About Me

myself & eye

This is Me. Born in 1962 on Kodiak Island.

I was raised in Southern California, spent summers in Uganik bay and fishing as a child. my parents divorced when I was 10 years old.

I was an active alcoholic from the time I was a teenager I graduated high school at Lynnwood Washington, after attending 5 different high schools 2 in California canyon & Bowman, and 2 in Alaska West high and Diamond High. I love to scribble and write about my thoughts and experiences. I have a vivid imagination. but try no to stretch the truth be told. I was a commercial fisherman, my proudest profession, laborer and carpenter, O and I have an associate degree in computer science, I love gadgets. My hobbies are sleeping, sleeping and more sleeping, and i had done a lot of sleeping around :/ dont judge ME, lol ok goat head. what difference does it make. I am keenly aware of my insignificance in this life. I have come to realize time is running out for me, at 61 years of age, I hope to make the best of the years I have left. writing about myself is one of those joys, regardless of who reads. I prefer not to know. I am a lost soul at times. always searching for answers that will never come. I want to love everybody, yet life is hard. I feel I am a splash in the nothingness of our lives. a ghost in a bag of air.

My life has been full of adventure and pain. I had my eye knocked out when I was 22 years old. I quit drinking for good in 1996 after getting my final DUI on news years Eve. My greatest accomplishment is raising 3 children with my wife Sweet Mary. that and being in a relationship for over 35 years. I survived stage 4 throat cancer after having half my throat cut out and treated with chemo and radiation, I am a General Contractor still slaving away and just trying to make a living and doing the best I can without killing myself.

I am an ameture geneologist and have made many discoveries on my family history. I am a health nut in my cancer recovery, I do not eat sugar or bread products. meat Veggies and fruit, lots of nuts too. only natural food for me. no oils created in a lab or products  made from them. My biggest pet peeve about our world is the scam we live in where Hospitals are for profit and the food we are being spoon fed at massive levels are creating all the health problems. The other one, is we are all slaves to these condition created for us. I see no freedom. not for me. we are born into a life, we have no control over most things in life. Only our reactions. destiny might very well be written. Everything happens for  a reason, and everything that happens was meant to happen.
