I am Not Who I am Not

Looking beyond Googlism, more mundane than a phone book search and deeper than Amazon authors searches, is my identity. There are Jennifer Jordan's running around out there doing things I would never do and things I really wish I could do. But I'm not them and they're not me but we are all together.

I am not a sociology professor at UW Madison.

I am not an assistant proffessor of African American literature at Howard Unniversity.

I am not a CNN award winning journalist and film maker.

I am not a country gospel singer.

I am not a porn star.

I am not the author of children's books or cozies or award winning lesbian mysteries.
I am not a lesbian.
I am not a lawyer.
I am not a counselor and psychotherapist.
I am not a medical doctor specialinzing in Otolaryngology.
I am not a Freshman vollyball player at Auburn University.
I am not a San Francisco based interior designer.
I am not 21 years old with a husband named Tim.

I do not have a husband named Chris.

I do not play golf or basketball.

I do not write a Catholic parenting column for the Herlald.

I don't teach.
I don't work for The Providence Journal

I never climbed K2, the world's most feared mountain, make a film and
I didn't write a book about it.

Well, I'm glad that's all cleared up.
