When I was a very young man I had a burning desire to be more n do more with my life.
Problem was I also had a lot of mental issues that caused me to turn to alcohol n Drug abuse in an attempt to self medicate. To further complicate my life I made a lot of other bad choices that further hindered my dreams.
This life style became a 25yr journey to recovery. Isolation, Anger, Rage, Depression all the basket of fruit my journey had to endure. Time was the only cure, because back then they hadn't yet named or understood the things that plagued my life.
Still The Embers of hope survived. I'm a firm believer that no matter how much life hands you or how much you try to sabotage your life, that thing inside you that wants out will find a way.
At age 41 I began my new journey, one filled with hope n possibility. I left my self imposed prison of factory work as a machinist n welder for the life of an independent entrepreneur. To my amazement I exceeded anything I'd imagined. I traveled the world for a decade n grossed over 4.5 million dollars.
We both would think that this was my ember to be more, succeeding beyond belief. But I was wrong. Ill equipped to cope I became just one more lottery winner who blew his windfall n went suffocatingly in debt.
Depressed, the whole bag of mental issues returned. I took inventory of my assets n what was possible. My conclusion was no money but time, obsessive compulsive = focus n discipline. I began a 2 decades long Madman's journey to sell the thing that I had left after my fall from grace, My Story.
People around me were full of disapproval, warnings of concern from all directions. Only one person believed what I was attempting was possible, ME! That ember to succeed had risen once more. I needed to find a way to be more, to accomplish something with my life that had meaning. To show my grandchildren what was possible though pure effort n dedication. To show all the naysayers that even though madness great accomplishments were possible. My life had to this point been the cautionary tale you tell children to warn them off bad choices n paths.
After 15yrs of work on my 3rd act in life's journey a writer contacted me n wrote a story about "The Pez Outlaw" in Playboy Magazine. 04, 2015 edition. I'd achieved every little boys dream then some to be in Playboy Magazine, not a dirty story but My Story, My Life. Within month The ARGO Oscar winning producer stepped in n I had a BIG Studio Contract for a Movie of my life.
OH MY GOD! Again I'd exceeded my dreams for a lower middle class boy who grew up on the south side of life. Again though my mental issues reared there head n I self sabotaged 15yrs of hard work, unable to escape the demons of self doubt. You can't succeed, you are nothing.
The writer n the Oscar winning producer ran away in horror "This Guy Is To Crazy For Hollywood". My call were no longer answered n I haven't spoke to them in 3yrs.
Luckily that thing that sent them running was my salvation. For 15yrs I wrote Pez Outlaw Diary n I thought it quite successful. In 2015 I began writing in this blog, "Pez Outlaw, Notes From The Asylum". The success of the Asylum is QUADRUPLE in 5yrs what it took Pez Outlaw Diary to do in 15yrs.
IN the past 2yrs I've had 4 Documentary film makers contact me to make a doc about Pez Outlaw. I'm happy to report that my attitude has change n that I'm now ready willing n able to join the CIRCUS. Happy as a clam to be here, finally the wright path for my story.
Phase 1, Documentary
Phase 2. Hollywood Movie
Phase 3. Pez Outlaw The Book.
The moral of this story is that if you truly have that ember to do something special with your life, it will find it's way to the surface. You will return to it with each failure n go back to work on your dreams. Failure is just day 1 of your new journey. Hard Hard work n dedication are required.
Pez Outlaw Diary has been around for 20yrs in one form or another.
Pez Outlaw, Notes From The Asylum has been in publication for 5yrs.
ALL things have been derived from them n them only. They are the only sources for everything.
