  4. ww2, was cool......

    boats are cool

    aversion therapy doesn't work supposedly

    my dad did some stupid things in his life, he's evil and bitter now, he used to be coolish, but I don't think I would have personally liked him even at his best.....

    my grandfather is just about the same story, he just wrote down his interesting stuff, I need to transcribe it......

    My dad used to smoke crack. And he had this friend who lived in the woods and shot up smack so much that his right arm rotted off.

    Jesus fucking christ, I hope you were being sarcastic because other then the fact that he got to travel a lot it sounds like your dad had a real shitty life up to 17.

    What? Having your family lose all of their money, your father turn into an abusive drunk, travelling on a ship for six months with a captain that beats you with a fire poker, getting your wrists beat with bamboo for not knowing how to pronounce words, and losing two fingers would all be cool if I didnt live a sheltered life? Well damn, I guess I need to get out more.

    Heheh, my dad has an interesting history too. I'm sure he could write a book about it (and one of his old hobbies is writing, so he could pull it off), but typing it all out and remembering is a pain in the ass.

    To put most of the key points together:

    He rode a motorcycle, got in some wrecks, got in plenty of fights that he didnt start, got kicked out of catholic school for that, went back and graduated, got married and had kids, got sucked into Vietnam, came back to find his wife with some other guy, got a divorce and started raising his two daughters as a single father. About that time, he realized that he needed a career so he went to school to become an electrician. He got in the newspaper for wrestling a bear, got his schooling done, started working for General Motors in flint michigan as an electrician. 10-15 years later, he met my mom, got married and had me.

    Yeah, now he's a conservative who works too much.

    My Dad went into the Navy in 1037 because, as he said, he was too dumb to teach, too proud to preach, and too lazy to plow. He served in the US Navy for 32 years and was in WWII and Korea. His oldest son, my half brother was in the USMC and was killed in Korea. My Dad started out as a gunner but was wounded in WWII and could not lift heavy shells anymore. They offered him the choice between getting out and changing jobs, so he went to school and became a cook. He got several awards and decorations during his time in the military. The biggest one was for volunteering to sail on an oil tanker that had been hit with a 500 lbs bomb. They could not remove or disarm the bomb at sea so a small crew sailed it back to Pearl Harbor. He was a good men and I miss him a lot.
