It's been a long time, no see...I entered detox for my alcohol and homeless problem in Marathon, Florida on July 4th, 2017. I was broke, homeless and unemployed. I had nowhere else to turn to. It took me 3 days to get into the detox facility. I slept in front of the rehab facility for 3 days trying to get in. They claimed they had no beds. But I persisted, just for the mere fact that I had NOTHING LEFT, literally. I couldn't get a job because I was too fucked up for an interview, when I finally did get an interview for a job, I was wasted. I was fooling myself thinking that they wouldn't noticed. But I was living in the woods, on the side of U.S.1 in Marathon. Every waking moment, I had a drink in my hand. As soon as I woke up until I passed out somewhere.
Once I got into the detox facility, I stabilized and was starting to get my head back together. I needed to change. Last time I was there, I've been to that detox twice, I entered into the Salvation Army in Miami, Florida and graduated the 6 month program. Got a job, lost the job, relapsed, lost the job then back to rehab. This last time, I entered the Salvation Army in Miami, Florida once again. And once again, I went through the program, played drums for the church band and graduated. Long story short, after graduating I got a job as a shopper at Instacart, a grocery delivery service and I have been there since May of 2018. I have been clean and sober now since July 4th 2017. I rent a room at a halfway house with 10 other former drug addicts. Life is interesting and good.......
Actually it's even better than good as I have an opportunity to REALLY start making money online which I have been trying to do since January of 2010. I haven't had much success. I have made a couple bucks, here and there but nothing substantial or sustaining to make a difference in my life and quit my j.o.b......
I am not money hungry, my whole goal is to not have to worry about money anymore and to do what I want, when I want and where I want. I just want freedom to do whatever. Without working for somebody else and having to rely on them to support me financially. Money ISN'T everything, BUT it is a RESOURCE and a tool that will help me, help others. Which is truly what I want to do......
I believe I have found my golden opportunity to get exactly what I want. I stumbled across a money making venture that is a platform that was built by a SUCCESSFUL online marketer that has been doing it for over 15 years. He knows what works and more importantly, what DOESN'T. In life, you must learn from your mistakes and what doesn't work and then don't repeat it or it just turns into the old cliche of INSANITY..............
I personally hate selling anything to anybody and affiliate marketing is a PAIN IN THE ASS!! And most of them pay peanuts compared to the work you have to put in to make a little chump change. Well with this opportunity that is about to change. I have become a Founder, which positions me in the TOP 1% of the Company Forced Matrix. NOWWWW, before you get your panties in a bunch and say, "Oh, those matrices don't work" or "I've done or seen that before", or "I heard about that scam" or whatever. YOU are WRONG. Period........
This has NEVER BEEN SEEN OR DONE BEFORE in the HISTORY of the INTERNET. Sure, there are scammers out there or people that tell you that you can make 10,000 dollars in 10 minutes. I know because I have seen them before and I have tried some of them. They always have something missing or you have to buy something else or you have to promote your link etc.......
BELIEVE ME, I have seen just about everything in 8 years of trying to make money online. I am not scared to give out my email and see what it is all about. I HAVEN'T found ONE that has work that you didn't have to pay a monthly fee or upgrade for more money. I tried it for FREE (as they said) or I paid, tried it for 30 days and got my money back.....
I have 3 examples of my past experience with making money online programs;........
1) was called Earn Easy Commissions. The problem with this system is you have to pay for an email marketing provider either AWeber or Get Response at about 8 dollars a MONTH.
Then Chuck, the guy running the system will set up follow up emails on your behalf. Then you have to pay 100 dollars for the next level to get some other benefits I can't and don't want to remember and they want you to sign up for Click Magik a link tracking service which is 7 dollars or so a MONTH. Without explaining the whole process it has RECURRING MONTHLY FEES. They always tell you how much you can potentially get, which in essence could be true BUT they fail or whisper what you NEED to DO or PAY in order to keep the process moving forward..MINOR DETAILS,,BUT YOU COULD MAKE A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Yeah, and pigs might fly out of my butt......
2) GDI Elite: Claim they will place 6 members under you. What they don't tell you is: You have to get 1,000 Clicks to YOUR affiliate link a WEEK! BEFORE they think about placing anybody under you AND you have to pay 10 dollars a month for your GDI website.They NEVER placed anyone under me. I left after one month. The top people get paid while you spend money to promote your link which benefits THEM NOT YOU...............
3) x10 Platform: Claims you will receive automatic Bitcoin into your wallet DAILY after you pay 97 dollars for the entry level automated system. I didn't know what Bitcoin was when I started but I gave it a try and it worked!! Even though I was only getting .42 CENTS in Bitcoin a DAY, it was working. I even received 50% commissions if I referred somebody AND they paid me. I got paid 150 dollars for 3 referrals! So it paid for my initial investment of 97 dollars for the automated system plus some pocket change. But I noticed Bitcoin fluctuated liked the stocks in the stock market. And I came into the market in October when Bitcoin value was dropping like a rock. But I figured I'm set up I just need to ride it out. THEN, I stopped getting daily payments into my wallet even though they were only .12 cents here and maybe .42 cents there. They completely STOPPED on December 10th to be exact. They even had a Facebook Group where other "investors" would comment on their progress and that's when I really knew that this was a scam. Some people never got paid EVER...I feel sorry for them... I just don't understand why the system providers STOPPED. It WAS working, I guess they got greedy and ran with ALL the money, pathetic..All I can say is KARMA is A BITCH! and...I still have 80 dollars in my Bitcoin wallet.....................
So, I can see why and how people can't believe anything. Because there are scammers, and half truth tellers and all kinds of other nonsense bullshit all over the internet............
It's good and natural to be skeptical. BUT you also don't want to end up NOT BELIEVING in ANYTHING because there ARE systems that WORK. It's just hard to sift through the bullshit to see which ones DO work.
O.K. I'm tired...Here's what MY Business will do for you...

<span style="background-color: #f1c232;">Amazon Book Reviews:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #f1c232;">"I wasn't sure exactly what to expect with this one (wow, a lot of reviews start that way don't they?) but I was pleasantly surprised. K.D. worked at the famous Tower Records on Sunset Blvd, and this details some of his tribulations there. Not only do you get various stories about celebrities, who came into the store, but the fact K.D. was homeless and living in his van during this time period adds some personal drama to the story as well. It's not lengthy but it's well written and never gets boring. If you are a huge music fan or musician such as myself, or if you enjoy slice of life type stories, I think you should check this one out!"</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #f1c232;"> "I thoroughly enjoyed K.D. Sanders anecdotal account of the three years he spent working at Tower Records on the Sunset Strip in L.A. The author writes in an honest, relaxed and conversational style that reflects his carefree attitude and lifestyle."</span><br />

All I can say is, wow.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
“Where Did My Life Go? Homeless and Out of Business” is by far one of the most raw, powerful, and engaging reads that I’ve come across in a long, long time. Author K.D. Sanders offers readers a very personal and unaltered look into his life, thoughts, and feelings as he underwent some very rough times as a homeless man while experiencing that many of us will never even come close to in our ordinary lives. I say this and the book may seem quite gloomy at first, but I also would say there’s another side to it – I interpret the book as having a sort of theme about personal redemption and keeping headstrong even through all the bad things that life can throw at you. The author manages to keep his spirits high even while dealing with unfortunate circumstances and for that I admire his courage.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
As well as this, the text is written in a way that flows nicely due to a relatively relaxed undertone and there are plenty of general musings about the author’s opinion on homeless life in general that I found to be very thought-provoking (and even sobering at times). Overall, I enjoyed the read and I found it to be honestly quite refreshingly new compared to what I’ve been coming across these days. Definitely worth checking out.</div>

All you can do is prepare yourself. As far as the rain is concerned, I bought a 60" umbrella for 5 bucks at Home Depot, which I just recently got discovered behind by the cops and issued a trespassing warning, never to return.(why couldn't the record company find me as easily as when I was trying to make it in the music business, then I wouldn't be in predicament, anyway) I bought some Deep Woods Off. Mosquitoes, in check. I couldn't find the cop repellent though, 2 out of 3 ain't bad. Now for the cops. All I can say is that the Monroe County Sheriff's deputies are a lot cooler than the Key West Pathetic Department..I mean Police, oops.... Let me digress and say, I have moved on to better and greener pastures. In which, I will not divulge details, as I did with my last "secret" hiding spot as the cops found me by accident, through a jinx, I think? If I would of went deeper into the woods, they would have never found me. But because I was lazy and didn't want to go the distance, I fell short. I wasn't even sleeping at the time. I was sitting up listening to Neil Young when I saw the white flashlight coming towards me without anywhere to run. The police officer stopped exactly where I was and told me to move on. As I was leaving, the officer shouted, " Hey Sanders", I turned and he asked if I was the Statue Of Liberty. I replied, "No, but I play one on T.V."<br />
<br />
Speaking of which, I am currently working at Liberty Tax as the dancing fool, raising eyebrows on the street corner, dressed in a dress and crown, spinning around in two different towns. I am performing Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in Key West between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. and my hometown of Marathon, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I take the bus to Key West with a certified homeless discount of 2 bucks which takes an hour and a half to get to my destination, whereas, if I drove a car, it would only take an hour. But my license is suspended from some bullshit frivolous lawsuit filed by some asshole attorney in Ft. Lauderdale named Gary Kornfiled. (If you see him, shoot him and I'll pay YOU 5,000 dollars, instead of this full of bullshit frivolous asshole) when I got in a "fender bender" without an ambulance or injuries at the time.About five years later, I found out he filed a bodily injury lawsuit for 5,000 dollars and that he could suspend my license until I paid the judgement. Otherwise, I would buy a van and live in it, like I did in L.A. for 3 years when I worked at Tower Records on Sunset. Needless to say, I don't have 5,000 dollars, which I think the bill is up to 10,000 dollars now with interest. So I let my feet do the walking and keep on dancing. Hurry though, the party ends April 15th!!! Don't forget to pay your taxes!!! I have since gotten job offers for other sign waving jobs in Marathon.One possibility is a sign waving shark at Aquarium Encounters. Which goes to show, at least to me that, I don't care if you're slinging shit for a living, sling the shit the best way you can and become the best shit slinger the world has ever seen and then maybe you might move on to bigger and better things. Don't half ass things in a lazy way. You only get in life what you put into it. Do your best and fuck the rest. You only have ONE life to live without a second chance!!!<br />
<br />
A little about what I observe while spinning around drawing attention for the business, which BTW, I HATE drawing attention. I like to go unnoticed.Which is a weird dichotomy to my unchosen profession. I don't like people staring at me. But they do in my shocking Statue Of Liberty suit. Which I think is no big deal but to other people, I see a different reaction. Some people smile and wave or even laugh, which I think is great. And then there are other people, especially in Key West, that have have a scowl on their face shaking their head, which I don't understand that they don't understand. I had one guy ask me with a disgust question, "Man, how much do they pay you to do that?" I said. "Too much!" I have never seen so many miserable people living in "paradise". It's unbelievable!! I don't get, that they don't get it. They probably have a roof over their head and obviously have a car or are using somebody else's car and here I am trying to work, living in the streets, trying to keep away from the cops, rain and mosquitoes, happy as I can be. I know you can't buy happiness but damn it, be thankful for what you have!! It could be worse but it seems their narrow minds only see a fool, dressed up in a Statue Of Liberty suit, dancing around like a clown, and they look like, from my point of view, that they want to pull their hair out. I don't need much. I am happy with my iPad, my music and bus pass. Like I have heard in the past. I rather be poor and happy than rich and sad. Now with that said, that doesn't mean everybody who has money is sad. There's ALWAYS an asshole in every class of society. Be it a homeless bum or a bazillionaire. Doesn't matter. All I know for sure is, personally speaking, music saves my life everyday. Without music, you might as well shoot me in the head and get it over with. Speaking of which, I need to end my timed session at the library and go to work. I had to use the public computers to write this little story because my iPad has a cracked screen after I did a spin as the Statue of Liberty and it flew out of my side holster. Thank God it still plays MUSIC. It's going to cost me 150 dollars to fix but worth every penny. Anyway, to da loo, skip to my lou, I have more work to do. And another thing, as Nicko McBrain would say,(For you idiots, Mr. McBrain is the bad ass drummer for Iron Maiden).......remember kids,....Don't worry about what I'm doing, worry about what the fuck YOU are doing!!! { :)-------------------------------------------------------------------------Gene Simmons<br />

