Kenneth's Story

February 9, 2019. Read my profile notes also dated February 9, 2019. I won at auction some serious DJ equipment. I'm in heaven bro. I don't have Mom and Dad telling to turn down the stereo. The bass is kicking ass. I'm listening to old Funk, Thirty Seconds to Mars--the Kill, Gorgon City and Calvin Harris for House. Very cool. See ya! January 3, 2019. Folks, me, aka Big Ken is doing well. But, I give F Troop hell. Read my profile notes. Now I'm not a bitter old man, but I'm a ham. Quite successful but my good looks on the decline. In fact, my once gorgeous face now looks like my behind. I've been through hell and I still smell but why dwell... In the past. I used to be better in bed and I could last. But lately I took a pass and I'm in my own self absorbed morass. You don't like my passing gas? Yo bro, you can kiss my Irish ass! Peace. 22 December 2017. Gang, I need your help. I was once a highly successful entrip manure, who had the Shark Tank invest in my boudoir products. I traveled all over the globe, including the model globe I keep from high school. It still spins. But, I'm down on my luck. I invested heavily in the Edsel car, and futures. Now, I live under a Highway overpass that is also the sewer line for Tijuana, Mexico. I need at least $2 bucks from you suckers to help me join this disgraceful website. Then I can tell you my complete, unedited horror story and my slide into the abyss of underpass living. I also need a new shopping cart to stow my worldly goods. Also, another buck for a new begging cup and the sign materials when I beg for money. Please. This is serious business. Don't love all of you but need your Benjamin's. Peace, Big Ken September 19, 2017. For those hooligans who thought I was a goner, based on the recent Hurricane in the Houston area, sorry Charlie! Sorry for those in glee. However, I still walk the earth among you! I don't live near Houston. However, I helped Houstonians impacted by the recent devastating Hurrican. Lesson learned: "Don't count The Goose *out until he is in the box, or cremated. I don't yearn for an urn, but when I die and its my turn, I'll probably pick the big box. Peace, out! Big Ken P.S. My "Goose " moniker is discussed below. "The Goose" was one of several monikers or nicknames I was crowned during my formative high school years. The genesis of my nickname was based on my proclivity of Gooseing (sic) fine looking ladies in high school. Or, I pinched them in the posterior.. I was a rude, crude, New York City dude. But, I've since changed. Presently, based on maturity, I limit my uncontrollable urge to Gooseing. (sic) to my pet Iguana! I only Goose my pet Iguana and my new adopted cat, aka Spotty. Stay loose like a Goose.😆 Peace, out! Kenny sends ____!!___!!!!!!!__________________________________ December 12, 2016. Hi fans and worthy friends. For your pleasure, I posted on this pre -Christmas Day not one, but two impressive pictures. The pictures are my legs. An absolutely most attractive feature of my fabulous physique. You chuckle. Some of you grin and guffaw. But, despite your snide remarks. I authorize you to call me---"The Body!' Remember when you look up at the Night Sky. Remember me who is also known as "The Night Rider!" November 17, 2016. Organizing my workshop with new shelves and related office equipment. I have bonded with a neighbor's cat. He prefers my choice food. My garden is looking great...something you can appreciate. Can't believe I just turned 65, no jive, I'm 65. I've been blessed with a variety of circumstances. More to follow...and I no longer wallow in the world....that can often be hollow. Stay loose like a Goose. Oh, Bruce... You're lady Hillary didn't have the juice to win the Presidency. Peace y'all. January 8, 2016. I was called "Cheap Charlie" by the Bar Girls in the Philippines. Hence, this perhaps explains why I have not upgraded here. Go to my FB page for real guffaws.Hugs, Big Ken. October 2015. Hot Texas summer days over. Still picking and grinning.Need a woman with a pickup. Please send picture of pickup. Thanks. May 12, 2015. Big Ken is still havin' a natural ball, y'all. On a lighter note, try sneaking over to the Paramus Spartans net (one linked word) site. Also try the place called class connection with the com added. See ya friends! Peace, out! November 7, 2014. A repeat entry because I'm known as Kenny "Two Times." This>>>>> Please note that I'm not a current paying member of this Classmates website. I would like Classmates, Inc., to make the site free since I'm a free spirit. Therefore, I apologize since I'm unable to write a response to visitors (or even ask for a date from a hot looking PHS lady!). Thanks for signing in as a visitor. Perhaps in the future I will sign up as a paying member? That is-- after I stop living in a broken down van by the river! November 1, 2014. Please read the following at your own risk. It is quite disturbing. Maybe it was my birthday today? WTF knows, I can't remember my name let alone my social security number