THE BIG REVEAL IS FINALLY HERE LADIES AND GENTS
HOLD ONTO YOUR SEATS!
Hello friends! I hope that everyone has had a great Easter holiday filled with family, fun and great food! To put everyone at ease, Lucky is not dead, locked in the @greetersguild basement or in jail (someone asked already). In fact, I'm back at it on here, freshly rolled from my grave going full Steem ahead! Life has been a really vindictive bitch lately just to be honest with everyone, which accounts for my time away from the platform. Last week I had been ever so lucky enough to have won nature's lottery and received the awesome prize of severe food poisoning, which was followed up with a family emergency that required a great bit of time and travel. Then came Easter, which honestly was amazing simply because my daughter was able to have one hell of a good time! All in all, I'm on the right side of the ground, so things could always be worse! So, to get caught up and back into the swing of things, I am going to wrap up my contest event from a little over a week ago that completely blew everyone's mind. Be advised, you haven't seen anything yet!
OF ALL OF THESE INSANE STATEMENTS, WHICH ONE WAS ACTUALLY THE LIE?
I'm honestly surprised only one person caught this one dead on, which won them a share to @steembasicincome for guessing correctly! To go ahead and blow everyone's minds even more, the answer to this question is none other that #7! Congratulations to @peggyhazelwood for your lucky guess! I'll be submitting your prize as soon as possible!
1 - I died when I was an infant, to be revitalized by a member of the EMT on the Ambulance ride to the hospital, all due to a small and collapsed trachea.
I was honestly lucky to have survived this and thanks to the EMT who was quick on his feet, I'm alive to tell the tale. After stretching my trachea open, the team was able to continue doing what they had to in order to get me back in the game. Just one of my blessings!
2 - My life was saved selflessly by a dog that belonged to my sister when I was three years old. This dog sacrificed himself by tackling me from the roadway and he then was hit by a drunk driver and killed.
Probably one of the most traumatizing things I had ever dealt with as a child, yet one of the most humbling things I can remember as an adult that pertains to my childhood. My sister's Chesapeake Bay Retriever "Boof" saved my life and in the process left a scar on my face to remember him by which is now forever behind my mustache.
3 - I owned the first automotive detailing business in Maryland that set the standard in car care, making the name a nationally recognized name and image.
I started this venture from the trunk of a car believe it or not, with only $300 in materials and the ambition to make something of it. Within three years, I had solidified a name across the country within my trade, offering up teaching opportunities across the country as well as exponential growth, averaging my detailing company between $90k to $150k per year until I was forced to close down for health related reasons.
4 - I have survived 3 severe drug overdoses with no medical attention and no long lasting damages to my body or mind.
As a ghost of my addiction, this fact is very true and still haunts me. I survived two severe cocaine overdoses as well as one from a mix of cocaine, benzos and percoset. Being I had an extremely high tolerance and frankly during this time of my life had very little fucks to give, I would often find myself overindulging in whatever my drug of choice was at the time. The worst of the three is considered a medical anomaly by the two doctors who later heard of this and treated me for follow up care. I binged on 9 grams of high quality cocaine within a few hour period, causing cardiac arrest and a full body shut down. After being completely incapacitated to a couch for roughly five days, I recovered slowly over the next few weeks after only receiving home based care and supervision (no professional care).
5 - I was a heavy alcoholic and recreational drug user for over 15 years and gave it up cold turkey, almost putting myself into a seizure from withdraw.
After many years of heavy drug and alcohol abuse I decided to kick the habit, which in turn kicked my ass. Not considering the physical effects of alcohol withdraw, I attempted to stop using without medical aide. About 18 hours in, I began to have severe head pains and various other symptoms of withdraw including sweating profusely. The pains became unbearable, causing my wife to transport me to the emergency room. I was stabilized immediately with Ativan to reverse the beginning stages of what was soon to become a deadly seizure.
6 - I am of Japanese/Sicilian/German/Irish decent with Japanese and Sicilian being the primary contributors.
I sure enough have this whole Axis of Evil thing going on for myself with my heritage. My mothers side is Sicilian and German and my father's side is Japanese and Irish. Fun fact - my grandmother is 100% Japanese and met my grandfather in Pearl Harbor before he was deployed to Iwo Jima.
7- I graduated high school with flying colors and completed 4 years of formal education in college for Business Management.
I did not graduate from high school. Due to behavioral issues I was subject to expulsion, which prompted me to pursue my GED. I have not attended college, only tech classes/vocational classes.
8 - I was at one point for many years a high ranking drug trafficker and kingpin who was hunted by DEA and several other Drug Task Force organizations until my retirement.
I spent a substantial portion of my life involved in the drug trade, from marijuana to cocaine. I would traffic from numerous places in the US, setting up a network in Eastern MD, PG County MD and DC which I ran for quite some time. After years of eluding the law, a confidential informant brought me to the attention of the DEA and several branches of local drug task force, creating problems for me personally and business wise. Tens of thousands of dollars later in attorney fees and more, I finally retired from the business for good, putting my focus on helping my communities VS hindering them.
9 - I once refused a record deal with Def Jam to pursue my solo debut hip hop album that had over 75 million plays on Myspace.
Music has always been one of my biggest passions, which has driven me to learn the hip hop business rather well, from production to vocalizing. In 2008 after releasing my first debut solo single titled "Bring Me A Dream", Myspace plays jumped into the millions for the track which got the attention of labels such as TMZ and namely, Def Jam. After discussions of a deal, I declined and continued to work independently, releasing my debut album later in the year. I to this day have no regrets for refusing the deal, it was in my opinion a form of slavery!
10 - I have physically saved the lives of 3 people on different occasions and kept them from meeting their inevitable death.
Without getting into very much detail (it is late and I am beat), I have saved three people from meeting their maker. One was completely accidental by the way, but none the less, was a complete solid for him! To this day I still receive thank yous from one of them!
11 - I have survived 14 near death experiences, granting me the nickname Lucky and having me known locally as a medical anomaly.
I earned my alias for this as well as many other reasons. From dying as an infant, being stabbed multiple times and even surviving meningitis after not receiving treatment for 4 days before seeing the ER, I have shown to be a resilient bastard. With that being said, I was coined as "Lucky" by my associates and others. None the less, I am incredibly blessed and happy to be here to tell the tales!
SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
Complete insanity huh? I get that quite a bit to be honest. I'm just happy none the less that everyone participated in this contest as well as got to know me a little bit more. I'm going to go ahead and get some shut eye! Thank you all for participating and for your support!

It's pretty shitty to drop links on my work and ask for upvotes when you yourself didn't even upvote this post. If you can't contribute to the success of others but ask for help, you need to keep it in motion, away from here. Sorry if I sound like an asshole, just keeping it real.
congratulations @peggyhazelwood! I thought that was too obviously out of place that it had to be truth LOL
LOL the big sham was one that I figured everyone wouldn't even bat an eye at ;)
I would have never known that was the lie, they were hard to figure out seeing how all are possible! Glad you're here Lucky!
