Roy's Story

"On dark night in the middle of the day two dead men got up to fight. Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard the noise and came and shot those two dead boys. If you don't believe this lie is true, ask the blind man who saw it too." I was born. I don't remember much about it. I am told I was there, but it escapes me what happened then. I grew up. At some point I played in the sand and I had a tricycle. It was red and looked like a fire truck. I remember these things because I have pictures that claim they happened. According to old pictures, I went to Disney World when I was five or so. So of course, I have to assume these things must have happened. I was a teenager for a while. I remember a couple of things that happened them. I used to drive a white Volkswagen Beetle. I had crushes on dangerous girls who were nothing but trouble and didn't have any use for me accept as a friend. So I turned out okay. I got married and had two great kids. The marriage part didn't turn out so well, so I got divorced. I met this girl who had a lot in common with me and yet she had a lot that wasn't in common with me. We were alike enough and different enough for it to work...Expand for more
. Ones strengths were the other's weaknesses and vice-versa. We have a beautiful child too. So now I have three beautiful children who make me proud to know them and allow me to be a part of their lives as they grow up and become people who are a heck of a lot more interesting than I ever was. I have driven cross-country. I went to school to learn how to work in a recording studio with dreams of building my own studio in my home. This never happened as life and bills ate into my dreams. I went to college after trying a couple of times. I completed a degree in Computer Science and I have been working with computers for a living for over 12 years. They are more interesting than I am. With my wife and kids I have formed and found new dreams and they are exciting and great. One of the passions I have found over the years is hiking. I am working on hiking the entire Appalachian Trail one week a year or more at a time. I have covered nearly 300 miles of the AT. I have over 1800 more to go. But I will finish it one day. Life is as good as it ever was. And it keeps getting better. God has been with me over the last few years and I work hard to keep my faith strong. The stronger my faith, the better things seem to go.
