I use to be a Junkie..... I use to live on the streets and put whatever I could up my nose or down my throat. I think maybe for having this experience nothing scares me. So many People threw out my life has told me secrets that they just assume would shock me. I would always sit there calmly and they would get all quit as if they were thinking I was so shock I needed a moment. But that's not the case.

I"ve seen things that normal People don't see, I've seen People OD I"ve seen People murder, for $5 dollars ,I've seen Whores get beat almost to death by their pimps. Sometimes it goes threw my mind like a movie, like one of those movies that start in the middle and then goes backwards and then forwards.I"ve sat at the table with very important people in Russian Families, where before I could eat , I had to thank them for letting me in there group and home.

I was barefoot, when I was homeless,, my shoes stolen by a homeless man, which he never would have been able to to wear them, but still he stole my shoes. My feet were cut up, from the glass on the streets. Those day's I felt like I was dead.

It's no one's fault but my own, My mind was it strong enough to handle the addictions to drugs.My Soul was empty and black... though I was a Junkie with morals..... I guess my mother did something right. I never had sex for drugs or money,I actually got a name for myself. I was the one everyone could trust, On the streets People knew that they could tell me there secrets and I would never tell.

The life I live now, it's been about ten years, I find to be very hum drum. We are all like ants just wondering around. The day is filled with nothing but bull shit.... shit at work and shit out of other people's mouth. People who have never lived the way I have or do not have a better understanding, bore me.

There are always those People who have never stepped out of upper middle class and truly have seen what the "others" have lived. Yet they Lie... about it. They sell there drugs and think that they are cool, they get to beat on some poor kid who beat them for drugs or cash and they feel like there life is complete. But out in the grown up world , the hard world, it's tougher then this......

sigh

This is how the town I live in is like, People have no clue, they run in huge gangs about 30 plus and they always have each others backs. Because that's how things are done here. They make up some crazy story on how There father is related to some big time Maffia guy up in NYC.


eeek shocked

I"m not impressed, it seems that everyone is related to some Godfather in this area.... because this is farm country and the cows might need a beating to stay on track.....

I'm ranting about a lot of things here I know, I just find that there are so many stupid people around here, and i"m tired of it...... blackeyed

My hometown was actually similar in many ways. Everyone had their group, and would fight among each other (and yes, bats, knives, and guns would often come into play). It was silly, since the population of the town was only a little over 10k.

The "real world" can be tough, but it has its rewards as well.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to pick up and backpack across Europe just for the hell of it! Haha! Wanna come with me? wink

I got to tour around the Naples area with a couple of Marines for a few days back in the military, which was awesome. I also got to hang out at a "local" tavern in Dublin during a layover once. I only spent a few hours there, but they taught me a bunch of drinking songs and drinking the local beer (had never drank it warm, but it still was good). I didn't pay for a single drink in that place.

I have always wanted to go to Germany and a few other places. Someday, someday...

Very true. But what you've been through and have seen may well benefit you and your children. There are a lot of ups and downs in life it seems, but you're still here. That's all that really counts.

My senior chief had recommended for me to go in my uniform. The minute they saw those dress blues, the tavern folk fell all over themselves to hang out with a Yank sailor. It was a great time. It also probably helped that a lot of my ancestors were Irish.

Sadly, its a crazy world. People will do anything to divert attention from their own shortcomings. But surely you can't evolve if these shortcomings are'nt addressed?

Go ahead, be grumpy! I'm worried my blog is turning into grumpy central (population: one). Still, got to get it out into the open. No use keeping things stuck inside.

In the end experiencing those things, as bad as they might be, makes you a better and stronger person. And probably makes you a hell lot more interesting than those other people in your town..

But hey, maybe the cows do need a beating once in a while? lol

I've been trying to think of something appropriate to say. Trying to find to proper words to convey
how much I love and appreciate you humor and intelligence, your courage, honesty and bravery. I want to tell you how glad I am that you have survived all of your previous adversity, and convey my sincere hope that you will triumph over all of the forces that are working against you now.

Well, I guess that will do for now...

Take good care of yourself and
watch out for those damn cows.