<div>
Long time no see. I am currently dancing in the streets as the Statue Of Liberty in the number one dance, drama T.V. show in the cities of Marathon and Key West. I used to live at Tracy's Pet Service in Marathon until the rent and drama went up. Now I am back in the woods, streets, mangroves, whatever the hell you wish to call it. Funny enough, my new home is next to the Home Depot inbetween the American Legion, a place I practically grew up in as a kid. I really don't mind sleeping outside. There are only 3 things I wish would go away. Cops, mosquitoes and rain. It's a bitch to wake up at 3 o'clock in the morning with a sudden downpour of rain, even though I probably do need a shower, it sucks waking up to raindrops. But I have come prepared. I bought a 5 dollar 60" umbrella that I purchased at, guess where?, at HOME DEPOT!!! Who says I don't pay taxes? The cops have yet to approach me at my unhumble abode without a roof, T.G., that means thank God, for you ignorant M.F's, which means MotherFuckers. Damn, do I have to spell everything out as I try to write short hand! I'm trying to save time and keystrokes. But like I always say, life is simple, people make it difficult, anywho, where was I?....Oh yeah, explaining life sleeping outside, the relentless mosquitoes are, well, relentless and determined to suck your blood like Dracula. No matter what time of day of night but especially after the rain that just woke you up and now you can't go back to sleep. Now you, M.F's (see above for definition) know why I drink. I was sleeping at the public defenders' office in Key West for about 6 months without interaction with cops until the other night when a nice lady cop ran my I.D. and took my picture and told me to leave. So that secret spot is secret no more. She said she patrols it 3 or 4 times a night. So now I am currently working as the Statue of Liberty in Key West because my fellow co-worker in the same crown and gown as for his paycheck early and my nice boss gave it him with a warning. If he went up to Marathon and didn't show up the next day, he would be fired. Apparently, not heeding the warning, he did just that and subsequently was fired the next day. So my boss wanted me to fill in Key West for 2 weeks until he found somebody else. So I have to commute an hour and a half on the bus from Marathon to Key West. Which is fine with me, I love traveling, although I rather see a different road. I get a discount on the 4 dollar fare to 2 dollars because I am homeless, uh, residentially challenged, to speak politically correct but I don't follow politics. It's actually not as bad as one would perceive. As long as you can escape the above mentioned nuisances....O.K., I am tired of typing on my only day off. Of course, I have much more to say and explain but I just don't have the time today....until then enjoy my latest thoughts put into a poem, I call lyrics to a song....P.S. Thank you Lord for all the blessings you have given me and to the music that keeps me alive everyday...I Love You...until my dying day!!! XO</div>

<span style="color: white;">I love my brother</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From a different father</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But we share</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The same mother</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Who left too soon</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From pancreatic cancer</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Ironically,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"> He is a cancer doctor today</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That took years</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I couldn't believe</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He was still in his</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Residency </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">After the day I </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Graduated high school</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He believed </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In all my dreams</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Opened minded</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Accepted the thought</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I wanted to be a rockstar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He supported me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">More times than once</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Gave me a chance</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To see California</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When I didn't have</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">A dime to pay</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To realize my dream</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Every Time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I wanted to</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Go for the impossible dream</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He did his homework </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">And became</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">A Professor of oncology </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I look up to him</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Almost more than God</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">As I sleep in the streets alone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">If you don't know now</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I am the black sheep</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of the family</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But brother still keeps</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">A special place </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In my heart</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Like our mother</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Told me once </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I love him</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">More than life</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Itself</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Said goodbye</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Many more times</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Once before</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I pray for my friends</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">And family</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I can never see again</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Until I reach </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The heavens above</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Thank you Lord </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For the words</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I could never make up</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Without you</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Reflecting on past mistakes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I should of stayed in school</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But my stubborn head</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Thought I had a chance</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To make it</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I tried </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">With my brother</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">By my side</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The only family member</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I have left</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">If he goes away</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Before I say goodbye</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That would be</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The end of my life</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Die by the gun</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just like</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">My father done</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Never to return</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">A promise</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Never to break</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Silence me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Underneath the grave</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Unfortunately </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">We all die one day</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I say</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">And dream </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For a family reunion</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">One day </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Don't mine me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just writing a song</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">At a bus stop </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That won't stop</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The only shelter I got</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When it rains </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I think better</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">On the toilet</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">At McDonald's</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Until they catch me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">So known</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They call me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The hamburg alar</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">On the phone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Without an answer</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Thank the Lord</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They have</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">3 more hours</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Before they close</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Have a chance </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To find the mind</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of crazy Larry</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Let loose from</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The jailhouse</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">A couple a days</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Ago</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">It's a mystery</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">You never know</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">What you might find</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Your guess</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Is as good</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">As mine</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I live alone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In the woods</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Call me up</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Sometime </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I answer my phone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Every once in awhile</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They will only keep me down</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For a little bit</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Then I will rise</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Above</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To see another sunrise</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">And move on</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To a better life</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They cannot predict</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The future I hold</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In my hands</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They can say</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">What they may</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But I will prove them wrong</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To their dismay</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They wrote me off</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But I am still writing</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">My book</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">So they can see</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Where my life went</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The story already</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Written in stone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Yet to be told</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But in time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They will know</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The tough road</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I went down</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But God gave me the strength</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To move on</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Most</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Couldn't handle</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Not to toot</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">My own horn</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But this is</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The life I live</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Take it or</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Leave it</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I never will</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Until</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The day I die</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I have to live</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The life my parents</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Gave me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Take it as a gift</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Before I am on my way</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To Heaven</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Have to go through Hell</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Before you reach </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The promise land</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Filled with broken dreams</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Wake up to nightmares</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To see</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The reason</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Why you are here</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">There is a meaning</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For taking space</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Still searching </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But I believe</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I will find out soon</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When the time is right</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Not a minute before</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Give it to</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The hands of God</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He is the one</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To give</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">And take away</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just a test</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To see</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">If you can pass</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Without pity</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">All you have to do</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Is try</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Your best</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He will fill</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In the blanks</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">And do</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The rest</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Hang on</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Without a noose</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Around your neck</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He will take you</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When He's ready</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Only He knows</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When the time is right</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Not in control </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">You never know</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Faith and belief</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In Him</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Is all you need</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In this world</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I don't need to go </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To church</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To hear His word</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">O.K </span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I live in the woods</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That's alright</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">It's just</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The cops, rain and the mosquitoes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That bug me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In the middle</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of a good nights' sleep</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That wake me up</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From a dream</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I thought I had</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To keep</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Looking for a break</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In the middle</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of the road</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To make it through</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The other side </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To see my escape</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just trying</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To make it to a better day</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Than the one before</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Forget the nightmares</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That haunt me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Every waking moment</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Run away</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">As quickly</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">As possible</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Before they</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Catch the dream</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I thought</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I had</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In the grasp</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of my hand</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Run as fast as I can</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Rampant</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The other people</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That don't believe</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Scare me away</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">My belief </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That I know is true</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Never let go</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Until they</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Take me away</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Put me under 6 feet</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In the grave</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Kicking until</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">My dying day</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I know you</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Only live once</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Without a consideration</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of reincarnation</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Seems</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Far fetched</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Comeback</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">As a female</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Bicycle seat</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Or a bird</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">With wings</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Jumping</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Up and down</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">On a trampoline</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Without gasoline</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Don't worry about me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">You have your life to live</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Your own problems</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To deal with</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I only have solutions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That fall upon</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Deaf ears</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Never to be discovered</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They can't handle</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The truth</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Uncovered</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But what do I know</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They already</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Know it all</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just a waste </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of breath and time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Sit alone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Alright</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">By myself</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But I do</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Still believe</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In a God</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Above </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Always by my side</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">One chance</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Is all you have</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To live</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">At least</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That's what</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They tell me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I've seen</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">First hand</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Proof of it</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Can't tell me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Different</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just another human</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Being</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Living on the streets </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Protected</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">By my way</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of thinking</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just another animal</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Living in the concrete jungle</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But I already</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Thought about</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The baffling </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Thought process</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Still with questions</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I can't answer</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I never said</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I was a know it all</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Sometimes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I do</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But the fact remains</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">It's not the truth</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Can't relate</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To the people</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Who can't dance</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">With fancy shoes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They seem so sure</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But it just seems</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They just sit</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Spinning their wheels</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Have to go through</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The bullshit</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Sift through</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The assholes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To get to</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The truth</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Sure it's a hard road</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But worth every minute</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">At the end of the line</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">If I didn't have those</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Special moments</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I would be</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Taking up space</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just like them</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">A place</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I don't think I</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">want to be</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They think</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The grass is always</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Greener</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">On the other side</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Of somebody else's</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Backyard</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But they haven't seen</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">My front porch</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In the daylight</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Observe</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The magic moments</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I wish I could</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Explain</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Insight from Crazy Larry</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Who lost his family</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In a tragedy</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The only good thing is</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He now qualifies</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For Medicaid</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">With special attention</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Benefits</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Just waiting to die</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To live a happier life</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Remembering</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The good times </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That they can't</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Take away</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Hanging on a thread</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">With what little</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Dignity</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">There is left</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To salvage</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From the scrap yard</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Throw down</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For a fight</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Been beaten down</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For the last time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">No more shit</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To be taken</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Heard it all before</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From here to</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Timbuktu </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Give me another line</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To write down </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When I win the academy award</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I would like to thank</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">All the assholes</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In my way</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To carry on</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To fight until</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">My last breath</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I couldn't do it</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Without them</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Must have friction</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To start a fire</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To go down</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In a blaze of glory</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Boy God</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Do I have a story</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To tell you</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When I get</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To where I'm going</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I know you</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Already know</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But it will be better</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">If I tell you in person</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I'll be here</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Writing a song</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When you're ready to take me</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">But can you wait until</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I write a worldwide hit</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">So I can live</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The rest of my life </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">In peace</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">P.S.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Love you too</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">See you soon</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Your favorite son</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Who will rise to the top</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To show the reason</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I was put on Earth</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Never to return</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">For the last time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They don't know what they got</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Until I'm gone</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They will wish</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">They could kiss</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">What they no longer have</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Maybe they will listen</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Next time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">That will never happen</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Again</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Never take for granted</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The gift </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">You have been given</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From the Lord above</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Time to go</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To give back</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To the living</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Can't take</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The material things</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When you leave this world</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Give it to somebody else</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Who has nothing</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Not even a pot</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To piss in </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Or a without window</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">To throw it out of</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">I hope</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">One day</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">You see</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">The true meaning of life</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Before you die</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">And go away forever</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Never to return</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Take it as a message</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">From God</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Your maker and taker</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">When it is</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Your time</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">He is the only one</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Who decides</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: white;">Good morning, good afternoon and goodnight. Remember, God told me to tell you this, have a great time in life, no matter the cost or price.</span></div>

