The Net Of Gems (Life is Composed)

OK, born in Jonesboro GA. Born to my OHIO-born mother and TENNESSEE-born father into a one story house on tara blvd. My dad worked on a barge on the missippee river until he had a near fatal experience after falling off and coming close to the propeller, he then sold mobile homes ever since (my dad has sold over 300 thousand in his life). Due to stomach problems my dad was forced to become a vegan and then converted to budhism after reading the literature of many vegetarians. My mom started off at college getting her masters in political science and being a interpretor for diplomatic parts of the gov't. Months before she would graduate she married a man from Bangledesh and moved to Chicago. She had my brother and began working at malls while my brothers dad became more abusive and alchoholic everyday. One day, she rain out into the snow with my brothers, went to a pay phone and called her mother and flew to Georgia where she lives now. She married my dad a few years later. I was raised w/ the help of my Grandmother (most greatly affected my life and how i treat people), a native-american girl named Michelle and her German sister-in-law named Aneka, and an elderly black neighbor named Geneva. Those were the faces I saw in my early child hood along w/ my best and one of few white friends i had then named Lee. He taught me alot of things and especially that soo many different things in life can be delved into and enjoed. I moved to fayetteville w/ my now-budhist dad shortly after the divorce of my parents. The reason for the divorce being mainly because my brother had began drinking and trashing the house daily (he was 16).This was probably due to his best friend JJ was murdered behind our house not long before. My mom began dating a boy she knew since she was 4 named Corky. Corky toured w/ Iggy Pop and the MC5 since the late 60's and has never had a real job in his life. I took to this very hard when my mom dated him and threatened to kill him or myself several times in 1998 but my mom and corky saw my bluff and i eventually grew used to the idea. Well, now im in 2 bands, i've joined the Green Party, have a large set of friends, and now that i'm getting out of highschool soon I've got contacts in detriot, new mexico, new york, california, nashville, and atlanta so pretty soon my part of the story will begin if it hasn't already.
