A Journey to an unamed destination - The Early years
Where does my journey begin ?
Does it begin when I began alter serving or maybe when I began to live by myself?
I don't think it did when I was first born all those years ago, I grew up with two sister a mam and a dad who always seemed to work. I was the first the big brother funny that how I'm the last to actually settle down and still waiting to do that. I remember at times my sisters being really nasty to me. One particular time one through a dart at my head cant remember why, I'm sure i have been a little different ever since lol
I don't really remember much from being a kid, though one memory drains through my mind and that is wanting to be a stuntman and I used to jump off a bmx while it was still moving. There was what I like to call the star wars effect, was there ever a kid without them stars wars figures you know when they were cheap to buy. i think I cant given them to me by a cousin and think they are still in the loft back at my mams.
At some time in my youth I discovered going to church I think that's where my non violence and non war stance took hold. This over the years has gripped like nothing else all I will say is just don't get me started on it. You see I'm very much don't really care about the politics but in some countries or should I say most countries. People are dying in wars they don't understand how can that be right ?
I'm became an alter server, some of the highlight were serving in Lourdes, doing any Easter mass, teaching young alter servers,Christmas Mass especially midnight mass and how magical it was. I was a server from when I was about ten all the way through to about 25. There were good moments and bad moments and that was pretty much my life through my teenage years. I helped out and summer fairs at one point being a sort of DJ though this did not involve jumping off any bikes lol. Through the church i discovered life death and the universe.
But this is not a natural teenage life, I don't care what anyone says. one other interest that has stayed with me since my teenage years is the paranormal. Yep all those things that go bump in the night and this was long before most haunted, the thing is having a catholic faith and an interest in the paranormal always tend to conflict with each other. Mainly cause really as far I know I should not be interested in stuff that goes bump in the night. Sometimes i wonder if there is something there who keeps wanting to show me its there cause every now weird things will happen the last being seeing an image of a boy just outside where I am now.
And show that's the early years, yeah a quick run through but soon find out why I helped my sister convert to a muslim, my issues with church services and my thoughts on the catholic faith ?
peace and love out there guys