I know I won't have a white Christmas in the Florida Keys, never had and hopefully never will. What I heard on the news this morning though is that south Florida might have a wet Christmas. I am having a 99 cent Christmas Event on the Internet, selling my recently published short story "book" for, you guessed it, 99 Cents from Christmas Day starting at 12:25 a.m. until 12:31 p.m. New Year's Eve. Then the price rises to the normally set, whopping price of 2.99. It's FREE, if people subscribe to Kindle Unlimited and I still get a royalty of 35% if the reader reads at least 10% of my 15 page short story entitled "A Towering Experience" until the end of my exclusive contract with Amazon.com which ends somewhere around February 24th, 2015, in which, I can opt-out of my binding agreement and sell the eBook anywhere I want on the Internet. My future holds the following goals:<br><br>1) I plan on writing more short stories (I have a short attention span, as I think some readers do also) The future stories will be based on initially leaving my hometown of Marathon moving in with my brother in San Francisco, playing drums in various bands in the Bay Area to interning for Bill Graham Presents and becoming a road manager, touring with a band in the United States and Canada for 6 months to working for FedEx and United Airlines to moving to Hollywood, California with one of the bands I played drums in to working at Tower Records on the Sunset Strip (See "A Towering Experience" for that story) to moving back to my hometown to start over again, working for a taxi company that went out of business to moving back to San Francisco and getting my CALIFORNIA Commercial license and almost becoming a long haul semi truck driver to moving in with a childhood friend in Miserable, I mean, Mesa, Arizona to moving back to Key West to becoming homeless again and starting from scratch, again to writing lyrics to a song called "Alcohol Call" under the band name I made up in a drunken stupor called, Fall Down Daddy, which the music was recorded by studio musicians found on the Internet and distributed on iTunes, Amazon and 750 other online retailers (Buyer Beware: I don't recommend buying it unless you like decent lyrics put to shitty country music, the only good thing about the song is, if you purchase the song 50% of the proceeds go to the charity Sweet Relief for struggling musicians if you consume the tune on <a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/FallDownDaddy" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: none;">www.reverbnation.com/<wbr>FallDownDaddy</a> ) to getting a job as a sign waver for Liberty Tax, dressing up in a Statue of Liberty costume to bring in customers off the streets of Key West and getting written up by a writer from the Key West Citizen (Side note: I just got a call from my boss from Liberty Tax yesterday and I will be doing it again in January of 2015, my 4th year in a row with the tax season job from January to April 15th. I will be stationed in front of the post office in Marathon) to moving in "temporary" with another childhood friend, sleeping on the floor of her dog grooming business, paying her 100 every two weeks with my unemployment check I receive for 204 dollars to writing my first short story, you should of heard about before"A Towering Experience" which, FINALLY,....brings me to my future plans of my book series called "Where Did My Life Go?"<br><br>2) Whew!....O.K. Let me catch my breath...O.K. Are you ready for my plan to take over the world by storm, one short story at a time....Drumroll, please.....I, Kevin Dale Sanders, pen name K.D. Sanders, plan to bind all of the above mentioned eBook only short stories into a actually REAL book entitled: "Where Did My Life Go?" with BONUS stories that I forgot to mention in the eBook series, distribute it Worldwide to every book store outlet. NOT AVAILABLE ONLINE ANYWHERE! You will only be able to get it in brick and mortar BOOK STORES. Then I will begin a book signing world tour to meet and greet my fans personally.<br><br>3) Make interview appearances in makeup, concealing my physical facial appearance (I'm not here to become famous, I am doing this so other people can hear my story) to MAJOR T.V. Programs such as Oprah, Ellen De Generous, Entertainment Tonight, Late night talk shows and any other show that will have me. (A dream of mine is to get Larry King to come out of retirement and do a special edition of Larry King Live)<br><br>4) A portion of my book sale proceeds will go to a charity, housing homeless people in the Florida Keys. I will purchase a modest house in my hometown of Marathon. The headline in the local newspaper, Keynoter will read: "Homeless to Homeowner"<br><br>5) I will then live in paradise comfortably, happily ever after. End Of Story.<br><br>These are my hopes and dreams and I hope you realize if you don't reach for the sky, you will never touch the Moon until you pass it on your way to Heaven for your family reunion. Try while you are here on Earth. God's life gift to you is for you to learn and spread Love in the world you live in. No matter what obstacles you may face. He has given you strength to overcome with your Faith. Then when your work is done, God will call you home to Rest in Peace. Heaven will always be there. It's what you do on Earth that makes a difference. That is what I plan to do or I will die trying. That is my belief and my story...See you when I see you. God Bless. Happy Birthday Jesus.

