This is an autobiography of a typical everyman (or woman, depending on your gender) growing up in a small town somewhere in America (or the world). I'm not a famous person, nor do I seek fame. There have been many a biography and autobiography written about and by a famous politician, athlete, celebrity, or sports star. But to my knowledge, only those everyday people who have had extraordinary things happen to them, either in triumph or in tragedy, has ever made it into bookstores, as the famous and infamous have held the advantage.
Because none of the people I will name know of this autobiography, I will hold back using their last names unless there is a need due to having many people of the same name featured. This story is not just an autobiography from the perspective of a man who grew up in a small town, but it also contains my personal thoughts regarding certain things that will often be highlighted throughout the autobiography. Please, as you read, keep in mind that any opinions or personal beliefs given by me are just that: opinions and personal beliefs. I have neither the will nor desire to upset the apple-cart by stepping on anyone else's personal beliefs.
