Flint's Story
the simple fact of "remember" is significant in itself"
i used to drink. if that didn't work, i'd scream, holler, have a tantrum. then i joined AA and have joined the ranks of the mellow. today i'll go fora motorcycle ride or simply sit still, keep my mouth shut, and enjoy the silence!
wild? i don't think i knew the meaning of the word back then.
anyone who does a simple kindness without expectation of return. so there are many, usually anonymous. anyone who sacrifices to the benefit of others. today my inspiration comes from the traditions, principles, and steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
i am truly happy right where i am, doing what i am, and doing it with wife and friends. too i love the adage: "if you can't be with the one you love then love the one you're with."
i'm now 68. when i was 12, i thought anyone that old was extinct!
if i had a million dollars? i've actually been grateful to be poor! helps keep the ego in check.
where have i lived, why did i move? itchy feet, one step ahead of the law, school. i'm a vagabond so travel is part of my DNA.
my obsessions? now we're getting a bit personAl, yes? oh what the hell! my children, beautiful women, puppy dogs and all t...Expand for more
hings warm and cuddly. solitude; quiet. motorcycles.
what's been my biggest surprise in life: that i didn't die before aged 30 and that i'm actually serenely happy today.
dream home? i live in it. tiny (less than 1000 sq.ft.) small a-frame and two dome-like structures. it resembles a set of geometric male genitalia from the air. built by an alcoholic for his brother. they both had a sense of humor!
to mind my own business!! that unconditional love is the greatest gift.
dorm, yes. was even the so-called dorm parent one year in college, two years in grad school. greek system: no. campus life: those were good years!
career aspirations? hey i'm done with that stuff, happily retired.
my first crush? judy weeden where are you?
style? you want me to talk style? sheesh!! i don't remember what i wore back then. biker gear is what i wear today, much to the dismay (only occasionally) of my wife!
biggest victories in my lfe? staying alive long enough to get sober. would i do anything differently? no because it all got me to where i am today.
in ten years, i hope to be ALIVE!
what would be most surprising about me to classmates? hmmmm, that i'm a member of a motorcycle club.
