Michael 'Mickey' Farrell


This thread's purpose is to follow the life of Michael Farrell, an El Burro native.

 

Michael Farrell was born into an Irish family. His Mother, Siobhan Kelly now Farrell, married Padraig Farrell when they were just 18. They bought a house in El Burro and started a family together. Their first born Michael proved to be a fairly well behaved child, but maybe that was due to the fear of Padraig belting him if he stepped out of line. Padraig was a hardworking man, who was a professional at construction. It flowed from his hands like it was his God's given gift. Siobhan was a full time Mother and did her best to raise her children whilst Padraig worked hard to put food on the table for them. 

 

Years went on and Michael grew older, he found himself in trouble with the law, in trouble at school and fighting almost daily. Majority of his fights were over petty arguments and of course, Michael's pride. The violence left the schoolyard and Michael would begin fighting in the streets. His Father Padraig put him into boxing but it didn't last too long, his coach discovered he had been using his newly learned skills in street fights and for that, kicked him out of the gym. Why did Michael like violence so much? Nobody really knew... It was just Michael. Deep down though? Maybe it's because of his Father. Padraig was never shy of giving Michael a ''good hiding''. It taught Michael to react with violence when he wasn't happy with a situation or someone's behaviour.

 

Michael had always been a fan of art, he drew to escape his troubles at home whilst growing up. It was either drawing, or fighting. Michael almost ruined his career as an artist after he got into a fight with a group of boys at school who had been bullying him since kindergarten, he punched one either so hard, or at a wrong angle, that he got a boxer's fracture. His hand was swollen for over a week and the pain was extreme. He never went to the hospital or received medical attention for it. He thought he'd never draw again but in the end he managed. 

 

At the age of 16, Michael would drop out of school and start hanging out in the streets. He'd eventually be arrested and sent to the halls for yet again, fighting. Upon his release, he reconnected with the whiteboys in the area and began to take the lifestyle more serious.

 

Michael's future unfolds...
