My life started out simple, I was the son of parents from a middle class family, we were far from rich, but we had a good living. I grew up the youngest of four kids, my brother Kris was the oldest was five years older than me. He was your average bookworm, always had his nose stuck in a book or working on his schoolwork. Then there was Stacy, my oldest sister, she was four years older than me. She was like most blondes, had the drop dead looks that would make traffic come to a stand still on the interstate, but had the smarts of a deer in the headlights of a oncoming car. Next, is my sister Ariel she had the looks and brains of my brother and sister put together. She was the real deal, with the looks that would drop your jaw and the smarts to blow your mind. Even though she was only a year and a half older than me she taught me everything i learned as a child. We lived out in the country roughly seven miles from Turtle Creek in Cali. Every summer my brother, sisters, and I would all pack up and go stay with my aunt in Suki Bay in south Cali. The drive there sucked due to the four hour trip through Dark Walk Forest. The roadside was choked with wall to wall trees. with the occasional clearing where if lucky you would see deer and other forest creatures. We hated the drive but lusted for the reward of the blast of the cool ocean breeze and the sinus clearing smell of the waters of Suki Bay. God i missed it when i had to leave each year at the end of the summer it felt like it was leaving a piece of my heart behind, but till then i would soak up every ounce never getting my fill.