Party<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> When I was five and I heard the Kiss Alive! album (yeah, that's what they called them, back then, before your time) for the first time. I had thoughts of becoming a rock star. I first heard that album on a honeymoon with my mother who just got married to my newly found step father and they went to Georgia to visit an old friend. One of the adopted sons of the friend played me the record and I fell in love with the music and the pictures. I was fascinated! I was a Kiss fan instantly. Eventually, I would have my Mom buy me 8-track tapes of the band. Not knowing the albums I had, I would pick the tapes by the cover that I didn't have. I used put on "shows" for the neighborhood kids. Lip syncing the words and playing air drums. The older kids would get off the bus after school and give me a Dixie cup of water with red food coloring. I would put it in my mouth and spit "blood" like Gene Simmons. I never saw KISS live at that point, I only saw pictures which I got from a dumpster of a magazine distribution company that we lived across the street from on 107th. They were out of date issues that didn't sell, they would cut them in half and throw them in the garbage. I would dumpster "dive" and get the old magazines that had pictures of Kiss and plaster my bedroom window with pictures.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I didn't know I could actually play drums until one day when I was 12, waiting for my parents to take me home from the American Legion. They would have a few drinks there after work as I sipped on a Shirley Temple and ate some chips. I would go outside to "play" and smoke cigarettes. One day, I found a 5 gallon bucket in the back of the Legion and while listening to my cassette Walkman, found some tree limbs and started to play along to the music I was listening to. Which my first memory was Journeys', Departure album. Homemade Love was my favorite song at the time. Then I went on to Iron Maiden and Ozzy. I didn't know I had a gift of playing drums without a lesson, until then. That sparked my dream of becoming a rock 'n roll drummer.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I barely graduated Marathon High School. While I was there, I actually became a cadet/ explorer for the local Sheriff's Department in my senior year. Riding with actual deputies and doing dispatching duties. I became Sergeant and passed the dispatch police code test with a 100%. I was riding with a officer one day, actually, the officer that was running and in charge of the cadet program. We went to a call at a local bar that a man inside had a gun. She handed me the shotgun and told me to wait in the car and to point the gun at the door of the bar as she went into the bar. I was thinking,"What if the guy comes out with a gun with her hostage, what in the hell am I going to do?" Shoot him between the eyes? That scared the shit out of me and I chose another career path, not to mention after that, I had gotten arrested for covering up a friend. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>My friend and I met a couple of girls in town from Ft. Lauderdale, we invited them to a party at my friends' house and they showed up. We played "quarters" with shots of Vodka. I lost or won, depending on how you want to look at it. I got totally fucked up!! I was so fucked up, I couldn't even walk or talk, let alone drive. So my friend took my car to take the girls home which was just down Sombrero road, maybe a mile away. I woke up the next morning with a hellacious hangover. I went outside to get something from my car and it is nowhere to be found. I come back into the apartment and ask,"Where in the hell is my car?" My friend told me to calm down and to have a seat. He explained that he and my other friend drove the girls home and AFTER he dropped them off at their house, he went around the corner and hit a telephone pole. Nobody was hurt but the car was stuck on the stump of the pole he just took down. The car was running and they couldn't shut it off or get it off the stump. So they ran home. He was scared and said his parents would kill him if they found out the truth of what really happened. So he asked me to report that my car was stolen. Hungover and reluctantly, I called the cops and told them my car had just been stolen. Stolen cars are a very rare occasion that happens in the Keys. The cops knew something wasn't right. They questioned me about the incident and I signed a sworn police report. The Florida Highway Patrol questioned me a couple of days later, to make sure I was telling the truth and told me lying on a police report was an arrest-able offense. I stuck to my guns and story to protect my friend until the cops told me I would be responsible for the 1500 dollar telephone pole. Then I changed my tune. I was working at a hotel at the time and couldn't stand the guilt of lying, let alone paying for a telephone pole bill that I had nothing to do with. I called the Sheriff's Department and told them I lied on the police report. I tried to cover up a friend so he wouldn't get in trouble. The current Sheriff, who was a deputy at the time, came to the hotel and arrested me and put me in the holding cell. I told them to go get my "friend", he works at such and such. 10 minutes later he was in the holding cell with me. Some of the cops at the station said, "They're going to fight, don't put them together!" One said, "Let them". We never did. I had a hard enough of a time dealing with my step dad, when he came to pick me up at the police station. I caught hell for that!! My step father was friends with a local attorney and had my arrest record expunged.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>After high school, I didn't know what I wanted to do except become a rock star drummer. I was in awe of the rock star lifestyle of bands like Motley Crüe and Guns n' Roses. I played drums with some friends at local open mic jams. I moved out of the trailer that I grew up in and rented a place with a couple of friends on 107th Street in Marathon, across the street from the duplex I used to live in with my parents when I was just 10 years old. It was a rock n roll party house. I had a shitty 3 piece drum kit. My friends and I formed a band called, Keys Disease. We actually recorded a 2 song demo that went nowhere. We were young and dumb, dreamers. We were wanna be rock stars between the ages of 16 and 18. I think I was the oldest, come to think of it. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I was working at a pizza restaurant and met a hot looking girl who just started working there. I fell madly in love at first sight just by looking into her beautiful blue eyes! It just so happened she had an apartment with her Mom right next door to our apartment. I had a 79 Camaro Berlinetta at the time and would offer her a ride after work. We soon got to know each other better and formed a friendship. I think she liked me but not like I liked her. We would play cards at her place and she would come over to our drunken, debauchery parties. Everybody was trying to impress her because she was so beautiful! One night after work at the pizza joint, the manager locked the doors and I backed my car up to the backdoor. I had a pretty kick ass stereo that had detachable speakers. I directed the speakers into the restaurant and put a cassette tape in and we jammed out inside the restaurant. We were drinking and dancing on tables after hours. It was fun, and nobody got caught or hurt!</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>In 1989, one of our guitar players graduated High school and he wanted to move up to Ft. Lauderdale to play in a band because there were more opportunities as opposed to the cover band world of the Florida Keys. Which was true. I wanted to make the trek all the way to the Sunset Strip just like so many of my idols did. But because of money and commitment of the other members, we settled on Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Both the guitar player and I worked for the pizza restaurant chain and thought that it would be easier to transfer up to Ft. Liquordale, than find another job. We would already have jobs by the time we got there. The next step was to find a place to rent and live in. We found a apartment complex that offered a 2 bedroom apartment where the first month rent was free. We jumped on that opportunity. I had a drum set and he had a guitar and amp. The bass player was going to move to Ft. Lauderdale a couple weeks later. So we worked at the pizza place and partied at night. The cool thing about the pizza place was that it had draught beer on tap! I would always come home with at least a 32 oz plastic cup filled to the top with beer. So we worked, we partied, we dreamed and talked about how we were going to make it as big rock stars. What we didn't do is, practice, write songs, record a demo, play gigs. You know, things bands have to do in order to make it! In fact, we didn't even pay rent and after 3 months, we were subsequently evicted!</div><div><br></div><div> I was distraught without direction. We were starving and had nothing to show for the struggle. I remember dividing up French fries from McDonald's and we never even played a note together during that 3 month plus period. I had a decision to make, either go back to the Keys with my tail between my legs or call my brother for some words of wisdom. Defiant from defeat, I called my brother who lived in San Francisco and explained my situation. One of the many things I love about my brother is that he has always supported me in what ever crazy dream I had. He has always said that he just wants me to be happy. Luckily enough for me, my brother offered to buy me a plane ticket to San Francisco and stay with him until I could get back on my feet. I was on the next plane to the Golden State.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I hadn't spent much time with my brother up until that point. When I was a teenager in high school, he was already attending college at the University of Miami to become a doctor. I would sometimes see him on holidays like, Christmas or Thanksgiving when he came to visit my Mom and I in the Keys along with my step father. After graduating UM, he continued medical school at Stanford University and became an oncologist. Ironically, our mother passed away from pancreatic cancer in 1985 when I was fifteen. When I graduated High school, my brother flew me out to San Francisco for my graduation present which was a 7 day camping trip to various National parks. We drove my brothers' car sharing driving duties and saw most of the National parks on the West Coast including Yellowstone, Yosemite and the Grand Canyon. One night at dinner, my brother said he had something to tell me. I didn't know what to expect. But the seriousness of his tone and demeanor gave me a lump in my throat. After, what seemed like an hour, he said, "I'm gay." I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. I didn't care if he was gay. I just said, "O.K." Later in my sheltered, narrow minded upbringing, I began to conjure up thoughts of what if. I didn't know much about what being gay was or gay people in general. I knew that it meant he liked guys as opposed to girls but other than that I had no clue. Then I started thinking that, my own brother, with whom I am sharing and sleeping in the same room with, might come and molest me in the middle of the night! I guess the only reason I would think that is because that happened to me when I was about 6 years old, not by my brother but, by one of my step fathers' friends in a hotel room. I will spare you the details.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>So I get off the plane and I am happy to see and am greeted by my brother. He drives us to his house which is a beautiful 2 story Victorian. We go in and I meet my brothers' live in lover. He seems nice and cordial. My brother shows me my own bedroom. I was jet lagged and went to bed, before I fell asleep, I conjured up the crazy, what if again. What if my brothers' lover comes in my room in the middle of the night. I didn't know him from Adam. As time passed and I lived with them the feeling subsided and I felt comfortable again. I was in a pretty big city, something I had never experienced before except for driving to and through Miami to go see a concert. I learned the public transit system. San Francisco has one of the greatest public transportation systems in the world. I learned where MUNI and BART went along with the surface busses.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>My job was to look for a job. I signed up with a temporary employment agency. They help you find work even if it's only temporary. I got an assignment from the agency with a law firm. I would be a in-house walking messenger for the firm. It was an indefinite job without a end date. After 3 months, the law firm would have to hire me or let me go, fortunately the law firm hired me with benefits. My next step was to find an apartment. I found a studio just 3 blocks from my new job that I could afford. It was uphill going home and downhill going to work. It was located at Bush and Powell Streets. It was a 5 story building complex. My studio was on the bottom floor with a view of where everybody threw their garbage down the chute. It was like a dungeon. But I had my own apartment. I loved my new job and the fact that I didn't have to cut my hair, I just had to wear it in a ponytail. It wasn't that long, maybe down to my shoulders. I had to wear a tie and dress clothes but that didn't bother me. I was working for the 5th largest law firm in the United States. They represented big companies like Chevron and Disney. The job was easy. The company had 3 buildings within a block of each other with multiple floors in each. My job was to take an envelope and deliver it to someone else in the firm who was at a different location or in a different building. Sometimes there were boxes. They would give me a free bus pass every month that would get me anywhere in San Francisco. I would sometimes get on the bus and deliver a package. One day while working, I got on the bus to deliver a package. A hyped up, R U smoking crack, black guy on the bus asked me what instrument I played. Taken aback, I said the drums. He said really!? My band is looking for a drummer. Do you play with anyone? I said, "No" He said, why don't you come down to my bands' rehearsal place and jam with us. He gave me his phone number and told me to call him. I hesitated. I was nervous about my abilities. I didn't make the call. I was wondering if I should. Then one day I see the same hyped up-smoking crack, black dude, "Hey, man, why haven't you called me, man, we really need a drummer!!" I told him, "Oh man, I forgot to tell you, I don't have a drum set!" He says, "That's cool, man. We got one at the studio." I continued the excuses,"I didn't call you cause I lost your number." Tim continues,"That's cool. Hey we're getting ready to practice. The studio is only a couple blocks away. Come on let's jam!" So feeling pressured to play, I followed him to his studio where I met the rest of the band and various people who just lived there. It looked like a 60's heyday hippie party with a drum kit with cymbals, already set up! We jammed and they liked me. But I wasn't sure if I liked them or their musical taste. They were big on the jamming bands like the Grateful Dead and techno savvy studio musician bands like Steely Dan. I WAS INTO MOTHERFUCKIN GUNS N' ROSES and Motley Crüe too. We had some common musical taste (that you didn't want to spit out) like they </div><div>Iiked Led Zeppelin and ...um.....uh....I think ..?makes sense....not much of a stretch ...the....BLACK CROWES!!</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tim, the crazy ass black man on crack (I was talkin' to yous about, yeah, yous!) seemed to be the leader of the band and apparently used to work in L.A. and had all these connections if he could just find the right band, he could get us a label deal AND opening up for GUNS N' MOTHERFUCKIN' ROSES!!! .....Yous guessed it...no really...the black crowes. REALLY FOR REALLY!!!! I don't know what possessed me to talk in an Italian accent...YOUS made MES do it!! O.K. Enough with the shenanigans ...I have to focus on the project at hand.</div><div><br></div><div> Tim was very animated like a cartoon character like a black Sunday preacher. He said he could get us a record deal if we had a great recording and he had all these connections. So we went into the studio and recorded 8 songs. It was the first time I've ever been into a "real" recording studio. After the recording was done, everybody said I sounded like a drum machine which I didn't know to take that as a compliment or backhanded slap. I thought the recording sounded like a drum machine because they killed the natural drum sound of my drums. The bands' name was Wind Gypsy. There were two brothers, Dave and Don Allen, lead singer and guitar player and a bass player named George. Tim played a synthesizer guitar. I was with the band for about a year and during that time I think we played one college party gig. We had a demo but we didn't promote it, shop it or any of that. Turns out Tim had a cocaine problem and in the end, the band just disappeared. The band morphed into another band called Balzamoth, we were trying to find a name that nobody else had, so we just came up with these crazy names and decided to go with Balzamoth which I think was actually my suggestion, moth balls, balls of moth. Balzamoth was the original members of Wind Gypsy minus Timothy. We recorded a 4 song demo at our rehearsal space with some guy who had mobile recording equipment. We never shopped the demo, we played one gig at some North Beach club in San Francisco where on the first song I broke the snare drum head and had to borrow the headlining bands' snare drum to continue the show. We practiced a lot and jammed but we never played any gigs. The loft where the band lived and practiced was pretty cool, they had a refrigerator with a tap on the outside of it and they used to get kegs of beer and put it in the refrigerator and pour from the tap that was outside of the refrigerator. There was one dude that lived there but wasn't in the band. He was a hippie looking dude, pot dealer. I didn't live at the loft, I still had my studio apartment on Nob Hill. One day I was going to the rehearsal place and as I was walking down eighth street, I noticed a walkie-talkie in the passenger seat of a parked car which I thought was odd. The loft was on the second floor and someone had to throw the keys down to you for you to unlock the door from the bottom. When I opened up the door, five guys with guns drawn and badges surrounded me and escorted me upstairs. The guys with guns ordered everybody on the floor facedown. I didn't know if we were being robbed or what was going on! We sure as hell didn't have any money, we were a struggling band eating Ramen noodles. The men sat us up and declared they were the FBI. They took photos of everybody and told us that we were under suspicion of being a warehouse for manufacturing L.S.D. All we did was smoke weed and drink beer and I didn't even smoke weed at the time, I just drank legal beer. Apparently the FBI had been scoping us out across the street and found enough evidence for the search warrant. But all they found was marijuana.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>The band ended up fizzling out. I continued to work for the law firm as a messenger. I met another black dude on the street. We started talking and I found out he was a guitar player in a reggae band called Don Jeron and the Boogiemon and they were looking for a drummer. I agreed to go check it out. I wasn't sure of my ability to play reggae but I gave it a shot. They already had a 4 song demo recorded that they gave me to learn some of the songs. They had a gig coming up soon opening up for Judy Mowatt who was one of the 3 female singers in Bob Marleys' group. The gig was in 2 weeks so I had to learn the songs quickly. On the night of the gig which was at the I-Beam in San Francisco on Haight Street, I was nervous and wondered if I could pull it off. I was the only white boy in the band and I think the only one at the venue. I stood out like a light bulb. The gig went well without a hitch. Actually, one of the founding members screwed up in one of the songs but it wasn't a train wreck, a minor hiccup. I think I was paid 50 bucks and never heard from the band again.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I had been working at the law firm for over a year and a half. I attended numerous office holiday parties. The parties were ritzy with top of the line food and drink. I met a secretary while working there and we became fast friends. She was a model from New York. Her "stage" name was Liz Austin. I was attracted to her and apparently, she was attracted to me. She invited me over to her place for dinner one night. After dinner we watched some T.V., I got to second base and while reaching for third, she stopped me and said she was starting to have feelings for me which didn't make sense to me but I respected her decision to stop and I went home. The next weekend she invited me over to her place again. I knocked on the door, she answered and by the time I got through the doorway, she practically had me naked. We took a shower together and made love the rest of the evening. I spent the night and in the morning she cooked breakfast. I couldn't believe that this beautiful woman was attracted to me. She told me a story about how the former lead guitar player for the band Heart, Roger Fisher, was in love with her and wanted to go out with her so badly but nothing ever happened. We weren't boyfriend and girlfriend, we were pretty much, fuck buddies, friends with benefits. We didn't hang out with each other everyday. Whenever she felt the need to have sex or I was horny, we would call one another and set up a time to meet up. I loved that arrangement.