Recent events and misinterpreted jabs have brought to light an issue that I think needs addressed. On the net it is hard to get a feel for the manner in which something said is actually intended. Often what leaves one person's key board as a joke becomes sharp words that hurt or incense when they reach someone else's monitor. Such seems to have been the case in a recent Ted Z post (http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7944&perpage=15&pagenumber=1).
Several people jumped in to defend Beezil nearly causing both a war between the states and a racial riot in the process.
What some don't realize is how close these two kids really are.
Growing up in a small Mormon town a bit off the beaten path

Beezil and Ted Z are actually twin brothers of different mothers, though their lives have been very different.
Early on, it was plain to see that Beezil was very out going and (much to the disapproval of his parents) showed a desire for the flesh.

On the other hand, Ted (or Lil' Roy as he was sometimes called) had few friends and seemed to keep to himself most of the time.

This trend continued into early adolescence and while Ted genuinely tried to be more outgoing
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/022003-vi.jpg
it was still clear that Beezil had the Mojo.
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/knowledgecrop-vi.jpg
As Beezil excelled in school and on the social scene, Ted floundered. Doctors and Psychiatrists alike pondered Ted's dysfunction. For many years Doctor's mistakenly thought that the problem lie in the boy's Mothers. Beezil's mom was the athletic type A personality

while Ted's mom was the more passive and lazy type, preferring her "me" time over family interaction.
http://images3.fotki.com/v35/photos/4/42106/124698/toomuchsun-vi.jpg
This erroneous diagnosis and subsequent ineffective treatment only worsened Ted's strife. He tried to pattern himself after his successful brother and hold down a Job but it proved difficult, for while Beezil (on the right in this work time photo) had a career fighting for what he believed in
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/net_porn-vi.jpg
Ted could not hold even the most remedial job.
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/041803-vi.jpg
The best one could say about Ted is that he was always honest.
http://images3.fotki.com/v35/photos/4/42106/124698/nobull-vi.jpg
Though Beezil did have a dark side that few knew about (shown here in one of Chicago's gay pride parades)
http://images3.fotki.com/v35/photos/4/42106/124698/hair4love-vi.jpg
and here in his version of running with the bulls,
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/072903-vi.jpg
Ted's life on the streets was even darker. Destitute, Ted bounced from shelter to shelter picking up a meal and whatever clothes could be spared.
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/032503-vi.jpg
It wasn't until a deep hypnosis session several years later in the prison Psych ward that Ted's problem was revealed. He had been incarcerated after having been fired from one of his many jobs. Ted had become angry when they let him go and stole the uniform. He went on a several day bender that led to his arrest. Seizing on Ted's arrest photo
http://images2.fotki.com/v11/photos/4/42106/124698/santa-vi.jpg
an astute Doctor picked up on the root of Ted's problem.
Though few knew it had even happened, Ted’s childhood trauma was of epic proportions, and had scarred him for his many years.
http://images3.fotki.com/v35/photos/4/42106/124698/ripsantaKids-vi.jpg
With the proper diagnosis and treatment, Ted’s life began to improve. He was able to hold a job at the local Zoo for a time, though some of his medication made it hard for him to grasp all that went on around him.
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/bearlyvisable-vi.jpg
As Ted continued on his treatment he was able to meet the girl he was to marry.
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/bigteddy-vi.jpg
Even though he still had reservations when it came time to exchange vows,
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/help-vi.jpg
things seemed to go better during the honeymoon. In fact, one could say Ted jumped right in to his husbandly duties.
http://images3.fotki.com/v35/photos/4/42106/124698/boyswillbeboys-vi.jpg
While I would like to say all went well with Ted’s marriage, such was not the case. During a short relapse Ted’s wife ran off with his therapist. But there was good news as Ted (shown here at his low point)
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/043003-vi.jpg
Was able to make a full recovery. He now owns his own chain of stores in the Southeast US.
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/missouribusiness-vi.jpg
and is making a very good living.
He still remains very close to his twin brother Beezil who moved up north and opened his own business.
http://images3.fotki.com/v35/photos/4/42106/124698/070703-vi.jpg
and is marketing his own scented candle line on the side.
http://images3.fotki.com/v29/photos/4/42106/124698/man-vi.jpg
The twins are reported to be very happy and still communicate daily right here on NAXJA, though sometimes their banter can and is misinterpreted. But no matter how sharp their comments may appear, those of us that know them can feel the love:smootch: .
I know this story probably made some want to
http://images3.fotki.com/v34/photos/4/42106/124698/dogralph-vi.jpg
For those folks and for those that didn’t like it or that I offended all I can say is
