​"In the 2016 presidential elections, I knew when the American voters brought forth, two presidential candidates, one from each political party who were grossly inadequate and unfit to be POTUS, America would somehow get into deep trouble.  So, on inauguration day I began bracing for one of America's worst economic fallout's in its history.  I was not wrong."
>B. Chapline<
​

"True Americans should always provide absolute equality, dignity and respect to all of its citizens and their guaranteed Constitutional freedoms.   Revere our flag with actions of honesty, decency and fairness.  But, never be afraid to fight those evil forces, foreign or domestic, who attempt to take our rights away in the pursuit of happiness."  
>B. Chapline<

​"Of course, every U.S. Marine is trained to kill the enemy.  For, simply put, above all else, this is our job.  But, in contrast, our truest heroes are the ones who have put themselves at extreme risk in saving lives."

​"Somehow, state corrections officers came to wear the banners of both state peace officer and prison guard.  These rival occupational tags surely did not exist harmoniously in a prison environment.  For, at many junctures and locations, a stronghold of staff corruption exploded both prejudices and divisiveness in our so-called institutions of rehabilitation."

About Brad
"Them versus Me"

Most people will likely see me as an unusual personality who has a curious life in which I came to indulge in a variety of song and personal writings.

So, in both my personal life and my two careers I have had many opponents, adversaries, and or just outright enemies. Their kindest opinions have branded me as a madcap of sorts who was unpredictable and hard-hitting in retaliation.

I admit that I’ve never been a "part of the herd". It's true, I'm not easily categorized. I’ve mostly been a lone-wolf, and always a totally independent thinker. This personal framework of mine has certainly spilled over into both my music and short stories. 

So, it goes without saying anything further that I've taken many calculated risks in life, and survived. But oh boy, have I been far from perfect. For, my more dangerous stunts were mostly enacted from episodes of extreme anger and or rage.

Even though I survived them all, these portions that spared my life most likely originated from luck. So, explore further into some of my writings and you'll clearly see that although I've made more than my fair share of poor judgments and mistakes, I'm still a reputable man who is truly dependable and trustworthy.

Always, the best part of me has been my exceptionally harmonious nature with people who were desperate for help. I was right each time I saw them as not having the capabilities of defending themselves. At this point, it was time for me to step in and do their fighting for them.  While I won many, I did not win all.

On another page, the saddest part of my life has been, the many times that my battles were with those who were with either the family I grew up with, or, the family I had made through marriage.

So, through all this, and much more, I discovered I was far from invincible. I too, am human. Because there were limits as to how much burden I could carry.

Learning the hard way, twice, as a matter of fact, I came to realize that my mind could easily become susceptible at any given time to a horrendous overload.

Now, superannuated, I prefer to avoid people as much as possible. I'm old and kind of crumbly. With the exception of my family, I go to extreme lengths to "keep my own company". I find that living my retirement years in semi-solitude is very much worth it. I’d be a liar if I didn't say that, this long-long journey of mine has been both a gift and a curse.
