Joel's Story
To whom it may concern...
I hope all of your adversity has made you a hell of a character -- works for me! I have many great memories from in and around the C.L. Central Community High School building. There's a lot of people I think of from that crusty, old structure, too! Central is like a family thing for me: Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle, Mom, Glenn, and I all graced the halls with our presence. My Gramps blew up the chemistry lab once, and chipped his front tooth! How's that for a Central memory?! Maybe it's better that I didn't get into chemistry, at least not more than mild experimentation! ;-) I also have heard that my old house (formerly Grams & Gramps) is a somewhat (in)famous location - I miss 216 2nd St.! Lots of adventures & music happened in the garage and the basement of that place between Glenn & I and friends! Had to laugh when I heard the owners just tore out my custom "throne" toilet (just happened to hear that from a former Charging Hoses singer working at the place - the irony)! My daughter also attends a Central H.S. in Wisconsin - ironic?! She's a Falcon, not a Tiger, but that's ok, and a way better student than Daddy, though my grades weren't half bad. I think Mr. Blundy said to someone ,"If Joel studied as hard as he plays guitar, he'd have straight...Expand for more
A's." My cumulative was still over 3, though I had my "sweet distractions" Jr. and Sr. year (some sooner)! Would've done better in Accelerated Trigonometry if I had known at the time that it applies to SOUND - WTF?! Oh well ! "I wish... I... could know what I know right now... when I was younger..." Hindsight's 20/20: career changes, anyone?! Spouse changes?! Life changes?! Anyone? Anyone?! LMAO Why did I hang on to fricken DRYWALL, anyway? Must've been the beer...
Still looking for a lady kind, caring, crazy and/or stupid enough to have at least 1 boy of mine...I do good work - my daughter is beautiful, smart and musical ! Only 2 males left in this branch of the Porter Family Tree, and I haven't received any paternity requests in the mailbox or in the form of a court summons...yet. LOL
Hope you can find a little peace in this not-so-peaceful world, and maybe some work, too! See you guys around with 1 of 3 bands: "Some Hot Babes" / "The Knockers" & "Still Kickin" and on Facebook. JKP
P.S. I missed the 10-year, but I'll see ya at the (WHA?!) 20-year reunion in 2011. Maybe we can get all the '90's classes in 1 place like the '80's classes are doing in July 2010, and even invite the Gators! Might be rowdy! Lemme know if the event needs a band! :-)
