Hi.. As I read through your story I couldn't help but have flashbacks of my own three week hospital stay... Granted no where near 3 months, but enough to leave a lasting impression. Hopefully many peope will read this and learn more about Crohn's, yes it's growing, but it's very far from being well known. Between that and it being an autoimmune disorder that jumps around, many people are misdiagnosed. Your story brought me to tears though because knowing that someone else feels the way you do and understands is an amazing feeling. I wish you the best and keep spreading the word <3

Andy,
I gotta roll for now, but just read your reviews for Rocky IV & Rocky Balboa, both of which I love, as I'm a fan like you. I'll make some comments on those and some of your other reviews, but just wanted to pass along that I think you're a gifted writer with a flair for expression.
Keep up the great work!
Mark

Andy,
Your site And you mind is positively amazing. you have so much potential and inspiration. i love writing poems but i write them about my feelings. i dont usually add people i dont know on myspace but wen i read what you wrote it took my breath away. i am from knottingley myself so i see a LOT of pontefract and understand most of the things i have read :). You are an inspiration to a lot of people xxxxx =]

Hello Andy, I wanted to let you know that your tattoos and poetry are very inspiring. I just turned 18, and I'm getting ready for my first tattoo. I want it to surround my mother's best friend, Carolyn Clay Mercer, who passed almost 9 years ago. My first idea is a simple heart that has stiches across it and in each section is a different color in a crayon- style. And possibly, have it read 'Requiscat in Pace' which is 'Let them rest in peace' in Latin. This represents a lot for me. A short year after Carolyn died, my Pepe passed away. And just a year or two ago, I shared the same pain as you of losing a child. I would have been a mother at 16.
Our bodies are temples, and in our temples we create a timeline of the obsticles in which we face. Whether or not we've accomplished them is not in question, but the fact that we should never forget them. Soldiers, like my father, may share their scars with a purple heart, but the scars that people like you and me have will always remain at the bottom of our hearts. For me, that's where it's always stayed, at the bottom of my heart. I would like to learn how to wear my heart on my sleeve, and let the things that have happend to me sink in, and let me accept them.
There is a quote that I have always returned to in times when I still feel that emptiness in my tummy.
"Death is not extinguishing the light; it is putting out the lamp because the dawn has come" - Rabindrath Tagore

Andy!!
What an ace website. You are a talented writer and drunken poetry texter (i save them in my outbox because i am a geek) and plus you love Ripley so we are not just pretending to be on the same wavelength. I wish you every luck with your choice of words in the future and hope to glimpse your frogs on the shelves in power hungry Waterstones or maybe a nice independent book shop I have set up where I just serve tea all day and let people read books for free. We'll have to stay in touch innit. Especially if I am off to Japan land. Bye bye for now

You know how you rail against the BNP in one of your fine poems? Are you layering multiple strands of self-deprecating irony in displaying a deep-seated misognystic streak that makes you to women what the BNP are to black people? Or were you being so ironic that even you hadn't picked up on that yet?
Keep poeting!