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I had a co worker who was also a messenger, who became one of my closest friends, who happened to be black. He was a real skinny black dude named Ed, who was gay. He wasn't the flamboyant type. He was very laid back. I nicknamed him Turtle because he walked so slow. He liked me but he never tried to hit on me, he just wanted a friend and a hug every now and then. We would go to lunch together everyday and he would buy my lunch, EVERYDAY!! I was worried that one day, I would have to pay him back in a sexual favor or something but he never pressured me into doing something I didn't want to do. All he really wanted was a hug just about everyday which was a small price to pay. I felt guilty for him to pay for lunch everyday but it was an insult to Ed if I didn't let him pay. Ed had a roommate/lover that he lived with in Oakland. He swore up and down that they didn't have a sexual relationship which I took his word for it but really it didn't matter to me, regardless. His "roommate" used to be a DJ for a radio station. The first time I went over to Ed's apartment and met his "roommate" I knew his roommate was gay when he asked me if, "I was in the mood for a blowjob!" I respectfully declined.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>One morning at the law firm, everybody in the messenger and mailroom department received a memo to attend a mandatory meeting at 4 P.M. in the afternoon that same day. There had been rumors that our jobs were on the line and at 4 o'clock that afternoon the rumors became true. The law firm had eliminated our in house jobs and hired an outside company to occupy our positions to cut cost. They gave all the messengers an application for the new company and a severance package. There had been messengers there for over 20 years and in one day their livelihood suddenly came to an end! Some of my co workers were crying, not knowing what the future would hold. Let go, through no fault of their own. Just a multi-million dollar company trying to save a buck at the expense of workers who were loyal for years then let go into the unknown. I collected unemployment but it wasn't enough to pay the rent. Actually, it was just enough to pay rent but that was it. So subsequently, I was served with eviction papers but not without a fight. I went to the local legal aid office and explained my eviction situation. They told me what steps to take, guiding me every step along the way. I ended up staying in my studio apartment for over 3 months, rent free. In fact, the landlord practically had to pay me to vacate. Due to a stipulation of a rodent infestation I had dealt with living so close to the garbage drop. Wondering what my next move was, I watched an infomercial at 2 o'clock in the morning about how to buy real estate with no money down taught by Carleton Sheets. I purchased the cassette course for 149 bucks and listened intently! I was obsessed and determined to become a real estate investor! I had nothing to lose and everything to gain!</div><div><br></div><div> San Francisco real estate was too expensive to make money. So I researched various United States markets that would have cheap property with the best return on investment. My conclusion was Orlando, Florida, a HOT market in 1991/92. At least from my research. I found a friend who I met in the Florida Keys, actually it was the girl that I worked with at the pizza place, the one who used to lived next door to the band in Marathon. I told her what I wanted to do and she said I could stay with her. At this time, she was married, trying to get a divorce with 2 kids, a little girl 2 years old and a 6 month old baby boy and a boyfriend. I was determined to be a real estate investor, even though, I didn't have a pot to piss or a window to throw it out of. I still had long hair and I didn't want to cut it, so I bought a short hair wig, so I looked professional. I bought 3 piece suits at the local Goodwill for 3 bucks to look sharp. I stayed with my friend for about a month, I was collecting unemployment, but I couldn't take the boyfriend drama, the kids or one of her friends offering me 20 dollars to give me head, so I had to find another place.</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I found another place with a single divorcee, living with her brother and her 3 year old daughter. I don't hate kids but they get on my nerves, at least the rambunctious ones that I can't control that aren't my own. I was trying to focus on buying real estate without a penny in the bank. I didn't have a car, so it looked suspicious or the very least, unprofessional. I found another money making opportunity from a late night infomercial that seemed easier than buying and renting real estate. It involved buying notes. If somebody won the lottery and took payments instead of one lump sum, I could be the in between person to find them an investor to buy their payments and give them all the cash they would receive eventually with about a 50% discount. Long story short, it never worked out.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I was already in Florida, defeated from the real estate market and other get rich schemes, I decided to go back to the place I was raised and go back to the proverbial drawing board, to figure out my next move. I called my step father who was still living in Grassy Key in the trailer I was raised in. He agreed I could stay there and figure out what I wanted to do. I got a job as a taxi driver with Island Taxi. The Brass Monkey, a local popular bar, has a yearly event called Christmas in July that I attended and I met this most beautiful, gorgeous girl.</div><div> I am usually shy and not one to go up to a girl and ask her what her sign is or whatever pick up line. But this girl looked like a hippie from the 70's and I just had to talk to her. I somehow started talking to her, I can't remember how it came about, but we were conversing. I found out she was a guitar player and of course, I told her I was a drummer. We hit it off. We had the same points of view of the world and similar musical taste. She invited me over to her place to jam. She had a drum set and conveniently lived in Grassy Key. I would find out later, she had a boyfriend too. I was broken-hearted but still had a connection with playing music together. She was just learning the guitar.</div><div>We jammed. We had a intellectual connection. We would talk about our dreams. We both loved music. One day we came up with the idea of going to the Art Institute of Ft Lauderdale to learn about the Music and Video Business. She enrolled at the Denver Art Institute and I went to the one in Ft. Lauderdale.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I moved to Ft. Lauderdale, driving from the Keys in a 1965 Dodge Van, I bought at a Monroe County Public Works auction for 50 bucks. I qualified for loans and grants to go to the school and I stayed in a converted Days Inn, which were the dorms for the school. While attending school, I got a job at Peaches Records and Tapes on Sunrise Blvd (ironically, I would later work at Tower records on Sunset Blvd) and joined a band called Colors Of Illusion.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>It was a eclectic alternative band fronted by a Latin female operatic singer. There was a bass player, guitar player, keyboard player and myself on drums. The band had a rehearsal studio that was converted from an old walk in cooler. I juggled playing in the band, going to school and working at the record store. The band recorded a 4 song demo and played gigs at various venues around Ft. Lauderdale. I had bought a potable Walkman cassette recorder to record our live shows. On one of the recordings after a song we just performed you can hear somebody say to somebody else, "That was weird." The band was weird. The lead singer was very skinny with long jet black hair and would wear costumes like the Cat In The Hat and prance around on stage, the guitar player looked like a skin head, the bass player looked like the hippie teacher on Beavis and Butthead, the keyboard player looked like a computer geek that wore a tie and I guess, I looked like a long blonde haired surfer/rocker dude. Our sound was hard to pinpoint, it was heavy drums, grungy guitar with opera like female vocals. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>While attending the Art Institute, one of our assignments was to work in a real world music related business. I worked as an intern at Long Distance Entertainment, a company who managed and booked local artist. One of the managers working there was managing a then unknown band called Marilyn Manson, his name was John Tovar. He saw my band play at a popular club called the Squeeze and came up to me and asked why I never mentioned my band to him. I just said, "I don't know" I was scared to mention the fact that I played in a band. I believed in the band but I just thought we weren't ready. We had another assignment at school to interview somebody who was working in the music business. At the time, Hootie and the Blowfish were becoming popular and the manager of the band was a guest speaker at the school. The band was playing the Button South later that night. I talked to the manager after his speech and asked if I could interview the band at the venue. He told me to give him my name and "when you get the venue ask for the road manager and tell them your name". He told me to be there at least an hour before showtime. So my assignment partner, whose parents used to write for some 80's sitcom, showed up an hour early, I talked to the road manager and he said the guitar player, Mark Bryan, was available and for us to wait in the back by the door and he would send him outside. I brought my tape recorder and recorded the interview. I had the questions written down from the assignment. The questions were like "What was one of the most important things you did, that helped you to achieve success?" I have since lost that recording, but Mark was cool and helpful in answering the questions.</div><div><br></div><div> Later on, I researched, which I should of done sooner, and found out that the General education required courses like Math and English in order to get a degree were non transferable credits and I wasn't happy with the progress I was having and the exuberant cost of the dorms and education I felt was over my head so I quit the school. I wanted to stop the bleeding before it cost me too much and I didn't get anything out of my time or money. Today, I am in debt to the Federal Government for defaulted students loans to the tune of over 10,000 dollars with no degree or education to show for it!</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>After I quit school, I didn't have a place to stay. I slept in my van behind our rehearsal space for 2 nights until one of the neighbors complained that I was sleeping in my van. The guitar player had an apartment with his girlfriend in front of the studio and they let me stay with them for about a week. The band was in turmoil and not getting further in its' "career" and they were dissatisfied with my drumming and they fired me.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I still had my job at the record store but was without a place to stay, again! So I found an empty parking lot and parked there and slept. I got in touch with a friend who was the lead singer in the first band I was ever in, Keys Disease. He had been playing in a band in the New England area called Point Blank. He told me he had some success with radio airplay in the Boston area. But the band called it quits and he moved back to Florida. He had a place in Wilton Manors. I told him my situation and he invited me to stay with him in a trailer he had just bought in a trailer park. So I took him up on his generous offer. We reminisced about the good old days, even though we were only 23, 24 years old and we talked about band stuff and partied. And partied, a lot!!! My old friend and new roommate had a thing for strip clubs. I loved them too! We would go to one every time we had time off from work. My friend and I would drink and drink!! He liked Jack Daniels and claimed he couldn't get drunk off beer anymore. He had to drink hard liquor to get a buzz and eventually, violently drunk. My place to sleep on the couch in the front of the trailer turned into a nightmare!! Sometimes, I had to be at work at 8 A.M. and my friend would drink all night into the wee hours of the morning. He would have metal blaring at 5 o'clock in the morning and he'd punch walls and put holes in them. He didn't give shit if I had to be at work at 8 in the morning and I had nowhere else to go. When I got home from a sleep deprived day, he would always apologize for acting the way he did. I was no angel, I loved to party just like he did. I am more a happy go lucky drunk with a lot less violence. I picked up a couple strippers at different strip clubs and brought them back to the trailer. It was hard (No Pun Intended) to have sex with them without an audience as my "room" was the couch and next to the front door. One of the strippers apparently wasn't worried about an audience when she was giving me head on the front porch in the trailer park in broad daylight.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>My friend/roommate used to party hard all the time. We went to a local bar to have a few beers. They had a jukebox there and we both loved rock n roll, my friend liked harder stuff. He played Rage Against The Machine and while putting more quarters in the jukebox, this older gentleman came up and told him not to play that "noise" on the jukebox. My friend cocked his fist back and clocked this guy, knocking him out. The bartender told us to get the fuck out and we took off.. About an hour later, we drove by the bar and there was an ambulance with it's lights on in front of the bar. We proceeded to go to a lesbian bar, for some unknown reason, other than, it was conveniently close to where we were and of course, there had to be chicks there. We ordered drinks with some bizarre looks. I was eyeing a hot chick who was at the bar when I almost got my ass kicked by her "butch" girlfriend. We took off to an all black strip club. My friend was into black chicks, I personally like white meat. We stuck out like 2 sore thumbs with the " brothas" probably wondering, "What in the hell are these crazy crackers doing here!?" We escaped without incident.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I would usually make it to work at the record store. It was about a half mile away from the trailer and I would usually walk. I worked there for over a year and became the Head Cashier which meant they trusted me with greater responsibilities. One of the few memories I had working there was hearing the Black Crowes Amorica album, playing over and over. There was a Irish bloke who was my co worker who ALWAYS played that album constantly over and over in the store. I was scheduled to work on Saint Patrick's Day but my roommate had the day off and he wanted to go to a local Irish pub around the corner of the trailer park. He urged me to come along and I called in sick to work to celebrate the holiday. We went to the pub about 10 A.M. and started, uh, drinking. That's what you do on St. Patty's Day at an Irish pub. We were all day into the night marathon drinkers. We noticed this hot chick pull up to the bar by herself. We were both single and always looking for chicks. It was odd that a chick this good looking would be by herself during the day in a dumpy little bar. We started talking to her and bought her shots. She sat in between us. At one point she started making out with my friend. I thought, well I guess we know who's getting lucky tonight! Then a few minutes later, she turns to me and starts kissing me. Maybe we BOTH will get lucky on St. Patty's Day! She kept going to the bathroom, a lot! We didn't know if she had a bladder problem or what? On one trip to the little girls room, she didn't come out for what seemed like a half an hour. We told the bartender that we were concerned. The bartender allowed my friend to see what was up. My friend saw her sitting on the toilet slouched over with a line of coke on the back of the toilet. She wasn't dead, she had just passed out for a minute. My friend got her out of the bathroom. We told the bartender that we would make sure that she got home O.K. We ended up bringing her back to our trailer. She wasn't totally incoherent. She could talk and barely walk. But at least she wasn't driving or roaming the streets. We talked and found out that she was one of the chicks in Robert Palmers' Addicted To Love video!! At first glance, you wouldn't even think of it, she was HOT but you didn't see the connection until she actually mentioned it! I don't know if my friend had sex with her but I know I performed oral sex on her. My friend was in love and obsessed with this chick. He wanted to find out where she lived and all this love stuff and I was like,"Just drop it, man!" We had our fun, now it's time to move on. Neither of us ever saw her again.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>There were many blurry party days but I couldn't take the violence my roommate would bring, punching walls in the middle of the night and cranking the music while I was trying to sleep to make it to work the next day. I wanted to party but I also had to make money to have a party. One night my friend was driving us home after partying at some strip club. We were both smashed!! We made it all the way to the trailer park. All he had to do was take a left turn into the park and we would be home safely. He turned into the park with his pickup truck in the path of a on coming motorcycle. The motorcycle crashed into the side of the pickup. Breaking the glass of the passenger side door. The motorcyclist had a female passenger on the back of the bike. The motorcyclist suffered 2 broken legs and the female broke her arm. Thank God nobody was killed!!! I sat on the edge of the road in a daze. I had a couple of cuts on my head, watching the police and ambulance show up. My friend was unscathed. My friend had previous D.U.I.'s, but escaped that night without one! </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I knew I had to pretty much escape this situation. Once again, I called my brother in a plea for help. I explained what had happened to me and my brother agreed to let me stay with him in San Francisco, again. So I put in my 2 weeks notice, planned my escape and then took a Greyhound from Ft. Lauderdale and headed 3,000 miles back to the Bay Area. My brother and lover had bought a new house at 192 Carnelian Way in San Francisco. At this point the "band" thing wasn't working. But I still wanted to be involved in music, somehow. I loved music and traveling. There was a big time local promoter in the Bay Area, Bill Graham Presents who I tried to get a position with before but all I received was a letter of rejection explaining how they were a small company with very little turnover. Plus the fact that I didn't have any experience didn't help my pursuit of securing a job in the music industry. Bill Graham Presents was THE promoter in the Bay Area and I wanted to be with the best and thought, why settle for less? In the meantime, I got a job at Tower records on Market street in San Francisco to make ends meet. I then inquired about taking a course at San Francisco State University on the music business. It was a 2 day a week class that was on concert promotion. I met a female classmate who actually worked for Bill Graham Presents and I explained that I had been trying to get a job at BGP for years! She told me that Bill Graham Presents had an internship program and that they were looking for new recruits and to give her a copy of my resume and she would pass it on to the powers that be. About a week later, I received a call from Rebecca Nichols who was in charge of running the internship program. She told me to show up at a certain time at the BGP offices for internship "tryouts". I showed up and Rebecca explained the internship program and handed out copies of Bill Grahams' book for all of us to read and told us about future shows that needed our help. BGP would have interns work various up coming shows. The position was unpaid but the experience gained was PRICELESS!!! We also were assigned various departments within the offices of BGP to work. We had to work a certain amount of hours to receive credit. I was selected to work the band management department.</div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Bill Graham Presents was primarily a concert promoter for big name bands playing the Bay Area. But they also had a artist management division that managed big named artist like Eddie Money, Joe Satriani, Gin Blossoms, Train, the Neville Brothers and a few others. My intern position consisted of answering phones, making copies and signing autographs. Yes, it's not a typo, signing autographs. The Bill Graham offices would receive fan mail for Eddie Money and for some strange reason, the powers that be, had me answer the fan mail with a signed 8 x 10 picture of Eddie Money signed by, ME!! I know, it's hard to believe but I can't make this shit up. I would sign the picture and send it back to the fans. </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>I worked at BGP working various show, the first one being, Laguna Seca Daze in 1996, which was a 2 day outdoor concert at the Laguna Seca Raceway that featured Ratdog, Train, G.

