The Rager

Anthony Godby Johnson, we were all told, had the worst boyhood in human history. During the ‘80s, Tony was beaten, abused, prostituted, raped, and passed around a pedophile ring. He became homeless, was dying of AIDS and syphilis, and had his leg amputated. Oh, and a gang wanted to murder him. His life reads like the backstories of 20 “strong” female characters rolled into one.
When calling a suicide hotline (because who wouldn’t?), Tony was connected to Vicki Johnson, who saved him from his living nightmare. Vicki said she befriended the dying-of-everything-under-the-sun Tony, nursed him back to health, and helped him write about what happened. His 1993 memoir A Rock And A Hard Place came out when he was just 14. It became a bestseller, the movie rights were picked up by HBO, and it was even featured on the always-trustworthy Oprah. America couldn’t get enough of the boy with a thousand Sin City stories in his life.
But cracks started to show when people wanted to meet Tony, as Vicki had never let anyone meet the sickly, sickly boy. A few people had talked to him on the phone, and noted that he had an effeminate voice that was strangely similar to Vicki’s. We know what you’re thinking: the twist is that Vicki and Tony were long-lost twins! But shockingly, no. When 20/20 had a voice analyst examine some recordings, he concluded that Vicki and Tony were the same person. Gasp!

Love, Defining the Passion
Eros: Loving the ideal of a person both physically and emotionally.
Ludos: A type of love that is played as a game or conquest. (Could result in many partners at one time.)
Storge: Love that stems from friendship over time.
And just like the colour wheel, these three styles of love, can be combined to create complimentary colours. Resulting in three secondary styles of love.
Mania: A combination of Eros and Ludos, Mania is a style of love that is obsessive. This includes emotional highs and lows, jealousy, and very possesive feelings.
Pragma: A combination of Ludos and Storge, Pragma is a love that is practical. Lovers go into a situation with the hopes of reaching their final goal. With results that are not limited too the thought of practicality and reality.
Agape: A combitation of Eros and Storge, Agape is a love that is all-encompassing and selfless. “True love”.
