Once upon a time... no no no, how bout... there once was a man from nantucket... no, too familiar... ok how bout this... call me ishmael... no, my name is Zatara.  I come from a land flowing with milk and honey.  Ok Manhattan isn't that cool but, well, i like it all the same.  My dad always thought this island was a decaying heap of too many people in one place, yet we never moved... until the whole war on terrorism began.  Now i live in Texas, big and beutiful Texas.  Not my home, but Texas.  Yes life has it's ups and downs, but for me, it's all zig-zagging.  Kinda makes me dizzy.  Life just goes by so fast.  Anyways the hardest part was leaving my girlfriend.  No this isn't another romance story, it's a story that never ends, and this is how it began, and how life as i knew it ended...
