“Learn all you can from the mistakes of Others. You won’t have time to make them all Yourself.”
- Alfred Sheinwold
What is “Handles?”
“Handles” are the accumulation of Short Stories aimed at highlighting Mistakes, Misjudgments, and down right Mindless actions leading to the opposite of the desired results. Knowing what to avoid is critical to growth. Understandably, Answers are what we’re all looking for, unfortunately the few answers I have been able to accumulate, have come in direct correlation of my mishaps. Strange how mistakes are unpleasant common denominators that we shy away from sharing. If learning from mistakes is something you believe in, get a tight grip on Handles!!
About Lorenzo…
(JAG) “Just a Guy” from Texas finding his way like everyone else. Proud Military Brat with a unique combination of Discipline, Style and Wittiness. Worldly Traveled from a young age, and wearing those incredible experiences like a permanent book bag. Unfortunately, some of those experiences were applied in the wrong places at the wrong time, leading to sharp life lessons that linger to this day. With a Loving family and Amazing upbringing, I can’t truly pinpoint when the train derailed but the consistent, barrage of mistakes continue to pile up making it nearly impossible to get back on track. Luckily, it didn’t take long to realize that the track was riddled with mistakes and surprisingly, I’m not the only person on this specific train of life. Sprinkle in my love of sports, odd decisions in friends, and undiagnosed OCD, and you're all caught up. My uncanny ability to transform these blunders into flippant short stories will either remind you, or warn you of the thin lines between left and right. More about me you ask? Subscribe and pull up a chair….the story gets better!
