Even though I've said hello to every one, it's been going through my mind that I really haven't said who I am.
We are asking others to share, so I thought I would as well.
I was born in Salem Oregon #4 of 5 kids. I have three older sisters (only two still living) and a younger brother.
My parents divorced when I was seven or eight and the kids went with dad. Within the first year, my sisters decided to join mom and after that dad started to drink.
We moved around a lot when I was a kid, so never really had friends.
My dad was hitting the bottle fairly hard and most of the time it was after 10:00 at night before he got home from work. So I had to teach myself how to cook, clean, sew, iron, take care of my brother (2 years younger than me) and get us both off to school.
I never did well in school, never did homework.
By the time I was 15, I smoked, well acquainted with booze and had experimented with a number of different drugs. By this time we had moved to Vancouver Canada. I hung out with a local street gang and been in a number of fights. I've got the broken teeth and the knife scars to prove it.
I was well organized in the area of break & enter and fencing my goods. By these means I was able to buy my first motorcycle at the age of 17.
The Hells Angles were recruiting in Vancouver about this time. While I rode and partied with them a number of times, I never joined.
At 18 I left home and headed for Vernon B.C.. It was here that I lost my heart for the first time. She was a Wiccan, and together we experienced many things over the next year. But all things come to an end some time. After we parted ways, I went into a very dark time.
My mother had always hinted of certain things while I was growing up (she was a witch and always stayed in touch) and my time in Vernon filled in the blanks.
This dark time lasted until '72 when I decided it was either get killed, go to jail, or get a change of scenery.
I decided to join the army which was a real motivator for turning me around. I spent 5 years in the army, spent time training with the US special forces, been sent into some fairly hot situations and yes, I have killed.
It was while in the army that I meet my wife of, coming on 31 years.
We have two daughters and five grand kids.
My youngest daughter, I guess is too much like her father. She ran away from home at 12 and lived on the streets until 17. She's been in and out of the house ever since. For the past six years she has been a nude dancer. Almost 2 years ago she asked if we could take her three kids as her life style was not good for them. Of coarse we said yes. They been with us ever since.
She immediately started turning tricks.
Well, I could keep going, but this gives an idea of why I am who I am.
If it gives you some inspiration to share and unburden then its done it's job.
Eya Va...Peace be yours.
