Warning you

My name is Puck Fawlenty.

I am a charismatic, intelligent, educated, Minnesotan, humorous, and good looking guy. Oh, and I happen to be undocumented in the United States of America.

Not to put you in the spot, but I really wonder why you are reading this. Is it because you are trying to "understand" what it means to be an undocumented person in the U.S.? Well, you ain't getting that from me baby. I am so much more than that. Through being here, you will learn about a real person, someone who makes mistakes (not me of course) and some times gets things right.

I do have a very loving family, as I am sure many of you do as well. We of course have our things going, but ultimately we are a family, and we only get one--unless you live double lives, which I've heard isn't healthy.

I live a normal life, unless you bring up that about being undocumented. Then really, things get interesting. I try not to think about that since I am more than that, but in so many ways, my life revolves around that fact. Sometimes I dream about it. I dream horrible things, things that have already happened and things I dare imagine happen.

Person, please be advised that sometimes my life story is going to make you laugh, stir you feelings, tear you apart, is going to break your heart that you will wish you had never started reading this. Of course, I am just kidding--my life can be awesome!

With that half-jokingly warning, I will let you into my life even if I never know you were here, even if you go undocumented.

-The Honorable P
