Official Thread of Things You Never Knew About Me w/ Assorted Anecdotes
Believe it or not, I’m an intensely private person, and extremely cautious about revealing certain details about my past (and present) for a multitude of reasons
For the last 12 years, I’ve been assembling a huge archive of over 400 YouTube videos, countless photos, literally thousands of emails, and various other mementos from my early childhood, adolescence, and roller coaster ride to the present.
I’ve been blessed to have visited 43 countries, 38 states, and lived what I feel has been an eventful and full life. Plenty of ups and downs, but all things considered, I don’t have too many regrets.
That said, I plan on unlocking the proverbial treasure trove, and posting hand picked highlights on this forum. It’s a story worth telling that I’ve never shared before with not only my own family, but even my closest friends.
Up until now, I’ve only leaked out the occasional snippet, or uploaded a public video as a token gesture, but the reality is that only a small handful of people in this world know some of the things I’m going to reveal in this thread.
My intent is simply to archive it for my own benefit, and package it methodically instead of just sitting on this Mount Everest of raw content. Also, because it would be a shame to keep it all under wraps and never be seen or experienced via the written word.
I won’t bother delving into my early childhood I mean who really gives a fuck, but right about the time I bolted for Hawaii 3 days after graduating high school is a perfect time to kick off this party.
For now, I’m just going to list off a few noteworthy morsels as a teaser, and from that point on, post regularly with videos, photos, and short story style anecdotes and recollections of the past and present.
Rest assured, that everything you will see posted in this thread is factual to the best of my recollection. The items listed below are merely summations of tales I will explore in greater detail as this thread progresses
On that note, lets begin…
—————
#1)
In 1985 returning to Sacramento after over a year living in Hawaii, by an odd twist of fate I found myself deeply entrenched with a cell from the Cali Cartel operating on the west coast. For a period of over 6 months, I was regularly running kilos of pure cocaine from LAX to Sacramento. I was one of 3 mid level distributors for most of northern California
#2)
In 1995 at my first (and last) Grateful Dead concert at the Cal Expo Amphitheater, I got so high on mushrooms that I stripped down naked wearing nothing but my socks in the parking lot, curled up next to the main exit under a tree as hundreds of deadheads filed out. My last recollection of that trip was my friends mother having a meltdown when she found me curled up in the fetal position under a pile of dirty laundry on top of their basement pool table
#3)
In 1992 on the island of Kauai at Hanalei Bay while swimming in heavy surf, I got caught in a strong current and drifted so far offshore, that I resigned myself to certain death. For nearly 6 hours I frantically tried to get closer to shore, but found myself in the open ocean. The two cruise ship passengers I was escorting on a day trip had reported me missing, and as the sun prepared to set, I was spotted by a U.S. Coast Guard crew and rescued nearly a mile from shore
#4)
In 2018 on my final voyage as a merchant mariner, I jeopardized a sensitive joint military escort operation bound for the Straits of Hormuz. The ship was crewed by Greek special forces and several top brass from the U.S. Navy tasked with shadowing an American oil tanker. I directly caused the entire operation to be put on hold while we were preparing to sail from the island of Malta
#5)
in 2016 while in the red light district called ‘Green Street’ in Pusan, Korea..I was abducted by an arm of the Chicago mob operating an international sex trafficking ring of Ukrainian and Russian prostitutes. I was bound to a chair for over 2 hours and threatened at gunpoint. I was mistakenly suspected of being an informant and grilled relentlessly by some heavy hitters before finally being turned loose when they realized it was a case of mistaken identity. Easily the most terrifying experience of my life
