About Me


Hey, John here from Bogalusa La. I grew up in the small town of Amelia La. I still have some great friends there! I work on a offshore utility boat in the Gulf of Mexico. The boat i work on services oil production platforms in the gulf. We do everything from bringing their grocery's out to them, pumping them water and fuel(diesel), and other supply's they may need. We work a schedule of 28 days on the boat 14 home, although sometimes i stay a few extra weeks! There is a total of 4 people on the boat at all times, 2 captains, 1 engineer(which that is me), and 1 deckhand. My job consists of taking care of the engine room, duties include making sure engines and generators are all running right, changing oil, all filter's, minor repair's in the engine room and on boat in general. I also do all pumping of fuel and water, pumping to platforms and receiving fuel and water from fuel dock. I love my job, I get to see some beautiful sunset's and sunrise's ,I also love to watch the dolphin's play,sometimes they swim with the boat when we are running,They are truly beautiful! On my off time at home I love to ride MY MOTOR CYCLE 1977 SHOVEL HEAD! Anyway i am a caring,loving,honest person with alot of old fashioned value's! I love to make people smile! I am a big teddy bear in disguise.In the summer time 1 of my favorite thing's to do is go tubing down the river,there is always about 10 or so of us go together, it's truly a blast! If you ever near Franklinton Louisiana and its summertime grab a tube a ice chest full of your favorite beverage and call me!Let the fun began!

A BIKER'S STORY! I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store line. But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the collection plate last Sunday. I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on the sidewalk. But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the local mall. I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant. But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money for the hurricane relief. I saw you roll up your window and shake your head when I rode by.. But, you didn't see me, riding behind you when you flicked your cigarette butt out the car window. I saw you frown at me when I smiled at your children. But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run toys to the homeless. I saw you stare at my long hair. But, you didn't see me, and my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love. I saw you roll your eyes at our leather jackets and gloves. But, you didn't see me and my brothers donate our old ones to those that had none. I saw you look in fright at my tattoos. But, you didn't see me cry as my children were born and have their name written over and in my heart. I saw you change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere. But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family. I saw you, complain about how loud and noisy our bikes can be. But, you didn't see me, when you were changing the CD and drifted into my lane. I saw you, yelling at your kids in the car. But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was safe behind me. I saw you, reading the newspaper or map as you drove down the road. But, you didn't see me, squeeze my wife's leg when she told me to take the next turn. I saw you, race down the road in the rain.. But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son could have the car to go on his date. I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes of time. But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right. I saw you cut me off because you needed to be in the lane I was in. But, you didn't see me leave the road. I saw you, waiting impatiently for my friends to pass. But you didn't see me. I wasn't there. I saw you go home to your family. But you didn't see me. Because, I died that day you cut me off. I was just a biker. A person with friends and a family. But you didn't see me.
