Yaaayyy! :D That's what I was aiming for. I enjoy writing things that explore different concepts than the mainstream does.

Liborio, Olympia, and Ruggiero live complicated lives. They have to find ways of supporting themselves and each other so that they don't fall apart. This is the kind of stuff that I'd really like to see more of in entertainment. But the mainstream is all *BIFF* *POW* *credits roll* Which is as frustrating as "Wham, bam, thank you ma'am."
