The good Lord has only said one word to me my entire life that I am aware of. It is possible it occurred other times and I wrote it off as something else or someone else, but if that happened it is news to me. I’ve never heard voices in my head except for one time for a half second when I heard someone distinctly say my name while I was alone in a friend’s apartment attempting to detox off of opiates which means I was either detoxing or high as hell. There are many who want me to hear voices ...

My childhood home sits at the end of NW 63rd Ave in Gainesville FL. The address is 6715 NW 63rd Ave. When I was young, our zip code was 32606 but later it was changed to 32653.

"Miss Roach is a witch! And she eats roaches!" A 3ft tall girl screamed as she ran toward us from across the playground. I already knew Miss Roach ate roaches. Everyone knew she ate roaches! I did feel nervous at the mention of a witch being among us if that was the situation we were in.

By the grace of the good Lord on September 25th 1980 at 5:32pm EST in the University of Florida’s Shands Hospital, I was born unto the surface this Earth. My conscious mind cannot recall the weather on that day but I have always assumed it was beautiful; sunny with a cool pleasant breeze that has made its way through the thick humidity & heat of my home state. This is what the weather has been like in my home state on September 25th every year I can remember. The cool breeze which hasn’t been...
