Just Living

Today I got an email from someone that I haven't seen in over 10yrs. I actually have been searching for them online for some time. I emailed someone I thought might know them, and guess what? It was her!

In 1998 or so ABC PrimeTime contacted me because when I was 19 Diane Sawyer interviewed me because I was a street kid hanging out in Paranoia Park. I don't remember this ever happening even though its on tape and I have watched it several times.

Severn saved my life once. I was all twacked out in Las Vegas and really sick. She pulled some strings and got me a plane ticket home. I owe my life to many, but Severn Sandt and Randy Heide are the two I remember.


I start my pre apprenticeship classes on the 11th. I think I am going to be a heavy equipment operator or some sort of Green Building Tech. Not sure yet.

I finally got my driver license. That was particularly amazing to me.

I have been depressed often, still held back by the local bootblack community (fuck you Dylan, I did my best, and continue to do the right thing and you still treat me like shit) Passive-aggressive I know, but he wont take my calls or return my emails.

I continue to be thankful.

Tomorrow is solstice and I get to see iZuke, my son. The main reason I am alive today.