I had a lot of fun and was learning along the way. The next big event was the Tibetan Freedom Concert that was going to be at Golden Gate Park in June.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span> At this point, I had been working for Bill Graham Management for about 2 months and one of the managers who managed Joe Satriani seemed to take a liking to me, he also was the former road manager for Peter Frampton, back in the day. His name was Mick Brigden. He had a young, unknown alternative Canadian band he contracted to manage and they were signed to Virgin Records. Their name was Pluto and they had been touring to promote their major label debut self-titled album. Mick asked me one day if I wanted to go on the road, I said,"Hell yeah!" He said he wanted me to road manage his band, Pluto. He knew I didn't have previous experience but had faith in me through the work I had already done at BGP. I was honored and vowed to do the best job I could. He gave me the itinerary of the bands' tour and told me to start booking hotel rooms under 50 dollars a night.

I will move on! U2 FREE CD!! Poem/Song: Waiting In The Wings
Of A Angel'I got laid off at Keys Fisheries on September 2nd, 2014, through no fault of my own just because I "assume", my teachers always told me not to, but I can break the rules, because I have a mind, that I own, business is slow! So tough shit, I've already been through this shit! I am almost getting used to bad news, I just wish I could be independent from anybody else or their capitalist endeavors to make a fuckin' buck. Yeah, I said fuckin' again and I can say fuckin' because this is MY free mother fuckin' blog, there I said it AGAIN! So with that said and without further ado or a job. Here's my latest poem, that I wrote without anybody else involved, except maybe, probably, I hate to speculate but, GOD! I hope you like and if not,... tough SHIT!! Live with it or die trying!! OR type your happy ass to another blog! ....Don't let the World Wide Web kick you in the ass on your way out!!...BITCH!!!....On a lighter note.....Thank you, to Tracy for providing a roof over my head in a difficult time. I was giving her a hundred dollars a week UNTIL I LOST MY JOB!! Now I can't help her, pay her, trickle down economics affects not only me but other people lower on the totem pole of the "think" their rich people but they have lost their soul. I understand business is business. But there is more to life than fuckin' MONEY, THERE I SAID FUCKIN' AGAIN, BECAUSE I AM FREE!!!! I hope I made more SENSE THAN A DOLLAR BILL! (Not really, I don't really give a shit, but I will give 50 CENT (S) to a motherfucker living on the streets trying to get something to eat while the rich fucks who don't give a shit about nothing but themselves roll into the (shit) bank! O.K..... I'm more tried and drained from typing, ranting and raving, I guess you realize I love bitchin',moanin',fussin' and it cost me NOTHIN' because I'm FREE!!!"....WWWEEEEEEEEEEEE.COM...It's a fun ride, you should take it sometime. O.K., DAMN!! NOW I'm annoying myself, here's the FUNCKIN' poem...I didn't say FUCKIN', I said, FUNCKIN', I tried! But it was a typo! ......OK,....I'M DONE..I PROMISE EXCEPT for THE POEM.....WAIT FOR IT.......ZZZZZZZZZ.....I GOT TO GO TO SLEEP.....Thank you Tracy for a internet connection and keeping me out of the rain! .................This poem is brought to you by my childhood friend who owns, TRACY's PET SERVICE ......P.S. ..I am currently, continually, working on writing my memoir book because, uh, I don't have anything better to do..hehehohohaha..it will be good..I promise you..I have a LOT of stories that I have to remember and put on, uh, paper? Cyberspace? Whatever, just remember God loves you regardless of any situation.

