Robert's Story

Life- If you don't remember me, you may remember my parents. Both of which taught at Cigarroa. My dad taught at the HS, my mother at the MS. They and my sister are still down there. Me? I got the hell outta that dusty, hotter than hell, cliché of a south Texas town just as quick as I could... Life is good these days. Hate my job, but living out here in the Texas Hill Country, just outsida Austin is a dream come true. I've managed to land a little 1200 sq ft house just 5 block off Lake Travis and only a couple blocks from Willie Nelson's ranch- Luck Texas. I've made some incredible friends out here where everyone's quazzy famous and ridiculously talented. Life has made me very fufilled. I've done and seen a great many things. I've swung from the chandeliers and slept w/ the lions. Even settled down and I'm happily becoming plump and sedate, BUT I can't slow down enough to touch the ground. I live here, in Briarcliff, with my bud Gary and our two dog, three ferrets, slew of cats and all the other critters that call our, tad over an acre, home. We have a herd of over thirty deer that feed in our backyard. I'm an overzealous gardener with eyes bigger than my stomach. Slowly but surely I'm theming my yard to reflect the caribbean homes that I miss everytime I come home from vacation. I do love the caribbean! Speaking of vacation, I have bought into two vacation plans off the island of Sint Maarten in the Netherland Antilles (Dutch West Indies). It's absolutely incredible out there. Like Laredo by the Ocean; it's a desert of cactus and huisache just like back home, only the beaches are a paridise of coconuts palms and hibiscus and other tropical delights. Surrounded by multiple French & English Islands, Sint Maarten is half Dutch, half French. I spend most of my time on the Dutch side in Phillipsburg, but being only 32 sq miles, the entire island is a playground of brightly painted houses with Ducth inspired gingerbread dripping from the eaves.

ght into a yacht out there too. Took it out in the fall of '06 for the fist time. 44ft of catamaran on water of a teal blue that just can't be described. We sailed around Sint Maarten/San Martin island hopping to all the neighbors. Slept on deck a couple nights. Fell asleep warm on wine, counting stars, and watching the clouds blow past the moon. I highly recommend you get yer butt on a plane and see this part of the world if you have the means. Remember this, "Life favors the brave, and scorns the timid". I'm living these words. Live life big dammit! I've made some incredible friends in this life. I've lost most of them over the years. Life is finite. Grab what you can. Be generous with what you've got. Drag your friends out and make them live life w/ you. Don't wait. Do it now. Do it for those who never got the chance. Do it in their name. Beg God's forgiveness later... I hope to see you all again some day. School- High School was terrible. You people were for the most part horrible to me. All I wanted to do was graduate and get the hell outta Dodge. I wish I had better memories. Life really didn't start until after Cigarroa. But good things come to those who wait. Everyone thought I would go on to UT and make a big splash in the world. Life is funny though. I never could get funding to go to school there... So I ended up at LJC. Hating life and bitter, bitter, bitter, I flunked out my first semester and dropped out twice more. I picked up and move to Philli, and then to Austin- still thinking I might go to school, but never did. I found myself bartending and cooking at Central Market. Chef work and food service in general were good to me for years. I finally returned to the retail world, but life isn't done teaching me things yet. School? Life is the best school out there. The University of Texas at Austin has a lot to offer, but I have no regrets. I want to study music again. I want to explore my art. I just may do that yet...
