This man's life story is a portrait of misfortune and bad luck from birth onwards. The birth itself was very tedious, leaving his mother on the brink of death as he pulled out by forceps. Shortly after his birth, he was given some spoiled liquid which altered so badly the flora in his digestive tract, that he continues to have digestive troubles even now.

Up to the age of six, he went through all the diseases and accidents possible, which caused him to spend a lot of time in the hospital. Around four years of age, he had a horrible accident when he pulled a heavy table onto himself that crushed his skull along with his nose which had to be reconstructed. He was declared clinically dead and had to be revived by electroshock. He states that he was a difficult child which caused his mother to beat him severely and to this day, they do not get along.

In general, he states that his relationship with women has been a disaster. His first relationship was in 1974; he fell desperately in love with the woman, a college classmate, with whom he had a very stormy relationship that finally ended in 1978 when she refused to marry him. He met another woman in May 1980; they married in June 1980, and divorced in 1983. For the next TEN YEARS, until December 1994, he says that he did not go out with anyone. Then, on December 6th, 1994, he met a former college classmate, married her on December 29th, 1994, and as he states, for various reasons, divorced her in September 1995.

In college, he majored in languages, but while attending was also agitating against the government which got him thrown in jail for one year. He managed to flee his homeland in 1983 via Rome, and when he arrived in New York, managed to get a job as a concierge in a top New York Hotel. From that point forward, his life has been relatively stable, but he states that he cannot handle the stress of New York.

He was diagnosed with hepatitis C - a life threatening condition - in March 1994. He also states that he has irritable bowel syndrome, obsessive compulsive disorder, and a "vast array of other minor afflictions for practically every other part of my body."

He states that he has absolutely no athletic ability and despises most physical activities. He says that he is terrified of poverty to a psychotic degree and handles people with difficulty, especially neighbors that impinge on his privacy.

He writes poetry, has an interest in esoterica and the paranormal, loves walks in park, and most of all craves silence.

He wants to move from New York to prolong his life as the stress affects his liver, yet he is afraid to do so as he fears losing his income and that he will not be able to secure another job.

End.
