I must start by saying although my brother could be mean to me like all brothers he was also incredibly protective of me.

I was and still am not the biggest person but because of the reputation my brother had no one kid or grown up would try to hard to bully me or intimidate me because they knew of the consequences.

Now as an adult I know that type of fear instilled in others is not good but I am kind of ashamed to say grateful for that as it made my life when I was having the worst years of my life bearable and I wish I could have told my brother how much he helped before he died. Far far to early

Private military school followed which taught me self control, discipline. Inner toughness, as well as how to strip clean and put back together a rifle and how to shoot.

Hated it hated being away from home so what did I do after school I went even further away from home for longer and loved every minute of it. Go figure.

Ah the college years the best two yrs of my life with out doubt made lots of friends very quickly. Had amazing friends. And had way to much fun studying things I was interested in and of course drinking lots and lots of drinking.

It was about this time that I traveled my father did not want me to be around the house when not working so he would send me packing.

I spent months going around America on my own I have visited Egypt Ethiopia Zimbabwe Kenya most of Europe and with a few exceptions the people have made it amazing. Now the two places I really want to is Japan and Russia. But Japan is my top choice.

Things sound like a lucky privileged life and in a lot of ways it was and is but things have to come to an end and so did the travels.

Il leave it there again seems like a good place to stop right before the mundane world of work but there to I have had a selection of varied jobs.

I’m also leaving it there as it’s Sunday which for me is a day off from work and my diet so I relax eat far to much normally a roast of some kind beer and pizza

So I hope you have a great day eat far to much and spend it with the people who make you smile
