David's Story
Life
In the years after graduation, I've found life to be quite different than my expectations. At this point in my life I find myself divorced, living in a small cozy house on an acre and a half of land, out in the sticks, with my two dogs and one cat,.....and I love it. I've parted ways with a lifetime of playing in a band, and trying to change the world. Instead, I've opted to alter only my little corner of it. I play volleyball in a league, love to spend time training my dogs, and being a hobbyist photographer. I've indulged myself in tracing my family's genealogy back centuries, pursuing a continuing education in renewable engeries, and looking to recommit myself to my artistic dabblings. I still love meeting new people, and doing different things. Variety is the spice of life. I love anything that requires physical activity,..sports, hiking, hell given the chance I'd even skydive. And even though I don't perform music anymore, there's nothing I love more than spending the afternoon at a jazz festival, or any music venue.

I love to touch base with people from my past and compare how our lives have differed, and how events have changed us. I believe there is still a lot of my life yet to be lived, at a time in my existence when I believe I could appreciate it the most. My body has been good to me, there's not a lot that it isn't capable of, even now,....so I'd like to revel in it, while health is not an issue. Fate has handed me both good and bad, and I refuse to let the bad shape what I have become. THAT, I learned in high school. After all, "Anything's better than having a lit cigar shoved up your nose.". Right?
