Ray's Story
Hopefully they remember me as a true friend...just a good person.
I always wanted to be a boxer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a dumb idea. As it turns out, they were probably wrong.
boxing was a great way to blow off steam...probably now I just let the steam blow more then I should
Make out by the lockers when everyone was around...but really...was I at school much...and if I was at school was I really there...some things I just can't say what I did without incriminating myself.
If I'm going to work somewhere, I need to have freedom, space, and be the boss to be able to deal with the day-to-day.
there are so many people in the world that you can call a hero.
I have lived in so many places in the world...being a Military brat...and Member...I had the great privledge to see a lot of the world. Some of those places...Turkey, Okinawa, Japan, Hawaii, Saudi, Qatar and Philippines.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Wow Wow, because So many, thats a tough one..
Steelers 6 Time Superbowl Champs! I have a Dog that stays with my parents cause I didn't want to bring her to the PI and she loves it there. I like reality TV...Obsessions...hahaha thats funny!
My biggest surprise is that I'm living in the Philippines...and I just had my frist Daughter...she wasn't a surprise...anyways who would have thought?
If I could improve my home, I'd remodel by blowing it up and add on a New House. My dream home would be My own, I only rent a house cause I can't own property here..
How neat life is!!!
Which teacher would you love to see again? Why? Wow so many...so many passed me when I didn't deserve it. I had some cool teachers...and a few not so.
If I won $100 million, I'd give a lot of it to family, then spend the rest on charity, myself and family.
I never lived in a college campus dorm...but lived in many dorms in the military...dorm live had its ups and downs...met a lot of good people...and a few that I should have kicked the s_-t out of. Great parties!
To be truly happy, you would be where, doing what, with whom? I should have been a boxing champ...that was a life goal never achieved...damn military! I would be in Okinawa or here in the Philippines. If I ended up in Okinawa I would probably soaking up the sun on a beach or a dive instructor...or who knows back doing special security. With whom, well I'm happy right now...so I would be with Pearl and Kaisha. But, if my life had turned in another direction...then there are a lot of people I would be with.
My current age is 43. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be at 12 who cared. I was so completely right.
I don't know about working hard. Over here in the PI there are a lot of career aspirations...if I wanted to put the money into it...like a restuarant or night club...or juicy bar "for those of you that know what that is". Hell even a small store or a big resort.
What happened to your first crush? Wow I was eight years old and she was in high school...damn we had some fun...our families lost contact with eachother so I don't know what happened to her...but I h...Expand for more
ad so many crushes and most of them never even knew.
My best friend would tell you I'm probably not as shy as I let on, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as stuck up..
Wow I have gone through so many different styles...I don't dress my age...most people would say now I probably have a hip hop style at times...sometimes a athletic style. But I get compliments on how I dress so I guess it works.
What's the weirdest job you ever had? Probably a heavy equipment salesmen...atleast thats what they called us but we sold everything from tape to big a-s equipment. There were people making thousands and thousands of dollars by 10am...then waiting for the liquor store to open go buy a 12 pack and come back to the office kick off the shoes and lean back and drink the rest of the day away. If they would have worked a full day they would have millions...but I guess it was more fun to make 6 grand a week and get drunk and throw your office mate out a glass window and off a second floor balcony. One time I sold a couple thousand dollars of raincoats to an eskimo that didn't sell one in his previous years stock...don't think he really understood english...but he did say raincoats.
I share my home with my girlfriend and my baby girl, which I find wonderful.
I don't have any trophies up...I know I have a few in storage...but thats where they will stay. Victories I would share would be from teams I coached and coaching them to titles.
You get one do-over. What do you do differently? Only one...I think I need a lot lot more...but more recently I wouldn't have gotten married here in the PI. I will leave it at that, cause come on, no one probably cares or will read any of this anyways.
In 10 years, I hope to be remarried. I'm going to get there by getting an annulment from my current wife! Hahaha!.
Its a shame that I have lost contact with some people I thought I would be a friend for life...and even if I still say they are a friend I just don't know where they are. Some of my best friends now hated me when we first met...until something made us start talking to eachother and finding out we weren't so bad. Goes to say don't judge the book by the cover. And I've always said if someone really takes time to get to know me...they know I'm a friend truely worth having!
What about you would surprise everyone at your high school reunion? I don't think anyone at the reunion would remember who I was...and if they did remember they probably wouldn't care...but I could be wrong...it wouldn't be the first. But come on I wasn't that popular anyways!
My first job was at a mexican restuarant, where I got paid a little over minimum to was dishes. What I remember most about it is they made me be a waiter one day when all the waiters called in sick and I waited on a family of a girl I had a slight crush on and spilled water all over there table.
I'll always remember my first memory of myself standing at the front door of our house in diapers calling my sister to home cause it was dinner time...I couldn't even say her name...I just yelled bim bim come home its time to eat.
