Some of you already know him from social media outlets. Here he talks about his life. What is it about these graybeard musicians? they all seem to have quite a history!
Why Me? by Catturd.
I’m exhausted – mentally and physically. This Catturd thing has been a 5 year rollercoaster ride. I basically work 7 days a week; no days off, no vacations. I don’t even know how I got here. I often ask, why me?
I have no idea how I’ve gained such a large following – sometimes I think it’s mostly luck. Most the larger accounts on the conservative side have lived a very different life than me. In short, they did most everything right in life, and I did almost everything wrong – lol.
You couldn’t get a more flawed and imperfect person than me. Although I’ve never been in trouble with the law, arrested, and only had one traffic ticket in my life – I was aimlessly adrift for many of my early years.
I joined the Army at 17-years-old, once my service was over – I basically started immediately screwing up. I was so lost. I had several failed marriages when I was way too young and had no idea what love was. Then I spent over a decade as a hippie musician, growing my hair, carefree, smoking weed, drinking too much, and even using some hard drugs. (I even had a VW hippie van – lol ) I was homeless at one point, living in a tent beside a lake for months. I fought alcoholism pretty hard during these times and still have to watch myself today.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t regret a moment of my life, because I strongly believe it takes lots of failures to become successful at anything.
I finally seemed to get my shit together around the age of 40. It took me long enough – lol.
At the age of 54, I decided to join social media for the first time because I suddenly got arthritis in my fingers where I lost the ability to play guitar. I was lost again and needed some kind of artistic outlet. Sometimes I think Catturd saved me in a way.
With this reach and when you truly speak your mind, The Left will viscously try to destroy you. YOU MUST BE SILENCED and it never ends.
For just giving my honest opinions, I’ve been doxxed, harassed, 100 hit pieces written about me, people come by house and scream obscenities, tons of death threats, and on and on. Everyone I’ve known for 40 years and many of my family members have been bullied and relentlessly harassed for years.
Sometimes I don’t know why a screw-up like me was give this much reach. I pray every night I’ll use this opportunity the right way to help as many people as possible – and pets. I’m always struggling in which direction to go.
I can honestly say, however, the love I get from my followers pushes me through the hard times, when I’m exhausted or down. Whether it’s on social media or on our podcast, I try to make people laugh every day to ease the pain of what this country is going through.
In closing on this novel, I feel so blessed to have the support and love from so many of you. I don’t claim to be perfect, but I’ll always give you my raw and unfiltered opinions, right or wrong. I’m not afraid and I’m fighting for this country as hard as I can.
All of you saved me – I love you all.
as a senior “digital soldier”…..which is apparently what I’ve become in my very comfortable gated community here in Central FLA…..I can relate to the part he writes about: (always thought Catturd was a she….especially his 5 year roller coaster ride reference) …. being an out spoken Patriot and MAGA supporter…..a group of us started our own FB Political page just about when DJT launched his 2020 campaign….the political split in or community began almost immediately….the comments some of us were making on our community FB page drew ire from the our HOA and our Left leaning/Dem residents…so we started a page for those of us who were on the “same page” politically (though we eventually DID bring in some who flipped) and Patriotically speaking (eventually medically speaking as well)….THEN the virus hit…Well! that took all of this to a new multi level level! So now my mornings are scouring all my favorite alternative websites….Yours #1, then X22, and we know, Bannon’s War Room (LOVE my Steve), Devolution, plus many others and my favorite religious fix each morning Julie Green w/JPM Ministries…all on Rumble except yours which comes in daily on my email (I’ve referred many to your wonderful site as well)….I’ve been put in FB jail jail more times than I can count and censored/threatened other times…those of us on “our” page have been….NONE of us are backing down one bit…..think we all feel the same…the more you attack us the more adamant, determined, and AMERICAN we become….I trust that all of this is in God’s hands…He has spoken loudly through the prophets that He’s “got this” and we HAVE WON…..I truly believe that…so there is no fear here….it WILL be a rough ride a bit longer, but all in God’s time, we will be OK so long as we are in His corner…I cannot even pity those who are not in God’s corner at this point in time….sadly I still have family members and friends who are stunningly still asleep and unaware of what is REALLY happening…they are also disciples of MSNBC/CNN/Wpost, etc, etc….so all I can and should do is pray for them since I’ve given up reasoning and sharing the truth…..keep up your fantastic work and all you do….it is much appreciated….have a wonderful day!
Thank you so much my sister patriot
You’re very welcome…. 🙂
Wow! This is excellent. Did you request that he write something for you to post or does he have a substack? He definitely cheers me up daily with his incisive twitter posts! Thanks for sharing.
I love Catturd2; have printed his pictures and placed them on my office wall, next to my computer. I especially like his official portrait with President Trump. KayD
