Godfrey's Story

Life I haven't really done much with my life... I really didn't think I'd survive long enough to worry about it. Street fights in south Phoenix to rolling cars, to antagonizing Mexicans with guns. I've got scars to prove all the wild times. Shortly after graduation I looked into joining the Army. I spent almost a year doing tests, just because I had "Childhood" Epilepsy. The army moved at slow and I didn't have much in the way of patients. I called a Navy recruiter, it took 1.5 months to be on my say to the San Diego training center. I went through basic there, then got transferred to Long Beach. I was onboard The USS Fresno - LST 1182. This is the same ship that Jesse Ventura was stationed on. In the time I was aboard ship I seen 7 countries, and loved lots of women. During my time in LA I met Brett Michael’s and the members of Motley Crue, though I only partially remember it because I was drunk most of the time. I worked on the side for a few months as security at "The Waters Club" in San Pedro, CA. Seems every band to ever make it big from LA played at the waters club at one point in time. In January of 1989 I was discharged from the Navy for fighting. I came back to the Greenville area for a few months, only to leave again and head to Phoenix. I went there thinking I'd be a mechanic. That lasted about 2 months. Cars are a fun hobby, but not a career for me. I dropped out of school. I had an apartment and a job at an adult book store. I got to meet several porn stars and at that job, and collected autographs. That book was stolen... I’m still waiting to see it on EBay. I worked there till the place closed about 8 months later when the manager was busted for embezzlement. I worked for several fast food places, even made assistant manager, till I found a...Expand for more
job at as security at a bar. I left the job there to work in a Care Home. I met my son’s mother there. It was a live in position. We ended up living together there. I went from cook, to security, to activities director... I even worked along side some social workers and doctors to set up Activities programs at other care homes. I ended up becoming manager of 1 of the 2 facilities the owner had. This is where I was poisoned because someone wanted my job. Spent about 36 hours in the emergency room wishing I could die. While I was in the hospital this time. My live in girlfriend came to visit only to tell me she was pregnant and she was leaving. The state took 3 kids from her and she didn’t want to loose this one. 92’ I’m back in Illinois. I had dreams fame in music. I wrote songs and poetry and taught myself guitar. I’m still not famous. I did factory work, drove truck and sold cars for about 10 years. I survived to see 2000 roll in. By this time I’d been sober for 9 years. 1999 I started on computers. Within 6 months of owning one I was well on my way to mastering it. Funny how you learn faster when it’s fun. I learned the computer inside and out. Still learning and working on my own Graphics and digital photograpy. 2005 I was contacted my my ex and my son Josh. Hadn’t heard from them for almost 5 years. My son is alot like me and thinks he has the coolest dad... What more can you ask for? As for now, I’m looking into going to school and getting that Degree everybody wants. I’m Thinking business. Maybe streamline entertainment. I’ve been thinkin, if I put in 7 years I can be 45 with an MBA. By our 30th reunion, maybe I’ll have my degree and that awesome job I’ve spent 20 years chasing, My son will have a record deal. And all will be great in Whoville...
