Well, here we go. My name is John Null and I am new to all of this stuff. I am 37 and a father of two beautiful children. My daughter Shantee' is 17 and living in Colorado with her mom for the time being. She is a truly wonderful girl and does all of the things you would think of as "model behavior". She volunteers at nursing homes and teaches little kids to swim, stuff like that. My son, Draque, is 16 and coming into his own after a long stretch of troubled times. He and his mother couldn't get along for years and it messed him up pretty badly. he is kind and sweet, but he is very sensitive and when he gets his feelings hurt he likes to share that pain with the world. He definitely has a "tortured artists soul". I have been a lot of places around the world and spent the majority of my life up to now gathering information and experiences, but I am really just getting started on assimilating all of those times and information into the fabric of my being. I was always too busy doing things to stop and think about what it all meant and how to use any of it to enhance my life and make me a better person. I have been spending a lot of my time lately running my life through the filters of my mind and soul trying to make something out of all of it that might be useful to the world and, more importantly, to the people in my life that have always been there for me and kept me safe while I was running all over the world finding new ways to defile and damage myself. I have a very loving family. My parents are truly incredible people and I can't imagine how I could have done any of the things that I remember so fondly without them. One of my recent revelations is how loving and amazing they truly are. My brother Fred is 9 years my elder and we are the closest in age. Through all of my experiences and travels, I realize now that most of the valuable knowledge I posses has been gained through watching these two spectacular individuals and trying to be more like them. Much of my insight into the world I found by gallivanting around the world and seeing things most men only dream of or read about. The experience, I found, was never complete until I had shared it with these gentlemen and listened to their view on the events. My father now lives most of his life vicariously through me now. He financed many of my travels with the simple stipulation that I tell him all about everything sparing no detail. He seems to find the most useful lessons in the moments that I would have dismissed as trivial. My mother is also giving to a fault. She has genuine difficulty relaxing because, to her, that is time wasted not helping out someone in need. I am very proud to be the child of these amazing people. My daily hope is to face each challenge and opportunity with the grace, love and spirit that they endeavor too. I love them very much.
