First Book of You

Hello, my name is Bryan Price. I go by Bob the Butcher of Bliss. This is a book recounting the many different manifestations of the proverbial "e;you"e; on the road towards true love. Whatever that may be. I began this book four years ago when I was in love with a girl I could not have. This is an attempt at reconciling that pain as I recount, in 70 different stories/poems, the utter triumph or failure of those gifts of mist -- those endeavors into romance -- those near misses and cataclysms of great substance and crumbs. Maybe, you'll recognize someone important to you here. Maybe, you'll recognize your story within my trials and tribulations. Hopefully, as you trudge forward, this will serve as a source of fuel for you . . . as you make your way to what's important . . . to that final manifestation of "e;you"e;. This is chapter one of those crimes.
