Darren's Story

Life I believe that since there is nothing we can do about what we did in our lives prior to this very moment, we shouldn't dwell on it. Instead we should learn from it and move on, remembering occassionally the good things you lived, and forgiving those who've wronged you and yourself for the wrongs you've done. I have lived a lifetime that I would not change or give up, and I learned something, good or bad, from just about everyone I've met...and so far its been fun... Currently I'm married 25 years to the wonderful Lisa Beattie once of Connecticutt. We bought a town-house in 2005 in Vassar Michigan. We have two beautiful daughters that I believe will make the world a better place by just being here, Jessica 23 and Caila 19 (Kay-la, spelling was her mother's idea :) . We have a Persian named Prissy that truly believes she is Queen of the house and a Jack Russell Daschund named Eddie that believes he can change Prissy's mind. The Veteran's Admin was kind enough to pay me to go to college a few years back, and I earned a Bachelor's in Open Systems Technologies. I work in the computer network communications field, currently as a Voice and Data Communications Technical Support Technician. For the laymen, I'm the guy you ask for when your work phones are down and you can't surf the Internet at work. I did the Q&A first for this profile and I always hate those things. Multiple choice is easy bt doesn't let you express yourself. There were a few questions I'm going to expand on here. Q: How do you feel about your life right now: A: I've been around the world and back again. I've met some of the greatest people, and only a few of the worst. In High school I didn't have a clue of where I'd be today, in the Air Force I didn't know if I'd be alive today, Since reentering the private sector, wow...does anybody else see the water rising? See Politcal views question below for the re...Expand for more
st. Q: Your favorite type of movie: A: I don't watch a lot of movies but when I do its more of a mood thing. Bourne trilogy rules. Gangs of New York...Excellent. Over the Hedge....funnnneeee. Matrix...the geek in me loved all 3. so you see its a mix of genre...same goes for my musical interests. Q: Your friends would describe you as: A: Some have told me I'm legendary...others have told me I'm outrageous...those that know me best would say I'm a Renaissance man, and a good friend and advisor... Q: If you won $100 million tomorrow, you would: A: I would make so many people happy. Remember the show "The Millionaire"...yeah like that only I'd start with my friends and family. Once that was done I'd be looking to the local communites out there, the churches and social groups. I would look for that family or person that has had nothing but undeserved hardships and help them get back on their feet. Ty Pennington your job rocks!!! I would love to do what he does forever... Q: Describe your political views: A: Vote Smart, Vote Ron Paul. Hey folks it isn't working...we need to make a change...remember the last good president...Ron Reagan...yeah well he's moved on and Ron Paul can take his place. Whoever you vote for in this upcoming election, study them, make sure they are for what you believe and not just a politician trying to get elected...and whatever you do, don't make a discriminatory vote...that would be voting for one of the candidates just because of some sexual, religious, or race related reason. Vote for the candidate that best expresses what you want for our country! Q: Your main source of current events: A: I Google everything. Take that advice for what I mentioned above about Ron Paul... Q: Household Income? A: Not getting paid what I'm worth and letting Uncle Sam take too much like every other American I know...See Political view above for more...
