    About Me

    I was a long distance truck driver loved to ride my harley meet new people. i have a bit of a warped sence of humor in normal circumstances. Ive traveled nearly all my life and loved to get around to see new places and things.I now am stuck at home and have made a heap of friends online. i am still batteling with the insurance company and am in pain 24/7. im sick of all the bullshit and wish someone could just take at least half my pain away so i could have some resemblance of a normal life.

    Interests

    Most of my interests before my accident i cant do any more but i am a motor cycle enthusiast. I play online computer games witch is a group of people all over the world come together and play the same game i just love that concept. i do like computers in general and have built my own and a few now for friends. I have finaly found a sport i can do with my bad back. Ive joind the local gun club and go target shooting most weekends. As a rule like most men i love my toys , I have Bikes cars models remote contol models ect ect As ive got older ive got myself more toys but the price tags on my toys have just gotten a hell of a lot higher the older i get lol.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      Nearly 4 years ago now i was driveing my semi when a box shifted in my load, The only way to rectify the problem was to climb into the back of my trailer and move the 2 boxes wich had toppled over due to incorect freight on the wrong type of vehicle.i picked up the end of the 1st box that moved (aprox 4 mt's long 80-100kg.)I then went and grabed the 2nd carton same size lifted it from 1 end and that was the moment my life changed forever. after 3 operations I sit here in cronic pain.
