The last time I was Posting, I got led astray by My Ambition to be Considered as, someone Knowledgable.I'm Sorry,but, it might happen at anytime.Anyway, at the age of 19,the First City, that I Started My "DEVIATE" Behavior in was New Orleans,Louisiana.Since, Drinking Age was 18, I made use of That Law.After Three Beers, I was Pretty Drunk.I had never Drank that many Beers in My life.A couple of Kids that went to TULANE University, invited Me to a Party, in the French Quarter where a Bunch of them Rented a House, for, Partys , on the Weekends, Holidays, etc,etc. Everything was going along just fine, until,one of the Kids lit up a Cigarette that appeared to be a Roll-Your- Own.My Grandpa, used to roll his cigarettes, but, He always used Prince Albert Tobacco.When, He lit it,everybody passed it around after taking a Drag each. When, it got to Me, I asked this Girl, once I took a Drag,what was I supposed to do with it? She looked at Me, and, said, You have never smoked POT before? I said,that I had never Smoked anything, except a regular Cigarette.Well, She said, I should hold the Smoke,in my Lungs for about 15-30seconds,then let it out. I did exactly what I was told.I choked a couple of times,and, then a Strange Feeling Descended on Me, I thought I was getting Light-Headed, then the Most Horrible Headache I ever got in My Life.Needless to say,but, I did'nt take another Drag.I just went outside and, THREW UP.My First time at using any kind of Drug, other than Aspirin,or Cough Syrup.Maybe,Now,You can see how Naive, I really was.I did'nt use POT, for a whole Year after the New Orleans Experience. LATER LOS ANGELOS. RED

After, I said Ciao on the 9th, I went and, found My Police Record that I sent for, by the FBI. I figured I could do a better job of remembering stuff with the Dates,and,Outcomes of each Situation.I actually, had a Real Hard Time Sleeping.I got up Three Times,the last time was 4am,so, I stayed up.I was seeing things'I thought I had forgotten,like,when I worked on Main St.Downtown Los Angelos, It was a Video, and,Magazine,with an array of Sex Toys. It also had Two 35mm Cameras,with Seating for 75 People or,whatever type you want to think about.Main Street was Very Big for The Japanese Cruise Ships,We would Sell Out Theatre Seats in a Flash. Then, they would Scour the Magazine Racks.Eventually, They would start inquiring about the Various asundery of Sex Toys.These People were unbeleivable,they were Wide Eyed,even Very Funny the way they reacted to some of the Products.This one Lady saw what is known as a Double Headed You know what,She asked Me how it worked, I told her, I only Sold the Stuff, I did'nt try them out.Then, I said, why do'nt You buy it and,Write Me when You get Home. She bought the Gross thing, but, I never got a letter. Thank God.On a couple of other times,I did'nt say anything,but,even though they were Disguised,I could still Figure out who they were.I had so many of My Boyhood Heroes Images, Destroyed,when You find out what they were in Real Life.When I told My Mom,and,Dad about some of them,My Dad said, He didnt want to hear anything of a Deviate Nature about His One Hero, John Wayne. I was very Happy to be able to tell Him, the only Upsetting thing I found out about Him,was, that He belonged to the "JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY". J.Edgar Hoover would not let the Studios Cast Him the Lead Roll for a Movie they were about to start filming. Its' Title was The FBI Story, He wanted Jimmy Stewart to do the Leading Roll,well, since He was who He was,Mr.Stewart got the Roll.By the way, He was Damn Good. More tomorrow. RED

This is the 9th of Jan. 06. I have checked into the Chatroom the last couple of days, I NEVER will use the Chatroom again. Why? I have a Handicap, when it comes to typing, I have only One Good Hand, and, I have had 5 Operations (SURGICAL)on it. An Accident in Oregon, on the Job. I used to be a Sheetmetal Worker. I started this Blog thing, to try and, relay the TRUE Story of the "STREETS",and, to let the Kids who think they know Everything. I used to be one of those Kids. I have never been as Religious as I should have been, what I was more than anything was a "NON-CONFORMIST", and, CURIOUS. My Dad and,Mother always thought My Middle Name should have been CURIOUS.In My Younger Days, when I listened to someone talking about something that had happened to them, I was always thinking,It could'nt be as Bad as what I heard. Well, Years later I was really Wishing I had NEVER taken what I heard as BS. Some of You already know I'm 60yrs.Old, I should, have Grand Children,I should have lots' of Good Memories to share with them. But, because I bought some LSD from a dealer in "GREENWICH VILLAGE", in 1965,I was rendered STERILE. From that One Dose of ACID, My Life was changed, forever. I'm not looking for Sympathy, simply because I do'nt have any RIGHT to. Earlier, Today, on the Chat line, I had One Person try to be Pushy about the Fact that I had been Arrested for 187pc. in Los Angelos. Now, 187pc in the California Penal Code, is, MURDER, in fact it was "SUSPICION" of First Degree Murder. I was the First Person Busted for that Crime, the First out of 26 other People. I went through 3 Days of the most Intensive Interrogation that I had ever gone through. When LT. Custer of HOLLYWOOD Homocide finally Caught the People who really did Kill My Friend BOOTS,a Beat Cop found Me,and, gave Me the Details, I was Totally Blown Away.They caught the People in Salt Lake City,UTAH, they were 15to16 Years Old, they were each Payed $50. He was killed for Stealing a Diamond Necklace from a Fence, (DEALER in STOLEN GOODS).The Fence used those Kids, because Kids would'nt Serve anymore than 4-5yrs. in California. That's right, If they minded their Manners, they could Possibly be OUT, before there 21st Birthday. I can tell Facts like that all Day, and, Night for Quite awhile. These Facts,and,Happenings, are, all Related to DRUGS, in one way or another. I'm going to go for now, My Dad's 84yrs Old,and, Needs Me. LATER People. Be Careful out there. RED

I was 19 years old, but, so Naive.I had know "STREET MOXY" at all, I had no Knowledge of Drugs, Street Fighting, the many kinds of People that made up the Street World. Such as Drug Dealers, Pimps, Prostitutes, Gays, Thieves of all types,
Murderers, etc. I was raised in a Middle Class Family, My Dad is a "PEARL HARBOR" Survivor. He worked in Civil Service for 25yrs.
My Dad and Mother did not Drink, Smoke Cigarettes, or any Nasty Mouth.I had to Learn REAL FAST, about Everything. BACKin a FEW. Dinnertime. RED

MY LONG DARK TUNNEL, Starts at the age of 19. I'm 60yrs Old now. I have had a few Judges tell Me, I should Write about My Past. My past is with Me every Second, Minute,and, Hour of every Day. There are still, to many People alive for a Book, but, I can talk about some things. I'm looking to keep even ONE Kid from going into My Tunnel. My Tunnel Started in New Orleans, La. 1964.
