Welcome to In the Land of Shadows: Tales of My Crazy Life

Welcome!!!

I have led an unique and very crazy life in the few short years that I have been alive.

I can whole heartedly tell you that it is very true in regards to the saying of "Truth Is Stranger than Fiction". I believe that if you read my ramblings, you might also be inclined to agree in the end.

I am finally putting together here, because I have had many many people over the years tell me to write a book. To which my response has been: No it would be a waste of good paper and murder of trees that were turned into said paper, No one would buy it, No one would want to read about me. I'm a nobody. Now those who have persisted in saying that I really need to write this book. The one that they think I have in regards to my life, have changed their tune a bit. They are now saying that I need to write it for my children and their children. Maybe they are right.

This is going to be a bit hodgepodge for awhile. The reason is quite simple. I have told parts and chunks of my tale in other means. As in answers to questions to forum posts, school writing assignments, reminiscing with the few who where there or remember such things, etc. Instead of retelling it. I'm simply going to put those here.

I will admit to being a fan of the radio/TV show Dragnet. So in honor of that show I would like to quote the original opening line from that show.

"Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent."

I will make some subtle changes to this great opening. My changes are as follows. "Ladies and Gentlemen: the story your about to read is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the guilty and innocent, too."

What your about to read is true and accurate. There will be shared information that is going to be hard to comprehend by those who haven't experienced what I share about. There will be those who doubt and say it can't be possible. Well that's fine and dandy for you but this is about the shadows I lived in and live in. There are those who are going to be extremely angry because I shared this information. I am not being silent to the grave as they wish. I am kicking over the rocks and shining light into the shadows that they created and hide under and in. Because of this changes have been made. As you read above names have been changed to protect the guilty and innocent a like.

I am no writer. In fact I barely passed English class in both High School and Post Secondary School. So with this in mind....

Let the story begin.
