Jerry's Story

Okay, who put these story wizards together. My best friend would tell you I'm unable to keep a meaningful relationship but people who don't know me drive by me really fast on the expressway and flip me off. and another...I watched that "what not to wear." and I had to clear out my wardrobe. I never had a weird job, only weird co-workers. I share my home with an insane little dog called Molly. Sometimes my kids come over but they spend their time avoiding living at their mother's (my-ex) house. I got a divorce last year...my Dad said do everything you can to avoid getting a divorce. I never went to my Dad for much advice...he was a little missing in action as a Father, but he was right. Divorce for me was the worst 6 months of my life. I hated getting up in the morning...for the first few days I couldn't sleep. So...okay...that's boring. more Story Wizard stuff: Do-overs: I would talk to my mother again about my ex BEFORE I got married. wouldn't have stopped me because I have great kids. Okay, my son...who won't keep a job...he's okay. And my daughter who I now am in debt for her college...okay they're both still great. But I live my separate life too. Maybe wrong or right I'm not all into my kids. I do the important and unimportant things but I let them become themselves not a "mini-me". I commuted 120 miles to work every week for 3 years just to keep the house. I am a good Father...maybe not in ways but they know they can come to me for ANYTHING. So I guess I don't have do-overs...except one and that's for me to keep. In 10 years I want like 15 grandkids. but I have only two kids, so that's going to be kinduh hard...seeing numbers like that. more Story Wizards stuff: What would surprise everyone (how about anyone...Expand for more
)...blah, blah...okay, I trained with a vocal coach when I was 38 and got into an Opera chorus as a Second Tenor. (not an ordinary community theater, full blown Grand Opera). God blessed me by allowing me to be in four operas as a chorus member. No, I don't have an alternative lifestyle...just like to sing and have always loved Opera, coming from Oak Park...get that. So I was in Carmen last year...OMG...what a production. I'm on a short clip on youtube passing through a few scenes, just a chorus member, but having the time of my life. When that curtain goes up...chorus or principal...it's a rush. Are you bored by now? Okay, how about some mundane stuff...I married once/divorced once. have 2 fantastic kids. Graduated from Wichita State with a Computer Engineering degree. I work for Magellan Midstream Partners (yes that tank fire in Fairfax, that was ours), we were installing new programs in Omaha when Channel 9 started showing the fire. Yes, folks it was only a couple thousand GALLONS of Unleaded...and it had no effect on market price, get over it. I did work at Wal-Mart before Magellan. Worked in the Pharmacy Division...HIPAA and all that stuff. I worked in Store Systems. If your script was at a WM...my team allowed you to get your drugs/meds. So I impacted your life, get over it. LOL... I was involved in Rowing while at college. Rowed, Coached, tried out for the National team ('85), now I'm a Referee. I was supposed to keep this short...crap. I don't have any childhood memories...they were lost. Oh I've traveled to 23 foreign countries...THAT was fun. That's a little about me. If you don't know who I am...that's okay...I'm beginning to wonder if my kids know me either. So you're not alone...LATER. Jerry.
