I can remember taking a bath in a sink I loved it still do. Maybe more but not sure. 2My mom she was in California when I was born looking for someone to watch me so she could get to work. It was raining and she left me with a complete stranger realize we were alone and we came back to Texas. I remember staying in the bar all day all night. That's when we got back at 2 I knew I was not being taken care of so I started watching myself but I started to steal and lie to my mom. 2nd grade is the first time I ever thought I seen my dad they got married I was tested a genus after I was class treasurr that's what I wanted no pressure or anything so money man. The teachers asked me to b president or vice president but I just want to help budget and get to do student counsel activities. The student counsel and my classmates said the pledge of allegiance in Spanish it might mayor Rick Perry idk. I thought my soulmate was left there Lori Castiano maybe idk but my first date, girlfriend, best friend, i put jello in my pocket for after the date. We shared it and it might b the last date until one more after I left my daughters mom. I couldn't control my stomach, and my daughter is the say way poor father's daughter. I used to poop myself and hide under tables and take naps under then Lori would go lay with me and play with me at recess. After they got married I never went to the Same school moved every year. They put me in every sport t-ball then soccer and whatever else. 4rd grade lived in the country like royalty only time I lived and first time I met my dad's older son Eleias idk how to spell it. We were inseparable mom's called us the walking talking garbage disposals lol. He was 17 or 18 He taught me to draw, karate, and gave me my first cigarette. Then he went back to juvenile hall I've never seen him again or my dad's other 2 kids. My dad was an arrogant, conceited, womanizer and beat my mom. He gave me my first beer that year in a shop bigger than a barn 2 barns at least party room, shop, and pool hall. I got my cuz to have his first cigarette in there. Got a pack of my dad dash he kept a carton kool full flavor shorts. My dads brother was there i got his son to smoke with me on top of a salt bags piled at least 10 or 12 ft high. Got cocky and we climbed down and started playing pool my dad walked in my cuz threw his cigarette my dad was behind me i turned around and blew the smoke in his feet. All I wanted from my dads was a candy apple red chrome covered 1965 or 7 short bed pickup. It had Winston rims like a mirror or if turned his white walls out white solid caps. I fought for that truck only thing I wanted when he died he had so much but the lady he was with her son got everything. Leather and dress clothes and shoes in every color and a lot of jewelry. I won the truck in court but his youngest brother Paul got it. Cause I was in Idaho when he died Friday I left Monday. MY]]] 2 0 grandmother hated us me and my mom my dad was the oldest. He died then his dad died of Lung cancer. I didn't talk or cry for three day until my friends had a party around the corner from my house. I started walking in a circle around were they were making trash can punch. My best friends little brother was trying to cheer me up and jump in front of me to make stop walking and I went of but I started cry he sat with me until I stopped. Everyone called him Tio Nu Nesaid he was a bad boy but he beat my mom cheated on her I realized I was his cover. Yeah I'm a bastard I and he was a son of a bitch and then some. My parents were divorced before I was out of 3rd. O yeah first time I saw porn not gonna lie it kinda scared me and thinking about it I'm pretty sure that's y i climb trees with a fear of highs I don't like step stools but will jump of a cliff or top of a bridge. While they were fighting and ending their marriage I didn't stay inside ever slept out side wondering as far as I wanted or could usually walking in town to see my mom's family cock fights, dog fights, actual fights unless my dad was there. At 3rd grade I was so independent, no boundaries everyone treated me like my dad, and genius understanding collect my family's money. I was given every right the man of the house had in any home I wanted even stranger because my mom's family adore and protected me like a gift. They r the meanest, roughest, no joke top dog next to my dad and his family. My mom's brother had a son that would take care of kids and kinda teach the bible but was addicted to heroin and made his kids fight his fighting pits I started fighting to so they wouldn't have to fight them it was so crazy but he really liked me and I could pretty much do anything there. My grandpa liked us my grandma would say what the fuck is this bitch and her pig, fatass, stupid kid doing here. Most of the time he said shit woman before all of it but it came out like air lol. Me and my mom r the nice ones in our family but dads dad's family didn't cross into my mom's family neighborhood. Wow kinda seeing some things just thought it was idk. After that me and my mom moved every year until one year she picked me up at the en of summer and we went to Idaho smh. Wow I never thought about it until now best shittest year or year And half I'm not sure we went to 6 flags, botanical gardens, California, Denver, and my dad drove water truck I went with him and delivered from his shop for culligan water systems, 1000 miles every direction to hospitals, scientists laboratory, and places we drove and i don't think anyone but the people who worked there knew it was there. Ok maybe military laboratories dam. And he worked nights at Chevron full service I changed and fixed tires pumped gas, cleaned windows, drank black coffee and slept on the bench. No wonder I don't sleep I was trained I thought I was just trying to spend time with my dad. O yeah a couple years after they divorced he sat me down and said he wasn't my dad I said your the only dad I know and got up and went out side. When I was with my dad I skipped school wondering around Amarillo or Lubbock depending on which one that year.with my mom I didn't miss read dictionaries and encyclopedias, thesaurus, and dictionaries for fun. Usually came home after school with a full grown pit, German shepherd, rottweiler, I think a grey hound or that grey bread like lab. Cats, feral kittens, snakes, almost never puppies lol. Me and my mom were homeless for a while I jumped fences to bath is pools. My mom got caught stealing food once and we started staying at her friends house. The first one had 2 daughters one had braces on her legs with crutches. I liked her she she was so smart and was so beautiful with bright eyes. A couple more friends place but if they had kids the usually picked on me for being fat and pooping my pant. The last friend was her best friend at the time her son would play with me and not pick on me. His big brother came over to watch some fight then they watched nightmare on Elm street he started picking me so I went outside and fell asleep in our car. After that my mom was so upset she quit partying as much so she could get an apartment. She showed me how to cook and do dishes so I fed myself for the most part. The boy across the hall would pick on me all the way home one day he pushed me hard I got up ran home and was crying told my mom. She walked straight across the hall knocking hard his dad came to the door looked like the biggest guy I ever seen. She said look your son is pushing, kicking, and if he does it again I'm giving my son permission to beat your son up and she didn't want to hear anything about it. She went straight in our apartment and grabbed me and said if I ever came home crying she would woop my asss. Then in a trailer park first when they got divorced I could go outside at a certain time and I came in when the street lights came on. I had a lot of freedoms as a child staying by buy self till my mom got home from work. Woke up by myself cooked omelet with cheese, onion tomatoes, and couldn't eat eggs without jalapenos. All while I see plan and try to make a dollar and a little legend or live Revelation now it's here