or birthday. Was it too much glue sniffing in carpentry class ? But, I ain't telling anyone even if I knew. You want to know how insane and zany I've become? Or how bitter an old wretch I is (or am)? Maybe your interested knowing that I've gone completely and utterly macabre? If yes to any of the foregoing questions, please consider visiting Ken McDonough's Facebook Page. I purposely mock and insult everyone because I'm a mean spirited person. Update: I've just initiated Meditation and Yoga. Hence, I'm now evolving into a positive, nice, and sensitive man? To observe my transformation, you're cordially invited to my aforesaid Facebook page. Hugs, Ken (aka Kenny) McDonough. P.S. Despite my evolving positive persona, I will never become a Vegan like my good friend Mark. October 23 2014. Big Ken is still pickin' and grinnin'. July 4, 2014. Update number ten thousand and two. I've edited the zany comments I previously wrote here since I did not want to disturb you. I've been told I'm disturbed already? 5 Feb 14. Update number two (or is it ten thousand and two?). Edited...I'm still crazy after all these years! As of September 2007 (Updated on December 25, 2013)): Hi all. Here is the lowdown on Ken McDonough. This assumes you have any interest in reading about my boring and uneventful life? I'm still trying to stay "cool" after all these years. I graduated from Rockland Community College, AAS, Business, in 197___; Michigan State University, BA, in 197__; George Washington University, MHA, 198___. University of Wisconsin, MPA, 198___. Loyola University of Chicago, Juris Doctor (Law), 198___. Note: I don't want to give my age away so I left out the last digit of the years I obtained various college degrees. I have traveled all over the U.S., Europe, and Asia. My extensive travel was primarily in conjunction with my 25 years of active duty military service. This service included the U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force. I served on active duty in the U.S. Navy from 1977 until 1987. I was then on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 1987 until 2002, retiring in the rank of Major. I was in the health care administration field in both the Navy and Air Force. My last assignment in the Air Force was Director, Logistics and Facilities Management, Pentagon, VA. My other jobs included positions in Medical Logistics; Quality Improvement; Director, Administration; Director, Human Resources; Director, Outpatient and Ambulatory Clinics; Director, Facilities; and, Director, Patient Services. I was stationed at the Pentagon during the terrorist attack on 9-11-2001 (when the jet struck the Pentagon and the World Trade Center Towers). Sad day. I was involved in the FBI body recovery efforts. I retired from the Air Force in 2002. In short, the Terrorist attack was a surrealistic experience. Please note that I'm not a current paying member of this Classmates website. I would like Classmates, Inc., to make the site free since I'm a free spirit. So I apologize. However, I can't write a response to visitors. Thanks for signing in as a visitor. Perhaps in the future I will sign up as a paying member? I wish I could leave my telephone and email address here but your not permitted to leave that personal information. I currently reside in the San Antonio, Texas area. I purchased several acres and built a home. I'm currently working in the contracting field for the U.S. government in Texas. When I first moved to Texas I asked the following basic questions: What is a tractor ? What are cowboy boots? What does fixin' to get it done really mean? Well, I'm from Jersey--go figure ? On the other hand, it's nice to wear shorts and a light shirt in the months of December and January. My current interests include martial arts--I have a black belt in Hapkido, and Kuk Sool Won (both Korean Martial Arts). I learned stick and knife fighting in the Philippines (aka Arnis/Eskrima). I'm currently studying Tang Soo Do, Arnis/Escrima, and Jiu-Jitsu. Update: I recently obtained my Texas concealed carry permit. Folks, it's getting rough out there in those mean streets. Note: I do not give the finger to road rage drivers anymore. Someone else may go Postal and pull out their pistols on me. Just sayin'. My latest vacation was to the Dominican Republic and the Philippines in March 2007. I spent two years in Korea learning the culture and continuing my martial arts experience. Update: I recently vacationed in Florida. Note: I'm now seeking a new girlfriend. She must have a New Jersey accent and have a residence off the Garden State Parkway! Note: I have not traveled much in the last two years since I was in a Texas prison for stealing chickens and hubcaps. No, not really. But it sounds cool, ri...Expand for more
