This book has been too long in coming. I prolonged and procrastinated forever; but now the time has finally arrived for me to share this splendid book with the world. These are real-life situations and never before have you heard love, reality, motivation, inspiration, A-A, special occasions, life and death expressed in this way. The reader will automatically find their situations on numerous pages, and hopefully this book will inspire them to rise to the occasion. Hopefully the reader will be able to rebuild broken relationships, and give thanks to God. He is the one that made it possible for you to read this book right now (March 19, 2011).

Our journey began with the trail off the main street of which is Holmes Road. Along this particular street, we rode our bikes up and down the concrete hills in search of the path into the plains of the wooded area. There would be the beginning of our journey. Before then though, all I could think to myself while sitting idle on the porch was "Be no punk for no one - not the bees, nor the dogs that ran around in packs." Neither would the bullies deter me from the way I had set out to live.
