My name is Bob and I am here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan right now.
I don't feel smart enough to be included as a literary fan as I have not read one book in my life.
Ya see, reading has bored me since I was a kid. Everytime I picked up a book my mind would wander and I would daydream of something else. The only things I have read to some degree is The Holy Bible, Articles on Van Halen, and and books on acting.
I dropped out of high School at 17 (how stupid is that) to travel around the U.S. Over the course of 13 years I held 70 different menial jobs, and another 20 or so under the table gigs.
I have been broke in Chicago, New Haven, Little Rock, Ft Meyers, Key West, Charlston, Las Vegas, San Deigo, L.A., Bellingham, and the list goes on.
I have had enough experience for at least two lifetimes, and if I knew how to write It could get interesting.
I did however get my G.E.D. in 1988 before my original High School class graduated.
In those 13 unsettled years I was an alcoholic, drug user, thief, Hard worker, lover of women, very few, but hey it counts.
I was getting tired of blowing around in the wind, 13 years of it will change your attitude, so I moved to Michigan, met my wife, started going to school to do something that I really didn't want to do.....Airplane Mechanic. But I had to put myself in a position to make better than a menial wage.
Then I hurt my back so school and working were out.
My wife decided to go to school to get her BSN in nursing (she graduates in 08').
For the last 3 1/2 years I have been a rock doing the stay-at-home dad thing. I am the stepdad of 3, and my son is 4 years old.
My years before I was married have had reprecussions and I have not had a drivers liscence for years, it has to do with having breathalizers installed and sending away the results every month. It is to expesive for me since I live in the boonies and I'm in a catch 22 situation. I live 25 miles from town and cannot work since I would risk going to jail, and I cannot get my liscence since I don't make any money.
There are upsides to where I am in life though. I do not get drunk anymore and haven't used any type of drugs in 5 years, and I quit smoking.
The whole being stuck is wearing me down though.
I mentioned before that I never cared for reading, but I want to be a good reader and be able to get the full meaning of stuff.
Also I have been contemplating moving to Los Angeles to persue my acting need, now being older and knowing what to avoid I think I could make a dent in the entertainment field.
I would be content with Taking the bus, subway, Metro, and riding a bicycle around L.A., living in a modest apartment or room, taking an acting class and having a part-time job.
I need to do something. I was an extra in some movies in the 90's, Even though it is the bottom of the totum pole I never had more energy and enthusiasm, and was never happier than when I was on the set of a movie.
