About Me

I am a former manufacturing/fabrication worker and musician, who finally got "clean and sober" thirteen years ago after a car wreck with a traumatic brain injury cost me my work and "marriage". I still have to fight with epilepsy, short term memory loss, stamina, dexterity, and occasional depression: But I am still occasionally a "class clown" In some ways my accident was a blessing from God. It forced me to have to move back in with my parents for a couple of years, which gave me the running start I needed to get clean and finally succeed at staying that way. It put me on disability, but when they started closing down and shipping out the manufacturing jobs, I still had something coming in. And most important of all it forced me to face what I had done with my life, after accepting Jesus and being baptized when I was eight. I realized, I needed to stop running from him turn around, and run back to him. After facing that near death (according to my parents I was given a 10% chance of surviving the emergency brain surgery and a probable vegetative state if I did)(nyaah nyaah) as opposed to the prior overdoses, my parents and I are closer than ever before. Some how I almost forgot that two years after being called in as a veggie, I got my GED one point short of the honor roll. I can't stand it. Couldn't ya just cry? I guess God showed there's still a little corned beef in my cabbage head. To God be the Glory, Amen

Interests:
I enjoy classic rock,playing guitar, watching football and ACC basketball (Carolina Tar Heels/Panthers and Washington Redskins), and learning to use the computer. I am also interested in meeting new friends who share my faith in Jesus. If you're stopping by strictly looking for a man/online dating, try another site. For now I just want to be friends first

The OTHER SIDE of the STORY

You have heard it said that there are at least two sides to every story, and so it is true when it comes to the evil myth going around about the big bad wolf. First off we are really quite shy, and prefer to keep to ourselves. But somewhere the idea got started that we went around attacking sweet innocent people and/or little pigs. We do not hunt for fun or trophies to hang in our lairs. Only for food and in defense of the pack do we kill.

I know the stories about the three little pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood make them sound like they were innocent bystanders. But there is another side to what actually happened, and I would like to take this time to share OUR side of the story.

First allow me to address the little pigs, who were actually full grown hogs. We had come back to our den for a little rest time after killing some rodents to feed our defenseless pups. When we returned to feed them, we found that their mother was dead and the pups were gone. We, of course went out to look for them. When some of us returned to guard the meal, we found that the pigs had come in and taken it, so we went after them. You just don't mess with a wolf's food. Eventually, we had to kill them in order to get our food back. We didn't want to, but they wouldn't give it back!

Meanwhile, the other wolves followed the trail of the pups which led them to the family of "Miss Riding Hood". They had shot and killed the alpha female of the pack!! But before they died, they put us on the trail of Miss Hood, and told us she was taking them to give to her Grandma as pets. We are not pets! We are meant to be free! So that was a rescue operation. And they wouldn't give us back our pups. We had to kill them. Once again we didn't want to.

We would've preferred to have been left alone in both cases. And in both cases we were pushed into a corner. I ask you.  How many of you would sit there and let someone come in your home and steal your food, or your children, and do absolutely nothing?

I would still like to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR all the way through, filled with joy and the blessings of GOD

In between "Chores" for our BBQ & BLAST, I'm watching Gabriel Iglesias on YouTube... To soon to choose pick "The Best"... So far I've seen McDonald's Commercial, Kentucky Fired Chicken, Donuts & Cops... There appear to be about 60 Spots on YouTube, so I will be grinning for some time to come. Come on over for BBQ (pulled pork), Brunswick Stew (different since we have always done Hash & Rice), 'Tater Salad (the way I like it, i.e., no pickles or onions), Cowboy Beans, Cheese & Mac (note: Cheese comes first the way), Cole Slaw, and Texas Toast or Good 'ole White Bread-- not to mention your choice of drink-age from Ice Tea to Miller Lite (Grain maybe too much fun to handle, but I'm glad you 'puter likes it)... I thinking that if you hitch up your horses, you could make it over to the OK Garrison Corral by SunDown!

I wish I could. I love PORK Barbecue (the only good BBQ) with lotsa vinegar and Texas Pete 'n' yellow cole slaw. (made w/mustard) And cheesey Mac is good too. Beans; yes. I like that garlic Texas Toast. (I use it when I make my chili too.) or good ol' wheat bread. And I'll take lemony iced tea. (or rasberry tea) but no alkyhol, thank you very much. I like the pickles and onions in muh tater salad, thaink yew. It just ain't tater SALAD without it. Brunswick stew on the other hand, looks like something I see when I have the flu (or when I useta draink too much)

Just in case you (or any of our "Sneaky Sista's" are listening) this is the LINK:
