Paul D.'s Story

10-08-08 I have reversed the previous physical problems and continue to improve. I am currently in the developement stages of creating an engine that will not burn fuel or need to stop for any type of recharge. New technologies are available, today, that fell into the fantasy category in times *past. I put my car restoration on the back burner until I finish the engine. The whole world needs this new engine. My group has raised more than 600 million dollars to pursue the future of reciprocational motion machines. Cars, trucks, planes, generators, agrigulture pumps, any place a petroleum burning motor is needed, we plan to replace that technology with clean, green running, air cleaning technology that will reverse a great deal of the damage caused by past generations. *Zero point modules, Magnetic motors that run without the need of external electricity or battery. Tiny Air Compressors that have outputs that exceed that of machines one hundred times larger than the machines of the past. Lightening fast networking capability that will privide real time communications with the support needed to provide the safest possible operation without dropping off the face of the planet. The future IS bright, don't forget your shades!! 2006 I am collecting parts for my car. I have proven to be a force to be reconed with on eBay. If I see something I want, I get it and I can be ruthless to obtain it. I shall have to dub my car, "The Car that eBay built!" Because I have purchsed more than five grand in parts thus far. My goal is to finish the car before my 53rd birthday. 12/2005 I bought a New project Car, a 1964 Valiant Wagon. I'm going full tuner this time. In the past I have built Bracket cars and raced them, all that ended when they closed Baylands/Fremont Drag. Those of you who know me best will remember that the 64 Valiant was my first car, had a 2door, slant 6, "three on the tree." Never lost my love for that car, had one of every body style and engine over the years. Now I have gone full circle and have the last one I plan to own, ever! I have a new Phone number, send me a personal email and I'll tell you what it is. No Solicitations, Please! 09/11/200? I spend most of the day in remebrance of those who died on this date in infamy. I lost three family members in plane crashes and one in the WTC buildings. 04/04/06 I have 43,000 miles on the S10 now. The cruise control makes that happen. I had a kindey stone, Christmas 2003. Then I had my Appendix removed in sSeptember 2005. Arthrascopic Surgery, WHAT A MIRACLE! For those not currently living in California, it is raining. March was the wettest month in American recorded history. Twenty-five days of rain, the previous record was set in MArch of 1906, Twenty-Three days! School My Biggest crush, when I was a freshman there was this girl named Lynn Bucksten. Conrad Walla was the most inspirational teacher for me. If I could do it over, I would ...Expand for more
pursue Computers with a passion. I would accept the scholarships that where offered me. I would have married the right girl, she knows who she is. And today I would own the company that is the number one threat to Microsoft. College Yeah right! Ohlone College, I majored in Drama and minored in Billiards. Four years later I attended Sequoia Automotive Institute and graduated their Diesel Program eight months later. I was #2 in the class I returned to school in 2003 (University of Arizona, On-line) which drained all my money in four months, I am still paying for it. And THAT was just matriculation. Workplace I work full time for a garbage company repairing the trucks that collect. The benefits and the pay are improving all the time. I have a large working knowledge of hydraulics, electrical, welding and fabricating, diesel engine repairs and air brake systems. Recently my Company hired a new Supervisor to over-see the shop operations. What a difference one good man makes. I was all set to leave this job when along comes this dynamic Individual who turns things around and improves my job every day. All I have to show for 17 years of hard work is a tool box and tools worth $181,000. It is a cold or hot (Depending on the time of the year)nasty smelly, disgusting job. Is it very dangerous, one wrong move or mis-communication and you are dead. These trucks exert over ten tons of pressure and we have had employees cut in half, crushed and mamed or dead instantly. Marriages do not last in this profession. Ninety percent of all Garbage Industry related marriages end in divorce. And some of these people have been married more than three times already. I used to hate this job but now things have improved, and continue to improve, so much that I am now comfortable with the idea of retiring from it. Even though the job has cost me three relationships with women that I dearly loved. I tried to return to school and get out of this job. BOY! Was that an expensive experiment. In the questionaire, on this site, it asked; What would you change if you could do high school again? I would have persued what is my passion and hobby today; Computers! I would have married that beautiful girl who loved me without question and we would still be married today because I would give her everything her heart desired. I would have pursued only that which I wanted from life and told my Father to butt out of my life and let ME live it and not taken the path he forced my to take. And lastly, I would never have climbed onto a motorcycle. I would have two good eyes today if I hadn't. Military The Military wants you to have two usable eyes. I lost the use of my left eye at 19 years of age. They said they wanted me to carve my wieght from 242 lbs, after weight traing and losing 100 pounds already, all the way down to 223. I could not do it at only 6% body fat. They labelled me 4F and that was that.

I have decided on a New Years Resolution! I’m going to do all I can to reduce the number of pills I have to take, every dammed day!
Remember, never try to eat a battery cable!
