My life didn’t go according to plan.
Not even close!
There were detours that lasted years, mistakes that turned into lessons, and surprises that changed everything. Some roads were rough, some were unexpected, but all of them have a story to tell.
If you enjoy real stories, unexpected turns, and a few lessons learned along the way…
come along for the ride.

Generation Jones!
People born between 1954 and 1965 grew up affected by world-changing events but unable to affect them. Hitting adulthood in a chaotic society where our older siblings and parents fight for very different things. We weren’t lost, just pushed aside. For me, growing up was mostly hell.

‘Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.’
(Shakespeare: Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5)

Resistance Is Not Futile
Hell hath no fury like an unaccountable hospital.
The worst thing that ever happened to me occurred in 2020. I was sent to a hospital for a minor ailment and wound up there three and a half months. I was not sick, except I had a little bit of a head cold. Somebody did something and caused me to stop reading and it went downhill from there. This is my story.
Nothing like having your prayers never answered.
LISTEN to John Lennon… “imagine no religion.” It’s easy if you try.
* About fuck-ups and failures…
If you haven’t fucked up, have you really lived? In this raw and unflinching reflection, a self-proclaimed veteran of failures lays out a life stitched together by broken trust, hard lessons, and stubborn survival. Every mistake—big, small, repeated—becomes a scar worn like a badge of courage, proof of risks taken and dreams pursued. BACK DAYS invites readers on a gritty, honest hay-ride through decades of missteps and endurance, following the journey of a once-awkward outsider who refused to disappear. Laugh, wince, argue, and wonder—because in the end, survival may be the greatest triumph of all.

Bits of Me in Video
I kind of take after a car my dad used to have. He had a Rambler. I ramble a lot. Some say I have a funny sense of humor. Some say I’m just weird. I think the latter comments probably closer to it. Either way, here’s a page of videos that’s growing by the week. If I can maintain the pace. It’s little bits and pieces of me on video. Check it out for your viewing pleasure. And yes, this page is redundant. I have placed many of the pages here on other pages where they apply. How’s that to confuse you?
You think I’m wacky now? Look back then.
In 2014 I got a burr under my ass. I grew my hair long and had a big beard. Over all that was a pretty wild time altogether, stories for another day. During that time I made a series of videos that I put on YouTube. They were political, dealing with the situation as it was then. It might be entertaining, enlightening, or just weird. Anyway, enjoy. I think they’re funny, anyway,
