, with all those stories floating around about bonus and money and cash and millions of followers.
Readers, I’m here, and you’re gonna find all about me, Rocky Shores. Every good goddamn thing, and every bad damn thing. Things about me you’re dying to know. Things about me you may not want to know. You can trust me, though.
Best to hand on tight, ’cause it’s gonna be a helluva ride.
As the title says, bubba, my names’s Rocky Shores. You want to know about me? All about me? I know you do. Everybody always does. I’m a popular fella, especially with the ladies, if a know what I mean. The boys kinda like me, too, but that’s a whole different story. And I will most definitely kiss and tell. You can expect to be readin’ about a lot of kissin’ and tellin’ in my stories.
I’m of some indeterminate age where I’m old enough to know better and young enough to not care. I may drink some beers and some whiskeys on a Friday night, but I still have to figure out what I’m going to do on Monday morning. That’s why I’m taking all of my stories — all my wild tales — and becoming a writer. You just sit at your typewriter, with a bottle of Jack and a carton of Camels and type away, right? Now how hard can that be? Like I said earlier, I’ll be rich in no time.
Now, I will not spoil the surprise by putting too much into this here About Me story. I’ve got too much to tell, and it needs to have its space to breathe. My stories need time to decant — yeah, I like that word. All highfalutin and such. Real classy.
Hope that you follow me, and have as much fun reading my adventures as I did living them.
Some whiskey drinkin’ music for you to relax to.
If you haven’t guessed it by now, I’m an unrepentant liar, and this just may be a pseudonym. Perhaps for a famous former politician, or a sports hero, or for a nobody you’ve ever met or heard of before.
Rocky Shores is a lean, mean, sex machine, with a taste for the fast life. As he often quoted, “You only live once, so grab the bull by the horns and ride, baby, ride”. He is a teller of truths, even if it’s mostly lies.
I based my About Me on this prompt.
