I Am The Non-Stereotype


Hello everyone. My name is Brad Freeman. I'm 32 years old. I graduated from Park Hill South high school in May 2003. I'm sending this mass email out to let everybody know that I've been busy doing stuff since I graduated college in May 2009.

Since I was about 10 years old, I've had 4 to 5 career paths planned out for myself. 1. Entertainment career (actor/writer/musician/artist) since about 10 years old. 2. Football coach since about six years old. 3. Martial arts historian since 11. President of the United States since 18, and just recently I've been told I should become a motivational speaker. Although, every time I do a speaking presentation for a family member at their schools', I'm told I should be a motivational speaker.

Not trying to make anybody feel inferior by any means, but as a lot of you know by being around me at some point, or will come to learn, if you're ever around me. I expect and demand a lot of myself. My own expectation bar is always set much higher than everybody else's. I would have sent this stuff out sooner, but being that my Cerebral Palsy causes things to go a little slower than most; I wanted to make sure my work was good, and not just mediocre.

I'm sending out the first seven theater stage plays of my creative portfolio. They have been copy written already. I finished number eight, but it needs to be edited and copy written, and then I will submit it to the Dramatist Guild of America. After that I will send it to everyone. I have four other plays that are half way done. I have artwork that goes with a couple of the plays, as well as clothing, but clothing falls under the patent and trademark office, and their fees are much steeper than the copyright office, so everyone is going to have to wait on those. Sorry.

On the football front, I went to my first football clinic February 3rd through the 5th. It was in Kansas City. For those of you that aren't aware, it's basically like football school. I've been self-taught for 26 years. I made great contacts with a few coaches, including the Assistant Linebackers’ Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs. If you doubt my football knowledge, I can send you the hundreds of pages of research I have.

As far as the historian and motivational speaker pursuits, I'm just now really looking into those more closely. I speak history like I lived it. I'm such the history whiz that I know the different names that different cultures called certain modern places, and which language a modern country speaks by which country either founded/colonized it. As of right now, I have a large list of famous books from history broken down by country and time period from all around the world. I plan to read those at some point in time. As far as the speaker part, I guess I'm starting that right now with this.

As far as the POTUS, I can't run until at least 35 years old. I have my general stances written out, but I have to research them more thoroughly and I'll get back to you. Plus, I'm not going to tell everyone what they are because 1. I don't want to get blackballed by half of you, who may not agree with me. 2. While I know generally what I believe, I need to be able to articulate certain stances better. 3. I don't want anyone stealing my ideas to improve the country. Haha.

So with that, anyone reading this can clearly see I've just been sitting around twiddling my thumbs. Hehe. No. In all seriousness, if any parents or kids with a "disability" are reading this, know that just because you have a "disability" doesn't mean your life is over. I'm picture proof. And just so everyone understands, I'm not in denial. I know I have it. I just don't care. Therefore, I don't like to use the word "disability" because it makes it sound like we are defective pieces of equipment that can't do anything, and have no value. And again, I'm the non-stereotype, and proud of it! My Cerebral Palsy is part of my uniqueness.
