BORN TO BE FREE

Lets see where should I start?

All my life since small I had this feeling of traveling the world to see as much as I can see almost as if I know that life is short and away's felt that I was given the gift of life and it was going to be short.

I have the feeling that if I could even make it to 100 it would be like a blink of an eye.

I join the army at 18 thinking that this was a way for me to travel the world and be useful to my country.

But it became a shock to me seeing others suffer and felt that I had to help but didn't know how at the time? so I let it rest in my head for years, and lived a so called family life being still unhappy and making those around feel the same way.

Looking for answers to this dilemma it be came apparent to me faster then I could think!  others around me made the decision for me.

My motorcycle was stored and waiting for me, I washed and cleaned it and started running it a bit longer each day till I found that I was spending more time on the streets then in the house.

I know when I ran out of places to go! that I would leave the USA .

I spent time in Germany when in the army and riding there was nice with the castles and sonic roads and the nice country side but being born in Puerto Rico and grown in the USA I just could never get over the frost bit hands.

So thinking warm I move to a place that I felt I had to go! The island of Puerto Rico where the palm sway and the wind was warm at night and day for most of the part.

Still I have forgotten how small the Island was until I ran out of places to see and found myself doing circles day in and day out around the Island, It was time to go..

I then felt Florida would nice and since last time I was there Disney park was just a half a day tour.

circled by swamp water.

I got there just in time for bike week in March and it was cold. As I walked main street looking at things that were for sale I felt that there was something missing? turning things over I felt I was looking at the something I had seen all over the world it said made in Japan or China ? Ya there was things that were hand made but at a high cost. seems that we had stopped working with God given hands due to the blue tube.

I am not saying that all is this way but man look at your homes! most are made of compress wood with molded tiles with paper walls painted white.

I spoke to an old man once and he was good with his hands and I asked him if he would teach young one's what he knows's before he dead and he told me no! I can not because today's kids don't want to learn to work with there hands.

Six months later his wife called me and said that he had told her to leave me his tools.

I polity said I could not and to sell them if she could, I could not even tell her when asked if I know anyone that knows how to use them!

Florida kept me for about 10 years and I had to hit the road again now my mind was south but I had visited Mexico when I was in Fort Hood in the seventy's and it was nice back then when to cross the border cost only a dime and the show of your drivers lic.

But now the bandits run the borders to cross and if you look good allot of things there say China or Japan made.

I went farther south and came to a place that seems to be in the 1940 USA look alike with the wild wild west feeling of lawlessness and growing fast in crime.

Here are so many without food or work that the air is full of ashes from cooking on wood to burning of sugar cane to export. I have to wash the bike everyday if take it out of the trailer I lock it up in.

There is little the people could do except work with there hands here.

I felt as if there must be a way to help with the sales of there proud hand made trinkets and clay pots of all kinds not to include the clothing with lots of color and shapes that takes them so long to make.

Natives of the old Mayan times still beleaving in papa sun and mama moon to pray to.

being slowly rub off the world by cruption and greed.

I have been a member of ebay a long time but only used it to buy now and then and more then now.

I started to read allot which is something hard for me to do! on Ebay and still is! It will take time to feel at home in ebay in the hopes of starting an Ebay store.

Hope I don't mess it up by making a mistake and get booted out? who knows! all I can do is try and hope, there are those that understand and try and help,and not hurt for there own gain.

I am a Biker that rides a Harly FLHTC will away's be one! not much for wearing a tie and a white shirt.

Plan to stay here a bit and get things started.

I am hoping that with the sales I could leave a mark and smile on native kids and there familys in this country that are in need.

Wonder where I will go Next?  work my way down to Costa Rica if God permits me......
