THE EARLY YEARS........
I
was born in a small one room house in Indiana not far from Gray, In. but still in the middle munchkinland central.
The twelfth child born to black migrant sharecropper family living well below the federal poverty level,
our house had tires but our car had none and was sitting on cinder blocks in the front yard. After I was weaned I
started walking to the public library and began reading books by J. K. Rowling, The Harry Potter series, Harry's schooling was
almost identical to mine! EXCEPT I went to college and he don't : ) One day while I was waiting for the next
book in the series to be released I had an epiphany in technicolor, Go West Young Man! It was like this
Dude was speaking directly to me in Ozzy Osbourne voice, only louder! (
if you're past the age of puberty you want to substitute Horace Greeley for This Dude and Charlton Heston for
Ozzy Osbourne, it mite be easier to understand. If you see the word Shrooms switch it to a Valium with a Tequila
chaser) And no I hadn't been smoken or doing shooms, I quit that shit years ago! So what a man to do, I started picking
up and saving Coke cans and empty beer bottles Two weeks later I had enough save up to buy new slightly used,
one owner skateboard. The next morning I packed up my video games, a six pack of juicy juice, some ding dongs, hand
full of slim jim's, grabbed my skateboard and headed out the door, sometimes a man got to do what a man got do, Dude!
I jumped on I-80 going westbound to the promised land of swimming pools and movie stars some were between
Cheyenne and Salt lake City I passed a beard hippie type dude I think his name was Forrest, Forrest Gump. While I rolled
west I listen to Neil Diamond sing We're coming to America as I continued to head west to the land
of my forefathers. Not!!! Actually my I-Pod is maxed out with Black Sabbath, Metallica, Noise Pollution
with a little Ozzy Osbourne to keep me chilled out in the summer sun, the only
reason I mentioned Neil Diamond was to make my mom happy and not to lose my PG-13 site rating. Next month I'll
write about my ill fated attempt to set a land speed record at Bonneville salt flats with a parachute and my skateboard.
I did make it to the hospital in thirty minutes or less setting a new record, Thank You Domino's!
Followed by Running a Muck in Winnemucca, Dating Miss Vickey in Viriginia city, and finally closing with
Slim Pickings on Donner Pass. Oh Well, You win some, you lose some, and some rained out. But my motto has always been "VENI
VIDI VICI" I Came, I Saw, I Conquered! and California was calling me. Westward Ho, Feet don't fail me I've got
700 miles to go to see my baby!
