Excuse Me

Kevin Anderson 1965 (Ill)

First off, I apologize for my attitude... I never meant to be rude...
I'm one man suffering in a world of what I should and shouldn't do... I'm not attempting to lose you...
In a perfect world  there would be no me or no fools... I've yet to learn the simplest of rules... well, all good things come to an end... hope we remain a friend... the days and nights are long... I'm alone wanting to be strong... as I carry my heart in my hands on...

Kevin Anderson

From ghetto fabulous to military standards with customs and courtesies. The Path taken in life from the United States of America to far and distant lands has indubitably exposed me bare. The adventure has made the person; the man. Born in Illinois, raised in East St. Louis and Royal Lakes, from there the fam hightailed it to California. Dallied in Inglewood then Bompton or Compton, some do say. Signed my name on the dotted line bringing the world into full view. I joined the United States Air Force in 1986, fully retired in 2016, 30 years of honorable service and of making life do what it does so I can do what I do when I do what I do communicating my thoughts or a few. more…
