Hi Monica,
Thank you for the invitation. My name is Mike, I have been a member of AdlandPro Community since May 28th, 2005. Good memory, huh? Actually, I had to check my profile because I forgot. My beautiful wife Shirley and I are originally from Massachusetts. We weren't married back then however began to scheme, I mean make plans. Shirley is my third wife. I've never played Baseball so the three strike theory didn't work. Shirley also is a member of AdlandPro Community and is well liked by many. As for me, some like me, some don't and others are still confused about me. It takes a lot of constipation to figure it out. I mean, concentration. Boy, that was a strain. It's kay, I feel better now. I don't have that many hobbies although there are a couple things that I enjoy doing. Breathing and eating. I find that I live better that way. Perhaps I shouldn't be so serious. By the way, congratulations for having so many people post here. I don't get that many that respond to my posts.
Okay, my wife has been suffering with Epilepsy since she was fourteen. She is now 59. (Time for a newer model, heh,heh,.) Back in the late 70's as she was working in a factory she sustained a slipped disc and has two still rods to keep her spine together. She had one son by her ex-husband (He was ugly as sin, her husband, not her son) Her son was born with Downs Syndrome. In 1984 in the middle of January she was struck down by a car while she was crossing the street on the cross walk sustaining a lot of injuries including a broken right leg, broken in six places below the knee. The reason that I am putting all this down is to show how GOD creates miracles. We were both married to monsters. With all of the pain that Shirley was already feeling, her husband would beat her four times a week so that she would remember WHO THE BOSS WAS. My wife of 17 looooooooooong years played mind games to the point that being the youngest of ten children I lost the respect of all my brothers and sisters.
Now, we will take a Quantum Leap Forward to April 1987. I was on the verge of having my sixth nervous breakdown and decided in stead to get as far away as I could get. I took a bus to Indianapolis. I had trouble finding work, I was often drunk and for a time homeless. Shirley came to be with me on December 22,1988. December 21,1988 is the last time that I have had a drink. This is going on twenty years without alchohol in my system and not missing it one bit.
Shirley and I both write poetry. In april of 2003 Shirley received a letter from Emerald Records in Nashville, inviting her to attend an up-coming Award Show as she was being nominated for Silver Poet/Songwriter. She has graduated to vocalist. During this time I developed M&S Public Relations and have since been told by Mister Cliff Ayres that M&S Public Relations is the official Mid-West Talent Promoter for Emerald Records. Our main mission is to help deserving artists get the recognition that they deserve while at the same time not getting Ripped Off by the Sharks in the business. Shirley was and we are still working on getting her material back. We do charge a fee but it is much less than others in our field. We are now connected with Producers, Promoters, Distributors, and several Record Labels. We Promote only music that can be enjoyed by the whole family. We will not tolerate songs filled with dirty language or artists that display lewd gestures during their act. We are doing our best to restore decency.
I love everyone, regardless of race, creed, or anything else. Each of us is an individual, not a Label or a Mick. (I can use that term, because I'm half Irish.) I enjoy humor so long as it does not hurtful to others. I was born Catholic, raised Catholic and still am Catholic. That does not make me any better than anyone else. I believe in GOD but do not believe in MAN. It was man that translated the Bible to His liking. I have friends that belong to many other religious sects, and will never tell them that they are wrong. No matter what your belief is, there is a simple rule to follow GOD. Follow your heart. If you are about to do something that causes you to have a heavy heart, chances are you shouldn't do it. When a man makes the comment that Women are the weaker sex, I ask that man how long he can carry a baby in his stomach while at the same time develop a milk factory to nourish that child. I am strongly apposed to any man that feels that He has to beat his wife or girlfriend to show her whose BOSS. Finally, I believe in Truth. I ant the Vatican to release the twenty-eight plus books that are locked in the Vaults that should have been included in the Bible, I want the United States Government and other governments to release the evidence on file proving the existence of life on other planets, I want ours and other governments to come clean about the dozens of Class Four Labratories that are and have been in existence for decades in various locations in International Waters.
My views may not be popular with everyone, however there are enough people that will agree with me. However, I respect those that do not because if we all thought exactly the same, ours would be a very dull existence. Monica, I'll bet your sorry that I came by now.
GOD BLESS YOU
Mike