There are five songs of dirty rawk'n'roll with attitude on this CD that sometimes remind me of The GUTTER QUEENS from Switzerland, maybe because of this garage rock touch.

Hindsight is always 20/20, if it would of been like 1985, I would of stayed with Poisin Jett Gunz but the fact that it was 2003, I thought milktooth had a better chance at making it due to the "alternative" music that was popular at the time.</span></p><div><div>Milktooth played Bottom of the Hill.

Formed in 1998 by guitarist/vocalist Josh Chase and bassist/vocalist Rebecca Hill, rock band Milktooth started creating the basis of the group's aggressive, metallic, and ethereal sound inside a cramped warehouse space in San Francisco's SOMA district. In April 2000, Milktooth had a lineup change and met drummer Kevin Sanders through a local music posting. Sanders added a straight forward rhythm style and helped the band tighten its growing repertoire of songs. The band then grew to a four-piece in January 2001 with the addition of guitarist James Bridges and began work on the band's first seven-song EP. Milktooth self-released the EP in August 2001 with plans for a West Coast tour in early 2002.

There is nothing terribly different going on here, but it is all put together well enough to produce a welcome change to monotony that exists in much music these days especially with bands that claim to be heavy or loud rock bands. Sometimes, and in Milktooths case, a progression of fantastic bass lines goes a long way. These are brought to us courtesy of Rebecca Hill. Milktooths other members are Josh Chase (vocals/guitar) and Kevin Sanders (drums). </div><div><br></div><div>The press kit for Californias Milktooth reads, Milktooths style continues to evolve, from dramatically moody to experimentally raw. I would certainly agree that their music is dramatically moody and it works for them. Experimentally raw is a stretch though, as there doesnt seem to be much experimentation going on here, unless they are referring to their own experimentation during recording or maybe those synth sounds that pop up on several of the tracks. The one drawback to this recording is the quality of the recording itself. These guys could benefit from a good studio session. </div><div><br></div><div>When Milktooth get around to producing a better recorded album, I would check it out.

To know the future, you need to know the past or something like that, So I researched my family history and this is what I found. I was unable to get a lot of information on my mothers' Jordan side. So most of the info is from my fathers' Sanders side of the family. I joined ancestry.com 14 day free trial and this is what I have found so far.<br />
I have since cancelled my subscription before they were able to charge me. Some of the names underlined have outside links into information on a particular individual.Here's some of my history on how I came to be.</div>

