Bronson's
The main character is Bronson. Bronson was born in a small town. When he was a boy he often retreated into his own imagination. Growing up he was drawn to acting and performance arts. His passion to act and to deeply express himself through performance grew into a fulltime obsession. By the time he was 20 he was regularly starring in performances in his hometown at night and working as a commercial plumber by day.
He was always drawn to the stage. Any means possible was his mantra through the roughest of times. His father was a sporting man and would always bet against him in his success of his performances. His father took too the bottle soon after Bronson took to the stage. A man who was the 1st white male to be the 1st round draft pick in the Mexican futbol league, and the author of the best-selling book “I’ve been to hell, and her name was China” a biography of his life experiences during the trip he took with team Mexico in the Winter Olympics; his experience turned sour soon after team Mexico’s main downfall, their arrogance, put them in the situation that made them realize they showed up to the Olympics thinking there was a mistake in them not being invited, and a man which the word disappointment couldn’t begin to explain his disgust of his sons choice in profession. Needless to say when Bronson realized that his father was driving a brand new Mercedes off the money he had won off of Bronson’s last mishap in the 2nd act of “Antigone” playing King Creon where he forgot a trivial line, he was crushed.
Bronson’s mother a self-medicating alcoholic and self-proclaimed tourettes syndrome sufferer with the potent disease of mouth flatulence love’s Bronson more than anyone in his world. She mentioned in her last attempted suicide note, which are written daily just “for kicks”, that Bronson was the only one keeping her going. He loves her dearly yet is constantly alerted of her disease both by her flammable breath and her uninhibited shouts of “FAILURE”.
Through it all his oddly supportive family is his even keeled partner in life, his best friend, confident and life coach . Jackleene is a former track star who only quite recently has been secretly harboring deep rooted feelings for Bronson. Bronson has told Jackleene everything in his mind for the past 19 years including his first secret “gaaallggaa” and his most recent “I put it in her drainpipe”; the plumbing accident included a mutual teacher Jackleene and Bronson once had and despised. He had taken military grade artificial cement and clogged Ms. Kakeass’s drainpipe willing a disastrous and smelly backup. Even though Bronson would have to eventually clean it up, this small victory over the monster that was Ms. Kakeass and the tortures he had to endure in her 1st grade class was well worth it! Jackleene and Bronson made a dynamic duo. Her silly faces and positive outlook on life kept him in rapture, and his steady hand while working with pipes kept her in a state of fascination.

FB BS awesomeness!
Three startegies for self deception are: selective-omission, exaggeration and embellishment, and blaming circumstances. Selective omission can be seen when people on Facebook are tagged in photos. If someone deems a photograph to be unbecoming of their public image they can selectively omit themselves from the photo by de-tagging himself. Exaggeration and embellishment can be seen in Facebook when someone makes himself or herself seem a lot more important. For instance a person may talk about a particular event through photo comments as having much more grandiose details than were actually present. Blaming circumstances is a case in which someone may blame an unassociated circumstance as an explanation of a particular behavior. In the case of someone on Facebook, there might be a posted photograph where a person is partaking in an unsavory social situation or ritual. If the person cannot take the photo off of the Internet they might write a comment blaming something as a possible excuse of their behavior in hopes that someone viewing the image will accept their behavior as merely an outlier in their otherwise pristine veneer.
