John's Story
John's schools include Redvers High School.
Music John likes includes The Envy, The Beatles.
One of John's favorite quotes is:"There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore, and who always will. So don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future...
Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for." -Bob Marley
OILFIELD MEN are: not afraid to get dirty, rough around the edges, cocky, head strong, intense, hard working, competitive, driven, passionate, strong, out spoken, sometimes harsh but honest men. Most came from a modest childhood and are determined to give us more than what they had. GUARANTEED: they miss birthdays, ann...iversaries, holidays, good/bad days, and unplanned emergencies year after year. ...........................They do not have the pleasure of kissing their children goodnight or sleeping with their woman every night or even telling loved ones goodbye in their dying hour. An oilfield man willingly goes to a "Oil Rig in Da middle of no wh...Expand for more
ere" for weeks at a time where he MUST go to work everyday because there are NO sickdays or playing hookie, he eats at a scheduled time or not at all, and works all day in dangerous/unsuitable weather from hurricanes to sandstorms because the job must be done. Why would anyone do this? Because an oilfield man is SELFLESS! Facing the long hard hours KNOWING that he will be; uncomforta ble, strained, pushed to his limit, and tired. They are often degraded by their superiors who yell, scream, and cuss at them more and more as the weeks go by and the testosterone rises. He has to bite his tongue and swallow his pride recalling that the pictures inside his hard hat are the only reasons he has to not quit. Over half of his time is dedicated to his rig while his heart is always at home. An oilfield man endures the days in an about an 8x8 room counting down the days until he has a cold beer in hand with his woman by his side. Why? BECAUSE AN OILFIELD MAN PUTS THOSE HE LOVES BEFORE HIMSELF. It's not only true love but a selfless love and genuine concern for their family's future. He sacrifices his life for ours.".