ght? I'm currently restoring a 1957 Chevy Belair Sport Coupe. I also acquired a 1967 Chevelle SS with the original 396 engine and 4 speed Muncie transmission. Update: I'm currently looking at a 1962 Corvette. Update: The 1962 Corvette is now mine. I purchased the 1962 Corvette in December 2007. I'm restoring it via a slow process. I work out, swim, jog, and I'm in great shape. Note: The latter statement was in the past. In the last two months of 2013, I put on an unbelievable 200 pounds. Also, during the same time period I woke up with a slight drooling problem. The extra weight I obtained in such a short time period, resulted in my legs now being bowed. Hence, I'm now bow legged with a noticeable lisp. This stuff may have happened due to my overindulgence in Lipitor, or was it that glue? Unless I slim down, my future is looking bleak. Certainly this impacts on my dating aspirations or any quantifiable result. I published several articles on sports, martial arts, camping, winter camping, skiing, and general interest areas. I have also written ridiculous comments on my Facebook page. Often I write insipid silly comments. Then when I wake up I realize the error of my ways. So, I go back and edit out my lame comments. This is repeated incessantly. Please help me! My two sons are now grown and live in a Northeast U.S. state. My wife, Lucille, was from Mobile. She left me when it was time to harvest the crops. Don't ya know she up and left in the dead of winter. I eventually caught up to her after extensive search efforts. I met her and her new boyfriend Kenny Rogers in a bar in Podunk, Iowa. I told her "You picked a fine time to leave Lucille, with four hungry children and a crop in the field..." But, I don't want to bore you with my past wife problems. I can reasonably state that I have accomplished most of my life goals. I often wish we were back in the 1960's and early 1970's. Those were glorious, fun, creative times. My unaccomplished goal is to win the mega-millions Lottery. Then I would not have to pan handle on various street corners as I currently do. If you see me with a cup in my hand, please don't walk away without saying hello. That is inconsiderate folks! Oh, I forgot to mention-- I also accept gratuities. Therefore, if you see me on the corner of your neighborhood, with my dented cup held out stoically, at the very least drop a buck or two in the cup. Nothing less than 50 cents will be accepted. That is management's new policy. By the way a side note comment:: I'm Management! If you decide to contact me after reading this drivel, then I may fill you in on some of my secret missions into Southeast Asia. Yes, check out Kensnote at the infamous yahoo dot com site. I have many stories to share regarding wine, women, mystery and intrigue -- coupled with adventure. Have you seen the movie the Bourne Ultimatum ? Or is it the Bourne Legacy? I was a government asset. Another Update: I'm learning how to two-step and country waltz. I recently purchased a pair of Ropers. For you Yankees aka "Northeastern folk" Ropers have nothing to do with bondage. Ropers are cowboy boots. Also, if you learn to say the following phrase with a West Texas twang, you will blend right in the South Central Texas area, re: "That don't cut no grass down here." Remember to keep all your pictures, postcards, mementos, and certifications in high school sewing and baking classes, in a hermetically sealed, number 2 mayonnaise jar. Us baby boomers are now fading into the sunset. As Simon and Garfunkel would sing, "Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you." Finally, remember to keep the greasy side down! Peace, out! Regards-- or here is wishing you "champagne wishes and caviar dreams." Ken McDonough aka "The Man from Glad." Down, but not out-- in Big Texas _______________________________________________________________________________ Update number 4 on December 2013: P.S. the following additional information was added on the prompts from Classmates e.g., Their "Story Wizard questions." I have answered several of their boilerplate questions below. You may like some of my answers. Or you may believe that I have gone completely and utterly mad! Or is it insane? "Well, Alright! Alright! Alright!" Story Wizard Idea 2. "I always wanted to be a dirty ol' man when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a stupid idea. As it turns out, they were right, cause I'm now a dirty ol' man." But in a nice, non-threatening way (Big Ken is grinning). Story Wizard Idea 3. "How do you blow off steam? Describe your favorite way to relax." Answer: I blow off steam by blowing on a hot steaming iron...and while drinking a nice Crown Royale with a hint of 7-Up. I also like a Dry Vodka Martini, shaken not stirred... Story Wizard Idea 4. "What's the wildest thing you ever did in school?" Answer: The wildest thing I ever did in high school was either the time a cheerleader and I went under the bleachers...or when I was thrown out of the library by the infamous Mr. D. How many of you have seen the movie Porky's? Well remember Kim Cattrall as Miss Lynn "Lassie" Honeywell...you get the idea? Story Wizard Idea 5. If I'm going to work somewhere, what do I need? I need to have a couple of drinks, a rubber room, and total silence to be able to deal