I am around 3 in both of these pictures with my Grandfather Arnold and one of our many pet deer. Wildlife was always a big part of my life growing up. I didn’t just play in the woods I brought nature home with me. I had a lot of fun with my Grandfather growing up, I wish that he was still alive today to see everything that I have accomplished, but such is life.
This is me around the age of 4 with my best friend in the whole world at that time, Shep. He was the best dog in the whole world. He was very protective of me!!!! I remember one day when my Mother thought that she would have a little fun and she pushed me into a little kiddie swimming pool. I’m talking about the ones that only hold like six inches of water. When Shep heard me scream, he ran over and bit my Mother on the ass. I have owned a couple dogs since then, but Shep truly was the greatest. What pisses me off was the way he died. I grew up on a farm, so Shep was never tied or chained up. He would do like most dogs and chase the few cars that would drive by. He would never leave the property and he would never go on the road. One day he was hit by a car and killed. You could see the tire tracks in the yard from who ever ran my dog over. The driver had to actually drive into the front yard to run over my dog. In all honesty, it still pisses me off that someone drove into the yard to run over my dog.
Wow, look at my Easter basket overflowing, oh wait, you can barely see the stuff inside. LOL I am thinking that I was only 4 or 5 in this picture. I can’t believe my parents dressed me like that, oh well such is life. LOL The basket may not have been over flowing, but I was happy and my parents are two people that are always there for me when I need something.
Here I am as a young lad after church. See, at one point in time I was gullible enough to believe in fairytales. LOL Since then I have grown up; however, my beliefs may have changed, but I still have the same, oh yeah I’m hot attitude. LOL
Here I am after one of my first fishing trips. I caught six fish that day and I have been hooked on fishing since then. Those were the good old days, not a care in the world and I could go fishing with out having to worry about work or school. None the less, I still spend as much time as I can fishing.
This is my sister Ashley and myself posing beside my Grandfather’s headstone. My Grandfather and I were pretty close, he was the first one to take me fishing. Hell, he was the first one I wanted to call after my finger was cut off because he was missing three fingers on the same hand. I couldn’t wait to tell him that I was just like him. As much as I loved my Grandfather I can honestly say that I hated posing for this picture.
This is me playing after taking pictures all day at the Cemetery where my Grandfather is buried at. Basically I hated taking pictures so much that my mother had to bribe me to take the pictures.
I don’t remember much about this picture, my guess is that it was taken at Christmas time. LOL One thing I know for sure is that back then I was an ugly mother fucker. LMAO
 
This adorable little lady is my cousin Jayde. I was 10 in this picture, I’m not sure how old Jayde was at the time. I used to do a lot of stuff with Jayde at one point in time I would go every year to the Carnival with her and Uncle Randy (Jayde’s Dad) Aunt Deb (Jayde’s Mom). Some where through the years though we grew apart. It is entirely my fault though, I got older got a car and lost sight of my priorities. Jayde has grown into a very beautiful young whom is now in college. She has a very bright and wonderful future ahead of her. Jayde, I wish you all the best in life!!!! The man in the doorway is Don. He has been a family friend and neighbor for as long as I can remember.
 
This is me yet again at 17 years old, at least I believe so. LOL I am holding little Nikki. I’m not sure, but I think that this picture was taken at her birthday party. I don’t remember a whole helluva a lot about this particular day, but I do know that it was at a birthday party and as always I was strutting my stuff and showing off. LOL
This is me with my cousin Kim. I believe that I was 17 in this picture. Kim and I had a lot of fun growing up over years. We could only see each other during the summer months due to the fact that she lived in FL with her mother. There are a lot of stories that I could tell, but I think I may just decided not to. LOL Seriously though the last time I talked to Kim she still was disgusted about eggs due to a few things that she and I did one day with the eggs we found at our Uncle Roger’s place.
 
Here I am at yet another Halloween party. I was supposed to be the bride and Jayde was supposed to be the groom, if I remember correctly she backed out and came as something different. If I’m not mistaken that is Uncle Randy that I am kissing as Uncle Al sets back and laughs his fucking ass off. The family Halloween party was always fun, yet again though, something else that for some reason I stopped going to. I have spent so much time lately being the superstar that I lost touch with most of my family, I think I really should make an effort to change that.
God only knows what I was staring at. What I do know though is that I was on vacation with my favorite Uncle Randy and Aunt Deb. I don’t remember who all was on that vacation I do know for sure that Jayde and Chris was there because well, they are Randy and Deb’s kids. LOL I don’t know for sure, but I could swear that Kim was also on that vacation. In fact I am so sure that I would bet my life on it. Kim is Randy’s oldest daughter. The two things that I remember the most from this vacation one: trying to prove that if Randy could do it so could I. So, I got sick from eating two quarter pounders from McDonalds and two Randy taking the heat for me in the hotel. One of Deb’s big pet peeves is people squeezing the tooth paste tube in the middle and not the end. I know damn well that I did it, but when she was asking who it was I sat there quietly and Randy said that he must have done it. Come on now, he was married to her, he knew better than to squeeze the tube in the wrong place. Thanks Randy. LOL
 
For those of you that have read everything that I have ever typed or have been following me and my life for a while, this is a picture of a young lady that you have all heard mentioned more than once. This is Jamie my first wife. I am not going to ramble on like I usually do, I think that by now we all know that she was the first person to encourage me to follow my dreams. Jamie, if you see this I just want to say thank you for everything.
