Hello and welcome to Shorty’s world. This blog serves a lot of motives like most blogs and social networks, to connect, get educated, share thoughts and ideas, celebrate, morn….I can go on and on. But it also serves as an outlet for myself. So I decided to start this blog on a very important day to most Americans, SUPER BOWL SUNDAY!! Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Green Bay Packers. Great game, really close, but the Packers took it home 🙂
Anyway, the Super Bowl didn’t really have anything to do with me starting it today, I just happen to start it today…lol….ha that sounded redundant. Anyway, I wanted to take the time to introduce myself (as I watch a new episode of Glee and their new Chevrolet commercial) . I am a Bay Boy, born in Berkeley California and grew up in the city of Richmond California. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area is awesome, it’s like 7+ cities all in one…all with their own identifiable character and people. I grew up with very young parents (They were 15 when they had me) and went through some tough times with my parents, but I couldn’t have asked for better parents. After 30 years, ups and downs, happy times and terrible times, they have managed to raise 3 awesome kids and now they are spoiling 2 beautiful and great grandkids (Nope neither of them are mine, im just the cool uncle) and have taught me that family is first and that no matter what happens, u can get through anything with determination, street smart, preparation/planning and charisma.
I love music, I sing, play piano, drums, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet learning guitar and bass. I love to write, mostly short stories and poetry, I love the arts. Love to travel, been to Brazil, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Iceland, Kuwait and Iraq….the last two was for military Deployment. Yes I am in the military, I am in the Army, currently in the Army National Guard right now waiting for an assignment to go back Active Duty, I’m hoping Japan (cross your fingers). Anyway, Glee is over and it was great and I hope you tune back in tomorrow for what adventures and trouble Shorty gets into. Tomorrow I will share some of what Shorty went through in 2010….
Peace, Love n Blessings Baby!!!

Sunset in Iraq....last year (2010)
