Wow.

And so not necessarily homeless, but we didn't have a house of our own.

Yeah, essentially.

And then we lived in a teepee for a year.

Like, no lie.

I was probably like two and a half, three years old.

We did that.

My dad then became a logger for a while and he was all the while like, you know, partying and raging and disappearing for a couple of weeks here and there.

And yeah, we lived in a tent for a while when he was logging.

And then finally, my mom kind of had enough.

And she was just like, we need to like live in a home.

Like we need to stop being gypsies.

And so we finally settled in this place called Niponawassee, which is like NorCal kind of by a place Iwani up in, you know, where Yosemite is.

No, Central California Hills, you know, just kind of tucked away from society.

And so my dad was a recluse and had his own problems and his struggles.

And I just, I idolized him.

I thought he was just the salt of the earth because, you know, I mean, he loved me.

He loved me to death.

He really did.

but he just didn't know how to be an honest family man.