Poems - #FullMoonFridaythe13th - Father's Day TributeHere are some of the poems I wrote when I lived in West Hollywood. Please be kind and rewind with me back in time. This was when I first started writing poems back in 2003 - 2005. I was inspired to start writing after a fellow mechanic friend who also lived in his van and drink beer all day showed me his book of poems. I was somehow impressed. I thought, this guy pretty much has nothing like me but he had quite a few poems, he composed, that he owned. Without further a do..here are my unedited, first thing that came to mind at the time, Hollywood/L.A. Poems, hopefully you enjoy. If not, F U 2! Just kidding...I WUV U! Just remember, Beauty is in the eye of the poem holder ...O.K. that wasn't too good, but hey, I tried, and I still believe that is half the battle. And sue me, I"m SOBER,and on my way to work...Happy Full Moon Payday Friday the 13th:) and Happy Father's Day (<i><b>"Thoughts Of Dad"</b></i> - Dedicated to my biological father, William Fred Sanders.... <i><b>"Words For Step Dad</b></i>" - Dedicated to my step father who raised me since I was 5 years old, Donald "Doc" MacDonald)<br />
<h3>
Painless Death</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Must get up shake the world off
<br />Heard my friend died today
<br />She used to tell me
<br />How much pain she felt
<br />Relief
<br />She doesn't have to suffer anymore
<br />A blessing in disguise I guess you could say
<br />Someday we will meet up again
<br />Today
<br />I kiss her goodbye
<br />Maybe tomorrow I will see her
<br />Happier than
<br />Life on earth
<br />Must be a better than
<br />The hell she faced
<br />I sleep tonight knowing
<br />She is in a better place<br />
<h3>
(Sorry Mom) Second Chance Gone</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Too late
<br />Not enough time
<br />On her way to heaven
<br />Didn't get a chance to say goodbye
<br />Wish I could turn back the hands of time
<br />But I can't
<br />Although I tried
<br />A reality I must face
<br />For the rest of my life
<br />Forever I will regret
<br />Nothing I can do now
<br />Except look back on the past
<br />Remember the good times we had
<br />Something I will never have again
<br />Everyday I wake up
<br />Just a reminder of what I have lost
<br />The one I love bigger than the whole wide world
<br />Used to tell her everyday when she was still around
<br />Second chance gone<br />
<h3>
What I Go Through</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Now I know how it feels to be left alone
<br />I thought I forgot but my dream came true
<br />I still try to find the answer,I look for the truth
<br />Not trying to hurt you, I've been there before
<br />Never want to go back there
<br />Maybe on my dying day they will remember me
<br />Maybe too late for me to see
<br />Look down on earth,the place I lived before
<br />A better place or so they say,I hope and pray
<br />Must be a better place than the hell,I live today
<br />Can't explain in words my pain
<br />I hope you have a better life than the one
<br />I had before, time to move on
<br />Have I made a change in the world that needs so much
<br />All human beings living on planet earth
<br />Never found my place to start
<br />I wish I could, it's not your fault,I blame myself
<br />You tried the best,nothing means,anything else
<br />You must sleep in the grave by yourself
<br />Until the end,....comes soon<br />
<h3>
Ears Open, Mouth Closed</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
You wonder what is wrong with the world today
<br />While you don't listen to the people on the streets
<br />The words they say
<br />Sheltered by public T.V.
<br />Thinking they speak the truth
<br />When they have no clue
<br />No heart
<br />No soul
<br />Puppet on a string
<br />Believing the lies they tell you
<br />So remote control
<br />I could tell you but
<br />You wouldn't listen anyway
<br />Why waste my breath
<br />When you can't think for yourself
<br />Form your own opinion
<br />Your mouth is open
<br />With your ears closed<br />
<h3>
Something Has Changed</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
I wanted to love you
<br />The way you were yesterday
<br />Somehow it seems
<br />Something has changed
<br />In spite of the time we have spent together
<br />Somehow it feels different
<br />Something has changed
<br />It doesn't seem the same way
<br />Maybe it's my mind getting away
<br />Something has changed
<br />Your distance is out of reach
<br />Happy times I remember
<br />Sad times I must face
<br />Can't escape my sorrow
<br />Drown myself with the bottle
<br />Something has changed
<br />Nothing I can do, Another day is new
<br />Will it be like you were yesterday
<br />Or become a faded memory
<br />Something has changed<br />
<h3>
Positive End Result</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Feel like the rain
<br />Teardrops on my window
<br />Darkness hanging overhead
<br />Not a bright future
<br />The past is gone
<br />No need to look back
<br />I know what I have been through
<br />Wash away the pain
<br />Put the fire out
<br />Don't burn my city down
<br />Cut the smoke
<br />Let the flowers bloom
<br />Full potential
<br />Time to grow
<br />Positive End Result<br />
<h3>
Words for Step Dad</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders
<br />
I write these words wearing the rings
<br />Of his on my hands
<br />Stuck in Hollywood,California
<br />When I got the call
<br />He had passed away
<br />He did a great job of raising me
<br />I've never been in jail
<br />For the fear of him raising his voice
<br />Couldn't understand why he did that
<br />Mom used to say,He means well
<br />Later in life I found out
<br />He meant well
<br />Growing up through the depression
<br />Fighting World War 2
<br />Tougher than nails
<br />He gave me the strength to carry on
<br />I'm sad to say
<br />I didn't get a chance to say goodbye
<br />He taught me well
<br />Honor,Trust,Dignity,strength beyond belief! <br />
<h3>
Where I Came From</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Grew up below the bible belt
<br />Carried the cross to the altar as a kid
<br />Does that count
<br />Came from the southernmost part
<br />Of the United States
<br />90 miles away from Cuba
<br />Watch them float in on a rubber raft
<br />Against the beach 90 degrees everyday
<br />Rain at 12 o'clock on the dot
<br />Catch the fish swimming in the ocean
<br />Jump into the pool to cool off
<br />Order a margarita to wash it all down
<br />Turn on Bob Marley or Jimmy Buffet
<br />To hear the sounds of freedom
<br />Hungry for a cheeseburger
<br />Paradise is where I came from<br />
<h3>
Thinking about Mom</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
I used to tell my mom
<br />When she was still alive
<br />I loved her bigger than the whole wide world
<br />She told me she loved me more than life itself
<br />Then she left me at the age of fifteen
<br />Taking her to the hospital
<br />For the cancer operation
<br />Saddest day of my life
<br />Seeing her cry
<br />Saying "I don't want to die"
<br />Saying to her drying her eyes
<br />"You're not"
<br />2 weeks later got the bad news
<br />She was on her way to heaven
<br />Out of my life forever
<br />While I stay here on earth
<br />Wonder why everyday
<br />I miss her so much
<br />There are no words to explain
<br />I love you mom
<br />Can't wait for the day we can be together again<br />
<h3>
Greedy</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
The greedy in a hurry
<br />to get nowhere
<br />As the needy stand idle in the streets
<br />Looking for a solution
<br />To their problems
<br />Stand around and wait
<br />Wondering why
<br />They have no food on their plate
<br />The fortunate must have something
<br />They don't have
<br />Hard work or luck
<br />Maybe a little bit of both
<br />That got them to the place
<br />They live today<br />
<h3>
Rent Is Due</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
I don't need electricity
<br />Paying bills
<br />I have a higher power behind me
<br />Go pay your rent
<br />Before you know it it's the first of the month
<br />Forget about me living in my van
<br />You have rent to pay, Bigger problems than me
<br />I rather live free
<br />No landlord to tell me what to do
<br />They don't own s*** in the end
<br />This land is your land as well as mine<br />I will walk the walk where I want to<br />
Shout the name<br />
Of who is to blame<br />
Freedom is the bell I ring<br />
<br />
<b><u><i>Untitled at the Time</i></u></b><br />
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
I write simple
<br />I try to get my point across
<br />It seems the world is confused enough
<br />If nobody understands it
<br />Nobody will get it
<br />Just wasting my time and thoughts
<br />Nowadays
<br />Common sense
<br />Is not so common
<br />I sit here crying
<br />Wondering why
<br />So simple but yet
<br />So difficult
<br />Maybe a different education level
<br />I still question
<br />Without any answers
<br />I will not quit
<br />Until I have reached the end
<br />Love, Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<h3>
Have to Play to Win</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
I knew I never had a chance
<br />But it's nice to know at least I tried
<br />For though
<br />If I didn't
<br />I would never win
<br />Can't do it
<br />If you never play
<br />Not in the cards
<br />Not even in the game
<br />But somehow I still believe
<br />My luck must change
<br />Can't be bad all the time
<br />Lost my lucky charm
<br />Along the way<br />
<h3>
Headlights in the Rearview</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
As the cars drive by
<br />While the city sleeps
<br />All I can see is darkness
<br />Look at the beauty of the trees
<br />Wake up to the birds singing
<br />Watch the homeless walking the streets
<br />With nowhere to go
<br />Searching for hope
<br />Wondering what's going on
<br />I look to the sky without a moon<br />
<h3>
Blood Has More Value Than Oil</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Bring the kids back home
<br />Safe from war
<br />Hate only destroys
<br />Love conquers all
<br />Let them reach their goal
<br />Give them a chance to live life
<br />Everybody loses in war
<br />Nobody ever wins
<br />When will it end?<br />
<h3>
Thoughts of Dad</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
A gunshot rings out
<br />As a six month old baby crys
<br />Asking mommy if
<br />Daddy is coming home
<br />She says, no honey
<br />I'm sorry
<br />He has moved on to a better place
<br />Nothing anybody can do
<br />We have to make the best
<br />With what we have left
<br />All we need now is each other
<br />Then I ask
<br />What did I do wrong to deserve this?
<br />Nothing honey
<br />That's just the way life goes<br />
<h3>
Same Thing Twice</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Create my own world
<br />It's cold outside inside the other one
<br />Turn my eyes
<br />Act like there is nothing wrong
<br />Not my problem
<br />You can't handle the truth
<br />Talk to the teacher
<br />Learn from your parents
<br />Vicious cycle
<br />That never changes
<br />Insanity
<br />Do the same thing
<br />Expect a different result
<br />When will you become tired of
<br />The same situation?
<br />Sounds cliche'
<br />But I have to repeat you see
<br />Nobody apparently
<br />Didn't listen
<br />The first time!<br />
<h3>
Family Reunion</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
My family has left me alone
<br />In this big world
<br />You don't know
<br />How much you will miss them
<br />Until they are gone forever
<br />You'll learn how to cry
<br />Look into the past
<br />You have to be there
<br />To really understand
<br />Thanksgiving dinner comes again
<br />You wait for them to come back home
<br />Then they don't
<br />It hurts so much you wonder
<br />How you can go on
<br />You try to turn to someone
<br />But nobody is there
<br />You see everybody else celebrating holidays
<br />As you sit by the grave
<br />Releasing your pain
<br />All you want is a family reunion <br />
<h3>
A Brother That Means Everything To Me</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday to my one and only Brother
<br />I hope you have many more to come
<br />I know I write poems
<br />I can't tell you how much I love you
<br />It's more than words can say
<br />Without your support and love
<br />I could not go on
<br />I hope you live longer than I
<br />I couldn't deal with the pain of you being gone
<br />It's hard to convey my thoughts
<br />To someone I love so much
<br />You are all I have left on this earth
<br />As you know, I don't have much
<br />I just want you to know
<br />You deserve more
<br />Your love is enough
<br />To keep me alive in this world
<br />You have my support forever
<br />As you have given me throughout the years
<br />Happy Birthday Brother.<br />
<h3>
Take Change Out Of Your Pocket</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Balance between the haves and the have nots
<br />Why can we not get justice?
<br />Make this a beautiful place to live again
<br />It would only make this country stronger
<br />As well as the countries in the union
<br />If we all pull together for one cause
<br />Freedom, One Love after all
<br />Human Beings living on planet earth
<br />Can we all show our love for one another
<br />All we have left to carry on
<br />The afterlife
<br />Nobody wants to live in hell
<br />Please feed the hungry
<br />You have nothing to worry about
<br />You have all the money in the world
<br />Please change your thinking
<br />Think about change for the people
<br />Who have no food to eat
<br />Just remember together
<br />We can do anything<br />
<h3>
Burning Desire</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Stand back and observe
<br />I'm not the only one
<br />Starving to make it
<br />Some do something
<br />To make a change
<br />Others fall by the wayside
<br />I've changed my ways
<br />Tired of being poor
<br />Gonna take the bull by the horns
<br />I have a passion
<br />I thought I'd write a book about my life
<br />And the words I put together every night
<br />The ones you are reading right now
<br />No show, No auditions
<br />This is my real life, reality show,
<br />In my own words
<br />No cameras, No script
<br />Directors to tell me what to do
<br />It's a great feeling to know
<br />I did it all on my own<br />
<h3>
Resources</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Will we learn from our mistakes
<br />Before it's too late
<br />Do we want the same chance
<br />For our children
<br />As we had
<br />Disaster will strike twice
<br />If we let it happen<br />
It's up to us<br />To make a difference
<br />Into tomorrows' future<br />
As you pass<br />Your children will live on
<br />The reason you brought them
<br />Into this world
<br />Don't live in the past
<br />Think ahead
<br />Give them the same chance
<br />That you once had <br />
<h3>
Never Forget</h3>
By
Kevin Dale Sanders<br />
<br />
Will you remember me
<br />When I'm down and out
<br />Will you forget me
<br />When I'm no longer in your eyes
<br />I hold on to
<br />Our memories
<br />We once had
<br />In our teenage dreams
<br />Precious time
<br />Nobody can take away
<br />No matter how far
<br />We drift apart
<br />You will always remain in my heart
<br />I will never forget you
<br />I can only hope you don't
<br />Forget me

<b>"Beautiful Freedom"
</b>
Sleep On The Back Porch...
Escape The Rain...
Before Sunrise...
See The Eagles Soar...
Wake Up To See...
The Morning Light.......
Back On The Road...
Without Sleep...
Wonder How Music...
Has Got Me This Far.......
Fate...
Right Or Wrong...
Shows Me Which...
Way To Go...
My Life...
My Love...
My Pure Existence.......
God Will Take Me...
When My Work Is Done...
But I Am Not Yet Finished...
I Still Have A Long Way To Go...
Seems Like...
Such A Short Distance.......
On A Beautiful...
Dark And Lonely Road......
Glad To Be American...
With A Freedom...
Of Choice...
To Choose...
What I Want To......
Sleep Underneath...
Blue Skies...
Thank You Ms. America...
I Still Have...
My Freedom...
To Say What I Want To...
I Couldn't Do It...
Without You.......
I Must Give...
Thanks And Praise...
Not To Get...
Teary Eyed And Blue...
I Do It All...
For You.......
Left Alone...
Without Your Love...
All I See...
Is A Empty World........
Chickens Peck...
To Find Some Food...
My Cue
To Leave...
And Hit The Road.....
Search To Find.....
My Lost Soul......
<i>Written January 4th, 2014

<i>I wrote this as I woke up at my "secret sleeping spot", hence the words in my lyrics/poem regarding, back porch and chickens. My "spot" mate blew up the spot, as he got arrested the other day for trespassing!! there. So I don't know how good it is now. Although, I was there a couple of times and KWPD, a Key West Police officer, (for you dumb mother fucks) rode by me slowly but never stopped. I thought I was dead to rites but he kept moving and didn't stop!!...........
</i>
Collie M(a?)cCall (you can look him up on keysso.net), my "spot" mate, showed me the space, so I can't say anything, like,"GET THE FUCK OUT!! or "GO HOME, YOU DIRTY, FOUL MOUTH, GOOD FOR NOTHING, MOTHERFUCKIN' BASTARD"!!!!
Without further to do, Are you ready to know the "secret spot"??, it's kinda funny,.....drum roll please.................................................................................................................................THE SECRET SPOT IS.......................Uh, UH, Uh OH UM, Fe Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of a, you know who..............................You'll have to wait til I write again to find out...DOH!!!,(I think cliffhangers are FUN, annoying, but FUN!!) until then, HAVE Fun and stay out of the SUN, cause it causes cancer you know, just like everything else, like the fumes from the trucks and cars passing by while you try to breathe walking down the road. Hell, you might as well enjoy a cigarette as opposed to coughing your pure and clean lungs out without pleasure for the cause........ I will be appearing at the "last supper", provided by my wonderful boss, John Moen and his wife Theresa from Liberty Tax, at Pepe's on Mallory Square in Key West, Saturday. I will be bringing my beautiful childhood friend, Tracy, as my guest, for all that she has done for me and did!! See you then!! To Da Loo, Skip To My Lou!! Listen To Eminem!! :)----Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14769690804226520034noreply@blogger.com0
