Your Life/mylife

I guess, I don't understand your life more then you understand mine.

If you sat and thought about it. We are "two" different" senses complete.

My life. Well anywhere I go. There is gonna be like "30" people or so gathered around to watch me work. I know I have a show to do. I set up in 30 minutes. I sleep in the van on the way there, I wake and suddenly I am on stage.

Do you know how hard that is? 8am... Everyone standing around just to see you work?. Their heads are inches from my face. I'm not even awake. I am sure not "bragging" this is my life. And for the most part that sucks to me.

People say to me. Well you have that big of an attraction.. why aren't you rich? Simple to me.., let me give an example. Daytona Bike alone was a $1700 fee. Yes I shared it with Joe. We still had "gas", "supplies", alot really. Start thinking of this. They (the cut coins) sell for around $10 each. Profit maybe $5 each. Start counting how many I do a show. Every show I do, I make "hundreds". You have no idea the "crowd" I draw. Yet, I am always broke.

I got 5 kids I support too. Three live with us, two don't. Last show I came home with like $1000 profit. I paid some child support, bought groceries, a $109 weedwacker even. Roxann added what she made at work ($600 or so). I needed smokes. Today as she was at work.. I rounded up bottles. Pushed Sebastian the 2 miles to the store (4 there and back). I was already broke.

I can promise. I have met more "rock stars", "country stars", "tv stars", and whatever then anyone here. I PROMISE! I do this every week. Event promoters.. absolutely nobody in the country will match me there! If I am in a major event.. they will meet me. I don't even try. This is why I love Paul. He loves doing that chit. I don't.

Reminds me of an event I did at "Daytona Bike week". The dude was the "Sound man" for "David Allen Coe". Brought me into the sound booth, fed me beers.. all that.. Funny, to me. All the women took their tops off. I asked him.... "I said".. I heard Daytona was cracking down on that (remember I was in the sound booth. He said "look up there"? (pointed). He said "see those guys"? "Yes I said"? Daytona is like this. The cops or whatever want to stop it. The promoters don't. The "revenue", the money this makes is incredible. Nobody want's it to stop. Not even most cops. ALL are taught to look the other way.

Your Life...

Your life is a little more normal then mine.

You get up 8am, leave 5pm. Scheduled. You know when to work ,when to leave.

You know what your medical care is. I got nuthing. You know what you will be paid. I could wind up with thousands in debt, I could go on the hole. I never know.

Your Life/Mylife

Different. But we are all people. All somewhat the same,,,...

Gary :)
