About Me

Let me start by letting you know that I'm dual diagnosed (Seven years clean)and a Wiccan . I live in a place called Day By Day a clean and sober house. But that is only part of my story. I was born in Philadelphia, PA. I grew up in a dysfunctional family (who didn't). Drawing and writing have been a part of my life since I was a child. I also paint watercolors and do origami now. My uncle committed suicide when i was young. I went to a Vocational Technical high school. My first year I studied drafting but went into the carpentry program after that. I was a problem child in high school failing twice (I did 10th, 10th, 11th, 11th somehow only passing English my first year.) before dropping out. I joined the U.S. Navy after that. I went to Boot camp in Great lakes (It's in the Chicago IL. area). From there I went to Italy ship I was stationed on (USS Belknap CG 26) was home ported in Gaeta Italy. I went to different places in the Mediterranean both with my ship and on my own. When I came home from the Navy I stayed in the Naval Reserves for four more years. I was stationed for my one weekend a month and week a year in Norfolk, VA. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, and I helped to take care of her. When her cancer had gone into remission. I stayed at home with her. A little while after that the house we where living in burned down. The fire killed my grandmother who was visiting at the time. The fire was also responsible for the death of a cousin. Because of complications from the fire (lung damage from smoke inhalation) my mother got pneumonia and went into a coma. After that my life seemed to go steadily down hill. After I spent time on the streets, in hospitals, shelters, recovery houses, an assisted living houses. I am now trying to rebuild my life on a firmer foundation. I'm not putting this here for you to pity me, but to help you understand my writing a little better, by having an understanding of where I have been.Blessed be )o(Peace out fellow humanoidsBasic infoName: Ismael Rodriguez Jr. Nickname: Izzy, Rod, Hot Rod DOB: January 22, 1969 Birth place: Philadelphia, Pa Nationality: American Heritage: Puerto Rican, Filipino, Italian, Irish Siblings: 1 brother and 1 sister Height: 5'9" weight: 220 Eye color: Brown Hair color: Dark brown Tattoos: Nine email: [email protected]
