When I was young, Until I am old
I've been on this earth for 32 years now. Looking back at the road I have walked I think to myself "man it feels more like 64" mostly because of the events or choices I have made over these past 3 decades. Lets be real its more like 27 conscience years and with that I must say the reality of poverty, stress, anxiety, and fear of losing it all over that period of time is nothing compared to the possible future that lies ahead. I think fear of the past/future is a common state of mind and many people are plagued by it. I think that's where the root of my anxiety stems from.

Season of Cold
Breathing heavily in and out processing the events of the last few months. I close my eyes and imagine a warm embrace of the sun and the arms of a loved one who is no longer here. My breath visible to the naked eye as I stand embracing the snowfall on my face. Each snowflake touches my skin, reminding me of the time we turned snowfall into a playground. The cold air cuts through my jacket sending shivers down my spine as the sun peers through the clouds, reminding me that winter has arrived and I am alone.

The Cabin Near the Lake
Since I was young, my family and I would take a yearly trip up into the deepest parts of the Catskills. My parents owned a Cabin about a half hour north of Cairo, NY. We would typically go towards the end of the year to serve as our reminder to relax and the sights alone justified our purpose for a November getaway. The cabin sat on the edge of a large lake front and was directly in view of a beautiful mountain range with snow covered tops. The water was always peaceful and still yet full of fish and made for a great excuse to spend some quality time with my father fishing.

Skateboards and Slipknot
I think back in time on the daily bases. The smallest thing can spark a memory of something or someone that changed my life in different ways. One of which was a dear friend of mine named Bob. Bob and I had grown up in relatively similar ways. We were two faces of the same coin and as we grew up, it was apparent that our lives crossed paths in order to help support each other. Even though distance keeps us from seeing each other often, he was and always will be a big part of my life. Even now as adults with busy lives and tackling obstacles, we still find time to reach out and check on each other. He will always be the first friend that became family.

Site-17: The Beginning Verse Pt. 1
You know those stories your friends and you tell around camp fires? Or the scary tales of creatures going bump in the night? Creatures under your bed or in your closet ready to pounce at any moment and the feeling of fright washes over you as you run and hide from the worst. Well I hate to break it to you, but it's true, Boogeymen do exist just not in the forms you think they exist in. Contrary to popular belief these things don't always hide. Sometimes they are in plain site, watching and waiting. Sometimes you cant see them and at other times you interact with them on the daily bases.

The Smoke Jumper
Growing up was quite a challenge, I lived with my Mother and Sister mostly and my Father wasn't around after I had turned 8. Being at that age in the late nineties made me feel a little carefree and curious to which I need to thank my family for shielding me from the dangers of not just my surroundings but also my nightmares. However growing up through those times without a father made me feel rather empty at times. That was where my Grandparents stepped in and throughout the years, the combination of my Mom and my Grandparents helped guide me through some of the hardest times of my life.
