I always wanted to be a computer programmer when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a good idea. As it turns out, they were right.
To relax, I watch tv, surf the internet, play foosball or billiards or bowl or attend an open m...Expand for more
ike, see a movie, or watch netflix.
I have no hero. My inspiration comes from within by having an empty mind.
The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Mohammed Irwin and Jeff Smith, because we were best friends in high school for whom I lost touch..
If I could improve my home, I'd remove the insulation and replace it with new foam spray insulation to better insulate the house. My dream home would be a dome home with four light houses on the corners and a swimming pool for a moat all enclosed in a transparent shell with a thermal chimney with a wind turbine inside used to generate power.
I gained five new kids when I remarried. They are all good kids in need of guidance. Hopefully I will provide them with the guidance that will help make them self-sufficient and productive members of society.
If I won $100 million, I'd give half of it to uncle sam, then spend the rest on paying off bills/debts with interest, my new family and vacation and build a low income dome home community in order to use it to retire..
My best friend would tell you I'm perfect, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as nice.
In 10 years, I hope to be in the Seattle area. I'm going to get there by kicking the kids out of the house as they would all be over 18 and selling the current house and moving.
My first job was at HEB, where I got paid minimum wage to bag groceries and haul them to people's cars and drive them home. What I remember most about it is drinking a quart of eggnog during break during christmas season because it was so busy..
It is November 2014 now, and I am in Seattle. I lost my job with Convergys in 2013 and found a job with Darigold two weeks later, though we needed to move and so I didnt start until another 6 weeks later. I am happy with my new job.
