I'm just an Average America

 

I’m a bit at a loss for words to start my blog so I suppose I’ll just start writing and go with the flow. I grew up in a small town in northern California the youngest of six, we were poor but survived. My father worked many hours for little pay and by the time I was twelve I was making money on my  own in the summer mowing lawns, Hauling hay, whatever. I spent a lot of time with my older brother on the dairy milking cows, feeding, and just a lot of hard work. When I was fifteen I got my first tax paying job at Taco Bell I was not only a fry cook but I held the record for eating taco’s in one sitting. I was never a very good student back then I suppose partly because school was boring me to death but in retrospect I realize it was because in a big way I didn’t like being told what to do.

    When I was eighteen I got a job at the lumber mill where my father had been working for some years and as I would perform the monotonous tasks such as tailing off the finger joint machine, pulling chain, and tailing off the Back rip I would look at some of the guys who had been there twenty, thirty years and wonder if my life would be as uneventful as was theirs.

    By age twenty I ended up in Vegas visiting an older sister who was a pit boss at the Sands. When I walked into the place my country bumpkin self was overwhelmed with the lights, the noise, and the men in suits. Everyone looked like someone out of a movie. I took notice of the guys with class the ones in suits who pushed in there chair when they got up from the poker table.

     I had never been to a live show in my life so while I was waiting for my sister to get off work she wrote me a comp (complimentary ticket) to see the show at the Sands, it was Splash, a topless dance number, nothing vulgar, a nice show but topless none the less.

   I never left Vegas, I enrolled into a dealing school called IDS and by the age of twenty one I was dealing blackjack at a dive called Nevada Palace out on Boulder highway. In blogs to follow I will be telling a few more stories about things that happened in Vegas, some may blow your mind. I will continue this course of topic explaining a few events in my life leading right up to today where I will then turn my blogging specifically to the political corruption in the United States of America and what I intend to do about it
