This contains short stories about me, a man who lived an interesting life, along with others I have grown to know through my journey. I have had a lot, yet slim to none also. I lived in low places, yet in prestigious ones as well. Wherever I laid my head was where I called home. There were grandiose times along with dismal ones, as you will read. I feel some may cry yet also laugh along the way. There were times when my actions were not acceptable in others' eyes, yet all are true to me. I left home at an early age, so few coping skills were taught or inherited; I made my own. I was lonely at times and, at others, the life of the party. I was embarrassed by my actions and embarrassed others through them. I take pride in my work and actions. I feel you will enjoy the stories that I have written and lived throughout my stay here on earth, if you choose to continue reading.

Thank you and sincerely yours,
