Tommy's Story
Remember me-aka elmo or needle? ok-can't be know as needle any more -gained a few lbs (weigh 238)-have made some mistakes-ok made some incredible blunders- hope you can see past that-not a bad guy-just sometimes stupid.-I was arrested in '03, and subsequently sentenced to 15/5-did 4 of the 5, paroled 1 year early, did that year on parole, and now doing the 15 on probation: lived in atlanta 30+ years, married 3 times - guess I couldn't get it right- was production manager for Ga Tech print facility 5 years, in printing 26 years, did a little this-a little that in other jobs-from construction to personnel mgmnt- now am dispatching for taxi co in Atl-have 19 year old son, just trying to get through this bump in road until I can go to bigger, better things (career - wise as well as in personal life). Still comedian around those who know me well- still do artwork ( portraits, still life, nature scenes).
I always wanted to be a pilot when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a great idea. As it turns out, they were wrong: 4-f classification-heart murmur from childhood disease (have since outgrown)-
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Lilly Clay, because I saw her at a store 1 day, and was too shy/unsure to approach her-mezmerized by that still dazzling...Expand for more

Life has been full of strange surprises
As Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead) said " what a long strange trip it's been".
A little reticent to have people see my story, but hope those curious will be ones who will look beyond present circumstances and allow me to be a friend, and to be a friend also: But, you might as well know the "real skinny"- for those so inclined, you can go to ULC (Universal Life Church), become a member-dont have to adhere to any particular idealogy-we are from all walks of life-read blogs in "just another opinion" and "forever in chains" forums, or click on my ULC username-lightfoot-to read my specific blogs.
I have many interests-major one I'm indulging now is websurfing, blogging, and internet bus. opportunities.I hope all is well with everyone, and that you will allow me to be friends.
I am now in my 2nd year dispatching for Checker Cab Co. in Atlanta, the busiest and biggest taxi operation in Atlanta. It is extremey hectic, and I hope to secure more meaningful position in the near future, my age (60), criminal backgroung and economy notwithstanding. When you read of my background, I ask you not to be too judgemental-remember, all is not always as it seems.
I hope all is well with everyone, and that you will allow me to be friends.
peace,love, tj
