I just want to say that if there was anything I've ever said to offend anyone or any arguments that were never cleared of misty air lingering around on some of my threads, *I apologize to all*
In the last two years I started out larger then life and accomplished what I set out to do in completing my hang gliding training back in 09. I set out and told people how I wanted to have my own wing and have my own gear to fly and I made that happen too. The biggest thing I had on my list was to fly POTM, I talked to people on here about it for months and then I told people I was coming out to POTM.
It was kind of funny but most didn't really believe that and not because they didn't like me or thought I was BS's but rather because it would be a huge feat for someone who lives in Florida without a lot of money to just pack up and head 2200 miles across the country all the while driving an older car with almost 500,000 mile on it! Well guess what? I made that happen too.
I have come to what seems like the end of the line for me... Oh believe me I have done all I could in the past year and going above and beyond the call of duty if you will and to no success in making things better for myself so that I can continue flying and enjoying what I love the most, what all of us here love the most and for what all of us are here on the org in the first place, I don't need to say anymore about this because you all know what I'm talking about.
I'm at the lowest point of my life I've ever been in and never thought I would be here in this position let alone writing this as I am now to all of you.
I'm tired of spending a lot of hours living in my car only to take a shower at my Mother's home when I need too. I live on food stamps and have a piss pore part time job I help a private individual keeping the grass green (landscaping), I make a measly few bucks a week to stay alive. I have dozens of applications out there and have many replied from companies telling me they can't hire me or that I'm over qualified or some other excuse.
Maybe it's because I'm 46? maybe I look like someone who ran over their dog or maybe it's just because this economy is worse then we all think it really is?
Well I can say this, I have never had a problem getting work or having a job but again in the past two years something has put a stop against me like water trying to run over top of the great hoover dam! I don't understand it and have given up on trying to understand all of this mess.
I owe money I can't pay back which I've never had this problem either! I owe someone on here some money who helped me out when I was in Utah, who was very kind and didn't have to help me. Yes we might of had a couple of arguments, he didn't understand me and I didn't understand him so there was some friction but deep down I never meant any harm at all to this man and wanted to pay him back because I really care and owed him this much at least for helping me but in the past year this never came about and for that, if you are reading this (you know who you are) I am sorry. One day I will repay you and I'll do it with pride.
Anyway, I'm hoping to sell my stuff so others can enjoy it as I have enjoyed it.
It's all good quality and has been a proven hot seller in it's day.
And for those who dislike me due to conversations on here? I wish you all the best.
For those I've met in person? I can say that I really enjoyed our time together in the sky and wish you all the very best and smooth winds.
To all the new guys and gals coming up in this sport? Be safe, (safety first), Keep the faith and stay healthy so you can fly forever!.
I wish all of you here and especially SG for all his hard work too in making this place what it is today for all hang glider and PG pilots as we are all after the same thing.
Peace to all! again, I apologize for my sometimes snappy and rude gestures but please rest assure I have never been that way.
I'm ashamed at myself right now for letting myself get into this situation but I can only do so much as a human being.
I have no came to the conclusion and believe that bad luck really does happen in the life, I've just experienced it and if it's not about luck then I can only assume it's something greater keeping me where I'm at in life right now for other reasons only to be found out when I leave this planet as we know it.
You don't have to reply here, I'm not sitting back anymore watching who replies and what they say out of curiosity to this thread, this is not meant for conversation. I'm just letting you all know I'm sorry for anything I may have upset you with and that I enjoyed my stay here for whatever that's worth.
With that in mind, Peace and God Bless you all.
