"JUST who in the ##@@%% do YOU think YOU are??!!"

Well, I shall enlighten you on the question of to Who the #@#$%^I think I am. To begin with, I am a human, much to the surpise of some. I was just barely born to start with. My mother had my brother then a miscarrage, then me, then a miscarrage and then my sister. Not only was I almost deleted before I even got started I wound up as the middle child. Oh yea me, stuck in the middle, sounds like a song title or something. Anyway, there I am, in the middle. If any of you are a middle child then you know what that means and for those of you who are the first or the baby, BITE ME!!

I have been everything from a soda jerk to an office manager. From a punch press operator to an Tupperware manager. From a Jewel Tea man to a minister. From a aircraft handler to an accountant. I have gone to college and I have been in the Navy.

I believe in God and I gave my life to Jesus. I am not a fanatic in no sense of the word. I deal with MY religion the way I deal with it. I was a minister and stopped being one because I believe if you are the teacher then you should live the way that you are teaching others to live. As I am only human, as I mentioned in the beginning, I fall short of the devine walk by many steps. Oh, i still will perform weddings if asked and I will sit and counsel if asked. But I feel that everyone has the right to their choice and the way that they want to worship, rather it be in a building or in their heart. So, there you go.

I feel the same about politics to point. I am registered as a Democrat, the key word is registered. I am one that hates to be pigieon-holed into anything. I vote the way I think, feel or wished things should be. I will get in your face so quick when I feel I am being attacked in stupidity. I am an American, I am a Veteran. If I do not vote the way you think I should and you tell me that I don't care about this country, or that if I say i am against the war (to which I am very much so) that i am against the troops, then stand by...and ready yourself to hear, see and feel the wrath of Brad. I stand behind the troops you dumb asses, it is the war I am against. I would do anything for the troops, even re-enlist if I could. SO BACK OFF!!!!! Gay people, yeah, i love em.....nuff said.

Now i drive a truck, I have been doing so for the past 25 years. I have driven everything from a six-wheeler to 24-wheeler. From envelopes to cranes and everything in between accept live-stock. I have recieved many safe driving awards and have driven way over a million miles. I have never gotten a ticket and I drive legal. So when some idiot tells me how to drive and that they know best and that the closest that they have ever been to a truck is if they pass one then I get a little off nerve. I am not saying that I know it all because I do not. I learn everyday. But I also know what I am capable of and what my truck is capable of. So do this, do that, be there then and do it now or else...well, you have no clue of what "OR ELSE" means and I would tell you but "YOU can't HANDLE OR ELSE!!!!" I do my job and I get the freight there and I get it there in one piece. Let me stop right here and say that I do not do this alone. My wife, Ruth Ann, is my team mate and she drives also. So, it is not I, it is WE. Anyway, We do out job, and we don't need any wanna be MR. I AM THE BOSS upsetting our little apple cart.

So, just who the #@$#@ do I think I am...I am just a guy that makes his own decisions on how they best suit me. I know that I make rash, quick decisions but that is me. I judge on first impressions, right or wrong, that is me. If you find yourself in my little nitch consider yourself special. Not that I am special, it is you that I find special and unique. There is something about you that I do not want to let slip by and want you as a friend, relative and or a companion. I am not all cold and hard, I do have a heart. I am not easy to get to know and a lot of people who think they know me are not looking at the "BIG PICTURE". I have been waiting a long time to use that phase....it is so stupid it is funny. Anyway, there you go...ME.


You all be safe..............later, Brad
