Intro #2
November 18th, 2008
So, Where did I leave off? Oh yeah, so I left El Paso (good riddance) I didn’t really like being a Mexican anyways. I mean they are good people with a rich culture and a beautiful language but try as I might I never really fit in. I went on a road trip with Lexington,Ky as my final destination. But that didn’t really work, I made a pit-stop at my uncles house in the Arkansas boonies with a gang-banger buddy of mine named THUMPER. My uncle saw us as poor lost souls and was gonna make men out of us. So we hung out for a few months, then I got kicked out for not being redneck enough, but they kept my Hispanic buddy. They actually put him through college and he lived there for another 4 years. During my time there I had few other options so I joined the Miltary but I wasn’t to go to bootcamp until May of the following year. So off to Lexington (where my grandparents still lived) to wait it out until May.
I LoVED Lexington. I had a decent job as a produce person at a grocery store, dated fairly often, and loved my life at home with my grandparents. Now my Grandfather(PAPAW), was not only a Pastor, but a pretty famous one. In fact he was Vice-president of the ABA(American Baptits Association) and a well respected Christian author, and unlike my POPS he actually practiced what he preached. So I stayed out of trouble so as not to embarrass him. Plus I was tired of trouble. While I was there my papaw took a job in Hatiessburg, Miss. where he was a pastor and Dean of a seminary. So off I moved again. Only 3 months til boot-camp. Hattiesburg was cool, but not too much to mention. But I’m sure I have a couple of stories from that era as well. Then in May of that year I went in to the Navy. And that is where I will leave off for now. Sorry, this intro is way longer than expected. I should be able to wrap this stuff up in the next couple of postings then we’ll get to the good stuff. Sound like a plan?
