Where I'm From

 

"Where I'm From"

 

I tried construction after getting G.E.D. from the 11th grade first time tester. Had to move to the Northeast S.A. to Madison High School due to Dad getting job on the N.A.S.A. Space Program Radar System on an Island somewhere in the Southwestern Atlantic.
Soon after that I joined the Army Reserves and fell in love with a girl at H.E.B. on the corner of Nacogdoches and O'Connor Rd N.E. S.A., after training 1983 when Granada happened saw no action, got married in 1985 when the big snow hit. Made News in 1985 when Brother in law was robbed and killed on the job at a little electronic shop on Perrin Beitel Rd. Son was born in July 1985.
Got into a car accident in 1986 and didn't know what to do! Went to the hospital chapel and prayed for something to do besides nothing.
I'm still on disability. Didn't have to go to Desert Storm in 1990, Got a divorce in 1988. Went to St. Philips college in 1989 to learn to write poetry....
"A Soldier's Mission"
I was a soldier fighting for God and country.
I leave this world to continue to fight for God.
If I'm to go to hell it is to rescue Soldiers,
who are waiting to be relieved of duty.
A Soldier's mission is never completed,
when they volunteer for God and country!

I started Solo Ad. Advertising Copyright Agency in 1999 and in 2003 started Solo Surveillance where we installed security cameras in a cafe called Molino Rojo on Nacogdoches Rd in Northeast SA where I do security until S.A.P.D shows up for breakfast
This one was for Retama Racetrack (Horses) they didn't use it so I kept it...
"Paco The Polo Pony"
In with the wind, out like a light.
The time is near, we run tonight.
The money is down, the gate is closed.
With the tension high, we win by a nose.
The joy of winning, comes in a dream!
For some of us it's really "EXTREME"!
