Hello
HELLO
I am a 44 (WELL ALMOST 45 OK)former engineering and surveying assistant living on the south Texas coast. I came here nearly 3 years ago with my wife, and daughter.
We came here to escape the weather, attitudes of our home state of Oklahoma, and the stress of the current lifestyle of trying to obtain and maintain more and more "Stuff".
The peace and quiet of the sea has been healing.
..Following, you will find the words to Bob Marley's "Redemption songs". It has become my mantra.
..The greatest change in my and my familys lives, is the growing believe in the universal brotherhood of man, and the fact that race, sex, religion, sexual orientation, or political stance, does not allow anyone to disrespect, or to regard another to be less of a person because the individual is not living in the manner you feel they should.
..This freedom and extension of love to all permeates the music of Bob Marley. The freedom of living one's life on your own terms, and forced servitude of an individual is the theme of "Redemption Songs".
..It's subject is the kidnapping and sale of Africans in to slavery. I find this to be a type and shadow of the enslavement of all of us to prejudice, fear, intolerance, and a socio/religious system that was created to control and calm the masses.
..This system has both literally, and figuratively destroyed any who have spoken against it, and snared any weak minded enough to blindly follow.
..So enjoy the video of Mr. Marley singing this song and
then "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery" for only you can free your mind.
..But if you don't want to that's cool. Live the way you wish.
.."Redemption Song"
.. By
.. Bob Marley
..Old pirates, yes, they rob i;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took i
From the bottomless pit.
..But my hand was made strong
By the and of the almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
..Wont you help to sing
These songs of freedom? -
cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
..Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
cause none of them can stop the time.
..How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? ooh!
Some say its just a part of it:
Weve got to fulfil de book.

In addition to my Family ,Bob Marley, and Reggea Music, I like automobiles, and racing.
Over the years I have been able to drive or own numerous very enjoyable autos. Not all of them were the fastest in their class, but each was satisfying in it's own way.
You will find pics of them in my slide show above. Including the Cadillac XLR Prototype, I drove, at speed, at Gateway race track. During the session I had the privilege of having Nick Fanelli as my driving instructor.
of all of the exotic cars in my slide, I would choose to own the Carrera GT. However since a million dollar car is not likely in the near future, I'll take an M-3
Any form of racing is of some interest to my, but I no longer follow NASCAR that much. I tend to lean toward road racing. F1, ALMS, Grand Am, Lemans, and Super Sedan, are my top picks. Rallying rounds out my list, but it is a very incomplete one. the above mentioned slide show will give you a more complete idea.
Of these F-1 stands out as my favorite.My favorite team
is Ferrari. I have been a fan since I was a young boy.
Everyone has their favorite drivers, and I am no different, but it is hard for me to choose just one. Juan Manuel Fangio, to me is the greatest F1 driver of all time. Next, in no particular order, would be Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, Nigel Mansell, Alan Prost, and Of course Sir Jackie Stewart.
