who is earthdog ?

About me, I was born in , Tenn. We moved to Detroit, Mi. when I was 2 years old.I had a regular Detroit kids’ life, I met my friends at school, or from the recreation center I hung out at. I was in a gang, which was established by the kids that hung out at the rec. it was mainly to help each other out when kids from out of the neighborhood came to the rec. and started trouble with 1 or some of us. As I grew up my friends began to get a little crazy, and it was not just about watching each others back any more. I won’t go into all those details, but any one can surely imagine the things I am talking about. I never really considered myself crazy and though I did some things, (for lack of a better reason), for friendship, it seems that we were always fighting some body, most times the fights would end without too much injury to someone, but there were times when the fights ended with nightmares that are still not over. I decided then that it was time to get away from Detroit for a while, so I joined the Navy. In all the times while growing up in Detroit I never got a police record for any thing, but in the Navy I hooked up with what seemed like the same guys I grew up with, I had to wait until I went to another state to get charged with… a couple things, over the range of my military career, which almost got me dishonorably discharged. But I made it through with an honorable, and I had had enough of the Navy now. Once I left the navy, I came back to Detroit, with a different out look on things, especially since I had made it out of the Navy with an honorable discharge. I decided that was close enough, it was time to buckle down, and get serious about life. I hung out with some of the old gang, when I got to Detroit… for a while. With in a year I got a job and move from my parent’s house and out of the hood. I became interested in Real Estate while I went through the process of getting my first house. I then took and passed the Real Estate examination, and started working out of Century 21 (a couple of them) at this time; I also started working at a much better job, I was making very good money, and I was a natural as a Real estate agent. I was working my job, and winning sales awards in Real Estate. I started taking college courses for business management, and accounting, to help with my Real estate business. After a while I met, and married my wife Linda. She was the epitome of a beautiful Black woman, but by now I was too cocky to be married! And I lost her by trying to “run things my way” and having a child with another woman, during our marriage. Every body knew about every body, so I am sure I do not need to go into how much of a nightmare my life had turned into. Well I wound up losing every body, I am not with either of them, and I have missed all 3 of my children growing up….Well enough of that. To make a long story short I don’t have a Real estate license any more especially since I moved 4000 miles from Detroit, I don’t have any securities any more, which I became very successful at also,(with some strategies the brokers them selves were impressed with) I still have the job, though a lot of the money goes to child support and taxes. Then about the year 1998 I tried my luck with internet marketing, for a year or so. I took my savings, and money I had made with the stock market, and went full speed into the internet, and into a brick wall, where I lost all that money. I was sure the internet had good potential, so I am back, and trying a different approach… slow down. So far so good though.

I also love to cook(gourmet style), and entertain.