with the day-to-day stresses. I may be a difficult person to work with but I try to be a team player. I personify the meaning of multitasking but still revert to slow poke ways. Note: I've abstained from drinking in the last 10 months. Story Wizard Idea 6. Do I have a hero? Vince Lombardi, Joe Namath, Willis Reed, Joe Don Baker (of Walking Tall movie fame--loved his bashing stick!). Story Wizard Idea 7. "Where have you lived? Why did you move?" As Johnny Cash sang, "I've been everywhere man, I've been everywhere." The military moves you quite often. Plus I attended different colleges and universities in different states. "I wish they could all be New Jersey or California coed girls..." source: Beach Boys. Story Wizard Idea 8, "The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is that lovely girl/lady who sat in the 3rd row of math class,Paramus High School, because we often stared at each other. Man, she was a fox. But alas, I was too shy to pursue her. Although I did tell her in the hallway after math class, "I ain't a mathematician, but I sure would like to count on you!" If you can remember what band sang that phrase you win the door prize. Story Wizard Idea 10. "Life doesn't always turn out the way you expect. What's been your biggest surprise?" Answer: Wow, that I'm still alive. I remember that time in Los Angeles when my friend ripped off _____ , a notorious ____ and Wiseguy. Man, he sent his henchmen out to whack all of his. I grabbed a Grey Hound Bus the next day and never looked back. Then the time in the Philippines when a Jeepney driver pulled into a back alley and two thugs with knives came at me. Well those guys did not expect me to ____ down their ____. And, I refused to pay their hospital bills. Story Wizard Idea 11. "If I could improve my home, I'd remodel and add on a steam room and indoor swimming pool. My dream home would be what it is now. A nice house on a few acres." Story Wizard Idea 22. "What's the weirdest job you ever had?" Answer: A few, e.g., Bungalow Bar Man aka Good Humor Man, Truesy Inspector at a "Falsey" Manufacturing Plant, Playing the Gorilla in the Play "Mighty Joe Young." I was also "Ice" in the theater production of West Side Story...I sang "Just play it cool man...real cool..." This was not on Broadway, but Off, Off, Off,- real Off- Broadway. Story Wizard Idea 23. "I share my home with deer and antelope, which I find fiendishly funny." Story Wizard Idea 24. "Got trophies on your mantel? Share a big victory." Answer: That would be too macabre. Yes, I'm normal...I think?..." Story Wizard Idea 26. "In 10 years, I hope to be pickin', grinnin', and whittlin' on the House Veranda. Accomplished by being a Hobo and hitching a railroad boxcar while playing and singing Boxcar Willy songs." Story Wizard Idea 28. "What about you would surprise everyone at your high school reunion?" Answer: That I have actually become younger and quite handsome...well, if the truth be told my nose is slightly bulbous...I often drool, I have a slight bow-legged gait, and an incessant limp, plus a recurring lisp. Other than those physical malfunctions, I still can strike a pose. Seriously, I'm really a T-1000 Cyborg Model Terminator. Moreover, I'm composed of a "mimetic poly-alloy", a liquid metal that allows me to take the shape and appearance of anyone or anything I touch. So go ahead, do a fact check! Story Wizard Idea 29. "My first job was at the Dairy Queen on Route 17, where I got paid to tell fellow classmates to clean up their table mess. What I remember most about that job is that I was repeatedly told where to go; and, that place recommended was hellishly hot." Story Wizard Idea 30. "Share a childhood memory you'll never forget." Answer. Being a skinny Irish kid in an Italian neighborhood; the Jersey shore and looking at the babes or, I mean--ladies; making the basketball team; graduating college with high honors; my trips into the "City" to dance the night away...the hippy's in Greenwich Village...living in Chicago, Washington, D.C, California, and now Texas (but I'm still a child at heart). Addendum: If I could leave my telephone number and other ways to contact me, I would. Just look up Ken McDonough in San Antonio, Texas. Tell the telephone operator that your looking for the New Jersey Mad Man. Please pick up the subtle or obvious humor and positive vibe in the above "story wizard" notes. Peace, out!

Big Ken's Head of Hair.

Hey you squares...dig my bountiful head of hair. This pic was taken no more than 60 seconds ago...man my hair (rear view) really flow (+s).

You jealous mavens? You still listening to Richie Havens?
It is almost 3 am in the morning.

I suddenly awakened to the sound of a cricket in this table. When I looked further I was shocked.

Terrible, right?

l've noticed an uptick in FaceBook afficionado's using their Cellphones as a photography tool. Great idea. I have adopted that idea, but added my own unique twist. For example,

This is the money shot. The picture below captures my current state of affairs.
