Shawn's Story

Then School- I hardly remember anybody from John I. However, I did love Chorus and computer class. Nothing in school would've meant a damn thing if not for chorus geeks. I felt perfectly at home there, singing the day away in JILL JIVE and AMC. Unfortunately, I don't remember anybody's names. Well, except Melinda (she sat near me) but I'm sure I'd recognize some if I ran into them in person. Computers were just easy, not to say that the people were very endearing but the machines were what it was all about; something new at the time that nobody knew how to use except for the few of us that cared to learn. Anyway, school sucked, so did college. Don't know what else to tell you. It was all like a bad dream, the interactions with people being the only redeeming aspect. Over the Years Travels- I moved to upstate NY when 19 yrs. old but moved back to WPB less than a year later. No money or jobs there. Moved to KU territory in KS at 27, moved back to WPB less than a year later. No money or jobs there either. Still in West Palm now (Boynton). Strangest job I ever had was being some rich guy's personal assistant/driver. Drove his kids to school, shopped, planned trips, drove on the short ones, booked flights on the long ones. He eventually started racing NASCAR; had his car built from scratch at a shop in NC. Interesting experience in the pit crew/area. He turned out to be heavily medicated and slightly crazy so I left. Strange Experiences- Got ran over by a wave runner at about 50 mph once. Pu...Expand for more
t me on my butt for 6 weeks, broken ankle, messed up ligaments and tendons all through my left leg, 10 months of PT to walk straight again, no lingering aftereffects. Wrecked a car at 120 mph once, didn't hit anybody, took out 2 light poles on 95 near Lake Worth High (those are $2,600 each, by the way), $12,000 damage to a $14,000 car, walked away without a scratch or bruise. God has a plan for me and that one proved it. Now Business- King of Google! I can find anything and I'm getting known for it in my job. It keeps me in a cubicle but that's ok, I'm the "go to guy" in every job. Somehow, I ended up being EVERYbody's IT guy. If I don't know you well or you're not family, I charge money; otherwise, I do a LOT of computer repair and clean up jobs for free. Drives me nuts sometimes. Personal- Everybody treats me like some sort of Zen Buddhist or something, like I have all the answers. I have always been a great listener and giver of well rounded advice but, generally, people don't take advice. Still, they come to me; more and more each week, like I have all the answers. I don't. If I had all the answers, I'd be rich cause I really like the potential money I've never had. However, I am happy. I have, and have always had, a great family. I have a wonderful relationship with a beautiful girl. Does that mean I have it all figured out? I don't know but it works for me.
