Born At Henley Beach Adelaide in the year 1943 .

Lived at the beach side suburb of Henley absolute beach front
My parents adopted me and told me at an early age . It was ok .
They were good people
My father was from the country and came to Adelaide to better himself
I loved my parents but had some afflictions like asthma and being FAT .
Not sure which made which anyway we had an Uncle a doctor and Mum was a nurse .
We moved up to the hills when I was 7 . Dad built a house it took a while .
Our temporary accommodation was a shed the walls were made of flattened oil drums hard times.But most memorable . Great memories not really hard .
Did not like school at all but years later went to SCU as a mature age student and did a degree in media loved that . Uni had coffee carts and a bar .
Media is my passion now . I want to connect and am building a email list.
The reasons are many I have something to offer it's not just about selling .
I don't need to make six figures or drive Lambo . Although I could do that .
I am now living a quiet life in a great city Bangkok the city of angels .
Remember when I was young there were no smart phones no TV's and no computers .
There was radio and that was a great medium allowed one's imagination to roam. We had serials . The "Air Adventures of Biggles " was a favorite.
I was a chef for many years and that was something I really liked feeding people . Plus I like to eat too.
Then late in the day/life I became a Farrier Blacksmith bit of a change , still cooking But steel instead of food and with coke in a forge not on a gas range .
Working with horses was a great time looking back I don't know how I did it so hard . I absorbed energy from the horses .
One thing was I learned to co-operate with the horses not fight them . They liked me .There was no fear or anger around them . I could read them too their body language told the story . I knew what they were thinking . And most times that was nothing much .Like most animals they live in the Present . For that I thank them it's the only time there is .And just to add when you are under 800 pounds of animal muscle mass with a hammer and nails it's all Now .
I guess I did some whispering . Horses are very sensitive can feel a fly land on their back .Contact is the way to go .Let the horse feel you rub against him . That way he doesn't get a shock and react .
looking back those days spent at the local horse racing tracks were amazing and full of learning .I never gamboled the sport of kings .
I had gotten married had three children two strapping boys and a super sweet girl . Now they are all over thirty and have lives of their own .
Time passed and we moved on they did their education and a couple got married I am now a grandpa.
It was about 2004 and my eyesight was going and shoeing was becoming hard to do . I had eye surgery removal of cataracts . A miracle I could see clearly like never before .
I was semi retired but at my daughter's suggestion I enrolled for a media Degree as SCU.Lismore
I filled out the forms as best I could . My last school was over 50 years ago . I did pass matric at Unley High in South Australia .
I was accepted wow . It was hard at first and I almost gave up .
Giving up was not an option it was harder than going on . I now know I have developed a Warrior mindset.
Early in the piece I did feel out of place among all the recent high school students .
My eyes were not so good . The reason I stopped shoeing . I went to an optometrist . As said earlier .. I had surgery.
Turned out it wasn't glasses I needed I was getting cataracts . I had the eye surgery .
Now I had to brace myself and the approach was slow . It was a while to the appointment .
This is going to be done under a local anaesthetic . In the end it was easy and less traumatic than the dentist.
The result was amazing a miracle . They did one eye at a time . The colors and just watching TV was a mindblowing psychedelic experience .
I became a top student and graduated with honours . Something that has been a great support to me and taken me places I would not have imagined . Confidence boosting, I can do it and it taught me "I know I can " . I remember the lecturers . I loved Uni . There was a bar . Coffee carts .
I live in Bangkok now and moved here ten years ago . It suits me to the ground .. A condo on the 23rd floor air conditioned and has fiber optic internet very fast and not expensive .
I plan to do some more travelling and Bangkok is central to a lot of destinations . Planning to go to Taiwan and the Philippines plus do some cruising .
At last the online thing is taking meaning for me .Glen Campbell died today . I liked his songs "Witchita Linesman" I hear it singing in the wires ...and now it's fibre optic for me light speed .
