Colin Andrews Is Broke

My sympathy and empathy to Colin Andrews. He is broke.
 
Many of the researchers, ufologists, and writers I know in this field live from one small check to another. Are we all broke? I am broke.
 
Is it only the television production companies and magazine owners that make money? Do only the publishers walk on streets paved in gold? That's silly. Nevertheless, I am broke.
 
Frankly, we pick what we do, and hope to make the best of it. I complain little except to about five people, because I am doing what I want to do. I am a Fortean, a cryptozoologist, and an author. I am broke.
 
I declared bankruptcy a few years ago; I write books; I have no money in the bank; I appear on television documentaries that pay no money; I owe people thousands of dollars; I appear on radio interviews that pay no money; I am seen as a successful writer of over 25 books and hundreds of articles; I help others with introductions to books that pay no money; I give talks to some groups for little money and to others for free. I enjoy what I do and I am broke.
 
I blame no one but myself. I would rather do this than work at a university, in a mail room, or on a paper route. I've done those things and lived unfulfilled. I do what I want to do now, and I am broke.
 
My income in 2004 was zero. For 2005, it may be below that. I am broke.
 
Colin Andrews is broke.
 
We are all broke.

Yet Colin says, "Not so! Untrue!
Yourself? Contrive to disabuse!
I am ~not~ bereft of bucks!
Suggesting same just 'blows' and 'sucks'!
No, I am not a broken thing!
That intimation? ...It wounds and stings"!

All empathy with you, otherwise, Sir. Since about '97, or so, I've lost roughly $180,000 in real income... ...when my interest in UFOs was used as a device to get me fired from a public teaching position? This was done in a manner so destructive and damning... ...my potential for ~ever~ getting subsequent employment was, likely, substantively destroyed... Bitter pill, that.
 
...I remember John Ford and consider myself lucky, still, even if I don't really feel safe, yet, and more unsafe with each passing day, actually. I've got eyes to see and ears to hear.
 
For my part, I'd thought you were 'successful' and 'wealthy' too... ...DESERVEDLY SO! Books articles, appearances, and reputation... it seemed obvious... I'm very disappointed you are not. Sincerely...
 
I agree with you, though. Continuing the consideration of this ...paranormal/ufological/crypto-zoological... 'thing' is preferable to an empty 'wealth'... by a couple of orders of magnitude. Good thing. I'd be well and truly lost, otherwise... ...and actually have nothing... no matter how much I had.
 
Hey! When my "ship comes in" I'll throw you a bone with some meat on it! [g]. I'll rescue Richard Hall too... I promise.
