The Greatest Gift From My Father

Up until the time that I was 4 years old, I lived in Chidester, Arkansas with my parents Johnney Joe and Sheila Gulley in my dad's parents manor. 
It was around that time I told my dad that I wanted to be like Boss Hogg, a character from the hit TV Show "The Dukes of Hazzard."
Weeks later, he bought me a big white cowboy hat, a belt buckle, and some cowboy boots. 
As a child, I would pick out the clothes that I wanted to wear and I would wear those items EVERYDAY!
In 1981, I took a picture in my outfit at the county Faulkner County Fair. 
Years later, I would look at that photo and become furious. I asked my dad why he allowed me to go out in public looking the way that I did.
He replied, " You were my only son and I wanted to make sure that you believed that you could be whatever you wanted to be in life."
I must admit that my father and I have not always seen eye to eye on certain issues. 
However, he has always been there for me when the moments counted the most. I will always be thankful to him for inspiring me to believe in myself.

Lessons From My Uncle Tyrone

When I became an adult, I would converse with my Uncle Tyrone, my mother's brother, about women. I always thought that he was the one that best luck when it came to dealing with women because he always seemed to be with the most attractive of them all. 
Here are some of the lessons that he taught me.
1. When it comes to women, you have to listen, but you do not have to agree with them.
2. Choose your battles with them wisely, because even if you have solid evidence that proves that you were right in an argument they will make you pay for it later.
3. Learn that the true meaning of submission is to be able to sacrifice what you believe is right for what is right. 
4. Whatever you say that you will not do, there is always someone else that will be willing to do it for her. So you might as well do it and get it over with.
5. When you are hearing to much nagging in your household, take your woman out on the town to reset her emotions. 
6. Elevated foot massages are way to give a woman pure satisfaction without being sexual. Do it often! She will appreciate you in more ways than one when you least expect it.
7. If she ever asks you for space, give it to her. You might just be doing yourself a favor in the process. 
Earlier you may have read that I said that I thought that my uncle was very lucky with the ladies. 
Well, his luck eventually ran out with them, because he's now serving a 35 year sentence in prison behind one. 
I still write to him because I miss him and just because I like to pick his brain from time to time. 
Regardless of what he was accused of doing, I still manage to be thankful for the lessons that he has given me to help mold me into the wise man that I am today.
